Chapter 37

My phone wasn't tracked, I took care of that. I don't think she's going to set a trap for me, but it looks like she really wants to chat, which is weird...

An hour later, I arrived at the cafe and immediately took a table where Caitlin was waiting for me. There was no tail, and there was no smell of Flash or the rest of their team, so she was probably the only one here. Thawne's camera was far away, so it couldn't have picked us up on the second floor.

I ordered coffee and asked:

- What happened? You look worried.-

- This is true...-The girl looked around, then said softly, -Reverse Flash.-

I chuckled:

- I see, you decided to find out, right? Do you really suspect someone?-

The girl nodded:

- Yes, some people are already suspected, but I am... I just can't believe it.-

- Then why are you asking me if I'm telling you the truth?" I'm definitely not the person you should trust.-

The girl looked down and said:

- Yes, but it seems to me that you know something about this. You weren't lying about Roni and Professor Stein, and you were right about the military. So whether I believe you or not, it's up to me.-

I sighed:

- Well, you'll find out soon enough anyway. But remember, you will have to pay for this information one day, whether you want it or not.-

The girl looked at me with displeasure, and I continued:

- In General, let's start from the beginning. First of all, wells is dead, and Cisco and Joe West will find his body very soon. They're in Starling right now, aren't they?- The girl nodded:

- Well, if they're there, they'll be bringing it in soon. Second, the real name of the wells you know is Eobard thawne. I don't know anything about his future dealings or his conflict with the Flash. I just know that he needs Barry for something. He killed wells ' past and assumed his appearance, then the accelerator explosion, the appearance of meta people, and so on...-

Caitlin listened in shock, then asked:

- Thawne... What do you mean, Eddie?-

I nodded:

- That's right, Eddie is his ancestor, if you can call it that... Since we're talking about him, I don't think you'll have a hard time figuring out how to beat Thawne, will you?-

Caitlin thought for a moment, then hesitated.:

- You mean...-

- Right, if you feel sorry for the kid, I can...-

- NO!- the girl interrupted, and stood up with an angry face. - Don't touch it-

I looked at her and grinned:

- I'm kidding, anyway, you may not believe me, but I advise you not to mess with wells right now. If you die, I promise Eddie won't live long.-

- What? Why?-

I chuckled:

-Because the only reason he's still alive is not to make it easier for Barry, and without you, he won't have much of a chance. Well, when thawne finishes you, he can easily switch to me, and I don't need to.-

Caitlin growled:

- You're just...-

- Easy what?" Ruthless? Selfish?- I looked at Caitlin with a grin and said. - Barry's too weak to beat Thawne, and I don't even need to get involved." Flash didn't have the guts to kill him before, and he doesn't have the guts to kill him now. The only way is right under your nose, but if someone isn't ruthless, you'll just die. Barry will try to find another way, of course, that's just like him. But as long as he runs away from reality, someone will still have to act.- He finished his coffee and stood up: - Your cute team of superheroes can only hope for Eddie's courage, if he shoots himself in the head, then you are saved.-

Caitlin didn't say anything, just stood there, frozen. I didn't bother her and left quietly, I hope she doesn't do anything stupid. I doubt she's going to kill Eddie, not like her, and she probably doesn't quite believe in wells ' true identity yet. But I think my words will be enough for her not to risk her head. But what do I care? Let them figure it out, or at least I'll kill Eddie and be done with it. And Caitlin... Hmm, eh, she helped me, though not out of the kindness of her heart... Yeah, it would be unpleasant if she died. All right, if anything happens, I'll step in and kill the guy.

***

Finally, what I've been waiting for has happened. The appearance of a new meta human that has become quite rare, unfortunately. I'd like to get the ability to track them, it would be so much easier.

Hannibal Bates, known as "Faceless", has long been a good hand at various things, but I didn't get into it, I just waited for a good moment. Why do I need to look for him when he will come himself to me? When he attacks Barry, it will be a good chance for capture. I have some concerns about this, though. As far as I remember, the Faceless one's personality just disappeared after he became a meta-human. His appearance was a little creepy, without eyes or hair. I hope this won't happen to me... Well, you still need to take a chance, I'm not going to miss such a copy. I think his problem is not caused by the fact that he reincarnated in other people and lost his identity because of this. It's probably because of the accelerator explosion and the conditions it was in at the time, but this shouldn't happen to me. It's like with Firestorm, probably if I took the bone marrow from him, I might be able to control his power without an extra person. The nuclear reaction in my cells would be balanced, not like Roni and Stein. They complement each other and because of this, the Firestorm is fiery. But this is in theory, but in reality I'm not quite sure... What will happen to me after absorbing Roni and Stein separately? I think all this should be checked by experiments, unfortunately on yourself... But there is no other way, if I want to become stronger, then there is simply no place without risk. i'll administer small doses of bone marrow first, and then we'll see...

I got ready and put on my still-old suit. Very soon, Hartley will finish almost half of the new one. Things are moving pretty quickly for him, I was happy. He said he added a couple more features while making it. I hope everything will be all right, but in the meantime I'll go after the Faceless one. He's already used Eddie's appearance for his own purposes, and I think he's going to attack Barry soon. That's when I'll catch him. I hope my actions don't lead to some unimaginable consequences, but Bates was shot by West when he shot Thawne, I don't want to affect anything... Although, to hell with it, I'm not going to collect corpses after someone else, I've had enough of Tony and black, I'm a predator, not a scavenger, that's enough.

When I arrived at Allen's house, I waited...
