end of the video [Music] with the force barrier damaged in the revelation of strength force and the stage force berries sought the help of the only people who would have insight on other forces the multiversal flashes but as he stands in the House of Heroes none of the flashes before him know anything other than the Speed Force no one knows what the sage force strength force and still force our Barry sighs stating thanks anyway that's good to see all of you but I'm gonna go back to my lab and try to figure this out one flash says that it's not always about science you know and another asks did you ever go in a force quest Barry stops asking what flash says he can't go on believing something as powerful as the Speed Force is all about him you should go out there and explore learn a little bit Barry tells them uh thanks I'll think about it do you need me know where to find me and back in the current day central city trickster sits in a room with detective burns and Morrow stating that if Wolfe finds out about this he's dead Morrow asks why do you think we're hiding you up here why are you so jittery trickster Dan says that he's not sure about this he's not feeling too good maybe they should get him to a nurse or something burns tells him look she knows how small and powerless Wolfe made him feel but they can help and Morrow tells them to just relax the judge will be here any minute and they can drop him back off at iron Heights wolf will never know just that a male and a female para angel shout that they hope trickster isn't afraid of heights burns and Morrow grab their guns and get firing but the para angels shield themselves with their metal wings shouting they heard that trickster was talking too much the male pulls tricks you're out of the window and then trickster shouts asking do you know who's in central city tricksters fake arm falls off and the male says the flash Maher on the streets but we run the skies below Barry runs up the side of a building jumping off of it stating that his mother always told him that he had his head in the clouds he Springs off the building punching into the male para angel and the two began struggling for control the woman calls out that if he really wants him all he has to do is catch him she then lets go of trickster and Barry lands on a nearby building it because running and leaping off catching trickster asking what is this all about trickster trickster tells it it's a top secret and shouldn't you be more worried about that perils getting some air a voice tells him that he wouldn't worry about the air it's all about getting chilly commander cold flies by pointing his cold gun at the pair of angels and fires freezing the mid-flight Barry shouts you've got to be kidding me and then if he goes to run to the edge to create a whirlwind to catch the para angels and safely put them back on the roof Barry yells you could have Oldham and Cole tells him that it was a nano ice blast they would have defrosted when I hit the switch but while the two of them are distracted trickster uses his air walking shoes to run down into the alleyway and as he gets on the ground he stumbles stating I still feel weird and the fan of pain in my arm I haven't felt that in years just that the ground begins to tear apart and trickster can feel himself being pulled down he tries to grab on to something screaming for help but as whatever-it-is pulls him down his cries go unheard a short while later back on the rooftops Barry runs up to commander Cole telling him great your action caused us to lose trickster cold tells him look I figured since I'm stuck here I might as well lend a hand times are changing Barry tells them no this is my city things don't change in Central City you can look for the forces all you want but stay out of my way later that night back at home Barry goes through tricksters file stating that there's got to be a place that he would always return to just need to keep commander cold away iris tells him that she knows that him being stuck here is his fault right maybe he should just work with the time-displaced commander cold they don't want him to become a villain again Barry asks are you worried is there anything that you remember from before about the new forces iris thinks about it and says that she's not sure if her memories are a bit weird some things fade in and out while others are stronger but Irish remembers the other timeline in which they got married and very asks like what and Irish trails off stating something else just then Barry's phone goes off and he Barry says that it's cold he thinks he's found trickster he runs out of the house but then runs back giving hours to kiss and then back out again as it reaches the location that cold sent him cold says that he surprised he actually came any lectures planned Mary tells him no he actually came to listen to him cold laughs telling him well my scans show the trickster went missing right around this spot end but before he could finish the ground rumbles as a hand punches up breaking apart the pavement a figure begins to crawl out and a voice asks what's happening I feel whoa Cole tells him I think we may have just found the strength force and Barry asks if the giant hulking monster is trickster he punches Barry into the ground and then he grips the gravel arm telling everyone central city saw me as a joke but now we're all good I pay for laughing at me a few minutes pass and as commander Cole gets back up he says it he hasn't been hit that hard since gorilla ghost sucker-punched him in front of the houses secrets Barry helps him out stating you might have a concussion and cold brushes them off telling I'm a fine and I don't like the idea of moving at SuperSpeed in the hospital besides we have bigger things to worry about that a few bumps and bruises back when I was an agent at the temporal quartz trickster never turned into this the to look at the hole in the ground and Barry asks was the trickster buried alive Cole tells him well the Speed Force struck you from above maybe the strength force comes from below scans show that the forest is still in flux after you and Wally broke the forest barrier you turned central city into a petri dish for these new forces it's probably trying to find a proper host meanwhile downtown trickster smashes another police car shouting drinks to ratchet the house Barry and cold speed through the city following tricksters destruction but while Iris goes to the library to try and find out more about the other forces there's a loud crashing noise she looks back to see the flash thrown through the window as Barry hits the bookshelves he sees iris and asks where's the science section he gets up goes back to the window and iris says my keen investigation skills tell me that trickster found the strength force before you did didney trickster then yells I gotta be like the strongest guy in the world right I gotta be commander cool runs up with his gun trying to freeze tricks are telling him it's time for you to chill out but trickster grabs him telling him I thought you were snart but starch doesn't make puns flash runs down punching into trickster and trickster laughs telling him negative the massage bro and then he grabs him - as trickster begins to squeeze down on the flash because to vibrate out of his grip and he shouts we're here to help you trickster looks at his hands stating what I'll bro you treated that hurt he grabs a car to throw but before he can T falls to his knees shouting something's wrong bro Cole tells him it looks like the vibrational frequency must have thrown his body's connection to the strength force off we need to take him out while we can Barry tells him no he's just a kid can't you use any of that fancy future tech to see what's going wrong commander Cole begins to scan tricks are telling him the strength force is surging aside of him the power is too much for his body it's breaking down under his own weight if we're gonna help out this criminal we're gonna need to find a place that can contain him trickster struggles and says I know a safe place bro a short while later over at iron Heights Kristen looks through tricksters file state and that all of wolfs personal files on him have been deleted did you wolf know that he was going to report him just then wolf asks Kristen what she's doing and she tells him she uh the flash totally screwed things up she wanted to find clues that can help them could be possible - the flash is the one hiding trickster and wolf says I doubt it why would the flash ever dare work with but that's what he stopped by a guard yelling they got him it's the trickster and the flash brought him in as flash and cold walked through the doors of the prism of trickster trickster whispers to Barry no matter what you can't leave me alone with Wolf bro wolf blocks out stating that it looks like someone's on the juice and why is smart here Barry runs up stating I need commander Cole's help for running tests on trickster and trickster isn't leaving my sight wolf then asks why exactly when I allow you to observe what am I kiddin mate so what's in it for me Barry asks what do you want and wolf smiles later inside of a containment tube the flash asks them are you happy now and wolf tells him it's like Christmas morning I wanted to test my new anti speedster cells on an expert you're surrounded by a special glass that gives off a harmonic frequencies so chaotic that if you try to vibrate through it it will skin you down to the bone as commander cold begins to work on the computer wolf asks where exactly are you from where is home Cole tells him don't worry no one knows who you are where I'm from Colton calls out alright trickster a giant punching bag is coming in I'm giving you three guesses what I need you to do with it the bag goes into the cell and as he punches it cold looks at the computer stating hold his strength is off the charts he's getting heavier the strength force must be based around gravity in the force of motion his mass is increasing and creating his own gravitational field but it's unstable the Speed Force bonded with the flash but it's not doing that with the trickster best guess it's rejecting him it's gonna kill him or it's going to explode the flash asks wait it's not permanent that means we can still help him we just need to find a way to transfer that energy to Cole tells him is this guy really worth the risk he might be better suited being put down Kristen tells him no the flash is white just then the computer beeps and cold says oh no it's do or die time the strike force is jerks topic is to scream out in his cell as his muscles begin to expand and Colt says I'm sorry we're running out of options here Barry because the beat on the anti Speed Force cell shouting let me out and the ground begins to rip apart underneath the trickster but it also ends up pulling Barry Allen into it after a flash of light Barry leans up looking at his body as has now grown to the size of tricksters because he's now inhabiting the strength force the trickster tackles in DeBary shouting you lied bro you just wanted to steal the spotlight the flash tries to tell them that's not it and while the two of them struggle Colt says I'm sorry there's only one way we're gonna stop the strength force and that's my killing the both of you cold fires a shot off narrowly missing Barry's chest and then cold calls out that he saw the readings the strength force is too dangerous especially now that you're infected Barry shouts that trickster doesn't deserve to die because of his past mistakes he's just a kid hearing that trickster yells oh not good he charges at Barry pinning him to the wall but as they do wolf tells cold that this is his chance kill him pull the trigger trickster turns back and Barry says there's still time to save the trickster and then he punches the ground throwing everyone off their balance he steps back looking at his fists hitting whoa this must be a Superman feels cold gets back up stating whatever you're thinking I can't let you do it and Barry tells him white tricksters weigh increased the stronger he was getting because of the manipulation of the gravitational field around him but when I vibrated so Barry begins to vibrate in place and he slowly reduces his own size while retaining the strength Barry says see it can be controlled all the strength force needs is an outlet and we can do the same for trickster cold sighs stating I really hate science elsewhere in the prison wolf gets back up and trickster finds him telling him you may have been the big bad wolf but you won't ever blow me down again bro I stretch - smashes the ground next - wolf Barry runs in tackling him out into the sea the to punch back and forth but without his full size Barry is knocked back into the prison they both go back and forth fighting for power and as they clash the flash asks what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object just then an explosion goes off in the center of the prison and Barry gets up in his original form asking weird a trickster go trickster calls out holding up the entire building over here you got me pretty good my bodacious body's going bye-bye do me a favor get my friends out of here before the house comes down Barry tells him no we could think of a way trickster but trickster shouts you keep saying you want to help that helped by saving my friends the only family I got please flash as Barry's just to run around getting everyone out trickster struggles to keep the weight of the building from falling as his body is slowly reverting back to its normal form once the final rogue is out of the prison berry runs back trying to grab trickster the debris falls crushing them because they've removed the rocks calling out the trickster what he finds is the gravel arm broken off as the Sun comes up commander cold scans the prison stayed in that central city has become the epicenter for the new forces and it's playing havoc with his scanners and iron Heights is free of the strength force if it found a new host he or she is going to be out there in the world air he asks and what about the trickster and cold tells him nothing I tapped into some satellites over Central City but I didn't pick up a traces of them also we didn't find a body buried and shouts had enough of this all of this stuff happened because of what you did commander cold this isn't the 21st century your ways are not gonna fly here cold asks are you calling me reckless I'm stuck in the Stone Age because you and Wally wanted to race all I want to do is go back home and see if the people that I love are still alive my very presence here means the future has already changed the world that I love is gone I can never go back flash you're gonna need to get over yourself and get ready for what's about to come cold speeds off on his hover bike and iris asks she thought that they were supposed to be working together Barry looks back asking what are you doing here and iris says covered a story flash faut trickster and Wolf's cars and there's a man dressed like captain Colt what even is his real name we know he's in the future but commander cold would be a weird real name Barry brushes her off stator than he needs to get back to work and he'd rather not talk about any of this iris grabs I'm stating yeah but I do and Barry tells her oh yeah what about you then let's talk about what you're hiding you're not the only one in this relationship who can pick up on clues I know you're not telling me something from your past life why what he's so bad that you would hide it from me iris iris thinks back to the wedding memories that she had and says that is nothing Barry heads back into the prison stating fine don't tell me I'll see you at home when I get off of work meanwhile elsewhere trickster looks around and finds himself in an abandoned building covered in dust he asks where I am I I thought I is this some kind of trick shadowy hand reaches out staining it ain't your time just yet if you would just let the pair of angels bring you here from the start we could have up awaited all of this but it's okay it's all about the long con you know come on let James Jessie land you a hand pun intended there's a loud boom in Central City as a giant fists of solomon grundy punches into Barry Allen knocking him to the ground as the flash sister he thinks how Halloween is one of irises favorite holiday sand instead of spending time with her he's fighting a zombie with the Justice League dark he gets back up but he starts to lay into Solomon with Solomon grabbing him and the flash thinking that he might have to come up with a different plan to bring him down Grundy pulls back and as he swings the flash because to vibrate at a particular frequency that I was in the past through Grundy's fistin Oh pieces of Grundy fly all around and wonder woman says that she's surprised she never took him for one to deal a lethal blow like that flash shrugs it off telling her that Grundy will be fine he'll be back to his old gray self before you know it right now I got a head out meet up with Iris and the others I'll catch you all later flash changes out of his costume as he runs to the bar to meet up with Iris burns and Morrow and as he walks in Amaro laughs stating shoot I thought you'd be at least an hour late since you're only 15 minutes late I guess I'll be picking up the first round huh Barry laughs as he heads to the bar stating fine fine another round for my friends for the water for me please the bartender asks to be sure that he doesn't want a cold one if anyone needs to loosen up it's you Barry Allen commander cold smiles as he leans in the back of the bar Barry asks what is he doing here Cole tells me that since he's stuck in this primitive era he's got to make money somehow he doesn't have very many options burns gets up to help Barry with the drinks and asks who's his friend behind the counter Barry says that he's not a friend just a suspects in an old case I had meanwhile over at iron Heights heat wave because they head back to his cell when the doctor tells him that he may want to try meditation it might help with his he wave stops him telling him none of that New Age stuff works for me not really my style Mara master laughs asking whether was it if he's seeing this heatwave is talking about his feelings it's truly the end of the rogues he wave doesn't shut it it'll be the end for you but as he passes warden Wolf Wolf asks how was his visit today he waves scoffs telling him nothing for you to stress over you glorified security guard wolf says that if he continues with that kind of a tone he'll learn that there's no way out of iron Heights and heat wave says oh yeah tell that to James Jessie and Wolf snaps asking how do you know about just that an explosion goes off in heat waves cell and he screams as he's being burned alive back at the bar and the others sit and laugh but as Barry looks towards the bathroom he sees a red blur he gets up and he says that he thinks he saw someone and iris asks if it's someone from his old Trek team Superman once told Barry that he and Lois had a code word for when there was danger and one of them needed to go and what iris was asking was Barry's version of it Barry heads to the bathroom but he doesn't see anything and just then it have formed Wally West beats on the mirror on the other side asking why did you let them take me Barry jumps back yelling no I'm not falling for mirror masters games I'm not sure how you found me but I'm coming Wally breaks through the glass shouting you left me Barry and Barry shields himself as he looks up and sees nothing he walks out and Christin says there he is Singh just called and said that something happened