Analysis

Joe said, "This requires an explanation from you. Just make sure she doesn't find out about your other identity. What we need more now is to deal with this meta-human."

"We first need to find him. It seems that the six men who robbed the gun store earlier were all him."

"I'll go back to the police station and check out his friends and family."

"Barry, come with me, you need to explain to Iris."

Joe bid everyone farewell, took Barry, and left STAR Labs.

"I'll study Black's blood sample."

"I'll set up the satellite to see which gun stores trigger an alarm. He might think he doesn't have enough guns."

"I'm going to talk to Black's boss. Maybe I'll find something."

Caitlin, Cisco, and Wells spoke in turn, planning to keep busy with their tasks.

Elon, having finished his last piece of Leonidas chocolate, said, "I'll go prepare my dinner."

"Sweet and sour pork loin..."

"Three Delicacies Fried Vermicelli..."

"Potato stewed beef..."

Several voices simultaneously named their favorite dishes.

Elon refused, "Rejected, I'm the chef in my kitchen."

"Oh... NO..."

The three wailed as they watched Elon leave mercilessly.

That night, Elon made braised pig's feet. They stared in shock as Elon gnawed on the pig's feet, as if he was eating something disgusting.

Because Americans never eat pig's head, pig's feet, fish head, chicken feet, and other animal organs, believing they are unclean.

Elon expressed his speechlessness, then you watch me eat, it's delicious...

The next day, after Elon finished his usual exercise and practiced his abilities, he moved the Flash Battle Bike into the garage workshop, where Cisco made it. The place was equipped with various tools to help him handle any issue.

Since the Flash Battle Bike was already given to Elon by Cisco, Elon had to maintain and repair it in the future.

Cisco also kindly reminded Elon to get a driver's license.

So today, Elon needs to go to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) to apply for an M1 driver's license. Elon was also shocked by the strictness of the American system in this regard. Any vehicle exceeding 15 miles per hour requires a driver's license. This speed is even surpassed by bicycles.

So before he got his driver's license, the Flash Battle Bike had to be temporarily parked.

Yesterday's test drive gave him a good experience of its capabilities and flaws, and he planned to modify the wheel adhesion and braking system.

Before he could start modifying, Cisco called Elon and told him to come for a meeting to deal with the meta-human.

Elon was the last to arrive at the control room hall.

Joe, Barry, Wells, Caitlin, and Cisco were all present.

Cisco clapped his hands and announced, "OK, let's talk about the meta-human, Danton Black."

Elon praised, "That's a good name, full of technological sense."

Cisco also agreed with Elon's compliment, "I think so too."

Everyone had no objections. The name was very normal.

Cisco continued, "Danton Black is a clinical researcher at Stagg Industries, a geneticist."

Barry asked, "A geneticist? How did he become a meta-human? When I fought him, he could replicate himself, surrounding and beating me."

Caitlin continued, "Danton Black specializes in therapeutic cloning, to create new organs to replace old, necrotic ones. It's clear that he was experimenting on himself, and the dark matter wave from the particle accelerator explosion just happened to affect him, causing him to become a multiplex."

Barry said, "Then why did this guy rob a ceremony? Wouldn't it be better to choose a bank? With such power, he could rob a lot of money."

Joe said, "It's not necessarily for money. I've checked his social connections, he doesn't know many people. His wife, Elizabeth, suffered from coronary artery degeneration. She was on the transplant list for seven years and didn't get a suitable heart, dying five months ago. Also, Black was fired two months before his wife's death and even sued his boss, Stagg. Stagg was at the ceremony he targeted. He left early, and not long after, Black appeared, robbing the surrounding people."

Wells pondered and said, "Joe, are you saying that Danton Black robbed the event as a diversion, and his real target might be Stagg?"

Wells calling Joe by his name caught Elon's attention. In America, you only address someone by their first name when you're close. 

"Wells, have you dispelled Joe's suspicions about you?"

Only then did Elon observe Barry and found that Barry was acting normally in front of Wells. At least, the unnatural expression was gone.

Nice move, no wonder he's a speedster. It only took a few days to resolve the security risk.

No one knew Elon was spacing out. He silently took out a bag of Cadbury chocolate from his pocket and started eating.

Wells continued, "I visited Stagg last night, and he claimed that significant progress in organ cloning only happened in the past year, which is why he won the Lijing Choice Award. However, I don't believe him. You should know that Stagg's reputation isn't good among us researchers. There are even rumors that he stole research from his employees."

The Lijing Choice Award is a medical award that represents progress and is awarded annually to the researcher who made the most progress in medicine. This year's award was undoubtedly for Stagg's cell cloning, which made a significant breakthrough for future organ replacements, potentially saving countless human lives. Hence, the award was well deserved.

The award was deserved, but the person wasn't.

Of course, Elon knew the plot, and Stagg had indeed stolen Danton Black's research results.

Joe picked up on Wells's topic, "You're right, Stagg even has about twenty pending lawsuits."

Cisco interrupted their conversation to summarize the analysis, "So you're saying, Stagg stole Danton Black's results, which may have led to the death of Danton Black's wife. Therefore, Danton Black turned into a multiplex to kill Stagg?"

Joe nodded, pointing at Cisco and saying, "Very likely, we're just guessing. So we need to go find his parents and friends to learn more about him."

Barry said, "OK, how do we defeat him then? He can duplicate himself, the more we fight him, the more there will be. This guy can even flood you with his duplicates."

Everyone was silent, all eyes turned to Elon.

Elon bit into a piece of Cadbury chocolate. The chocolate was good. Milky, with a smooth texture, filling his mouth with the sweet aroma of milk mixed with chocolate.

He asked, "Is this guy afraid of electricity?"

Caitlin answered, "Even if he can replicate himself, it would be based on the resistance of the original body, so I think he should be."

"Then I'll shock him to death."
