When Fury received the call, his head was spinning.
"What the heck?"
"Your son?!"
"You and Dante got someone pregnant?!"
After half a day of trying to dissuade her, he finally understood the full story after Harley Quinn's explanation.
So it was about Barry Allen from Coulson's Team!
"Well, why didn't you just say so clearly! I thought you guys were going to ask me to approve maternity leave."
Even Harley Quinn, with her half-crazy, half-neurotic brain, was shocked by Fury.
"Old man! With all this time you're spending overthinking, let Professor X check your brain!"
"Quickly notify the local prosecutor in Central City!"
"I'll send you the evidence via my personal terminal shortly!"
After speaking, she disconnected the call.
Fury showed no signs of anger after being verbally attacked by his own daughter. If Dante had seen it, he would have definitely cursed Fury for being a hypocrite!
But Fury wasn't immersed in the long-awaited father-daughter interaction.
He had also looked into Barry Allen's situation.
The biggest reason he was recruited into the FBI was because he was a close eyewitness to a supernatural event.
As for him being a forensic expert, that was just an unexpected bonus.
Subsequently, he contacted Internal Affairs through internal communication.
Before long, two old acquaintances from Internal Affairs, Max and Caroline, arrived together at Fury's office.
"Oh, you two came at just the right time."
Fury said, sharing the confession video Harley Quinn had sent to their personal terminals.
"Director Fury, what do you need us to do?" Caroline said somewhat obsequiously. "Please try not to make it a very troublesome task. Today, the Chinese supermarket downstairs from our apartment building has discounted eggs, and I absolutely don't want to miss them."
Meanwhile, Max casually opened the shared confession video…
"Wow, although this guy looks a bit old, he's definitely a handsome old man… Okay, this is a murderer confessing in a video, that's a bit of a turn-off instantly."
After a moment of commentary, Max still couldn't resist.
"Uh, before he goes to jail, he should still be able to stay outside for a while, right? Director Fury, do you have his contact information? Social media accounts work too."
Fury looked at these two oddities and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
When did the FBI turn into this kind of comedian-style circus?
In his memory, the General Bureau used to be a cold, merciless law enforcement machine, didn't it?
It seems… ever since Dante was seconded here on his first day, the entire FBI's style had been led astray!
"Caroline, is buying discounted eggs really more important than a mission?"
"Uh, pretty much, maybe slightly more important."
Caroline gestured timidly with her hands, but Fury seemed to see the entire Universe in those two almost unseparated fingertips.
"…Now, go to the FBI cafeteria and request a ton of eggs, store them in the cafeteria, and take them as needed."
Then, he looked at Max.
"I remember that within the FBI, Internal Affairs organizes social events every month, right… Are you so hungry that you won't even let criminals off the hook?"
"Oh, the social events side has already blacklisted me."
Max ran a hand through her wavy hair, "I have to admit, I've been a bit too thirsty lately."
"Stop! I don't want to know anything about my subordinates' private lives!" Fury felt like he had aged ten years upon encountering these two oddities. He waved his hand, "Go to Central City, find the local prosecutor to re-examine Henry Allen's case, and then submit the video evidence."
"No problem, Director Fury, mission accomplished, guaranteed."
With that, she pulled Caroline and prepared to leave Fury's office.
Max, in a certain sense, was still very reliable.
As long as one could tolerate her overly free-spirited personality.
…
Dante and Harley Quinn had Barry Allen temporarily stay at Star Labs.
He would probably discover his Speed Force soon.
Staying directly at Star Labs would help him understand his abilities.
And all control over Star Labs had already been handed over to Caitlin.
"As for Eobard Thawne, we will temporarily detain him."
Dante nodded to everyone. "After all, we'll need him to appear in court as a suspect."
After speaking, he opened a portal and casually pushed the wheelchair through.
Then he took Harley Quinn's hand and passed through the portal, disappearing from the spot.
"Wow, this is really cooler than any sci-fi movie."
Cisco scratched his chin. "Why do I feel, in a way, that I might be able to do something like this too?"
"Agent Dante's abilities are just that outrageous."
Barry Allen sat at the table, eating the food Caitlin had bought for him. "Teleportation magic is his least remarkable ability."
As he spoke, he rubbed his stomach.
Was his appetite really this big now?
He had already eaten three servings of food, but had only barely suppressed the hunger in his stomach.
Barry Allen didn't know yet that, due to the existence of the Speed Force, from now on, he would become a much bigger eater than Hulk.
…
"Woah woah woah, let me see who this is?"
"Isn't this the famous Reverse-Flash, Eobard Thawne?"
"What's wrong, paralyzed? Why are you in a wheelchair?"
"Bloody hell, you bastard have finally fallen into our hands."
After Eobard Thawne was pushed through the portal, he arrived at the Waverider.
After a brief silence, The Legends' group taunt followed.
Dante's mouth twitched.
From the resentment on their faces, it was clear that Eobard Thawne had indeed caused them a lot of trouble on the timeline.
Even Fongji Wu, who was relatively the most stable-tempered, was clenching her Iron Fists, making cracking sounds.
He guessed that if he weren't still there, Fongji Wu would have already subjected Eobard Thawne to Iron Fist retribution.
"Alright, I know you all have a lot of resentment towards the Reverse Speed Force user, but we can't kill him yet. Let's keep him locked up on the Waverider for now."
"Uh, Teacher, are you serious?" Sarah Lance's eyes widened. "You're locking an Extreme Speedster on the Waverider?"
"Anyway, he's now completely restrained by my Black Magic and Chaos Magic. No part of him can move except his head."
Only then did everyone swarm forward. After a round of physical "testing," they found that Dante's words were true.
Only then did Jefferson push the wheelchair and send Eobard Thawne into the Waverider's prison cell.
And this time, besides detaining Eobard Thawne, Dante had another matter.
"Gideon."
As soon as the words fell, the Waverider's artificial intelligence displayed a 3D projected human face before him.
"Creator welcome."
"Gideon, I have a gift for you."
Dante finished speaking and connected a palm-sized storage device to the Waverider.
"Teacher, what… what is this?"
"Inside this… is also Gideon."