at iron Heights all hands on deck kind of a situation so Barry hugs iris and tells her goodbye as everyone leaves iris goes to the bar and tells cold that they need to talk about the new forces still saij strength back at iron Heights heatwave lays in the ICU as Kristin looks over he waits paperwork state and that Mick has always been a pyromaniac this is hardly the first time that he's been burnt but this one might kill him the scans show that his synapses are exploding his body has been experimented on a few times over the years we just need to figure out why he just spontaneously combusted this time as heatwave nods in and out of consciousness he begins to see the world change he finds himself walking through a burnt-out city it looks around asking the hell was this and a large fire spirit appears before him telling him no there's nothing left to burn fire is about pain it cleanses it heals the fire gives life over at the bar iris shits with coal telling him that these new forces seem familiar but she's finding it rather odd that there's no mention of it in the future Cole sits back state and the time travels funny like that but instead of looking into the future you might want to look into the past what else do you remember before the flashpoint iris tells him bits and pieces but just then her phone rings and she tells Cole to hang on to Barry she answers since she asks what's up at Barry says that he isn't finished yet but he was wondering if she could ask that bartender but before he could finish there's a scream as three fire demons charged throughout the prison Barry says that he's got to go and iris tells cold that he's gonna need help cold says that he doesn't dig orders from but IRA shouts at him just Oh back at the prison berry changes into his constant pull people away from the demons and as the flash grabs of Wolf Wolf yells I don't need help from you the flash tells him watch they aren't going after you anyway and Wolf then says who then the flash says giant fire demons arrive at iron Heights right after one of your resident fire starters is hurt take a wild guess he races to where heat wave is being kept that he finds burns there and he tells her that she needs to get out of here just then heat waves eyes begin to glow blue and the flash tackles birds to the ground shouting get down and a second later heat wave explodes again both the flash and burns get up and they see the fire this time took out everything burns asks where is everyone and as the flash kneels down at a pile of charred bones he says that these bodies there's something off about the way the fire spread a fire that could do that these flames are not normal the voice then tells them that's because normal is boring and I'll never be normal again this is my world flash here heat wave is God as he waited tax the flash grabs bird and runs her outside so that he can try and fight back against the giant heat wave the fire spirit from before tells heatwave not to bother with the flash he knows what needs to be done if he truly loves her if he loves fire he'll burn it all heat wave tells her yes my love and a second later iron Heights explodes the flash runs outside asking burns if she's okay and she tells him that she's thankful for the saber the next time he wants to pick her up ask first he wave starts to make his way to Central City and as the flash watches her and asks aren't you gonna go after him and flash tells her no because this is all wrong he waves obsessed with fire not killing those charred bones they don't match up with what the evidence would look like we're still in iron Heights but not the real iron Heights Burns asks what is that supposed to mean and the flash says that he believes that they are lost in he waves mind back in the real world the flash and burns lay knocked out next to heat waves bed as the fire demons are getting closer wolf shouts to his men to keep firing but as the demons reach out for heat wave their subtly encased in ice wolf looks back stating you and Commander Cole tells him my buddy heatstroke is gonna be so a hellish that there are fire monsters here wolf asks what the hell are you doing here and Cole tells him you're welcome by the way wolf looks back and says we'll go for what this is the second time this month of my prison has been destroyed and you in the flash is somehow involved why is that commander cold but when Wolfe turns back he finds cold the flash burns and heatwave are gone back inside heat waves mind the flash goes through the remains of iron Heights and burns says that heat waves never had an ability like telepathy before right the flash tells her no this is the sage force recently central city was the epicenter for a series of new forces that were unleashed into the world the first one was a strength force and that hit trickster turned him into a giant brute this one clearly hit heatwave and says okay then why is she here she has no connection to these forces the flash tells her that he may have an idea but he's going to need to carry her so she sighs he begins to cross water he explains a back when he ran too fast he got pulled into the Speed Force itself to escape he had to focus on his lightning rod something from his life that keeps him grounded he believes that for them to get out of there they need to find heat ways lightning rod when they stop Burton says that she never told anyone this but before she came to Central City her family was from Gotham her parents are part of the Falcone family making drugs that was until their lab blew up and they died in a massive fire that was part of the reason she became a cop flash says that he's sorry he didn't know Burns asks why would he it's not like we're friends the flash goes on stating that heat wave must have pulled them in for a reason the sage force must have read her mind and saw that they had similar paths but just as he finishes is a lot of room as part of the building they're in breaks the flash starts clearing a path stated that something doesn't want them connecting to heatwave that must be why you're here back at the Flash's apartment in the real world iris knocks in the door telling Colt that she knows that he's in there he cracks the door opened saying hi password iris pushes her way in stating that she doesn't have time for that she needs to know what happened at iron Heights the things that her contacts have told that they were insane iris looks down to see flash burns and heat wave all hooked up to colds future-tech and cold says Barry did say to make myself at home back inside heat waves mind the flash leads birds out of the smoke and his burns looks around she asks where are they this looks like the suburbs outside of the city the flash looks back is that he knows exactly where they are this unscathed house is heat waves lightning rod heat waves childhood home burns asks why would he wave have brought them there and the flash tells her that he didn't as heatwave appears up then the flash shouts to him you couldn't find your lightning rod because you're too afraid why heat way because they revert to his normal phone saying that he knew flash wouldn't let him down when he was young he hoped that when he grew up he would be like his dad but back when he saw his first flame he knew he was born obsessed the flash tells him that that isn't true he might not be able to go back to the way things were but he can always move and heatwave says forward he would begins to change back stating I could never change what I am NOT today not tomorrow all that's ahead of me is a nightmare I couldn't face it before so now I will burn it all he waves blast whips through the building and flash runs in saving he waves younger self stating that if he can just get then there's another explosion back in the real world heat waves body begins convulsing and iris asks what happens to the flash and burns if they're not disconnected from the sage force cold looks at the scanner stating that it's way worse than just that if heat wave has another flare-up like he did at iron Heights he's gonna destroy all a central city inside he waves mind the flash continues to run and he runs right into a wall of fire bouncing off of it he looks around as he's dozens a path with no clear way to go the flash tries to vibrate through the fire but as he burns his hands burns tells him it's no use heat waves maze is endless the flash starts running through the maze State and that he will search every path until he can find an exit and Byrne says that it's only a waste of time he waved and calls out just like him they're trapped trapped in a life he didn't want this maze makes them feel the way that he did the day his parents died the fire spirit whispers to heatwave burn them my love they are all that stands between you and me finally being together as one the flash yells don't listen to her you've been infected by the sage force it's given your sickness of voice and all it wants to do is pull you deeper into your mind heatwave yells no you're lying I'm don't want to control here this is my world this is where I am God over in the real world cold begins heading heatwave with his cold gun stay and that it can't keep it up forever at this age force keeps accelerating thanks to Barry Speed Force then any minute he waves going to go nuclear if we don't act fast the city is doomed iris runs over to the computer static okay the sage force feeds on empathy right wait how did I know that these new forces ever since hunter zolomon tricked arey and Wally into unleashing them they felt so familiar an image then flashes before irises eyes as she's working at a station stating she remembers them in her past life before the flashpoint she studied the new forces she knows what needs to be done hurry put this on inside of heatwaves mind Burns calls out that they just want to help but he wave tells her no the sage forces help me in ways that know what else has he begins throwing fireballs at the ground and a voice tells him then ain't you buddy heatwave looks over asking captain colt captain cold hits him with a cold gun stating no one and only now why don't you chill out for a moment he way breaks you from the ice shouting you aren't the real snart he's locked up in Belle Reve cold asks is that right then how would I know about the job we tried to pull him a droplet a few years ago back before the Rogues but it was just us and Superman swooped in to put the fire out with his Fury's breath heat wave stops asking you laughed the whole time when we were being carried to higher heights Cole tells him yeah you used to help me find an outlet for my passion but really we helped each other helps me get over obsessing over my past and how my dad treated me he wave starts to shrink stating the urge he'll never leave me and Cole says maybe but the mick I know would never look the fire-control him he wait blinks it sees himself in his old costume and he asks is this my gun and Cole tells him yeah remember you were the one in control of the fire you don't need that overgrown matchstick Dame to boss you around it's time to go home buddy as everyone walks towards the light the fire spirit screams how dare you if you won't love me you will burn but as the spirit attacks the flash runs in the way deflecting the blast the spirit asks why would he risk his life for a monster like heatwave the flash tells because he knows the pain that he way feels how hard it is to just let go of the past and then moving forward sometimes hurts the spirit gets ready for another attack and the flash runs circles around her breaking her apart she screams in pain and everyone wakes up back in Barry's apartment shirred a while later the flash brings heatwave and burns back to iron Heights and as heat waves bandages fall off he looks at himself asking where did my scars go as Barry and Commander cold leave the prison Barry stops and tells him you know I may have been wrong about you you did a good job back there cold steps off as Hoverbike telling him call me Henry and Barry says wait that's my father's name and Cole tells him yeah I know later outside the city mariya looks on taking it all in when there's a low rumbling sound making its way towards him iris gets off her motorbike asking what's going on and Barry says that Cole told him that she knows how to deal with the sage force iris tells me she didn't want to lie or hide things Sherman but she's unsure the things that she remembers and was afraid that they weren't real that's why she's been so hard on him hanging up on the past the past is gone it's unfair to try and live with it always on our minds you need to talk to the flashes of the 52 world's again about what's going on with a force quest Barry tells it that he already has you should have listened to them from the start ever since while he left he's felt directionless iris then asks if he's going to finally accept that he can't go backwards what's stopping him from going on this quest Barry says it's because of her she laughs and Perry says what I'm serious I can't live without you she kisses Amit tells him that he's a lovable well-meaning dummy don't you get it coming with you meanwhile over at earth 18 home of flash Johnny Thunder Johnnie holds his ground as a tornado comes his way stating that this might be his last stand but they could bet their behind that he's gonna go down shooting the way to start to dismantle his guns in a voice that asks would it Barry want with the flashes of the 52 worlds Johnny says that he needed to go in his force question johnny starts to get pummeled and the voice says finally the time has come Barry Allen runs in the right direction towards me hunter zolomon the truth slash as iris walks through the busy market getting some food she tells the flash that it's been years since she's been here but she's never forgotten how good this place smells he's got to try some of this weight come on you promised you wouldn't do this on this trip meanwhile running through the crowded street flash makes his way through the people chasing down a purse snatcher while making sure not to bump into too many people but just as the crowds let up the purse snatcher stumbles onto the streetcar tracks falling down the man driving shouts for everyone to hold on as he hits the brakes and with how fast they're going they don't think they're going to stop in time just before the streetcar can hit the man the flash runs in front of it creating a wind tunnel to slow it down stating that it looks like he's got there right on time after making sure there's no damage to the streetcar the flash grabs the snatcher telling him that this is kind of embarrassing but could you brought me to the local police to drop you off I'm not from around here please and thank you a few moments later iris says that that took longer than expected why not just vibrate through everyone and flash tells her because that would be rude not to mention dangerous what would happen if I ran into someone at the wrong frequency iris says to him you promised that we would stay together on this force quest now it's time to go check out this place as the two of them walk up to an old building iris goes on stating that this church is one of the oldest structures in this location back when the trickster attacked central city library there was this book in the wreckage they talked about a world traveler named Richard a meaty who believed that there could have been signs of people with superpowers throughout history some of these powers sound like they could be the new forces it can't be a coincidence Barry as the two walk up the stairs flash notices the door to Richards office has been broken into the two walk in and flash says that they've both seen enough crime scenes to know that this was done by a professional the ransacked patterns tell them that there was more than one person searching for something very specific just then two masked individuals jumped down from the rafters and a woman says that she thinks these two aren't any danger just a pair of young lovers just like them the male Lance dating I doubt that they're just like us flash thinks to himself he can't change into costume right now without revealing that he is the flash so he asks who are they the woman holds up a small statue stating that they're in search of souvenirs you may call us Gemini iris and that asks did they do all of this for that statue and the and says that they would love to stay for proper introductions but you really don't care au revoir as the to jump out the window flash quickly changes into his costume and he runs down outside to try and stop them as he catches up to them he asks do you guys know that your masks are kind of creepy why don't you just tell me how important this tent she really is the male gets up swinging but his flash tips out of the way he says you know this really is unnecessary we could just talk like adults but as the woman holds up the statue she tells him this totem was crafted hundreds of years ago to worship the god Kratos it represents strength and power and now it belongs to me that's when the male keeps flash busy and the woman charges up her gauntlet punching flash into a wall with a loud boom the woman yells that her skin feels so alive with power her blood boils with strength and the male kisses they're telling her for heaven's sake don't give it all to yourself a splash pulls himself out of the rubble he thinks that he hasn't been hit that hard since the trickster was infected with the strength force but those two they're not strength force users before the flash could follow the masked a duo he realizes the wall that he was thrown into was a part of a church and it's about to come down he runs through grabbing everyone before the debris can crushed them it even after saving everyone he realizes he couldn't save the church a short while later down in the sewers the two masked criminals take off their masks and the woman belladonna says that if she's being honest she's a little turned on her lover Santiago tells her that he would have never had thought that she'd enjoy skin tight red pajamas belladonna goes on stating that the energy coming off of him she needs it do they need it with that kind of power that can feel free forever will you go and get him lover Santiago smiles and says that he will chase the flash down to the ends of the earth for her back top side the flash picks up iris and begins to run with her asking what are they going to do about the gemini flash tells her that they're gonna have to wait the Speed Force is pulling him away from the city they should have started here to begin with as they stop iris looks around and asks gorilla city you told me all about this place I never thought I'd be able to see it flash then tells her there's a reason it's hardly the safest place even without grant but from the looks of it someone else must be hunting for the secrets of the Speed Force but before them scattered throughout the city are the bodies of dead gorillas the flash begins to run over out examining the body stating that these all recent but there's only one person who could have done this garage iris asks isn't he working with the Legion of Doom now and flash tells her that's it taking you back to Central City all of this is my fault I told so levar that I would return but I ignored them in now this Irish yells that he always lets his guilt get the better of him because of that he always misses things that are right in front of his face like the hidden passage over there Barry she takes out her phone to shine some light down the walkway and so the two of them begin to walk down finding a giant mural painted along the wall flash looks up and says that he