In Star Labs, Caitlin and Cisco began conducting a detailed examination of Barry Allen's body, while constantly looking at Eobard Thawne with complicated expressions.
Entanglement and hatred were clearly written on their faces.
Eobard Thawne, the true murderer of Harrison Wells, was also their mentor who had discovered and nurtured them.
This contradictory identity plunged the two scientists, who usually had simple interpersonal relationships, into deep confusion.
Dante preferred to call this situation "being lost in the moment."
It was precisely because it was so closely related to them that they couldn't quickly make a good or evil judgment about Eobard Thawne based on universal values.
But Dante was different.
What he cared about was how much trouble this guy had caused the FBI, or more accurately, The Legends, on the timeline.
Seeing Eobard Thawne begin to calm down, Dante carried him and the wheelchair into the adjacent equipment room.
Dante first disgustedly removed the gag created by the Will Green Light, then pushed Eobard Thawne deeper inside.
"Alright, shouldn't we talk about confessing and pleading guilty?"
Dante motioned for Harley Quinn to close the door, then looked at the disheveled Reverse-Flash with a fake smile.
"FBI agent Dante… I remember your name." Eobard Thawne sneered, "You'd better pray I never break free from your restraint. Otherwise, I will go back to your day of origin and erase you from this Universe!"
"Uh, are you serious?" Dante sat opposite him, looking troubled. "You don't think I'm one of those Superheroes who adhere to a no-kill policy, do you? Buddy, wake up, you're dead, you know that?"
Dante's last sentence made Eobard Thawne freeze.
"…Then why are you talking to me?"
"Nonsense, of course I have to squeeze every bit of value out of you." Dante's malicious nature was fully revealed. "If you confess everything you should, I might consider letting you die a quick death. Otherwise…"
After Dante finished speaking, in just one second, he displayed the power of his three-light transformation.
Then he watched Eobard Thawne's face instantly turn pale.
"You, you are that Green Lantern!?"
"The Green Lantern who is almost invincible at every point in time, in every possibility!?"
"So… your origin is this timeline! I was blind to think you were just a member of some Green Lantern Corps…"
Dante pouted.
Another person who had encountered the future him on the timeline.
And judging by Eobard Thawne's description, he had encountered him more than once.
It seemed no matter which possibility Dante went down, he was destined to be a formidable man.
He wondered if he would have the chance to meet these variants himself in the future.
"Stop talking nonsense." Dante cut off Eobard Thawne's frenzy, found an unopened digital camcorder in the equipment room, handed it to Harley Quinn, and said, "Alright, change your face back to Harrison Wells."
Eobard Thawne's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Finally, resignedly, he used the Reverse Speed Force to disguise himself as Harrison Wells again.
Harley giggled, turned on the camcorder, and aimed it at Eobard Thawne, who had completed his disguise and was sitting in the wheelchair.
"What do you want me to say?"
"Confess all your crimes, clear Henry Allen's name… In short, I believe with your intelligence, you know what to say."
Eobard Thawne fell into brief silence, then looked into the camera lens.
"How are you, Barry?"
"If you're watching this video, it means something didn't go as planned."
"I'm dead, and fifteen years of effort have all turned into empty talk, like a mirage."
"What a pity, a whole fifteen years."
"We are not true enemies, Barry."
"And I am not the one you should resent the most."
"I… just wanted to go home."
"But it's come to this, and I want to give you what you need most."
"It doesn't matter anymore, believe me, Barry Allen, you will never truly be happy."
"Alright, now cut the previous footage and give the following statement to CCPD…"
"My name is Harrison Wells."
"Of sound body and mind."
"I voluntarily confess that on the evening of March eighteenth, fifteen years ago, I murdered Nora Allen."
"In her home, I attacked Nora Allen, stabbing her in the chest with a kitchen knife found in the left drawer of the kitchen sink."
"Then I cleared all traces of myself from the scene and framed Nora Allen's husband, Henry Allen."
"I reiterate, all of this is voluntary."
After Eobard Thawne completed this series of improvisations, Dante couldn't help but applaud.
"That was so smooth and without any trace of acting. Honestly, you wouldn't have imagined this scene before, would you?"
Reverse-Flash stared with Harrison Wells's face and said with a bitter smile,
"You might not believe it, but I've already recorded several confession videos… They were products of hesitation and anxiety."
Dante pouted.
That sounds nice.
But when you were killing, you didn't seem to hesitate at all.
"Harley, give this video to Barry Allen and them. Clearing his father's name is something he should do himself."
Harley didn't say anything inappropriate. After all, as Barry Allen's doctor, she arguably understood his emotional knot better than anyone, aside from himself.
Instead, she carried the camcorder out of the equipment room and walked over to Barry Allen.
At this time, Caitlin and Cisco were at the table testing Barry Allen's reaction speed.
Although his body had been transformed by the Speed Force, Barry Allen had not yet mastered how to actively use it.
Harley Quinn walked directly to their side and placed the digital camcorder on the table.
She exported the video to the computer.
"Take a look, Barry."
Barry Allen looked at Harley Quinn with a questioning gaze, only to find that she had changed from her usual crazy, cynical expression, with only seriousness in her brows.
He then opened the video on the computer.
The next moment, all three people, except Harley Quinn, froze.
It was Caitlin, the most mature and steady, who reacted first.
"Oh my god!"
"He confessed!"
Barry Allen, prompted by Caitlin, finally smiled.
"Doctor Quinzell, this is the evidence to release my father!"
After speaking, he was about to call CCPD.
Harley Quinn pressed Barry Allen back into his chair.
"Your current task is to adjust well in this lab and figure out what happened to you."
"As for other matters, the FBI will handle them."
After speaking, she took out her personal terminal and dialed a number.
"Hello, Old Man!"
"The true murderer of my son's mother has been caught!"
