Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard

Chapter 562: Government

Edward walked into the room where the team was waiting, including Kid Flash or Wally West, who had recovered his power a while back. He smiled and asked politely, "I'm assuming you've made a decision?"

No one answered him for a while before Barry said, "What exactly will you do as our supervisor?"

"We will first begin by taking data on your abilities: the ins and outs, lows and highs — we need to know the extent of your abilities— your limitations."

"For what?" asked Barry.

"Isn't it obvious?" chimed in Iris. "To deal with you in the future."

"Once again, you're seeing this in a negative light," calmly explained Edward. "We are just preparing contingencies in case something goes wrong. By then, we will have ways to neutralize the individuals involved without causing too much chaos."

"You have a way with words; you should write novels like me," sneered Harrison Wells. This version from Earth 19 was a writer instead of a scientist, so Edward reduced his threat level. Regardless, he was still being closely watched.

"What exactly do you mean by something going wrong?" asked Caitlin.

"The worst case scenario is that Barry becomes evil and uses his powers for nefarious means."

"Barry would never do that," immediately defended Cisco.

"He has saved countless lives—he's a true hero," added Iris.

"I am not attacking his character," continued Edward. "We are just preparing for many possibilities."

"But it seems like you were," countered Joe. "How many times has Barry risked his life to save this city? To save the world? Where was the government then? Now, you walked in here accusing him of turning evil."

"Calm down," said Edward calmly yet authoritatively. He looked at the team and said, "All of you seem to have ignored the events of Flash Point." The room immediately became quiet.

"In a moment of grief, he made a selfish decision to go back in time and save his mother; his actions altered reality as we know it."

"I have learned from my mistakes," argued Barry. "I know the consequences of messing with time and would never do it again."

"Really?" said Edward as he looked him in the eyes. "Tell me you would not make the same choice if you watched everyone in this room die — look me in the eyes and tell me you would not be tempted."

"I would never let anything happen to them."

"You didn't answer my question," Edward snapped back, so Barry moved his eyes away.

"Do any of you know the repercussions of Flash Point? Do you think his actions only affected Central City or the people close to him? No, lives across the globe were affected. Government entities worldwide created special units to deal with the aftermath of Flash Point, recording what was different from the previous timeline."

"How is that possible?"

"No, nothing. Cisco, what about you?"

"I found something, but—"

"But what?"

"It didn't seem like they wanted to hide that they were going to monitor us," he replied; finding the hidden code in their system was too easy, and he did not believe these people were so incompetent.

"Let's talk in a more secure place," said Barry, and Cisco immediately opened a portal to Earth 19.

...

"What are they doing?" asked Edward, not moving his eyes an inch from the screens before him.

"As expected, they don't trust us," replied Morgana.

"That's to be expected," he replied casually. Today, he gathered significant data on Barry's connection to the force and the Speed Force itself. Now, he was confident in creating a clone capable of running fast enough to enter the Speed Force itself.

"We have a problem," suddenly said Morgana.

"What is it?" He finally moved his head away from the screen.

"The Tracking Spell we placed on Barry is gone after he entered the Speed Force."

Edward frowned, "Tell me exactly what happened?"

"I was receiving data but only briefly before something wiped it out."

Edward grunted, "What about the others?"

"We still have eyes on them."

"Did Wally also enter the Speed Force?"

"No, he's just waiting."

"Keep an eye on him and tell me if something changes."

Time was running out, so he immediately began his work. He created a new clone and sent it to the Speed Force to help him gather data. However, a few seconds later, something happened, and the clone died.

He summoned the recording from the latter's soul without hesitation right before its death.
