Samuel glanced at Power Woman with a half-smile and turned to walk into the Shockwave tunnel.
They entered one by one, returning to Killer Frost's apartment. Except for Power Woman, everyone changed their clothes and put on their uniforms.
Immediately after.
"Boom!"
A Shockwave tunnel appeared again.
Passing through the tunnel, everyone appeared in a dimly lit abandoned mine shaft.
"Thump thump thump—thump thump thump—"
Inside a square glass cage, a man wearing an iron helmet was excitedly hitting the glass with his head repeatedly.
"Who is he?"
Everyone walked over. Seeing that the helmeted man in the cage seemed unable to speak, they could only look at Samuel.
It was obvious that this person was the one Samuel wanted to save.
Arriving in front of the glass cage, looking at the hopeful gaze revealed by the helmeted man inside, Samuel said with a light smile.
"This is Speedster's lair, and you should have all heard the name of this person. His name is Jason Garrick, and you can also call him—"
"Flash!"
Everyone was shocked to hear this. This helmeted man is Flash? He was captured by Speedster?
"When was he captured by Speedster? Last night, or today?" Godiva asked in disbelief.
"Wait!"
Power Woman used her x-ray vision to see what was inside the helmet and said in a deep voice: "This isn't Flash, this is an old man!"
Not Flash?
Godiva and Killer Frost subconsciously looked at Samuel.
Before Samuel could speak, the helmeted man excitedly hit the glass again.
"Quiet!"
Samuel suddenly unleashed his Mind Manipulation Ability on him.
In an instant, the helmeted man quieted down.
At the same time, the item drop sound followed.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, item drop: Speed Force (Jason Garrick)"
Samuel looked around at everyone, a slight smile playing on his lips as he retorted, "Who said he's an old man, so he's not Flash?"
Power Woman frowned in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
"If you are Flash, knock once. If not, knock twice. Use your hand!" Samuel said to the helmeted man.
The helmeted man raised his hand and knocked on the glass quite readily.
"Dong!"
He knocked once!
Everyone was stunned. This, this person really is Flash.
"If you are Jason Garrick, knock once. If not, knock twice." Samuel asked again.
"Dong!"
The helmeted man knocked once again.
"This is impossible. We all know Flash. He, he's not an old man, and he doesn't look like this." Power Woman found it hard to understand.
Samuel patted her shoulder and asked lightly, "Have you ever thought that you were prejudiced, and the Flash you know might not be the real Flash at all."
Power Woman felt like she couldn't think straight anymore. The Flash she knew wasn't the real Flash?
This, this is too absurd, isn't it?
If Flash isn't Flash, then who is he? Why would he use someone else's name?
This, this doesn't make sense!
"Godiva, you can use your Mind Manipulation Ability to confirm his identity. I think he shouldn't mind."
Samuel looked at Godiva.
Godiva glanced at the helmeted man who was nodding repeatedly, and then unleashed her Mind Manipulation Ability.
In an instant, her expression changed. It became very frightened, very ugly!
"Are you okay? What did you see?" Power Woman asked with concern.
Godiva shook her head and said angrily, "We've been deceived. We've been deceived by Flash, no—by Speedster!"
Power Woman was even more confused. How did Speedster get involved in this?
"Speedster is Flash, Flash is Speedster, they are the same person!"
Godiva explained, "Speedster's real name is Hunter Zolomon. This helmeted man is Jason Garrick, the real Flash. Speedster stole his name and identity."
"And he, he's from another Universe!"
Power Woman waved her hand, clearing her thoughts, and pointed at the helmeted man, saying, "His name is Jason Garrick, he's the Flash from another Earth. He was captured by Speedster, which is Hunter Zolomon."
"Then Speedster stole his identity and name, playing two roles, fighting against himself?"
Godiva nodded, "That's right!"
Power Woman frowned and said, "I don't understand. Why would he do this? What's in it for him?"
"At first, I didn't understand either, but now, I know."
Godiva glanced at Samuel and said, "If there were no Flash, things wouldn't have escalated to this point."
Power Woman subconsciously recalled that her impression of Samuel all came from Flash. Because Flash was a recognized hero, she had never doubted the validity of his words.
Precisely because of this, she and Godiva were successively captured by Samuel, Golden Vanguard and the others became enemies with Samuel, ultimately leading to the current outcome.
"He killed Iron-Masked General and Maya! This bastard, I will never let him go!" Power Woman said through clenched teeth.
Godiva nodded in shared anger, but Samuel shook his head, disagreeing.
"You can only deal with Speedster, not Flash. And, you cannot expose his identity!"
"Why?" Power Woman asked, displeased.
"No why!" Samuel looked at her and said lightly, "You need to learn to obey. If you can't, I can help you!"
Power Woman glared at Samuel indignantly, but finally compromised and turned around, punching the glass cage.
"Bang!"
A venting punch directly shattered the glass cage!
The helmeted man, who could now officially be called Flash.
Flash was startled by Power Woman's punch, but the joy and excitement of regaining his freedom made him not care about thinking too much!
"Bang bang bang!"
Flash tapped his helmet. He couldn't take this helmet off himself.
"Let me do it." Power Woman understood the structure of the helmet with her x-ray vision, and then switched to Hot Ray.
"Crack!"
The helmet cracked and fell to the ground, revealing Flash's stubbly and haggard appearance.
"There's something inside." Godiva picked up the helmet. There was a miniature device in the helmet similar to an inhibitor.
Flash raised his hand, and his arm quickly vibrated.
"My speed has recovered."
He was overjoyed and repeatedly nodded in thanks to everyone, "Thank you, thank you for saving me!"
"It was just a small effort. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank him."
Power Woman looked at Samuel, "If he hadn't brought us here, we wouldn't have known you were captured by Speedster, let alone that we've been completely fooled by Speedster all along!"
Flash extended his hand towards Samuel, "Thank you. May I know your name?"
"My saving you has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to thank me. Moreover, you need to agree to one condition to truly regain your freedom!"