remembers King solovar telling him the legend of the light in the messenger they've been studying the Speed Force for generations before the lightning in his lab had struck him it's what Grodd used to create a Speed Force storm there's just so much that he doesn't know but just then the sound of a low rumbling growl can be heard and suddenly two giant gorillas burst out from the ground roaring one yells go away and as it attacks the flash picks up iris and gets her out of harm's way flash shouts that he doesn't want to hurt them as he creates a wind tunnel to push them back but as what is thrown into the wall a mechanical eye pops out from one of the gorillas flash pauses for a second stating huh robot gorillas awesome he starts running around the robots with iris asking honey what are you doing the flash stops holding up one of the gorillas head stating that he just wanted to see what makes these things tick he had no idea that the gorillas had this kind of technology that they were dis and advanced but it wouldn't mean that someone has to be controlling them just then a voice calls out it was me a group of gorillas signed to step out telling him that they're sorry they thought the killer had returned flash asks who are they in the scientists state that they work in the labs below they survived the attacks because the killer never saw them though they didn't have a chance to see who it was that slaughtered their people come there is much to be shown flash the scientists lead the flash down deeper into the tunnels and they explained that King solovar called him a friend but he knew that there were some things that needed to remain with the gorilla people before a garage killed King solovar he requested that they document their history and further advanced the gorillas Grodd never wanted to expand their knowledge beyond their walls flash asks is that why Grodd killed everyone and the scientists tell him that it wasn't Grodd we did not see the one who was responsible but we do know what they were after the scientists flipped the switch a flash of light shines at a familiar voice calls out rod if you were witnessing this then you have finally found a better path it is time for you to learn the truth of the Speed Force flash and iris look up to the massive projection of Kings soul of art as he explains that there are four forces speed strength sage and still each with its own avatar it was their duty to keep the multiverse of moving and progressing towards its destiny their people were blessed with the sage force which is why they have the powers that they do but not since their ancestor the original soul of our have they been able to reach their full potential as having an avatar of their own for the sage force these avatars worked against the dark force from outside of the past present in future and the midst of the greatest battle the forces before the projection could finish it distorts and fades out and the flash asks what happened to the rest the scientists tell them that they don't know they can give them as much data as they've gathered but that's all they have virus looks at one of the terminals stating actually hang on I studied this tech in my past life I can help you get what you need and we have a tech-savvy friend who can process the force energy readings that you capture flash says right commander cold you read me back in Central City commander cold an individual from the future who took the name commander cold and then became stranded in the past fires his freeze gun at a group of bank robbers yelling yeah I'm a little busy right now flash Irish yells into the comm stating hey we're in gorilla city and we got some information I just went ahead and emailed it cold tells it yeah yeah yeah I got it on the screen now satellites are showing a strength force signal coming from corto Maltese along with some police radio about some trouble it sounds like a conflict is taking place cops in the streets dealing with some unstoppable strong criminal flash quickly scoops of Irish dating will be back I promise and as he leaves one of the scientists asks why don't you tell them the whole truth and another says that he isn't ready another voice tells them I agree on secrets of Fame Santiago slashes through the scientists stating that they're only interested in the flash but he just has to try a taste of talking monkey Santiago holds up his gauntlet and begins to absorb the gorillas mind and another scientist yells that they were the ones who killed their brethren belladonna grabs him telling him sorry but Java point the finger at someone else we just got here but maybe if you tell us everything we might spare you meanwhile over at corto Maltese flash arrives to find the police are fighting back against that unknown force as the policeman has thrown into a nearby building the flash rushes in grabbing all of the officers moving them out of the way that's when there's a flash of green that lands behind him and knocks him down he looks up to see a dark-skinned woman would dread standing before him telling him flash welcome to corto Maltese my name is fiora Vyasa jumps on the flash but Wally dodges the iris runs to the commanding officer on the scene telling him that they need to call off their men the officer tells her that he did not ask for the Flash's help masked vigilantes are nothing but trouble you are not wanted in corto Maltese Piazza swings again with the flash shelling of whoa hang on a second I just want to talk to you about the strength force she punches him in the gut throwing him to the side and as she leaves herself open the commanding officer tells his men to open fire flash gets up starting to pick the bullets out of the air shouting what the hell you could have killed innocence the officer grabs iris pointing his gun at her head stating maybe we still do will I let you get out of our city Fionna thrusts her arms into the ground creating a shock wave throwing everyone off balance shouting it is not your city for yours that tells flash that it looks like they're on the same team if you want my apology then follow me flash yells for iris as he runs through picking her up and following for yours ax as they leave one officer shouts to the commanding officer Cauldron that this has gone on far too long if you wish to maintain hold on your city that you cannot continue this private little war with Rosa cauldre takes his gun shooting the man in the head then he grabs his phone telling the person on the line that he was wrong it appears that he doesn't need to take them up on their offer all of his toys are broken and they're going to need something bigger elsewhere flash arrives behind for yours and she says that she's sorry for punching him she wasn't sure what side he was on their city has been taken over by a corrupt man named caldron he brings weapons into the country illegally and she was destroying one of his shipments flash says look I know we've never met before but you're gonna have to trust me when I state I come in peace she folds her arms telling him that she knows who he is but why should she trust him flash takes off his mask telling her my name is Barry Allen and I can sense a force connection and I know I can trust you I need to learn as much as I can about the strength force she begins to walk off stating that she appreciates the gesture but his name means nothing to her he can go home flash says look I know what you're feeling everything is so confusing and lonely you got your powers a few weeks ago right something grabbed you from under the ground she stops how did you know I was just going about my day when something took and buried me alive when I emerged I felt all this strength it was a gift flash puts his mask back on telling her those powers came for something called a strength force long ago there were four avatars of the forces who protected space in time for me to understand these new forces I need to connect with the Speed Force like I've never done before and the key lies somewhere with these new forces so maybe if I could but she stops him lifting up a giant boulder asking me I'm not sure I've already got a lot of my plate here flashing Irish follow for yours and they look around at the people growing crops asking did you make this community inside of the mountain she tells them yes with her bare hands she's helping the people of corto Maltese to build a better life away from cauldron her real name is Alexa Antigone but you could still call her Forza these people will always be her priority why should she take time to help hit them instead of these people flash holds out his hand saving to the powers that she received felt like a gift right wouldn't you want to share that she lasts okay but you're going to learn my way a short while later she takes Flash out to show her power by lifting a tank she explains that her body shifts the strength force for what she meets normally she's pretty and Vaughn well but if she uses the strength force for things that are this heavy she loses some of that flash asks how about the gravity aspect of the strength force she says that she focuses her powers on the strength part not the gravity there's not much that he's super strong punch won't fix she just needs to be more in touch with the earth since that's where her powers are formed Theo is a shows flash what it means to help people and while unloading the supplies a young boy calls out to her holding his bloody father feels that grabs the man asking what happened and the voices that cauldron attacked them he wanted to know where the hideout was she sets the man down clenching her fists yelling these people got hurt because of me cauldron will be stopped I'll go down and demolish that police station flash stops are telling her to hang on she can't just attack recklessly she could hurt someone ferrozzo tells him that he can't just hope things will get better you have to make them and with that an explosion goes off on the mountainside before forza can call it to her family though flash grabs her and starts to run within seconds he charges through punching out the officers holding IRAs and fioors his mother hostage leaving Cauldron to forza she leaps up yelling to him and as he turns back he holds out his arm wielding a small cannon a light blue mist forms from the barrel and college' said that he is ready this time the cannon goes off shooting bubbles that are filling the room she stops laughing bubbles really but the flash tells her that this is no laughing matter he has seen those godless before the bubbles begin to stick to for yours and as she tries to shake them off the bubbles turned into little blue creatures the sharp teeth and long tongues they jump at the flash as he yells the gun is powered by the sage force more and more creatures begin to form a swarm around the two of them with her punching through them they just end up growing back cauldron that asks do you like my new toy I really didn't want it to come to this but I had to get a bit creative fioors of shouts to the flash asking how do you want to fight this and the flash tells her we're gonna try your way and keep punching but not in the way you're thinking if you were to use the gravity powers to draw them in a while reforming we might be able to use the Speed Force to accelerate the energy inside of them causing them to burst fioors it says that she's not sure that she can in the flash yells you said you felt one with the earth right search for that feeling again she begins to concentrate covering the reforming creatures in the gravity energy and once they've all clumped together the flash launches a bolt a speed force with a crack ooh that's the smoke fades the flash tells her look we solved your little problem and cauldrons men are already on the run now we just need to make sure cauldron can't use this age force gauntlet again bureaus that tells flash that she's already on it as she grabs called you by the arm crushing and ripping apart the gauntlet she then grabs cauldron by the throat telling him that he will never hurt her country or her family again as she pulls her arm back to swing the flash shows no and he runs through grabbing cauldron from her telling her that that is not the answer she looks back yelling but he doesn't know that he he will stop me she begins to grow in size the same as the trickster when he lost control his strength was turning into a mindless brute she's punching the wall shouting that she will bury them alive the flash dodges the falling rocks but yours the charges into him smacking him into a wall the flash that starts to focus his frequency to build up another Speed Force charge and just as fear or as it gets close he shocks and stuns her he tells it that she was a great teacher but he cannot allow her to be consumed by her anger she was about to step over the line that she could never return from she begins to get back up yelling that she doesn't care what he but her mother runs until her to stop this this isn't to you you don't break you built sure a while later as Argos arrives to take Holdren away flash tells forza that they won't be worrying about him for a while iris that says they still need to figure out who the sage force user is maybe with a broken gauntlet that can - reaching out to Commander cold again flash and iris find another signal coming from Xanthia a place where some of the worst supervillains go for are and on cold radios in statement they need to be careful if the sage force really is there chances are they're a criminal a little while later the both head into the city with iris asking if he's ready flash looked at himself wearing a Black Hawk uniform stating that this will never work this isn't my style she tells him that because it's not his style it's the perfect disguise it's the two of them walk out she asks how's the signal flash says that he could feel the sage force getting stronger it matches what he felt when heat wave was possessed by it just then a voice calls out that he doesn't like being followed flash an hour's turn around to see themselves surrounded by all of the criminals on the island and a man that could read their thoughts says that their worst fear is being caught by the flash wait you know where the flash holy crap man this is why you're looking for me because I have the sage force dude the man takes off his helmet shaking the Flash's as the villains disappear stating I am such a huge fan once they got to the secluded rooftop in the supervillain safe haven known as Sandia the sage force user explains to flash that there are a few things that he needs to go over before they begin the person that they're targeting is a woman named roulette she is a games master and a criminal kingpin of the city one of the most deadliest people in the world and just as anyone who would hear her name would assume she runs illegal casinos all across the world so why is he telling one of the greatest heroes who ever lived this because he's an agent of Argus and his mission is to shut down her empire but he has a question why is the flash wearing to get up like that the flash begins his side of the story a few months ago three new forces were introduced into the world one of them being the sage force which psych right here in front of him currently has the man takes off his helmet stating that's a pretty cool name not sure how much help I can be though iris tells him that this should probably start small like his name and how he got his powers because she's having a hard time thinking that psyches his real name so he explains he's actually Basheer as for his powers well it's gonna sound crazy so let's just go ahead and show them psych holds out his hands and soon flash and Irish begin to see images of psych and he tells them that he was having these terrifying nightmares when one night boom he ignited on a fire Argus was there to help him recover and from there they sent him on a mission to gather information on supervillains and report it back there's been some things that he's not very proud of though but he does what he does because he believes in justice jurgis chose him because he lived on the streets he never knew his father or his mother and she was killed here now that the flash is here maybe they can work together takeout roulette and learn about these new forces the flash tells them that the only problem with that is no one can know that the flash was here iris stops him asking are you serious we just met this guy the flash says iris it's the same thing that I felt when I was with forza there's a connection here that I feel with psyche once we get him out of here we'll go back to Central City and commander cold will have a look and figure all of this out a short while later ever let's casino psyche points out that the psychic blocker that roulette has protects its guests and says that they need to take that thing out as the three move in psyche stops and tells iris actually you should probably hang back you're the only one without powers and it'd be much safer she asks really the flash tells her you right let me scope out things first and we'll get back to you she scoffs and a voice calls out to her stating that she isn't sure why they're hanging out with that creep she looks back asking excuse me and the criminal magpie says psyche he's such a creep oh that's saying something when everyone in this place is on the shady side of things iris leans up against the bar asking magpie to please tell her more up close by BER let's eat psyche tells flash that all they need to do is take down the blocker once he does that they can so flash runs over to the blocker disables it and comes back asking what's next psych holds up his hand stating half we're just getting started now I can really use my powers to make a big distraction flash asks what is he but before he can finish psych puts flash back in his costume shouting to everyone look who it is get him the flash starts taking out all of the lowly criminals and king of the Royal Flush gang yells it's done but the flash to fold as flash is forced to defend himself psych sneaks up behind roulette and using his powers begins to extract information on her entire operation after a few moments psych says wow you got a lot more going on than just these casinos you are really bad as flash takes at the last member of the Royal Flush gang sake runs up in the back yelling best blood ever let's but before he could finish flash runs through grabbing both him and Irish dropping them off on the roof asking what the hell was that you knew me being here could cause an international incident my cover was blown psych says don't worry who are they gonna call they're all criminals once I call Argus this whole thing will be cleaned up and iris Topsham no it won't you're lying you don't work for Argus you're just some kid who uses his powers to steal information on super villains and then you blackmail them for money the whole thing about your parents was a lie psyche asks oh yeah well that's my cover me and flash have a bond now you're the one who's lying flash tells him that even if he hadn't pulled that stunt back there he'd believe iris I don't need mind-reading powers to know when she's telling the truth psyche sighs huh you're right you know best you can go ahead and take me to supervillain Jail flash reaches out telling him I don't know about but before he could finish cycles psych and he starts to use his powers to destroy flash and irises Minds they fall to the ground screaming in pain as psych puts on his helmet telling them I knew you were coming here there are people who would pay a lot of money for you so I made a deal just in Santiago and belladonna step out stating I flash