A few days later, i did sort out everything related to the company, now my company. i gave it a new name - World technology, which sounds good, if slightly defiant. Of course, I wanted to give some creepy name to match my nickname, but I refrained. I think it will go like this, one day we will develop the most advanced technologies, so this name fits perfectly. The most difficult thing will be to recruit a team, those who will manage the company. You will need to make deals with other businesses and so on, this can be a problem, especially for me, since I do not really understand this. You need to find a smart person, and to rule from behind the scenes, of course, now you will have to do everything yourself. We also need to find skilled people like Hartley. If I could find geniuses like Palmer it would be even better...
When I was done with all this, I could finally rest and drink. But at that moment the doorbell rang...
* Ding!*
Hmm, back at last...
hartley opened the door and stood in front of me, carrying a backpack and a large bag.
- Let me in?-
I stepped away from the door and let him in.
- I'm done with your sword, here.- After handing me the bag, the guy took off his backpack and went further into the house. I didn't hesitate and immediately opened it. In the bag was a large black case, somewhat similar to those in which the military kept their weapons. When i opened it, i immediately saw what i expected... Blade, straight shape, gradually decreasing from the strong part to the weak. The garda was Quite large, but It was just Right for me. The sword was slightly dark, the same color as the suit. the handle was big, but my gloves were just the thing. he looked quite decent, i immediately liked it... if you used it without armor, the sword might seem a little big, but it went quite well with it.
*Vswh* *Vswh* *Vsuch*
Swinging it a few times, I accidentally cut the shelf, but I didn't even feel it. the sharpness is amazing... If I had it in Nanda Parbat, I would have crushed the entire league without any problems.
putting the blade back, i headed for the kitchen, where my guest was already in full charge.
- Did you get anything wrong?- This is actually my home.
The guy froze, his fork halfway to his mouth:
- Uh, sorry, it's just that I haven't been able to eat properly for two days.-
- Why is that? I thought I gave you some money.-
Hartley started eating again and said:
- Well, I had some fun, and then I got bored, so I decided to finish with the sword. But you weren't there, so I had to get the resources myself, so I robbed Star Labs. They had a lot of things they needed, even a couple of my designs. Later I found out about Wells... Anyway, things didn't go according to plan, the bastards were able to track me down, so I had to lay low.-
I sighed:
- I see, you didn't go there for tools, did you? You want revenge on Wells again?-
Hartley put down his glass and smiled wryly:
- Looks like it won't work now, the bastard's gone somewhere.-
I chuckled:
- Sure, he's not just missing, he's dead.-
*Ding*
Hartley dropped his fork and stared at me in amazement:
- How... How is that?-
- I'll tell you now- I poured him and myself a drink and began a long and tedious story. It was necessary because I was planning to recruit a guy. If he wasn't aware of everything, it would be a problem. So the story of the visitor from the future and Wells ' death had to be retold first.
Already fairly drunk and having listened to my story to the end, the guy sighed:
- Damn, I've been led by the nose all this time. What nonsense... What am I supposed to do now? My career as a scientist is ruined, this freak did a great job. I can't even get revenge now...-
I grinned:
- Don't worry about revenge, I assure you, Thawne will die, it's only a matter of time. Don't worry about the job either, you already have it.-
- What do you mean? You mean working for you?-
I nodded:
- That's right, we know enough about each other. Although our acquaintance was a little strange, but this does not mean that we will not be able to work together. Thanks to my power, I am capable of many things, but what you can do, I am not given. Of course I can start learning this, but it will take too much time, which I don't have. I created a company - "World technology", it will specialize in the development of advanced technologies. I could use an engineer with your skills.-
Hartley swirled the bourbon in his glass and said:
- Well, the name is not bad, but will it be able to justify it? Although I don't have much choice, it's still better than wasting time.... okay, i'm in business, but i'm counting on a good salary, as well as the opportunity to create my own projects. Even if they are slightly dangerous.-
I nodded:
- It's a deal.-
Hartley shook hands, drank, and stood up:
- Okay, I'll go. Since I have a personal lab now, I should prepare something.-
When the guy left, I decided to do business and work with the documents, but I was interrupted by an alarm... Going to the computer, I immediately understood the reason and quickly put on a suit. Thawne crawled out of the hole and released Blackout, now the problems caused by me can begin. In the canon, Thawne freed Peekaboo, but now it's something worse. The girl was then able to knock out Iris, but I doubt that it will work with a Blackout. If any of them died, it would be unpleasant, and they would still be useful, even to the useless Iris.
*Urin* *Vign* *vign*
a few teleportations and i got to star labs. i could already hear the rasp of electricity and feel the energy swings. the guy just got out, knocked out cisco and west, and now he's chasing caitlin and iris. It was lucky that he was a little weak due to his long imprisonment, but that wouldn't stop him from killing them, so he should hurry up...
*Urin* *Urin*
A few more moves and i found myself in a spacious hall.
- Thinking of running away? I can feel you...- * Bang*
The guy noticed me, but it was too late. A good blow to the back of the head knocked him out quickly. Even if it's electric, it still seems to work with it. Although I think it's just that he's too weak. Now he is more like an ordinary person than ever, even electricity does not emit, it is somehow strange...
I looked at the two girls huddled together and grinned:
- Relax, it's not time to die yet.-
- You...- Iris tried to say, but I cut her off:
- Yes, yes, i'm too lazy to talk, lock him up until he wakes up.- Then I listened and added: - Don't forget about Eddie, he's in the accelerator, sounds like he's in trouble.-
Right after that, I left. The body of the Blackout, it was nothing to me, but to pick something up, I didn't mind...
