Did you suddenly find yourself in Maurtia Falls 2025 where there was something resembling a not horror filled future?

[...Okay, he can't really blame them for thinking he was angry. Sequestering himself and keeping at a distance is his usual habit when anger gets the better of him, unless he truly wants to act on his impulses. Then it turns violent, fast.]

No. I was locked up in a brainwashing facility.
They put us through multiple sessions, trying to make us love the government.
I'm positive it was in this world's past. Perhaps somewhere around thirty years.
Our powers were dampened there. First time my body's reacted to drugs in years.

[And his body practically shut down for longer than most because of that.]

[ It's probably not a good idea for Barry to take about five minutes to even respond to this and yet it definitely does take him a good five minutes ( closer to ten really ) before he actually responds. Eobard Thawne being drugged is around the same idea of him being drugged. It's something that shouldn't happen. ]

You were locked in a brainwashing facility in the 1980s that made you want to love the government.

The same government that right now wants to use us and our powers against Russia. And they dampened powers so you could learn to love the government with brainwashing. I miss when that was just in old spy movies. Are you okay? Because of the...drugs.

[ Questions Barry Allen never thought he'd ask Eobard "Mr. I Hate You" Thawne. ]

[hsalf]

I'm fine.

[He wasn't fine. However, he's not going to make himself look vulnerable. They may be on neutral terms right now, but Barry is still his enemy.]

It was just a strange hallucination. One moment I was here and it was the morning, the next I'm at that facility, and then I wake up and a whole day was gone. I even got emails from the university asking why I didn't come in.

It felt very real though and I want to know what happened to cause it all.