ever since we met to back into botany SIA we just had to see you again flash begins to get up telling them leave iris out of this and belladonna says oh I wouldn't be too worried about your gal pal you have something that we've been looking for Santiago goes Alice's actually were much older than we appear back in the 40s we were on the hunt for immortality all of our search led us to a lab we'll learn to drain cosmic energy that energy is the forces that you seek absorbing the forces brings immortality and we could only save in so much with the scraps that we had then we met and learned that you had the Speed Force well we couldn't pass that up flash with what we know about these forces we could live forever together psyche tells them cool story bro but if it really could just give me my money now belladonna grabs psych by the head asking did you really think that we would steal Flash's powers and not yours Santiago reaches for the flash and while both him in psych are having their powers draped Santiago yells this is your as the two begin to absorb the forces of Sage and speed iris gets up calling out to flash tackling into Santiago belladonna calls up to Santiago asking if he's okay but as he springs back up he runs with the Flash's speed stating actually I've never felt better he speeds up granny iris by the throat hanging her off the ledge of the roof telling her it doesn't matter we've got to their palace but before he could let her go the flash gets back on his feet helps psych up stating we may be a little weak but we're gonna have to work together to get through this psyche shakes off the dizziness and rushes in with the flash and as the two of them get close they combined both the Speed Force and a sage force to knock Gemini away Santiago and belladonna deflect the attack with Santiago telling belladonna looks like we're going to have to do the same psych gets up getting ready to attack again but the flash tells him wait let them share their powers Santiago and belladonna get ready to kiss and as their places get close there's a loud track a comb and the two are blown away iris gets up asking what just happened the flash tells her it was that way when heatwave was infused at both forces they nearly killed him psych the Rosa's helmet shutting No they tried to kill me he runs over grabbing Santiago asking you really want to see how far I could push the sage force let's find out together dai he begins to release all of the sage forces powered directly into Santiago's head belladonna screams for him to stop the flash Russ's in throwing psych off asking what did you just do in psych yells I turned out his lights flash let's go skating you can't use your powers like that ever but psychic knocks his hand away asking what do you know about our powers turns out while it was in Santiago's head Santiago knows more about the forces than we can ever imagine flash then asks what do you mean and Psyche out let me show you flash then begins to see the images of the force avatars in here Sykes voice telling him the four forces did not work together to save the multiverse their destiny has always been to be at war until one alone could finally control the forever force the other forces didn't disappear the Speed Force Avatar banished them all four can't be free one must win control and for one force to live the other three must die so whatever you were told about the four working together was a lie if you want to keep your speed force you're gonna have to fight for it with another loud tracker cocoon the flash and iris are stunned last stop stating that he showed him about the new forces and what they really are so how did Jem and I know so much about them a short while later and Arkham after belladonna is booked flash goes to her cell stating that he's sorry about her husband but they need to she stops him asking what are you talking about Santiago sorry to hear he's here with me I saved him can't you see we're going to escape and steal all the forces together your monkey friends told me everything flash thinks about it for a moment and he picks up iris and he runs to gorilla City when they get there they find it in ruins the flash checks around not finding anyone but as a fire is lit one of the gorillas scientists walks out the flash runs over asking what happened and the scientist looks back stating two thieves that had wished for eternal life they killed all my brothers they let me live if I told them the truth about the forces flash says it's true then the four forces never worked together and the scientist tells him we hoped that you could bring a change to that a year of hope such as herself could put an end to the war so lavars records show that the last war nearly tore the multiverse apart but that isn't all we hide flash takes the tablet and as he reads it he says I messed up I had hoped this person was lost in Hypertime but Soloman is back he's the one who killed everyone in gorilla city flash picks up iris and begins to run but before iris could ask where they're going she sat down in front of their house flash takes off trying to process everything but instead of looking for Salomon or anything like that he thinks back to something Booster Gold had said he was talking about sanctuary and acting really weird and then he mentioned something under his breath Wally the flash hurries over to sanctuary and as he opens the door he finds Wally's lifeless body the winds quietly blow over the fields of sanctuary as flash holds Wally's costume he stares thinking back to when Wally was younger and how he grew up into the man that he is today without saying a word the flash takes off and before Superman could go after him Batman tells him let him be flash begins to run faster and faster until there's a cracking goon as the flash enters the Speed Force shouting for Wally Wally can't really be gone canny he has to be somewhere in the Speed Force right but the flash he falls to his knees yelling cans he's not and then a voice calls out to him he quickly turns back and as he does godspeed punches him shouting you're not supposed to be here flash rubs his face asking how are you here where have you been all this time godspeed runs off and the flash chases after am yelling you can't outrun me and as the flash reaches out for him God speed turns around asking is that a fact what if I wanted you to believe that with a thundering dragon whom God speed pushes the two of them back outside of the speed force and the flash asks is this how you're gonna get your Redemption godspeed tells them it all takes actions now words I've made it my life's mission to clean up the Flash's mess I'm sorry I gotta leave you now but the future needs saving meanwhile over in iron Heights Kid Flash and Avery pay a visit to mina when the three of them hears someone calling out god speed stops before them stating oh look a family reunion and mina shouts asking what is he doing here godspeed tells us that he came looking for her but having the kids here saves me some trouble flash jumps in front of God's be telling him you need to stop before you do something stupid what is this about Godspeed and God speed looks at him you just gonna have to trust me on this when it's all over you're gonna see that I'm the hero that I'm trying to be flash tells them whatever it is we can work on it together but you're not going anywhere near these kids God speed runs around attacking the guards asking what about them shouldn't be a problem hurting them right flash grabs got to be slamming them into the wall shouting for Kid Flash in Avery to run and then it's a loud crack as God speed shocks the flash telling him no stay the Flash's body is thrown across the jail cell and Mina tells God speed look the flash is the only one who ever believed in you I've started the Speed Force long enough to know that there's something wrong with you is there someone in your head god speed grabs me too by the head telling her I've never seemed more lucid with another croc lightning strikes Mina and God speed says that he's doing this for their own good Kid Flash and they every charge back in knocking god speed back shouting to get away from her but as God speed runs around them he tells them come on chill out I can only imagine the tense everyone is since Wally kicked the bucket but fighting isn't gonna make any of us feel any better Kid Flash and every stomp they ask wait what what are you talking about god speed asks did flash really not tell you Wally West is dead God's been reappears grabbing Avery shocking her the same as Mina and then he moves on to Kid Flash telling him I should forget about being in your flash family the flash leaps up charging into God's feet shouting you are not a part of our family you never have been and you never will be he begins to punch god speed over into over and then he stops to breathe noticing the blood on his hands god speed coughs telling him haha now I get it you gotta burn off those pesky feelings somehow someday you'll see all I'm trying to do is warn you whatever you did they don't just hate the flash they hate all speedsters god speed gets up punching flesh away telling him that this gauntlet belonged to another speedster and it's been modified for a new purpose but before I go I just wanted to say I'm sorry about your loss he takes off asking were they listening the mission is complete there are no more speedsters to collect from but that's when impulse appears and kicks Godspeed in the head asking dude who are you impulse begins to beat into God's beat throwing him into a gas station pump and Godspeed asks who is this some new sidekick looks like there's one more to collect from as Godspeed attempts to hit impulse though impulse vibrates away and with a loud cracking ha a voice calls out to the gods be telling him you are not ready for this speedster enter the Speed Force now Godspeed asks what are you talking about he's just a kid now whatever I guess teaching him a lesson laughter wait Godspeed escapes impulse rugs asking who's that guy talking to oh well I'm gonna need some answers and I know just where to get him later at STAR Labs Kid Flash is scanned finishes and he asks what did God speed do to them the flash says as far as he can see nothing he didn't hurt any of them or leave any lasting effects so mita says that she hates to a minute but she stumped too as the guards take Mina back Kid Flash jumps on the table and asks so are we gonna talk about it is Wally dead the flash looks away telling him it's true and Kid Flash yells well if it was true you'd be a mess right now Mina was just here right remember what God's been killed her and now she's walking around and how about this does Irish snow bury the flesh tries to think of something to say but Kid Flash tells him I knew it you couldn't help yourself still keeping seekers no matter who you hurt you never change it that's a flash fact every time you've ever disappointed me or gotten upset I was the one who ran away but now it's the flashes turn later back at their home iris hears the sound of thunder and she says that she knows that sound almost but before she could even drink from her cup the flash runs in images of Wally one through flashes headed iris turns back asking if he's finally gonna tell her what's going on or but then she accidentally drops the place and as it hits the ground iris says that she's used to him grabbing the plates before it lands but he Barry takes off the mask and he says something bad happened to Sanctuary Wally he iris throws her cups shouting no no we just got him back do something go back in time people like you and Wally those heroes always died and come back we've all seen it before he came back once before he could do it again the flash reaches out stating that it's not like that he saw Wally end she's lambs are fists on the dining room table yelling you have to find out who did this had killed them flashes taken back by those words and says that she can't mean that falls to her knees crying yelling no she knows it's just but all the flash can do this comfort iris the best that he can in a first epilogue the flash museum impulse stares up at the statues of flash and Wally stating that this isn't right like it's the same but something is missing Wally's cast was super cool and all but that isn't the Wally that he knows even the museum has changed it's all wrong now this isn't like time passed or people are missing this is bigger than that he may not be able to find his family but he knows what they would do that's never give up hope I'll see you soon Wally I know it for now I need to find my friends epilogue number two elsewhere Godspeed steps out of the Speed Force David he did what needed to be done he betrayed the flesh and it sucked the voice from before asks why did he say that he was sorry for his loss Godspeed asks oh you were listening I met while he wants sin he knows that Wally meant a lot to Barry can't imagine what kind of pain he's in but then he rushes in and twist the knife this doesn't sit well with him and it all better be worth it the voice tells him it will be they've seen how the flash has hurt the timestream ever since they were freed from iron Heights in the 25th century they have witnessed how destructive the Flash's actions are godspeed takes up the gauntlet handing it over telling him yeah well this thing worked like a charm allowed me and move in and out of the Speed Force with ease along with getting speed for samples of all the speedsters that I could find a voice tells him good the flash family will pay for what they did for what they did they are family by the time they're finished there will be no more speedsters the Batcave Batman stands over the body of Wally West a surgical scalpel in his hand the blade hovers over the heroes skin but he can't do it and Batman walks away Long Island the Justice League is in a heated battle with the Justice League of Amazo Android versions of the team created by Professor Ivo Wonder Woman is pissed that someone would activate these robots while Green Lantern merely wants to take bets and who can bring down their counterpart first Batman doesn't hesitate he defeats his with some well-placed batarangs oh come on yours had no powers Batman Superman remarks as his own amaze arm explodes when it tries to punch the Man of Steel's chest before Batman's eyes Superman's visage flashes and he's looking at the hero known as commander Steele a hero who died during the sanctuary incident that meant stairs stunned but just as quickly the image is gone and Superman is standing there Batman you okay you look like you've seen a ghost shrugging it off Batman tell Superman to stay on mission with the rest of the team are marking that he's just grumpy because the sun's out off the team Channel Batman reaches to Alfred in the Batcave telling him to look for any hallucinations in his system but his faithful Butler tells him that he just needs a good night's sleep as a maze Oh flash rushes him from behind before any of the other League members can assistant Batman jumps over the androids head unclipping his utility belt and wrapping it around though androids throat driving his knee into its back he pulls with all of his strength images the sanctuary flashed through his vision until he finally rips off flash amazed OHS head the league stands victorious all exhausted with what seems like endless emergencies they turned but Batman is already gone Green Lantern looks over at the flash wondering if he wants to grab a bite to eat without a response the fastest man alive merely leaves gone at a streak of lightning it's nothing personal though both Batman and the flash are wrapped up in the tragedy of sanctuary flash lost wally west while both he and batman have been working on the investigation they've both come up with 0 answers later at the flash Museum the crowds are gathering as they always do for the museum of one of the most beloved heroes in the Justice League as the patrons are enjoying the various displays on the history of the flash the buildings subtly shakes as something impacts with the ceiling the building quakes in the destruction rains down on the people below and in the dust and shadows a lone caped figure looks up at the crowds run panic fills the air as the people begin to flee in the fear inside a man grabs his daughter trying to dodge the destruction as they flee out of the building and his daughter points flash she yells but he keeps running the flash isn't there but she points again outside the massive flash statue begins to fall as its leg is snapped in half the man turns trying to shield his daughter from their inevitable fate but that's when they're pulled free as Batman swings in and once they are safely away Batman wordlessly stalks into the museum drawing his batarangs for a fight but the room it's empty a noise behind him causes Batman to turn throwing his batarangs but the flash merely catches them he isn't here to fight and he's surprised that he was able to sneak up on Batman the person who did this is gone flash understands but their work isn't it done and he speeds outside helping those he can by giving them first aid and food no matter how crazy things get it makes them feel better when they see a smile Batman watches the fastest man alive seeing images of Wally once more he was on his way back to Gotham when he heard the alarms flash understands he needs to gather evidence so Batman can go ahead and pull his vanishing act we can tackle this case together like the old days the words bring memories of the past when flash and Kid Flash worked with Batman and Robin images of Wally laughing and joking they're painful and they bring silence from Barry Barry has dealt with many mysteries in his career and he's sick of lies he knows Batman wasn't just passing I want the truth now if Evan admits it he knew the attack was coming similar attacks have happened around Gotham small really no injuries clearly things are escalating whoo Barry asks so Batman tells him that he thinks it's Gotham girl a former hero who was manipulated by psycho-pirate alongside her brother her powers would have killed her so Batman benched her they don't know why she's attacking but they have to find her and in her secret lair Gotham girl moves forward through the shadow the flash is involved and a big smile crosses her face nothing will stop her from becoming a hero nothing will stop her from saving her brother she speaks to her brother but he barely listens tubes pump green liquid into his body as he slumps to the floor he'll may he struggles as his head falls Gotham girl begs him to stay with her she also seems to be speaking to someone in the shadows someone who promised to help her to help bring Gotham back to help become the heroes again back at the flash Museum Batman and flash continue to work the crime scene while they're both helping the stress of sanctuary has taken its toll on their teamwork and they're both lost in their own thoughts the two of them are doing their best but seeing each other only reminds them of what they can't solve despite these thoughts they're both excellent detectives and a leaf points them in the direction of the Caribbean the only question now is can the top-speed batwing keep up with the flash the island seems deserted as if no one's been there for years but a quick run around by the flash reveals footprints and a plant that they found at the Museum also there's a giant evil looking fortress and that seems to be a really big clue before they can decide how to proceed a call comes over berries comes the two begin to walk in as the voice of iris asks Barry where is he they're supposed to talk to Wallace about what