Kapitel 62: Ch - 62 2 V 1?
When Felicity heard Harrison Wells mention needing Oliver Queen's help, she was shocked to realize that Wells had deduced the Arrow's true identity. It wasn't just her; Cisco and Caitlin were equally astonished to learn that the infamous billionaire playboy, Oliver Queen, was the man behind the Arrow's hood.
But with time running short, they didn't dwell on it. Felicity quickly dialed Oliver's number, no longer hiding the fact that Oliver was the Arrow.
While she was on the phone with him, Cisco, who had access to the city's street cameras, picked up Barry on a traffic camera downtown. They watched in alarm as Barry yanked Eddie, Joe's partner and Iris's boyfriend, and threw him onto the street.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and the streets were empty. Otherwise, Eddie might have been run over.
Before anyone at S.T.A.R. Labs could react, Swayam had already left the lab, rushing to the place where Barry had lost control.
By the time Swayam, in his Shadow superhero suit, reached the downtown street, Oliver had just arrived as well. They exchanged a brief nod before Oliver fired a binding arrow at Barry, successfully tying him up. However, Oliver had underestimated Barry's speed. Though bound, Barry still used his legs to drag Oliver along with him at superspeed.
While Barry was distracted with Oliver, Swayam appeared near Eddie and Iris, instructing them to find a safe place to hide. Without waiting for their questions, he vanished back into the shadows and headed toward where Barry had dragged Oliver.
As Swayam approached, a blast echoed through the air. He saw Barry, face down in the street, just starting to rise.
Barry stood, his eyes glowing with rage, only to see Swayam approaching towards him and not noticing Oliver preparing for another move from behind him. His anger surged again. But before he could act, Oliver, anticipating Barry's aggression, shot two arrows loaded with horse tranquilizers into Barry's back.
To their surprise, Barry, in his fury, vibrated his body at such high speed that he dispersed the tranquilizer before it could take effect.
Barry was now acting like a rampaging force of nature, completely focused on Oliver, who had triggered his anger, ignoring Swayam altogether. Swayam seized the moment and tackled Barry, drawing his attention.

The once quiet streets of Central City were now filled with tension. Barry, stood up, orange-red lightning crackling around him. His eyes, filled with uncontrolled rage, glared at Oliver and Swayam, his fists clenched and ready to strike.
Oliver stood several feet away, his gaze intense under his hood. Swayam, muscles tense and ready, stood by his side.
"We don't have much time," Oliver muttered, his voice low. "Harrison Wells better know what he's doing."
Swayam nodded, eyes glowing faintly as he focused on Barry. "Barry's not thinking straight. He's running on rage alone. We just need to keep him occupied until they arrive with the lights."
Oliver, who had been enhanced by the Mirakuru serum, was far stronger and more resilient than a regular man. Still, he knew brute strength wouldn't be enough against Barry's speed. He'd need to rely on strategy and precision.
"Stay on him," Oliver instructed, readying his bow. "We can't let him outmaneuver us."
Before Swayam could respond, Barry blurred forward. He reappeared in front of Oliver in an instant, fist swinging toward his face. But Oliver was ready, dodging the blow at the last moment. He countered with a kick, but Barry vanished again in a flash of lightning before it could connect.
Swayam tracked Barry's movements with heightened perception. He stepped in front of Oliver just as Barry reappeared, deflecting Barry's rapid punches with ease. The impact was intense, but Swayam's enhanced physique absorbed it without issue.
"Barry!" Swayam growled, gripping his friend's fist. "Snap out of it!"
Barry snarled, pulling his arm back and unleashing a flurry of super-speed punches. Swayam's eyes flashed as he blocked and deflected each strike, keeping pace with Barry's increasing speed.
Oliver saw his chance and dashed forward. Using his enhanced strength, he swept Barry's legs, causing him to stumble. Swayam seized the opportunity and landed a heavy punch to Barry's midsection, sending him flying several yards.
But Barry wasn't down for long. With a growl, he shot up again, disappearing in a blur. Oliver cursed, glancing at Swayam. "He's too fast for a direct fight."
Swayam nodded. "We need to outsmart him. If I can predict where he'll—"
Before he could finish, Barry reappeared behind them, landing a brutal punch to Oliver's back. Oliver was sent crashing into a car, but his enhanced physique kept him conscious. He rolled to his feet, pushing through the pain.
Barry turned his attention back to Swayam and launched another attack. Swayam responded with a mix of Aikido and Krav Maga, deflecting and redirecting Barry's strikes. Every punch Barry threw was countered with precision.
Seeing an opening, Oliver drew an EMP arrow from his quiver. He aimed carefully, waiting for the perfect moment. As Barry lunged at Swayam, Oliver fired. The arrow struck Barry in the chest, sending a jolt through his body. The orange-red lightning flickered, and Barry slowed to normal speed.
Swayam didn't waste the opportunity. He stepped in, delivering a hard elbow to Barry's jaw, followed by a sweeping kick that knocked him off his feet. As Barry hit the ground, Oliver rushed over and pinned him down.
"Barry!" Oliver shouted. "This isn't you!"
Barry's wild eyes flickered with brief recognition, but the rage wasn't gone. He struggled against Oliver's grip, but Oliver held firm.
Suddenly, Harrison Wells and Joe arrived in a modified van from S.T.A.R. Labs. They activated a series of multicolored lights, bathing the scene in calming hues of red, yellow, blue, green, and purple.
Slowly, the tension in Barry's body began to dissipate. His breathing steadied, and the red glow in his eyes faded as his anger ebbed away. The wild rage that had consumed him was gone, replaced by confusion and guilt.
Oliver released his grip, taking a deep breath. "Back to normal, Barry?"
Barry, remembering everything he had done and said in his anger, felt deep shame. But Oliver and Swayam placed reassuring hands on his shoulders, to ease Barry's guilt, silently assuring him that everything would be okay.
