Chapter 259: Great Powers

"Who are you?"

Barry asked Jack a question, and Jack gave him a surprised expression.

"Oh, are you so afraid of me? I just helped you get your dad out of trouble."

"Shouldn't you say thank you at this moment?"

Barry paused for a moment and then realized that if what the other person said was true, he should thank him.

"Alright, Barry, don't be nervous."

The discussion was cut short when Dr. Wells spoke up.

"I already know about your father, congratulations, Barry."

At that moment, his soft smile was so relaxing to Barry.

Jack could not stop himself from sneering. The more respect now, the more hatred later.

Flash and Reverse-Flash were destined to always fight each other.

"Thank you, Doctor."

Barry politely thanked him but couldn't help but ask,

"Doctor, who is he...?"

"Um... He's a... friend of mine, likes to... play pranks, but he means no harm, trust me."

Dr. Wells looked back at Jack and thought he was probably not trying to do anything bad.

"But he... he's very strange."

"Yes, he is strange, but he's a good person."

"He also helped me fulfill my wish."

"It could be a coincidence too. Believe in science, Barry."

...

Barry and Dr. Wells whispered to each other as if no one else was there.

Jack looked at the other two people in the room, as he was looking bored.

Vibe, Cisco Ramon, who could control vibrational force and even open interdimensional space to other universes.

And Killer Frost, Caitlin Snow, who possessed the power of extreme cold and was a nemesis of speedsters.

Of course, they had not fully awakened their powers yet, but there were already signs.

Jack walked up to them and looked at them with curiosity.

Cisco and Caitlin looked a little cautious as they looked at the guest the doctor had invited.

The alarming readings from their detectors showed that he was a superpowered metahuman.

They had to be cautious.

Jack looked at Caitlin and couldn't help but admit that this female scientist was indeed beautiful, much more charming than the Irish.

In the previous season of The Flash that he had watched in his previous life, Caitlin and Barry were a popular couple.

But unfortunately, they didn't end up together.

However, there was one detail from the TV series that left a deep impression on Jack.

There was a metahuman who could shapeshift into other people's appearances.

This person changed into Barry's face and walked into Star Labs, where Caitlin was working alone on her study.

Then, this bold fake Barry hugged and kissed Caitlin.

At first, she was shocked, but by the time he kissed her for the second time, she began to respond.

He still remembered how excited he was when he saw that scene and thought that those two had a chance.

But in the end... this little guy was obsessed with Iris and wouldn't let go.

But this time, there was no Iris getting in the way. It seemed that he could do something.

As if thinking of a good idea, Jack's eyes lit up, and he looked at Caitlin.

"Tell me, what's your wish?"

"What?"

Caitlin looked puzzled, staring at him.

"What wish? Are you saying you can grant my wish?"

"In fact, I can, but it needs a small price to be paid."

Jack waved his hand.

"After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch, right?"

"Wow, impressive. Can you get me a cup of coffee then?"

Cisco couldn't help but interrupt their conversation.

He thought that Jack was just teasing Caitlin, and as for her wish, Cisco knew it probably had something to do with her fiancé, Ronnie.

He didn't want this person to touch Caitlin's painful spot.

"Of course."

Jack glanced at him mysteriously and snapped his fingers.

"Hey, everyone, I brought you coffee, and there are egg tarts and pizza."

A voice came from the door, and then Iris came in with a cup of coffee, and Eddie came in with egg tarts and pizza.

"..."

Cisco glanced at Jack, swallowed hard, and dryly said,

"This... could be a coincidence!"

"Then, let's have one more."

Feeling the power of vibrations inside him, Jack signaled him to continue.

"..."

But this time, Cisco thought for a long time and didn't say anything.

At this point, Cisco probably thought that Jack could grant any wish based on what he had learned from Barry and what he had seen for himself.

Caitlin finally snapped out of it and looked at Iris, who was giving away the coffee. After a moment, she softly asked,

"Can any wish be granted?"

"Of course, any wish can be granted, but I need to make something clear first."

Jack solemnly said,

"As payment, I will take something you have as an exchange. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch, right?"

"Hmm?"

When hearing this, Caitlin hadn't reacted yet, but Cisco had already begun looking at himself from head to toe.

In the end, he realized that nothing was missing, which relieved him.

"I want to see Ronnie again."

Caitlin looked at Jack with determination and expectation as she expressed her wish.

Cisco's face showed an expression of "just as expected."

Ronnie's death had always bothered Caitlin and been a burden for him.

He believed he was partly to blame for Ronnie's death because he and Ronnie were the ones who went to shut down the particle accelerator.

However, even though Cisco was sure that Jack could grant wishes, he didn't really believe that bringing someone back from the dead could actually happen.

"No problem!"

Jack looked at Caitlin, who was filled with hope, with a complicated gaze.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers once again.

"Beep beep beep"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cisco's phone in his pocket started ringing.

He instinctively took it out and answered, but in the next second, he froze in place.

After a while, he finally regained his senses. The person on the other end of the phone seemed ready to hang up, so he hurriedly shouted,

"Wait, wait, Ronnie!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the call was disconnected.

"What?"

Caitlin looked at Cisco in shock, which seemed to prove that the phone call he had just received was real.

Cisco was confused as he put down the phone and looked at Caitlin.

"It's really... Ronnie."

"What did he say?"

"He said... don't come looking for him, just consider him dead."

Caitlin listened without saying anything, grabbed Cisco's phone, and left quickly.

Seeing this, Barry, who had witnessed everything, looked at Jack sharply.

"Do you want to bring back your mother? No problem!"

Jack didn't need to guess what he was thinking.

"But I have to remind you, this comes with a price."

"Barry, maybe you should think it over."

Iris had been eating pizza and watching the drama happen. When she heard the word "price," she jumped in instantly.

Whether it was true or not, bringing someone back from the dead always costs a lot.

"I don't care!"

The obsession with bringing back his mother made Barry lose his mind. He was unwilling to give up, even if there was only a glow of hope.

As for the price? He was willing to sacrifice everything for it.