happened to wall-e today but knowing that he's working with Batman only makes iris angry and Barry hangs up after she asks him to pass along a message one that he'd rather not relate a Batman further into the base the two heroes discover a roomful of obsession pictures of the Justice League lighting the walls images of the heroes in action saving people Gotham girl and her brother were saved by Batman when they were younger they wanted to become heroes like him save others in the world but their powers were killing them after her brother's death Batman forced her to stop being a hero I told the rose because she would die from using her powers but the reality was I didn't want this life for her but it didn't matter both Bruce and baring know that if someone wants to be a hero nothing can stop them these words would bring back Flash's memories of when Wally first got his powers of their first conversations about Wally's costume who made Gotham and Gotham girls costumes Barry asks they didn't do it themselves Barry helped Wally Alfred helped the Robins somebody was there for them somebody helped them for the world's greatest detective you sure miss a lot Batman is this really the time to bring up sanctuary the dark night questions but the two are interrupted by a strange buzzing sound coming from deeper within the fortress moving into another chamber they find cryotubes and the bodies within or slumped over dead Barry finds two tubes that are unoccupied and opened the chemicals within aren't supernatural Barry can quickly determine the chemical compounds they all have one base venom the thing that Bane uses to power up his abilities Batman is immediately on guard this place as a trap somebody wanted them to find these bodies subtly flash stops his question coming from the other side of the room he turns and one of sanctuaries masks are in his hands did Gotham girl ever go to sanctuary but Batman knows that if that mask is here it's because somebody wanted them to find it he continues to scan the room Batarang ready but flash won't let it go he's subtly besides Batman repeating the question did Gotham girl go to sanctuary there's no time for a response though is the wall besides them crumbles and Gotham girl comes flying in through the rubble Batman tries to talk to her no one was hurt and the other attacks she can stop this the flash tries to stop her as she makes her way to the super venom but Gotham girl is fast and strong and simply backhands him away plugging the file into the machine causes of reaction and suddenly the tubes open up as Batman and flash watch the preserved experiments moving towards them Gotham girl floats over them your lives to inspire others to be heroes now these prototypes wish to prove themselves the strange super-powered zombies begin to attack the heroes with the Flash's fists moving in a blur they don't understand if she continues to use her powers she'll die Gotham girl look Reese but she'll die a hero shouldn't I want to die a hero Batman continues to fight to reach her her brother wouldn't have wanted this Clare orders him not to talk about her brother and with these final words she leaves our heroes to their fight Claire can feel her powers breaking down her body as she flies through the nightmare but she didn't have a cool origin story so she needs one she pushes at the pain pushing herself faster through the sky if she is to be a great hero she's going to need a great origin story back at the island fortress though in a massive battle Batman and flash continue their fight their fighting super serum zombies that aren't alive so Batman Horrors flash not to hold back problem is this is like fighting an army of undead supermen and they're running out of time despite the fight that flash wants to know the important question as he found a psycho-pirate mask right here in this battle did Batman bring Gotham girl to sanctuary could she be the cause of the death of their friends Batman tells him I don't know how she got that mask we have to stop following her plan and come up with one of our own whoever is behind Gotham girl is using her in the events of sanctuary to hide their actions they need to make the zombies burn themselves out as the powers of Gotham and Gotham girl kill them as slowly as they use the abilities these being imperfect zombies will burn out faster than the normal people of Gotham and Gotham girl hopping under flashes back Batman uses himself as bait forcing the creatures to chase after them the zombies follow them as they zip around the base and one by one they burn out bright until finally the last one Falls but for flash it's a hollow victory all these people wanted was to be heroes the flash turns on Batman anger in his words this is your fault another mystery built by you that bites the rest of us in the ass he turns to leave he needs to be at Central City and stop whatever Gotham girl is planning and Batman can't stop him as gravel hits his face with Barry speeding away back at the Central City PD headquarters iris West is searching for a picture of her Barry and Wally after finding what she wanted she moves to leave the building but suddenly the roof collapses has Gotham girl lands in the room but flash is there ordering her to stop as he moves around helping people whoever put you up to this you don't need to do what they say the woman just lasted him though if he just left Batman behind well that wasn't very heroic was it flash flash tries to get through to her he knows that losing her brother hurts he lost someone to he would have told Wally to stop being a hero if he could but he knew Wally West wouldn't listen just like he knows that this destruction will not bring Gotham back but these words only bring a smile to Gotham girl's lips the Cotham isn't dead and from behind her the hero once known as Gotham floats into the room the last time that we saw each other flash I took down the whole Justice League do you think you have a chance god the finishes is taunt by flying across the room his fist aimed towards the Flash's head luckily the flash is fast and avoids the blow but back on the island Batman has finally reached the batwing and he orders it to head over to Central City at top speed in our fight though the flash continues to avoid Gotham's blows trying to reach the former hero and his sister they are both going to die if they continue to use their powers he doesn't understand Batman and the flash are trying to help him but the flash gets distracted when he sees iris and a punch from Gotham sense of careening out of the building balancing off one another until he finally lands on a taxi in the street below Gotham lips the hero up from the wreckage they used to look up to the flash as well debating whether they should have SuperSpeed or flight luckily we got it all in the batwing though warning lights are flashing as the engines are being strained BAM it ignores it's pushing onward with Alfred coming over the comms warning Bruce you need to eject sir subtly Gotham drops flash as his body begins to break he seems to be melting right before their eyes Gotham girl holds her brother in her arms she becomes a husk of what he once was he promised he would be different this time she begins to cry iris hell's buried to his feet asking whether Gotham girl was the one who killed Gotham but Barry knows that she is just innocent Gotham girl continues to cry tears flowing down her face her brother was too far gone he was already dead and she worlds in the flash her fists raised just like you but she subtly stopped as a bolo wraps around her neck exploding around her head barely slows her though as Batman lands on the pavement before them he tries to reach her he tries to make her see that living the life of a hero is hard he can still help her where did you get this serum but it doesn't matter Gotham girl injects it into her neck with her body beginning to glow as Batman yells for her to stop but Gotham girl knows being a hero means living with the pain doing anything to avenge the ones you love before Batman Gotham go Rises her body glowing or the raw power the flash continues to drag people out of the wreckage as Gotham girl unleashes her new powers on the city wiping out entire city blocks with beams from her eyes Batman tries to get her attention he doesn't want to hurt her but he will if she doesn't stop but his batarangs are nothing snapping as they even get close to her power Gotham girl is sick of Batman thinking that he is in control and she lodges more energy at him the blast would have killed him but luckily the flash is there to pull him free Barry doesn't want to fight her he wants to understand he wants to help they tell her to stop using her powers but if she doesn't she's going to die but without her powers Clair isn't nothing and her brother knew that suddenly Clair stops her flight to waiver rings lately she vomits greenish fluid seemingly exploding out of her and she falls the heroes rush in performing CPR trying to bring her back around they won't lose another hero they've lost too many and sanctuary each sees those that they have lost as they try to bring Clair back to life Batman offers to use the defibrillator on his belt but flash knows it'll take more than that and he generates lightning with his speed the electricity jolts through Claire bringing her back in forcing the rest of the serum out of her body Batman where am I she asks shakily the girl well she remembers nothing I should get her to the cave to help her like you helped Wally the cry breezes them as iris forces her way through the rubble she blames them they brought another young person into their world without any thought of the repercussions she's not afraid of Batman his words bring nothing but a slap to the face the two don't have time for this she just tells them to leave and the Batcave Batman has managed to replicate the stasis tubes from the island fortress allowing Gotham girl to stay there until her body recovers she seems to have no memory of the island who gave her the serum or why she attacked the museum but now that flash has saved her Batman can do what he should have done in the beginning helped her become a hero but Barry doesn't agree they keep bringing people into this life even though they know it's wrong Batman questions what happened to the hopeful optimistic Barry Allen he died with Wally West damn it always acts like he knows everything but Barry knows that he's just as clueless as everyone else the greatest trick that Batman ever pulled off was making people think that he always had a plan we need to stop this the price for wearing these costumes is too high but Batman knows we paid the price so that our loved ones don't have to but they do pay a price they pay the price because the heroes keep failing it's always that other mystery another villain another innocent in the cross fire another dead Robin flash says as he begins to leave the cave anger flashing in Bruce's eyes at least I never forgot that one of my partner's existed Barry turns anger in his eyes lightning cracking the cave can sense the danger it begins to activate countermeasures energy is shut at the speedster but he is too fast Batman has prepared but the flash is too fast stopping his fist inches from Batman's face I could have hit you a hundred times before you throw one punch Barry says as he leaves leaving Bruce alone in his cave returning home he finds a letter from iris she can't stay anymore she wanted to write Wally's obituaries but she realized that she was writing Barry's the hero rushes out into the night and in Central City the flash fights crime in Gotham Batman fights crime this is the life that they lead this is their life they could save everyone but in the end they are alone in the near future Batman sits a part of his computer with Superman at his back they saved the multiverse so many times but this time it's different they don't know who they can trust we can trust the flash right now as the original trickster james jesse stands in his hideout in central city he says his name is what people won't ever forget he is about to pull up the greatest con man has ever seen it will have everyone's eyes including the flash on him but who was James Jesse before trickster well that's what this story is about growing up James lived the life of his circus performer though it wasn't the one that he wanted you see James his parents made it clear to him that they weren't proud of him because of all the time he spent reading books they would tell him that he should be practicing the family business rather than wasting his time with those stories and his parents well they were nothing but lying cheats hell his parents named themselves the flying Jesse's trying to copy the flying Grayson's this was also after the Graysons accident and his parents just wanted to capitalize on their deaths James wanted nothing more than to lose himself in his books but time and time again his parents would literally drag him onstage to walk the tightrope the crowd could even tell that James didn't want to be there even though they would call out to not push the boy the crowd did nothing James would eventually have run away from that circus life but the circus life was still always a part of him he pulled up a con disguised as a lab tech at STAR Labs and he sold detective LexCorp but even then he lived that scam so long that he picked up a few things like how to make shoes that let him run on air which is how he got the name the trickster he would always try to pull one over on the flash but one day the flash said something you need a new gimmick everyone knows you're just a con man and the flash was right the tricksters axe who were growing stale normally he would just escape prison anytime that he was caught but when he was sent to iron Heights well everything changed James tried to escape by using his old tricks but warden Wolfe always caught him and beat him people began to forget about him even some new kids showed up starting to use his name that was it them the straw that broke the camel's back he had to get out and reclaim the title of the trickster but wolf well he had a way of breaking people and he told James that even after everything he had done he wasn't impressive if you're so great why doesn't anyone in Central City even remember you you're forgotten James Jessie wolf said and that's when things turned for the worst you see back in the circus James is scared of heights in fact he was so scared that there was only one escape route that he never took because he was scared of heights wolf was so mad to cover up his own skin he burned any evidence that James jesse was even there however it was something that happened after the show when he was younger that made him realize what the world really is while he and his parents performed there were people in the crowds pickpocketing everyone his parents are stealing from anyone that they could and when he asked how they did it they ignored him stating that if he wants to be someone he needs cash he must learn to deceive and to succeed they were right money is everything if you don't have it you're just a waste this new trick will be so great that the people of Central City will never forget about James Jessie ever they'll see they'll be so impressed but now we go to the current issue of the flash the current storyline continuing the story of the forces now lately death has been surrounding the flash and not just because he's fighting Blackhand and opal City this is just an outlet to stop a cult who actually worships death but what's really getting under the Flash's skin is that the purpose searching for just can't be tracked down hunter zolomon hunter was an enemy of Wally's that took up the name of zoom and now he's calling himself in the true flesh he's already got a head start on his quest and that's what the real problem is it's not a matter that hunter is faster than the flash it's that he himself is getting slower maybe he just needs to fall back into a case to take his mind off of things with everything that's recently happened with Batman and iris maybe he should just go home if you're wondering about that this is taking place right after a crossover storyline with Batman and I will link that down below commander cold an individual from the future who has come back in time using the name cold as his superhero alias and he's trying to help the flash left him a message stating that he was needed at iron Heights and that dropping off the Black Hand cult leader is a good enough excuse just to do that however when the flash gets the prison he notices something odd all of the guards they're well they're happy iron Heights was a very gloomy place so why is everyone smiling and looking so cheerful the guards tell them that they haven't had a new inmate in days in fact there hasn't been any incidents at iron Heights in the past few weeks flash shrugs it off calling out to wolf State and he knows that cold isn't his best friend or anything but as he heard from him at all Wolfe turns with the biggest smile on his face something very out of character for this man stating no I can't say that I have I'm sure commander cold is just fine thanks for delivering the new inmate will take good care of him as the cult leader has taken away he asks can he be taken to Arkham instead this place has given him the creeps flash thinks to himself that this cult leader is not the only one as long as he's known Wolfe he's never even cracked a grin ever flash heads back into the city to go to work but when he gets to the police department he sees everyone there is smiles as well he starts to wonder if maybe he's been away from central city too long he asks Kristen what's gotten everyone a good mood and she states asking what's wrong with everyone being in a good mood here she'll show him why everyone's in a good mood they both had to a holding cell and she opens up the door but there's no one inside the flash asks why is it empty and Kristen says that that's just it there hasn't been a single crime committed in Central City in weeks not even a speeding ticket flash looks around stating that that's impossible and that's when director Singh walks in yelling to the flash Joe jinx us and he smiles telling him huh just kidding it's good to see you Barry flash asked Sam isn't it a bit strange they haven't had any crime in Central City and Singh tells him that he should be careful for what he wishes for and just be happy the three head back upstairs where Kristen gets a text and shouts that her boyfriend is here Barry Allen meet my new boyfriend James Jessie Kristen runs over hugging him and James says that he's heard so much about the famous Barry Allen I would have come by iron Heights but that place gives me the heebie-jeebies flash stares for a moment stating that James looks familiar and James tells him that haha I've just got that kind of face I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other Barry sing and then grabs his coat stated that they're all gonna be heading down to the pub asking flash if he would like to go the flash tells him no he's gonna head home for the night and as he leaves he looks at all of the townspeople seeing them all happy he leaves for a few weeks in the city is better off I mean he wasn't expecting a hero's welcome but this is just too suspicious right where's he's just being paranoid he needs to find cold and this whole thing out he hasn't been able to get ahold of commander Cole since he got back why would he want him to go to iron Heights anyway so Barry changes into his costume and begins to track down colds last-known locations as the two of them have been connected he begins to feel