Kausar Mohammed: Dr. Meena Dhawan

Quotes 

• Dr. Meena Dhawan : I can run at the speed of sound, but you...

  The Flash : Can run a lot faster than that. Look, the point is, you can't outrun me. So why don't you just tell me who you are and what's really going on?

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : Look, I'm not a supervillain. That fire was an accident.

  The Flash : I know. But you risked people's lives to steal a battery.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : And I'm so sorry about that. I'm not a natural speedster like you.

  The Flash : That's why you've been so hard to trace. Your speed's temporary.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : Exactly. You see, my... associate and I found a way to generate my own speed source. I'm still trying to work out the kinks, so the effects only last a few minutes. I thought the battery could help extend the window, and I figured why sped another four years calibrating sodium nitrate cells when I could just borrow the only one I'd already made? I designed the original Newton Battery when I was a young engineer working here at IVO.

  The Flash : The Newton Battery was invented by Meena Dhawan.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : [unmasks herself]  It's Dr. Meena Dhawan, actually.

  The Flash : You-you're the CEO of Fast Track Labs. Your book, "Quantum Gravity and the Universe", I've-I've read it three times. You're a genius.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : That's surprising and very flattering. Unfortunately, this genius intellect hasn't been any help in mastering these new abilities. That's why I've been trying to take a low profile, running trials with my team. The truth is... I just want to use my gifts to help people.

  The Flash : Well, I'm glad to hear that. I-when I first got my speed, I... I had a mentor, someone to coach me on how to use my powers, so if you're interested.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : You'd really do that for me?

  [they shake hands] 

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : Thank you. I promise you won't regret this.
