Barry lay back against the pillows, feeling the weight of his new reality settling in. As he began to relax, he heard a faint ding sound in his head, like a notification alert. It startled him, making him sit up slightly. He looked around, but the room was silent, save for the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor.

"What was that?" Barry muttered to himself, furrowing his brow.

As if in response to his question, a translucent screen appeared in front of his eyes, filled with text and icons. It looked like something out of a video game or a futuristic sci-fi movie. Barry blinked, trying to focus on the words:

Barry's eyes widened as he read the list. He could feel a strange energy buzzing within him, a new power ready to be unleashed. He had seen Barry Allen use some of these abilities on television, but to experience them firsthand was overwhelming. Additionally, the mention of Deadpool's abilities intrigued him. Rapid healing? Enhanced reflexes? This could be invaluable.

"What is this?" he whispered, half in awe, half in disbelief.

"Barry, are you okay?" Iris's voice broke through his thoughts, pulling him back to the present.

He quickly blinked, and the screen vanished. "Uh, yeah. Just… feeling a bit strange."

Dr. Wells, still observing from his wheelchair, nodded thoughtfully. "It's to be expected. Your body has been through a tremendous ordeal."

Barry forced a smile, trying to hide the sudden influx of information and the strange screen he had seen. "I'm just tired, I guess."

Iris gently squeezed his hand again. "Get some rest, Barry. We'll be right here."

As Iris and Dr. Wells continued to talk quietly, Barry closed his eyes, focusing inward. He could still feel the strange energy within him, the perks granted by the entity. He decided to test one of the simpler abilities.

Concentrating, he focused on his hand, willing it to move faster. To his astonishment, his hand began to vibrate at an incredible speed, a faint blur. He quickly stopped, glancing at Iris and Wells to see if they had noticed. Fortunately, they were engrossed in their conversation.

Barry let out a slow breath, amazed by the newfound control. He felt a mixture of excitement and responsibility. The entity had given him these gifts for a reason, and he intended to use them wisely.

As he settled back, preparing to rest, the faint ding sound echoed in his head again. This time, a smaller message appeared:

---

**Objective: Embrace Your Destiny**

**- Learn to control your abilities.

- Protect Central City.**

---

Barry's heart skipped a beat at the simplicity yet magnitude of the objectives. He looked at Dr. Wells, who was now wheeling himself towards the door, his expression unreadable.

Determined to uncover the mysteries of his new life, Barry vowed to train his abilities and find out why he had been brought to this world. He closed his eyes, letting the soothing darkness take over as he drifted into sleep, ready to face whatever challenges awaited him.

The journey ahead would be difficult, but he was no longer just a man struck by lightning. He was Barry Allen, The Flash, reborn with the power to change the world.