out the frequency's trail and it leads him to an alley he looks around and sees some of colds broken tech on the ground and he thinks that that strange cold was very protective of his future tech he would never leave it just lying around he needs to go back to iron Heights and figure out exactly what happened so he returns to the prison where Wolfe tells him that he hasn't heard from Cole in a while and there hasn't been any arrests he should just relax just in the flesh hear someone calling out nobody looks over he sees the cult leader he vows telling him I want to thank you this place is wonderful I've never been so happy flash shouts asking what is happening here you were talking this way when you were caught what changed with no other leads the flash races back to the precinct to talk to Detective Burns who's recently been seeing cold she says that she'd rather not talk about it but don't worry she's happy flash tells her know she can drop the act where is commander colt Burns pushes flash into a locker asking why can't you just let me be happy please you must be happy flash these burns struggling to keep the smile but Burns turns around banging her head on a desk saying that it's much better if they're all just happy can't you see that Barry soon every one of the precinct reaches out towards flash telling him we just want you to be happy too later back at iron Heights James has turned to the prison into a giant circus where axel the newest trickster says that they've got some new people that need to be re-educated Kristen then runs up giving James a kiss Dayton that she has brought in her good friend Barry Allen he's always been a downer she knows he you can help him James tells it that Barry and the rest of their guests will be right as rain as soon as they stroll through our happy machines now now don't be shy soon the group walks through the cylinder like device and the flash steps out stating that he feels happy Kristen runs over asking if it's much better don't you feel great and the flash tells her I feel so happy right now one of the guards last skating okey dokey let's get everyone all back home but we can keep living out a life of joy and happiness while the group moves it very quickly ducks around the corner changing into his flash costume now he knows who James jesse is he's the original trickster and now that he knows what he's up against it's time to get to work he was able to trick his way through James's machine by keeping himself at a low level vibration so that it wouldn't affect him so it's time that they took a look around the place - but just then the flash gets an incoming signal from Cole did his location is somewhere off in the prison flash rushes down to the lower levels to see cold tie it up to a pole and as he gets there there's a loud boom axel jumps in with his boomstick can and yelling to the flash look at that flash flash asks what's going on but axel fires the cannon again rapping flash up in a sprinkle of flash easily breaks free asking when did he start working with James Jesse axel tosses a flaming alphabet block asking you mean my idol my inspiration when I heard the plan for James is tricked I knew I had to be there flash creates a tornado throwing the block back causing it to explode on axel asking what is James planning the explosion knocks axel out so flash hurries over to help cold stated that he's sorry for being late cold gets up telling him is not that it's the sage force James is using his tech with it to control the people flash asks is that what you called about and Cole tells him I didn't call you flash just then both flash and cold are trapped in a bubble with James yelling that prank was on me but you didn't think trickster would reveal himself as the greatest enemy hot flash flash tells him that he hasn't thought about him any years and James tells him that's the problem you know they pulled a scam on the devil right even still the people not remembering who I was it made it much easier to work behind the scenes to prepare for the big return one day I gift from the heavens came to me - strength force so when Axl came to me for help he told me all about the new forces and I was able to gather just enough of the siege force to make some new toys to play with flash tells him wait the sage force gun that I found at court amantes that was you James then motions to wolf telling him look how happy these people are wolf begins to snap out of his trances he lunges for James but James cracks him in the head telling him you got to be careful with that temper as the trance comes back wolf stands out telling him I'm sorry I'm not sure what came over me how about a better mood now James punches wolf down asking why don't you share that love fleet foot over there and tell him what happened tell him why everyone forgot about me wolf leans up from the beating stating James was an inmate here i George heard him for years using him as a guinea pig to test ironhide security when he escaped I buried the evidence all of it I made it to the James jesse was a ghost James stands up asking the flash do you see it now this is why I needed to set the stage where I trick worth my big comeback but cold holds his hands out creating a snowflake stating the problem with you using my own tech is it I'm a master of a too so I've got a few tricks up my sleeve the barrier shatters freeing the two of them and James jumps and throws exploding alphabet blocks yelling no fair you cheated flash chases after James telling him to turn it off but a cold that runs in stated that they need to be careful with how they do this James has been using the sage force for more than just making people happy he's controlling them to the people of central city I've been happy for a few days right those people will do anything to protect their happiness including killing each other for it as flash watches the monitors he sees everyone erupt into an all-out brawl they because to ask what has he done James fixes his coat asking who am I to question what makes people happy flash then gets ready to leave telling Cole to handle James while he heads out to help the people but as soon as the flash turns his back cold turns and shoots his cold gun at flash freezing him in place James starts laughing stating ah cold has seen the bright side of life too it was amazing how he thought you were winning for a moment flash James then squeezes a rubber chicken electrocuting flash and knocking him out telling him that he fell for the greatest trick of all time again a short while later flash wakes up when James is blowing a party whistle flash is startled and James yells he's alive blast shifts asking what is he going to do and James tells him that he's just watching his trick unfold see he could kill everyone that's something people would remember but death feels so small that's what it hit me I could show central city how fake their happiness really was that'll leave them all empty flash big is the vibrant through the ropes of ripping them all stating you know these can't hold me I'm gonna save these people from your sick games end but as he gets up he falls flat face first on the ground James asks how are you gonna do that after I major legs disappear and the flash glances down to see his have been cut off he starts reaching to where those legs used to be stated it has to be a trick it has to be a trick but as James leaves Colt says that he should be happy as a silver lining and everything you just need to know where to look flash shouts asking what did you do Nicole tells him we were set free before James came back into my life I was always angry mainly because I was stuck in your stupid time period but now there's no need to be afraid I miss my home so badly that that is all I thought about afraid is something bad happening to my friends every time I think about them it just makes me so so angry meanwhile on the rooftops of iron Heights James walks out to see his parents dating just look at it all son your greatest stage of all and you've won and you did it all for us back below cold stands up stated that he's not sure what happened he was thinking about the Renegades being hurt and suddenly James's spell wore off flash continues to reach for his legs stating that he needs help he can't tell if James really cut off his legs or it's all in his head so Cole tells him that he needs to think of something that will break the illusion think long and hard flash pauses for a moment and thinks carefully he came back to Central City because he wanted a distraction he wanted to run away from his failures and James's spell take that away sometimes it'd be easier to believe the trick she just give in to the magic and ignore what is really going on he's been ignoring his own feelings a lot lately it's not out of anger or fear or pessimism committing to himself that he knows that he can deal with it it makes him happy back up top James pushes his parents over the ledge shouting do you remember what you taught me to lie to cheat to deceive to climb no matter how afraid I was I did it all for you to make you happy just then the flash runs through the courtyard grabbing both of James's parents Damon the show's over James good thing that you are already at iron Heights is gonna save me a trip James sighs stating that it looks like he saw through the trick but it doesn't matter I still showed the citizens of central city that the cat sent inmates to iron Heights flash grabs James telling him to fix this or else and James asks or else what you'll never hurt me how about you use that speedy mine to figure this one out right now you give you to save the citizens of Central City or you'll stop the inmates I set free who have been stealing loot this entire time clocks a-tickin flash dozens the lights begin to fly and blind to the flash when he opened his eyes James is nowhere to be found so first flash runs both of James's parents off the island telling them to try not to ruin any more childhoods before running back in meeting up with commander cold cold says that he took a look at everything and James is way smarter than he should be he's ridges machine so that if they pull the plug at everything it'll end up killing them they need to use a small rig to reverse every single person under his spell one by one flash shoots up with cold makeshift rig and he begins to run as fast as he can to each and every person in the city he pushes himself harder than he has in months past the anger past the pain past the failures it hurts to run that fast but he can't stop now he has to save the city even if it means taking away their fake happiness and just as the flash reverses the spell on the last person the makeshift rig falls apart and he says that there's one problem now what about the Rogues cold flies in state and that he got word from the Coast Guard that the Rogues took everything back to iron Heights so flash turns and races towards the prison but as he gets close to the loud boom as the entire prison explodes the flash was too slow later as the media arrives one reporter says that they believe the explosion was to cover up James Jesse's tracks after his daring heist but even with James missing things are slowly starting to go back to normal Kristen and Singh gather enough evidence to build a case against Wolfe and he's put away in Belle Reve right next to Captain Cold saying has also reassigned to flash back to the crime lab so that he can examine the evidence from the iron Heights explosion every piece is just a reminder to him of what he's lost hopefully with this he can as flash opens up the door to his office he sees a man at a hood standing there and the man looks back asking if this is where it happened where his life changed flash tells in the area's off limits he's not sure who he is but the man turns back with a green glow in his eyes if he had a name it would be steadfast flash says that he knows that energy you of the still force I thought only Grod on the turtle had this still force I've been searching and as he walks he feels himself locked in position steadfast tells him that he should no longer go forward he must go back well the multiverses survived what is to come Barry Allen you must remember remember something that you have forgotten from your past a green light washes over the flash as he sees himself sitting in a room as a child and his mom shouting Bartholomew Henry Allen if you want to go back to the comic book store we need to leave right now the young flash throws his papers he runs out of the room yelling coming mom that's when there's a loud crack as lightning strikes as lightning strikes over the young Barry Allen's home he watches from a window sitting in his attic his mother Nora calls out asking what he's doing up there and Barry goes back to the old box of comics stating that he's just looking for something to read Nora looks out the window asking what's got him reading her old comics and Barry says that he's not sure it's just that the classic heroes are so cool good beating evil and all of that but as Barry looks down Nora lifts her head and sees a bruise and asks where did he get that from he tells her it's nothing he's not getting picked on or anything there's just some kids bullying someone and he couldn't stand there and do nothing right bad things might come of it in the future but he knows the heroes that he reads about would never let something like that get them down Nora hugs her son stating that he's always hopeful and whatever happens in this life never lose that please 15 years later on February 11 Barry heads downtown to process another crime scene with officer August Hart August looks at the man on the ground state a net from the looks of things the man was shot in the back of the head his gut says that it was a mob hit probably brought to his knees and then bang Barry looks at the position of the deceased man's feet in the blood spatter and says no the victim was killed running if he really wanted to become a detective he can't rush judgment on any case August last telling him that's why you're the best Barry but then a boy says that's the word on the street but Barry Allen it never gives me the time of day August then says that if it isn't iris west she shows up to these scenes so much that one might think that she's a serial murderer iris brushes him off stating that she's just here to chase a story and central city's favorite CSI as 100% a story it's just that every time she attempts to interview mr. Allen he dodges Barry begins to tell her that he can't say anything because there's still an ongoing case but autist pushes him stating oh it's okay Barry's being shy iris then says that she knows deep down that there's a headline in him but duty calls elsewhere this morning the next time that she sent the text though he better answer a short while later Barry heads into the lab to process the evidence when he mistakenly bumps into a man playing with his kids in the street Barry tells the man that he's sorry but the man tells him it's fine mistakes happen and a few seconds later the rain begins to come in and one of the man's children yells that it stinks the father says they shouldn't be out on the street after dark anyway but you know what the Sun will come out tomorrow Barry listen stated that he wished that he had shared that same sense of optimism it's nights like this that remind him of his mother in him reading comics in the Attic in fact that was the last time that he could remember being happy after her murder he worked so hard to learn everything that there was to learn about forensic evidence the court said that his father killed his mother and that the case was closed but there's no justice for her and now an innocent man sits in jail as Barry gets to work he gets a text from iris asking if he wants to grab something to eat he thinks about it for a moment just then lightning strikes through the window shattering the test tube and throwing the chemicals all over Barry's body that was February 11 now it's June 15 and Barry Allen awakens from his coma visions of the past startled him as he screams out from his bed knocking his plate of food over he tries to catch it to his surprise well he does the food the drink even the jello but how he tells himself he just needs to get home but before he could even think about it he's home he rushes back to his lab to figure out what's happening and that's when August hears something and asks who's there but before August knew it Barry had ran into the locker room changed and walked out wearing a tie the next day Barry sit down to try and process everything that is actually happening his body is the crime scene he just needs to put together the pieces his blood looks normal but the molecules have been energized his calorie intake has increased to make up for the increased metabolism he runs so fast that he sets fire to his shoes and if he vibrates his molecules at the right frequency can phase through walls but if there's even a slight error which there always is the object he's phasing through explodes he can't create tornadoes finding out a fast he can go and when he tries to anyway he burns through more pairs of shoes Wayne's tech donated fireproof equipment to the fire department so with those new shoes he should be able to find out what his actual top speed is so he readies himself and he runs 100 miles per hour easy 200 no problem it's actually starting to feel better good even forget the past in the science for a moment and just run and you know what it's kind of fun just then there's a loud cracking a goo and variants of tripping he falls sliding on the granite he hears a voice shouting hurry up Barry looks up to see an army wearing green capturing people and then a newspaper on the ground with the headline flash loses central city Barry asks what is this is it a nightmare and as water the soldier sees him it asks what he's doing out of the shell they tell him that he needs to come with them Barry steps back trying to figure out what happened and a red blur shoots by with a voice yelling damn it Barry you shouldn't be here the red blur stops and a man wearing a red uniform with a lightning bolt on it says when are we gonna learn how dangerous time travel is Barry's mind begins to race trying to understand what is going on as he looks at all of the horrible things around him the man stops him telling him I know what's going on with your head right now but trust me when I say this it'll all be okay Barry asks who he is and the man says I thought you would take a guess on the resemblance but I'm you well a few years closer to the finish line Barry smacks the old man's hand away stating no no no no this this isn't real this is a nightmare I'm still in the hospital right or did I die and the old man tells Barry slow down a second time travel could be a little disorienting you got to breathe but that's when a soldier yells it's the flash two of them old man flash grabs Barry telling him we gotta leave if there's one thing that I've learned over the years is that if you stand still to avoid crazy the crazy will come for you right now the priority is getting home if we stick around those turtle guards will catch up Barry says that he knew what he knew the future would be horrible that he'd screw up everything an old man flashed laughs I can't believe I was ever that pessimistic so Barry stops and trips asking it's true you're really the Barry Allen of the future an old man flash stops telling him people call me the flash these days fastest man alive Barry that asks how did you stop without tripping so old man flash tells him you got a slide into it and it's the to continue Barry that asks you're the