Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 401 Cisco Loses the Right to Name His Nickname
After confirming repeatedly that Shawna could not directly jump to the scene through the surveillance video, the group had no choice but to let Shawna take the binoculars and set off on her own.

"Why didn't you prepare a better pair of binoculars for her?" Caitlin reminded her. "Her field of vision is her fighting ability."

“I forgot.” Cisco laughed awkwardly. “I’ve been so busy these past few days, I’m dizzy. After finishing those two guns, I didn’t even have much time left to deal with Ronnie.”

When Ronnie was mentioned, Caitlin couldn't help but bite her lip with worry.

"Ronnie."

“Don’t worry.” Cisco quickly corrected himself after realizing he had misspoke, “We will find him. I used Felicity’s script to perform facial matching and recognition within the camera coverage area of ​​the entire city center. If he reappears, we will definitely be able to locate him.”

Caitlin nodded, barely suppressing her worries.

While the group was talking, Xiao Na, holding binoculars, had already begun moving at high speed through the city center. She didn't need any other means of transportation; the binoculars were her only means of transport. The figure in the leather jacket appeared on the rooftop of a building in an instant, then suddenly vanished as a wisp of smoke. At first, the height of the building rooftop made Xiao Na a little afraid of heights, but after only a dozen or so movements, she had already gotten used to this special way of traveling and became quite adept at it.

“Shauna’s location tracking is getting really fast.” Cisco noticed the location jump speed on the screen at this point: “My God, she can cover several blocks in almost two seconds, and her average speed over long distances is even faster than Barry’s.”

“It’s only temporarily possible to surpass it,” Wells corrected. “If Barry’s speed increases to exceed the speed of light in the future, then Shawna will be completely suppressed in terms of movement speed and reaction speed.”

"However, it's clear from the current situation that Miss Shauna is very familiar with her abilities," Wells praised. "This type of ability is not easy to control precisely, and in terms of its application, she has developed it to this extent on her own, which shows great talent."

“She’ll be there soon.” Caitlin stared intently at the screen. “Sisco, shall we switch to the bank scene?”

“No problem.” Cisco’s fingers flew across the keyboard. “We were lucky. Roy didn’t shoot down the bank’s security cameras—maybe he knew that doing nothing was the best disguise.”

“The Rainbow Thief,” Caitlin suddenly added.

Cisco turned to Caitlin: "What did you just say?"

“I said Rainbow Thief,” Caitlin said. “Roy’s nickname, RGB, just doesn’t feel cool enough.”

“Hey, giving nicknames is my job, okay?” Cisco said irritably. “You’ve already given Shauna the nickname ‘Hide and Seek,’ so it’s my turn now—I’m going to call this person ‘Prism.’”

Don't you think the nickname "Prism" sounds a bit feminine?

"But it's cool."

"I vote for Rainbow Thief."

Barry, who had been watching the screen intently, suddenly added a comment.

"Barry, you?!"

“I’m sorry, Cisco, but the Rainbow Thief does sound like a good fit for Roy’s abilities, and I feel like the Doctor would agree.”

Cisco immediately turned to look at Wells.

"Stop fooling around." Wells adjusted his glasses. "Focus on the mission. We can argue about nicknames later."

Caitlin instantly translated: "The Doctor abstained."

Cisco was crestfallen; he had lost the right to name a nickname by a single vote. "Hey, can you hear me? I'm in position. It sounds a bit loud in that bank right now."

Xiao Na's voice brought them back to reality. She was standing on the street outside the bank, secretly observing the situation inside with binoculars.

At this moment, the bank was in complete chaos. Citizens who came to withdraw money were fighting with bank employees, and the bank vault door was wide open. Next to them, a manager and a man in a suit and leather suitcase were also fighting.

It was obvious that Roy's thinking was quite clear. He must have scouted the bank beforehand, knowing that the bank's security measures were mainly on the heavy vault door, and he activated his ability when someone came to withdraw money.

To make matters worse, Shauna saw what appeared to be someone raising a gun inside the bank.

Having frequented bars for years, and with the Rainbow Thief having recently honed his skills in several bars, Shauna was already somewhat unfazed by large-scale brawls. However, when she saw the gun, a feeling of fear instinctively welled up inside her.

She wasn't unfamiliar with people pulling out guns in bars, nor was she unfamiliar with people being shot, but she always kept her distance and did a good job of avoiding such situations. She knew that people who were killed would die—or rather, that was common sense.

That's why I'm afraid.

If I stand in front of the gun, I will be hit.

This was the first thought that flashed through her mind, and it was this thought that made her hesitate for half a second.

"Shauna! Hurry!"

As Cisco's urgent voice rang out, Shawna's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

bang!

She instantly appeared behind the woman with the gun, reached out and stabbed her hard with the stun gun. A powerful electric current immediately surged through the woman's body, but the trigger of the pistol was still pulled.

The second after the bullet left the barrel, a man clutched his stomach and collapsed into a pool of blood. Fortunately, the electric current interfered with the woman's movements. She had originally aimed the gun at the man's head, but the muscle spasms caused by the electric current caused the bullet to be aimed at his abdomen.

She was a step too late. Xiao Na thought to herself, she didn't know who this man was, nor did she know what he was doing at the bank today. In fact, normally, she wouldn't have paid attention to such an ordinary passerby, who was a dime a dozen.

They are not uncommon in the city center, working day after day, leading mundane lives. They may have their own lives and little worlds, but from a macro perspective, they are all much the same, just ordinary people filling the numbers in the world.

But at this moment, Shauna felt a pang of guilt, because the man was right in front of her, clutching his stomach and lying in a pool of blood.

She could have saved this person, but she couldn't.

If I hadn't been afraid for that half second, if I had immediately raised the gunman's muzzle after teleporting, and if it were the Flash, would he have stood in front of the gun?

No, no, Xiao Na shook her head violently. There's no reason for me to block a gun for a stranger. I've already done my best to save him.

It's not my fault.

But a voice inside her told her that those so-called heroes wouldn't think that way, because she remembered what Cisco had said.

"So far, The Flash has faced quite a few super-powered criminals. But he has almost never won his first encounter with one when he was unprepared, and that's how many times his life has been in danger."
