Capítulo 5: Ch - 5 Triple Helix Genome?
"Those are some pretty logical points, and we apologize for getting irritated. But you should also try to understand that we are trying our best to help you while figuring out what happened to you," Eobard said in a calming voice, sensing the tension in the room.
"I also apologize for taking my frustration out on you. Thanks for helping me. Even though I'm not sure what is happening, I will cooperate with you in any way I can. So go ahead, Ms. Snow, you can take my blood," Swayam said, seizing the opportunity to calmly communicate with the trio.
This time, unexpectedly, when Caitlin extracted Swayam's blood, it didn't disintegrate like it had before. Cisco, noticing this, became immediately curious. Previously, all attempts to extract Swayam's blood had failed. He began to wonder what had changed. His mind raced through possibilities—maybe it was because Swayam had been unconscious before, and his body had been in some sort of protective mode. Or, perhaps, the blood couldn't be extracted without his conscious consent. Now that Swayam had given his permission, it worked.
While Cisco was pondering, Caitlin, who had placed the blood sample under the microscope, suddenly gasped, causing everyone to turn toward her.
'This is incredible,' Caitlin thought to herself, as she observed Swayam's DNA. What she saw was unlike anything she had ever encountered.
In a typical drop of blood, there would be millions of cells, each containing the familiar double-helix DNA structure. But Swayam's blood was different. His cells had a triple helix structure, glowing with a faint golden hue. This molecular structure was tightly bound, but Caitlin could see that the bonds were slowly degrading—likely explaining why his blood had evaporated in previous attempts to extract it.
After a few moments of stunned observation, Caitlin passed the microscope to Harrison Wells. He too examined it, his face showing a rare expression of genuine amazement before looking over at Swayam.
Feeling uncomfortable under their stares, Swayam asked, "What is it, Dr. Wells? Why are you looking at me like that? Is something wrong with my blood?"
Eobard, who had remained silent, finally spoke. "I've seen many things in my life, but I've never seen anything like your blood." Sensing that Swayam was about to ask more questions, he quickly added, "But don't worry—nothing is wrong with you. Your DNA is simply… new, otherworldly, even. It's possible that the particle accelerator explosion, combined with the dark matter it unleashed, somehow altered your physique."
While Wells was explaining their newfound discoveries, Cisco was busy reviewing the security footage from the night of the particle accelerator explosion. He focused on the location where Swayam had been found unconscious. His eyes widened as he slowed down the footage to one-hundredth of the normal speed, but the result remained the same: Swayam had appeared out of thin air.
"Dr. Wells, you should see this," Cisco said, handing over his laptop to Harrison Wells.
While Cisco thought Swayam had just materialized out of nowhere, Eobard Thawne—being a speedster—saw it differently. His mind, already recovering from exposure to Barry Allen's Speed Force, recognized the telltale sign of multicolored lightning: a spark opening a portal that spanned across space, time, and dimensions.
Though unsure how it had happened, Eobard knew Swayam's sudden appearance was no coincidence. His arrival just before the particle accelerator explosion was deliberately orchestrated. Eobard also noticed that several forces, including his own Negative Speed Force, had likely played a role in Swayam's dimensional breach.
'But for what exact purpose?' he thought, as his surroundings slowed to a crawl in his perspective, thanks to a brief tap into the Negative Speed Force.
After a long pause of contemplation, Eobard deactivated his connection to the Negative Speed Force, allowing time to return to its normal flow.
He assumed his use of the Speed Force went unnoticed, but Swayam, whose powers were still active, had sensed it. He had kept his ability constantly active as a precaution against Eobard, aware of who Wells really was. Yet, if Thawne decided to harm him, all Swayam could do was sense everything around him in real-time.
When Eobard deactivated his power, Swayam followed suit and waited, knowing that Eobard would eventually ask a critical question. And he did not disappoint.
"Before we go any further, Swayam," Eobard began, his voice measured, "do you know what today's date is?"
Feigning deep thought, Swayam responded, "How would I know? Ms. Snow and Mr. Ramon said I was in a coma for a month. If I had to guess, the date should be May 23, 2024."
His confident response left Caitlin and Cisco puzzled, but not Eobard. He knew instantly—there had been a temporal breach, a rupture in the fabric of space and time. Swayam had crossed over, and his appearance was not just a freak accident but a piece of a much larger, more dangerous puzzle.