future of me you're a superhero this is Sene I don't even like leaving my lab how do I become a superhero old man flash tells him I can't explain that but I can say that this has happened before right now our life is a loop that can't be broken if we were to create a time paradox we would destroy all of reality and we can't risk that but now that we've got a second to breathe we need to make sure that you know which timeline you're in so here's a few questions to get things straight who is iris Wally Wallace August who killed our mother Barry thinks for a second thing than that iris is just a friend he doesn't know anyone named Wally or Wallace August is a friend at the CCPD and he doesn't know who killed their mother to you old man flash says we both read enough comics you know how dangerous it is the mists of time no matter how bad it gets now that tower over there it creates an energy barrier over central city that drains all traces of speed from anything nothing can get in or out it's called the shell and it is the home to a man named the turtle turtle uses his powers to steal speed and energy from central city and its people I fought the turtle a few times over the years never took him seriously no one really did which wasn't a stick one day turtle appeared it he's took over central city other heroes tried to stop him but no one can get past the shell anyway I probably said too much as it is turtle hungers for speed we got to get you back home as the two stopped and said of some ruins some of turtle soldiers jump out stating that they knew that he would come for the turtles horde old man flash cracks his knuckles telling Barry it's been a long time since I've fought alongside another speedster and Barry stops him wait fight I do not know how to fight so old man flash smiles telling well looks like it's up to me then Barry watches as his older counterpart effortlessly uses the abilities that he's been trying to master and just as one soldier goes for old man flash Barry reacts he shouts to him to look out as he creates a tornado with his arm launching the soldier away an old man flash tells him not bad kid not bad but come on I could already see a head what we need and that's this baby Barry looks passed I'm asking a treadmill it's old man flash doesn't it's not just any treadmill it's the cosmic treadmill dangerous stuff but it's gonna help you get back to the correct time old man flash quickly begins to reassemble the torn apart treadmill and as he finishes he pushes Barry on telling him all right we're out of time it's good to see you but just remember what our mothers said next time you see iris say yes already now one seconds later there's a crack ooh and berries slides to a slowdown stating am i oh the hell's just happening I can't run like that again I I get the future so in the coming days buried desperately tries to recreate the treadmill with all of his self doubts he can't help but just shake and vibrate he tries to calm himself down and then it gets a message from iris asking for a meet-up he thinks about what old man flash said about just saying yes so he finally agrees and the moment he sees iris the shaking disappears a bad moment he gets ready to cross the street when suddenly a police car speeds by and then he hears a voice how dare you stand in the way of my destiny the police surround an older man but as they opened fire on on the man waves as I'm stopping the bullets midair he plucks them out stating you may call me turtle Barry tells him so that's that's the guy that's turtle wait what if I stop him now we can ignore that future just then iris jumps up her machine starts to run towards the action and as Barry watch as he finds himself in off a woman of no powers running in headfirst and unafraid but as she steps out of police car almost hits her when suddenly there's a red blur standing in front of her with everyone's slowing down Barry shouts to turtle that this is the end of the line Barry charges forward but as he swings he feels his body stop and the turtle smiles telling him no I don't think so but Barry's body frozen in time but turtle punches him and then stop stating that curious you are like me turtle throws Barry into the wall asking where did you get those powers that speed it's intoxicating but slow and steady always wins the race Barry tries to recreate the tornado but before he could finish turtle grabs him again throwing them back into the wall as he braces for they hid his body vibrates and he starts to phase through it Barry tells himself wait the last time that I did this suddenly the wall explodes and bricks begin to shower down on turtle time begins to pick up as the bricks fly all over and Barry quickly runs over to make sure that none of the bricks hit any officers or importantly iris turtle gets back up asking where am I I'll slow all of you to nothing but just before the turtle could activate his powers the officers tase him and knock him out as the police take him away Barry changes back into his street clothes telling iris that he's sorry for being late iris scoffs dating a central city girl doesn't like to be kept waiting Allen but don't take this as being mean or anything what happened to your face as Barry tries to think of an excuses to wear the Bruce and his Battlecam perm he blurts out that it was left over from the lightning in his lab he's a slow healer iris then says that she's pretty sure that he needs to get to work on the crime scene they can get some coffee some other time but Barry stops her stating how about dinner instead and iris tells him that this diner she goes to serves breakfast all day from that day on Barry worked using his powers for good while also trying to maintain a relationship with iris another month past and soon Barry started to leave a spray-painted lightning bolt at the scenes where he helped out of course you were to race by later to clean it up but it was to show people that there was someone looking out for them but one day Barry was trying to figure out a way to get into costume faster and that's when he made a ring in his apartment building IRA shells over the intercom surprise lesbian but what was I was doing here she's never been to his apartment before it it's a mess so Barry does what any one was superhuman speed would do Changez runs up her flowers cleans up his apartment and all before iris could even knock on the door at the duggars ready for their date night she sets down her bag and a picture falls out Barry grabs it asking who is this and she tells him that it's the man Clive gorkon a violent career criminal remember that crime scene from a few months ago that was John banks your cans partner she's pretty sure that they were setting up a heist in New York and killed him over it Barry begins to staged that maybe he can help her but iris snatches the picture stating no way don't forget the rules no work talk on dates just then irises phone goes off and as she reads the message she sighs stating that that's one of her sources it seems your kid is working with the new gang she's got to go Barry laughs stating that duty calls and iris tells him that she's just been working on this for months while everyone else chases the flash stories so Barry asks you're not interested in the flesh and iris kisses him on the cheek stating that she needs more evidence to decide central city has a lot of crime and it needs more than a costumed hero it needs hope so as she leaves Barry rushes to the lab to begin processing all of the evidence taken from the crime scene of John banks there was this powder on his shoes a controlled substance that is only available at Central City pharmaceuticals and with that knowledge hopefully he can very quickly sews down not to be seen as he spots climb and just before he could go in Irish out to him asking if she could have a word of him she would like to talk to about it all an associate of his John Banks Clive walks over stating that she could take a hike and iris asks did you murder him Clive grabs iris by the shoulder statement that she can come with them but iris kicks him and he pulls out a gonna do Pitts fire before iris could blink all of the bullets disappear and Clive at his new gang or tied up Barry runs home so that he isn't seen but as he stops to breathe he falls to the ground in a pool of his own blood shot Barry runs home so that he isn't seen and as he stops to breathe he falls to the ground in a pool of his own blood he costs feeling the bullet that got through inching towards his heart with every heartbeat he has to get the bullet out or he's going to die and the only way to do that is to vibrate his hand through his own body but if he does that it messes up well he'll cause an explosion and when it's in your own body that could be problematic however before he can make a decision does a knock at his door with iris asking if he's there it's her please open up Barry doesn't answer and iris goes on stating that she made a mistake tonight she chased a Dorkin down and he pulled a gun on her the flash saved them but other people could have died because of her and right now he's the only person that she can talk to Barry quietly vibrates his hand and reaches into his chest while iris is going on and after being extremely careful he pulls his hand out with the bullet she says you're not even there are you you're probably at a crime scene but as she turns to leave Barry notices something the wound in his chest well it healed without wasting any more time Barry steps out stating that he's sorry he was just in the shower he heard what she said by the way she runs into his arms and Barry tells her that it's okay everything's going to be okay iris next morning as iris leaves her work Barry can't help but think about turtle did stopping turtle than prevent the horrible future that he had seen are they still destined to eat everything he has to find out so he heads over to iron Heights and as he enters the room turtle says come to see da freak berry tells him no he works for central city crime lab and he needs to get his finger prints it seems the ones that they got earlier weren't any good turtle says that his fingerprints won't be in any system he's a nobody so Barry sets his things down stating that everyone is somebody he had a life before all of this turtle tells him he did once from a young age he was always a little smarter than the others he finished school early and became a scientist soon after that he met his wife and had a family but during his time as a scientist he discovered a mysterious energy one that kept the universe moving forward and never looked back the experiment was going as planned but then it accelerated too quickly and it became out of control he should have stopped it there but he could feel how powerful it was and he froze as time slowed and that's when there was an explosion the energy had done something to him it had taken something away slowed him down to a crawl his family stayed with him and they supported him but over the years they grew old while he stayed the same death never came he is immortal cursed to outlive his loved ones he tried to learn more about the energy so that he could control it his family loved him and worried that he was becoming obsessed but then they helped him realize that their love was what was holding him back through his family's sacrifice he learned that he could drain the forces that push life forward to help him get back to normal but it was bleeding so he planned and he ran experiments but he needed funds the bank robber was supposed to fix that but instead the flash showed up and stopped him but there's one thing that the flash could never outrun death and turtle will always be alive Barry that asks him why is he telling him this internal holds out his hand telling him I can feel a connection between us did you really think you wouldn't be recognized Barry pulls his hand away stating I don't know what any of that means and turtle tells them don't your secret is safe but know this I will make a plan it will take countless years but in the end I will win berry rushes out of the prison and back to the lab trying to figure out something that could stop turtle but there's nothing nothing that he can do to stop him if he lets the future happen again that it's all his fault just then iris knocks on the office door asking of everything's okay they were supposed to have dinner tonight Barry tries to clean up stating that he can't there's just too many cases that he's on and he needs to solve them maybe stop them from ever even happening iris says that he knows that he can't do that right he can't control the future no one can Iris then looks over at the desk and sees a picture and asks if this's about his mother's death if they're gonna work things out he can't hold back anything he asked to tell her what is going on so Barry begins to state that his mother she she was but before he could finish a bolt of green lightening strikes through the window throwing both Barry and iris to the ground Barry gets up hurrying to the window to see what is going on and that's when there's a cracking a boom Barry can hear the voice I told you that day you came to see me in iron Heights flash I win out on the street to the future turtle holds old man flash in Chains while he forces him to run the cosmic treadmill turtle calls out to Barry again telling him that he knows that he can hear him come out Barry quickly grabs iris by the arm telling her that they need to leave but iris pulls away stating that she can't she needs to get out there and get help someone has to chase his story she doesn't do it for the headlines she does it because people deserve to know the truth if he stayed still trying to avoid the crazy the crazy will come for him the words ring inside of Barry's head that's what the older flash told him when he was in the future but she's right it doesn't change the fact that what is going on is going to be hard to run from when his legs shake from bright out on the street turtle pulls in the chain telling Barry gaze upon your home it wouldn't feel right without you here to witness this seconds later there's a red blur as tornadoes sweep the guards off their feet and turtle smiles he is the young flash late Barre charges in telling him better late than never turtle slows berrytown punching it with his giant fists of energy stating no matter the age you always rush into things you do not know Barry stops himself from being knocked back further and tells himself the turtle is right he needs to use his speed and his head turtle then uses his energy sending a shock wave into a building snapping it in half telling him this is the day I take the Flash's hope the building begins to fall all around Barry as he runs through the gaps and circles around on turtle but just then turtle feels a tug on the chains and Barry picks up old man flash running away turtle shouts to his men to find them today will be the flashes her final race and a few moments later Barry stops inside his lab asking what happened old man flash coughs telling him that after he went back king turtle made him used the cosmic treadmill to follow that he drained his speed at the same time he already saw this happening no matter what they do they lose today Barry sits old man flash up asking what is turtle trying to do an old man flash says slow down time you need the connection between our two timelines constructing the shell here creates a tether back between the present and the future he's planning on using it to drag every flow of time and motion in the multiverse it's like placing an anchor in the present that will slam the multiverse to a screeching homes turtle already took my speed but he needs more there's no way for us to break this loop without risking a time paradox that's why I need to make sure the turtle never gets his hands on you he can never drain your speed you need to run or risk dooming all of reality to ruin Barry paws is asking that's my only option to do nothing it's just like the night my mother died I just stood there while the paramedics took her body away I could only watch but ever since then I've been pessimistic and afraid of the future but the future is here there's nothing I can do about it all man flash looks over at the old box asking if those are their mother's comics god we wanted to be just like them huh a superhero always knowing what was the right thing to do I was so afraid how could I have let things get so bad old man flash sets the comic book back down telling him tell me about iris what was your first date like I can't remember the details it was breakfast right very last telling him no it was dinner though we ate breakfast it was the first day that I fought turtle was it even sure it was the date but after that we walked in the park I used to be so worried about the future but with iris as we walked I lost track of time I knew it then after that night that she was the one the kind of person you only get to be once at a lifetime always brave no matter the risk she always runs into danger Barry then picks up the ring that he's been working on stating she doesn't just go round to me she inspires me and that's why I'm going after turtle old man flash gets up telling him it's now worth the risk turtle wants you to go if he wins the whole multiverse will be in danger Barry thinks back to what he said when he was younger that even if bad things could happen heroes never let something like that hold them back old man flash tries to stop Barry but Barry pushes him off shouting that's not what heroes do you told me to never forget what our mothers said sorry but this time I'm taking her advice Barry slides on the ring and as he runs it opens up revealing a costume up on the shell turtle looks out stating that he's waited a long time for this but just then Irish shouts the lettered go turtle turns back telling her that she would be perfect to tell his story you can tell everyone about what happened to me and how my family held me back iris scoffs stating that she would never put a story like that out internal laugh stating I know your future I know about your family your debts I could tell you everything but Barry shouts you are talking to anyone and I'm done running away he runs into wearing the current day costume with turtle telling him this is new are you finally ready to hand over your speed Barry stop sub asking do you know what the first thing that you said when we met was and the turtle tells him it was end of the line which reminds me you did teach me something over the years that not everyone holds me back just then Barry can hear turtle's voice speaking but much slower the present-day turtle steps down slow and steady wins the race and flash dies at the finish king turtle fires off an energy blast to slow Barry down shouting this is my destiny I've been plotting for this moment for ages I don't want to just control the future I want to control all of time bear recovers in the head stated that he might be the king of central city in the future but he's gonna be stopped here today iris watches the fight as she sees everyone down below in Chains resisting the soldiers she tells us that the people need to know the truth about what is happening it may be dangerous but if flash isn't giving up neither is she she grabs one of the shock batons and slams it into the control panel when suddenly everyone's chains break the people start to rally together yelling that they have to help the flash no one takes over their city Barry punches into king turtle telling him you're just a small man who blames everyone else for his own problems king turtle stumbles back telling his younger self handle the