Ben 10 in the Arrowverse (Book 4)

Armageddon Part 3

Jefferson: Injustice? Damn... Look, Barry, those protocols are a one-way trip. A bad one.

Barry: I know that!

Jefferson: All right, all right. Just take a deep breath. Tell me what happened.

Barry: [Sighs] In the last 24 hours, I've lost my job, my home base. I've started having blackouts. I destroyed my apartment at superspeed. I attacked my team, my family. Jefferson, I attacked innocent people, dozens of them, and I don't remember doing it. I'm out of control!

Jefferson: Just take it easy Barry. In my experience, there's almost nothing that can't be undone, but I'm gonna need you to calm down for me.

Barry: Calm down? I'm losing my mind! Look, you know the contingency plan. The Injustice Protocols were put into place for a reason, to protect the world when one of us goes rogue. It's happening, Jefferson. You have to take away my powers.

Jefferson: [Sighs] We should call in the others.

Barry: We don't have time!

Jefferson: We do have time, Barry! Kara, J'onn, Sara... We all designed this plan together after Faust.

Barry: And we all made the same promise. If anyone ever lost control, a designated teammate would step in. For me, that's you.

Jefferson: And I don't carry that weight lightly. What if this is all temporary? What if your mind starts healing?

Barry: It's... it's not gonna heal. It's only gonna get worse.

Jefferson: But how can you say that for sure?

Barry:... I forgot Joe died. The man who raised me... he passed away six months ago, and I can't remember it at all. Look, I know you have questions, but I'm losing myself. You took an oath, if I ever said the word "injustice," you'd listen. Please. We have to do this now.

Jefferson: My father had a saying, one that I even teach my students today. "Where's the future? Right here." "Whose life is this? Mine." "What are you gonna do with it? Live it by any means necessary." So don't worry. I will honor my promise. I will do whatever is necessary to keep folks alive. But remember... when we take away your powers, they are gone permanently.

Barry: I know.

(Jefferson looks at Nora)

Jefferson: Is your daughter ok with this?

Barry: I don't know. She's dealing with a lot of pain.

Jefferson: She doesn't look injured.

Barry: Emotional pain. Not physical.

Jefferson: She's not taking Joe's death very well?

Barry: That and her boyfriend disappeared,

Jefferson: Her boyfriend?

Barry: Ben. Ben Tennyson. You've met him before. During their trip together, they went to Freeland, where they met your family. Do you remember?

Jefferson: I remember Nora coming over for a few days, but she didn't bring anyone with her.

Barry: So you don't remember him either.

Jefferson: Barry, what's going on? Suddenly you think Joe is dead and Nora's... boyfriend is gone?

Barry: I don't know what's going on. But this has to end before it gets worse. I need you to take my speed.

Jefferson: Barry-

Barry: Please, Jefferson!

Jefferson:... Ok. I'll do it.

Barry: Great. I'll set everything up.
