Samuel came before the motionless Sam Scudder, curved his finger, aimed it at his forehead, and flicked it gently. His head slowly tilted back at an infinitely slowed speed.
Withdrew the Still Force, speed returned to normal.
"Thump!"
Sam Scudder was hit as if by a heavy blow, as if struck and sent flying by a rapidly galloping wild horse, instantly flying backward and crashing back into the mirror.
Inside the mirror, Sam Scudder's figure appeared, covering his forehead in pain and crying, while also staring at Samuel cautiously as if he had seen a ghost.
The mirror surface surged, and Sam Scudder cautiously walked out.
"I know you, you're Samuel, you—you have superpowers too?" Sam Scudder said with a frown, "We shouldn't have any grudges. I just want to find Snart. Can I, can I leave now?"
Samuel smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid not."
Sam Scudder recalled Samuel's inexplicable method of sending him back into the mirror, and asked from his heart, "What do you want?"
"I want your ability."
"You, what do you mean?" Sam Scudder was instantly shocked, and the corner of his eye quickly glanced towards the nearby window, ready to run at any moment.
Samuel slowly raised his hand, and a mass of dark Shadow energy instantly covered all the windows, glass, and anything that could reflect the surface around them.
Sam Scudder's expression was incredibly ugly. He didn't understand why Samuel seemed to know his ability like the back of his hand, even though he had been trapped in the mirror all along.
Samuel raised his hand again. This time, he opened a portal leading to the Secret House Villa's vault.
Stacks of U.S. dollars eerily flew out from the portal, neatly piled up in front of the incredulous Sam Scudder, and in the blink of an eye, they had already accumulated like a small mountain.
Closing the portal, Samuel unknowingly came to Sam Scudder's side, reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and said, "If you are willing to give up your ability, this money will be yours."
Sam Scudder looked greedily at the 'mountain of gold' before him, and asked hesitantly, "Can I refuse?"
"Hehe."
Understood, he couldn't!
Sam Scudder didn't want to give up his ability. He wanted to use it to seek revenge on Snart (Captain Cold), and even more, he wanted to use it to get more money.
But the prerequisite for all of this was that he could leave here alive!
"You have two choices."
"One, sleep underground forever with your ability; Two, lose your ability and become a rich man who enjoys life!"
Sam Scudder said with grief and indignation, "Do I have a choice?"
Samuel chuckled faintly, "You should be glad you can still choose between life and death. Believe me, not everyone has this opportunity."
"I can work for you!" Sam Scudder said, struggling internally, "Whatever you want to use my ability for, I can do it for you."
"Exactly the opposite!"
Samuel shook his head, looked at him, and said, "The reason I want your ability is precisely because I don't want you to be able to do what I want to do."
Sam Scudder didn't understand, but he knew that he could only choose one of the two options!
His retreat had been blocked by Samuel's strange black energy. As for resisting? How could he, unable to use his ability, defeat Samuel, who possessed several strange abilities?
Resisting was just seeking death!
"I, I give up my ability—" Sam Scudder stated his choice.
"Buzz!"
A strange gust of wind blew, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace!
"Go enjoy your new life!" Samuel patted Sam Scudder's shoulder, withdrew the Shadow energy with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and disappeared with a whoosh.
Wishing: Sam Scudder's wish was to give up his ability, Samuel fulfilled it for him, and at the same time took away his memories related to himself.
The reason for insisting on taking away his ability was very simple: since he wanted to use this ability to build a mirror prison, he couldn't let outsiders have the ability to freely enter and exit the prison!
Moreover, Samuel also needed a warden who could manage the mirror prison.
Sam Scudder was definitely untrustworthy, so he could only take away his ability and find a suitable and trustworthy person later to bestow this ability upon them.
Secret House Villa.
Samuel told the Outsider Squad about the concept of the Mirror Prison and designed and built the 'Mirrors' based on the functions and glass material of the Star Labs pipeline prison.
For convenience, Samuel planned to make the Mirror Prison into a book, using the book format as a framework, with several mirrors placed on each page, and each mirror being a cell.
Of course, if a book made of normal-sized mirrors were used, it would require a huge amount of space and flipping through the pages would be inconvenient.
But he had the Pym Particles palm cannon! He could usually shrink the book-shaped Mirror Prison and carry it with him, which was not only convenient but also safer!
Jailbreak?
Prison break?
Absolutely impossible!
Samuel handed over the task of building the Mirror Prison to Queen Bee. With her ability, plus Ballistic, or Dr. Eliza Harmon, who would be arranged to come over later, there should be no problem.
Unconsciously, it was already evening.
Samuel took out his phone, preparing to contact Thea to ask about their situation. If he remembered correctly, in the original plot, the metahuman criminal they were chasing was initially named Prism by Cisco and later called Rainbow Raider by Caitlin.
This guy used his ability to affect Barry, causing Barry and Oliver to fight.
Uh, Oliver seemed to have been beaten quite badly by an angry, half-blackened Barry. In the end, Oliver controlled Barry and exposed him to the corresponding light to dispel the influence of the Rainbow Raider's ability.
Now with an extra Thea, it's hard to say how the situation will turn out, but head-on, even if Thea had been injected with the Super Soldier Serum by him, she probably couldn't handle Barry.
Unless she won by experience.
After a few rings, the call connected.
"Did You call right on time? We just locked up the Rainbow Raider," Thea's slightly tired voice came from the phone.
Samuel said with a smile, "Done? Let Me guess, Barry fell for it?"
Thea hummed and complained, "I'm starting to miss Starling City."
Although Starling City was chaotic, it was basically full of ordinary people. But Central City — whether it was the Rainbow Raider or Flash Barry, it was a completely different way of fighting.
Even though Thea had been injected with the Super Soldier Serum and couldn't be considered completely ordinary, she still had some difficulty adapting to the metahuman battles in Central City.
"When are You planning to return to Starling City?" Samuel asked with a smile.
Thea said, "That depends on whether You're asking Me or us. If it's us, we should be back soon. If it's Me — that depends on whether You have time tonight."
Samuel understood and smiled.
"I'll send You the address."