revolution will I take care of the flash once and for all as turtle walks at the stairs to handle iris king turtle grabs Barry telling him you should have run away in every timeline you escaped to save yourself the future is finished king turtle hits Barry with another blast of energy and Barry thinks back to what his mother said that he was always hopeful he tells himself that he can't give up now the future flash was right Turtles power is too much he has to run with the people they're not giving up if central city can face this head-on so can he Barry stops turning back a running headfirst into king turtles energy but this time it's different as his body is being ripped apart as king turtle steals his speed it engulfs him with fear making him feel trapped and afraid but the heroes never let that fear get them down right now he knows who his hero is and that's iris she works every day so that people can get the truth so that everyone's story is told having her in his life showed him that there can be a better tomorrow he will move time and space itself for her he knows that he could lose he knows that he could die but that was King turtles mistake he needs to race directly into that fear he needs to ignite the speed inside to find the one thing that King turtles powers can never take away from him hope as Barry breaks loose from King turtles energy king turbos shouts impossible your speed should belong to me Barry runs by punching turtle again grabbing iris stating this time the rabbit wins after setting iris down with the others he runs back up running into the shell but he can feel something as he runs and he blasts past insane images they begin to show him that he's a part of something bigger than himself something that started before him and will outlive him now that his lightning is everywhere he no longer fears the future in fact he could speed all of time and space in just a few seconds and take everyone with him to the future everyone except turtle it will trap turtle's powers into the past and skip the time paradox of the future flash beard before it can happen as Barry does just that king turtle and old man flash begin to fade all men flash fills himself leaving it he laughs ha ha not bad kid soon Barry stops running as he slides into the new future king turtle is gone and he can take that horrible future with him he can't control or predict the future but he knows that today Central City and all of its citizens are safe except for one the younger turtle falls to his knees asking what happened who are you iris grabs one of the shock batons telling him to stay down but Barry in his street clothes helps turtle up stating it's all right it's all over IRA shells for him to get away he could be dangerous but Barry helps turtle stating he could be but maybe with some help he could have a bright future ahead of him dinner later February 11 flash day Barry watches as a parade for the flash passes by thinking back to everything that just happened the time loop was broken the future is what he makes of it he's still haunted by his mother's death and how his father is unjustly behind bars doubts fill his mind will he ever be the hero that he needs to be the future flash was a great hero but even he faltered that could have been him he can never lose hope as Barry watches iris calls to him asking if he's really working on Flashdance it looks like he took her advice and finally fixed the window berry leans in to kiss her when suddenly he hears someone yelling gross there he asks if someone's with her and she tells him yeah they're kind of mad that they were brought along get over it this is my boyfriend - Barry Allen - kids walk up and iris says these are my nephew's Wally and Wallace they're both visiting today so that we can see the flash parade Wally here is the President on the flash band Club in his own town and just then iris his phone goes off and she sighs telling herself that she needs to take this she can take Wallace but can Barry watch Wally for a moment as iris hurries off Barry says so there's a flash fanclub and while he doesn't yeah I read all of irises articles about him I was kind of with the Flash's show up so I could tell him that the flash helped me through the hard times well I showed me that there's always hope for tomorrow he's like something out of a comic book I'm pretty sure the flash heard that and it's probably gonna make his year but what if I were to tell you that uh me and the flash are friends meeting Wally there made Barry for the first time in a long time feel optimistic he knows he has a long road ahead of him and it will be bumpy at times but if he remembers this year he can run to the path to be a hero that he needs to be back in our present storyline where Barry was back in time trying to learn what he could about the still force he gasps then he asks what was that my first year what happened to stedfast stops I'm telling him I showed you the past your true past time on this world has been manipulated Barry asks who are you instead fast pulls down as her telling him my name is steadfast the new avatar of the still force allow me to give you a glimpse into your own past so that you may understand why I have shown you these visions forever I chose a life of Solitude until the force barrier was broken and I was cursed with the still force and the knowledge of time that comes with it in the past the still force was used for selfish gains but now it is my life's mission to change that now do you trust me Barry Allen Barry meals down before him telling him yeah steadfast sits with him and tells him about the new forces how the strength the sage and the still force are connected to the Speed Force and the role in which Barry is to play in the future and when they were done he went to work a short while later over the construction site of the flash museum some steel beams begin to collapse and before the workers could get to safety Barry yells safety first a few of the workers pause asking if this is coffee Barry tells him yeah figured you could use a pick-me-up but you know it's a beautiful day you should all be with your family and the foreman shouts you heard the man clear out once the site is clear Barry gets to work putting together the museum as well as making a few changes to the statues commander cold stops by asking if everything's okay and Barry tells him that he's good cold asks if he's done now Barry looks out stating that that's the thing the flash museum will never truly be done I'm gonna need your help with some special upgrades the challenges that we face will be great and we're gonna need allies to find ways to work with our enemies there's gonna be good days in bad days tests of a hope of the legacy that we've built there's darkness in my path and I can feel myself racing toward the hardest time in my life but I'll never give up no matter the danger that the future has in store for me now you may think that that is the end of our story the flash getting ready to work with the strength the sage the still force to complete his goals but right now in DC Comics there's a special event at the year of the villain and if you want to know how we've gotten to that point go check out our Justice League videos but all of these issues around this time have an epilogue and today we're going to tell you Lex Luthor's oper - Captain Cold and the original Rogues Leonard snart captain Cole he had a team once weather wizard collider mirror master heatwave that was his crew they were the best crew a no-good crook named Captain Cold could ever ask for they took what they needed when they needed it - told the world to go to

black market with this maybe Waller will think that we all died on her damn suicide squad we can be free you know what will happen if you run snakebite asks what happened to the captain cold that I heard about the one who would stick it to the man every chance he got where's the rope snakebite turns and runs back stating you might be contented living this life of servitude but Waller is not my master Cole doesn't bother running after him because he knows what it's about to happen as a client of boom a snake bites head explodes cold picks up the book and he begins to make his way to the extraction he gets on the helicopter and returns to Belle Reve turning over his weapons and heading to the south he figured when he got here he'd make the best of it be a real team player but watching his teammates die got old real fast after a while he was just going through the motions doing whatever he could to keep up a living playing it's safe just like his good-for-nothing old man his dad was just a loser who hated his family he took one of her hardships threw at him and gave up cold new to be nothing like him he was gonna be somebody take care of his family and but before he could finish that thought a guard opens his cell telling him to get up time to die Cole tells him I just got back from a mission and the guard says Jesus look like I care special request for you loser cold asks who are you calling a loser I could kill you right now the guard says yeah well you won't before I got here the word was that you are cold inside and after watching you come back from all these missions as the lone survivor we all knew what you were inside did cold walks up asking do you want to just get it over with then pull the trigger end it kill me blow up my day on the head do it that's when there is an explosion but not the brain bomb in Cole's head the guards a headless body falls to the ground and a second explosion knocks out the wall cold gets up asking what is going on is it snowing a small drone flies and telling cold do not be alarmed I have sent this drone from the Legion of Doom headquarters to free you to deliver a message it snows because we used the technology that I have created I wanted you to see what could be done if you had dreamed bigger than you have in the past Leonard snart we have fought side-by-side we have walked the path of the righteous that would give us a better future and we were both wrong Cole asks is that so word and Bellerive is that you kicked the bucket and Lex tells him I have evolved I have come with an offer your freedom is just the beginning I know what your cold heart has always craved Cole tells him I'm game for whatever you're up to under one condition the rogues get the same deal first I take care of my family then we take care of the flash everyone has heard the line that just before you die your entire life flashes before your eyes but for the flash he was given an opportunity to relive a very important year of his life a time where he lost but found hope and right now in Central City Kid Flash and Avery could use a little hope I star pit and girder where the two young heroes down everything that they throw out the bad guys just seems to bounce off but as tarpit comes to the end of the fight there's a red flash that speeds by as torpid slams his fist into the ground flash picks up Kid Flash and Avery telling them I thought the Rogues are smart enough to skip town but not the mighty tar pit and girder huh Kid Flash shouts to flash asking where have you been you can't just roll it and steal our thunder the flash tells him you know I was just lending a helping hand these two are all yours but I will remind you that hot tar doesn't react well with metal Kid Flash because he used his powers to push tar pit back telling him you might not have said it this is another one of your flashbacks isn't it and Avery runs up to the other side of girder telling Kid Flash hey we don't have tied you to bait how about we see what happens in tar pit and girder hit each other Avery positions yourself pushing girder into tar pit and as the tubing into touch they begin to fuse into each other Goethe begins to shout that the tar is burning him and tar pit yells at the metal does it feel real good either and as the two stop struggling flash asks do you promise to behave yourselves they both shout yes fine whatever just do something already so as the police arrive flash says that STAR Labs has the right tool to separate tar pit and girder they'll be fine Kid Flash then says that that's nice well see ya and flash Topsham going whoa whoa whoa hang on a second there's something I need to show you Kid Flash asks why would I follow you anywhere you would trade us all and hey every says yeah why should we last time I checked when there was a family feud you just up and left us flash tells it yeah yeah and I'm here to correct that this is about more than my past mistakes Kid Flash Dan says that he'll need more than a smile and words to show that he's changed and he'd better not be doing this so that Irish will talk to him again flash pauses and tells him no not at all me and Irish will talk to are both ready just come with me and I could show you just how hard I've been trying how about it so flash takes off with Kid Flash and Avery following close behind and is the to stop in front of a large building avery looks up asking you've rebuilt it flash tells her yes the flash museum is back up and running with a few changes the three head back inside and flash tells them I felt like something was missing something that we needed as a team and this well this is it Kid Flash asks we needed a painting that's it you brought me here for that flash vibrates is armed through the porch you're telling him yes but just wait what's on the other side flash disappears through the wall in Avery asks you buying it so Kid Flash sighs this better be good once they go through the painting and vibrate through the wall Kid Flash looks at the giant lab it asks you made a bat cave commander cold an alternate version of Captain cold from the future tells them actually it's a speed lab it uses my future tech to trap down to skate rogues follow tricksters plans and keep an eye on new force users and more whenever we need to protect central city and beyond Kid Flash says that it feels a lot like an absentee dad showing up with a new toy thinking that all will be forgiven we have a lot of questions Barry and for starters what's the deal with the guy in the robe giving me weird vibes flash explains that this is steadfast the still for Cesar he's been helping Barry understand the new forces that have been unleashed and that are affecting the world but not only that there's not gonna be any more lies between us Wallis whatever questions you have I'll answer them all Kid Flash that asks do you think you can handle my questions and flash takes off his mask telling him go ahead fire away meanwhile over in Barcelona a man runs through the streets that the police find the corner him inside of a local pizzeria one officer draws his gun while the other tells him to be careful he ripped to the gas line out of the wall the first officer says it'll be fine he doesn't have his flamethrower do you heat wave but heat wave holds up a match telling him don't need it then he strikes it the entire building explodes and more officers rushed to the scene and begin to surround heatwave telling him to freeze but that's what another voice asks isn't that supposed to be my line suddenly a blast of cold air because to freeze the officers in place and heatwave asks did you get your powers back cold and captain Cole tells him nah my time behind bars in Belle Reve inspired me to upgrade my tech as he wave takes the flamethrower from him he asks where did this beauty come from captain Cole tells him Lex Luthor gave me the resources to up my game and made me an offer I can't refuse but this is too much heat wave last turning the flamethrower on you can save it whatever it is I'm all-in but what's next captain cold starts freezing the police cars asking what do you think we're getting the gang back together back at the speed lab Kid Flash asks what do you mean we're all getting slower flash explains that the force barrier fell and the sage the still and the strength forces were freed things for Speed Force users have been getting worse with every step that they take Kid Flash thinks back to when he did think that something was off fighting TARP it has never been that hard before but what's wrong with the Speed Force steadfast ants ISM the Speed Force is dying the new forces were never meant to be freed their very existence hurts the Speed Force and Kid Flash yells we can't lose our powers it's like the worst time for that the Rogues are on the run flash tells them yeah and so is hunter zolomon he's out there as well now there are more dangers in the world than ever before and we need to operate smarter it's time we ran again as a family Wallace it won't be easy but believe in me what do you think the flash waits for his answer that's what he feels that something is wrong the Speed Force may be getting weaker but he's still the fastest person in the room and then it hits him he can feel it before he can see it the black flash the black flash is faster than anything he's ever encountered it for and normally he be used science or make use of his powers in a clever way but right now there's no time flash punches the black flash into the computers and Kid Flash asks what the hell is that commander Cole tells them that is death and the future it's written that the black flash would appear whenever it's a speedsters time to become one with the speedforce flash readies himself telling him that means that what if us is gonna die and as long as I'm here it's not taking the black flash runs past the group with Kid Flash shouting Barry it's not after us black flash grabs steadfast by the throat shouting new forces boss joy as black flash spins steadfast down to absorb his strength flash rushes over shouting no one is dying today he quickly snatches steadfast asking why aren't you using this still force to fight back and steadfast tells them because the black flash can use our forces against us the more we use them the easier it'll be for him to track us flash Sam yells to the others all right I have a plan criss-cross formation on kid flashes mark soon the three speedsters begin running in different directions handing steadfast to one another until the black blast screams creating a vortex knocking Kid Flash an Avery to the ground he sees steadfast on the ground he grabs the robes and the head of a mannequin rolls out the black flash begins to panic looking around for someone and when he finds no one he screams to vibrating out of existence up ahead steadfast tells flash or you were lucky and viewing my cloak with the still force or a worked I can no longer feel the black flash pursuing us flash asks um how long though if it's hunting the new force users by their powers what are you supposed to do not use them commander cold radios in well I did a scan and it seems the black flash is gone the only information we have in the future on this guy is that he's trying to protect the Speed Force it would appear that the black flash is acting as some sort of anti body it's trying to save the Speed Force by killing off the other force users flash tells commander cold to keep searching they might not be seeing the black flash because it went for another target so Kid Flash a navy run back to the speed lab asking what can they do to help alarm goes off commander Cole tells them that ever since trickster destroyed the iron Heights he's been monitoring police feeds and scanning for any mentions of escaped inmates if they want to help they can round up all of the escapees wild flash deals with the black flash meanwhile over at corto Maltese shark bites down on the strength force users arm for yours ax asking would you like to be mrs. York the ORS that says it's a shame really I've been working so hard on my anger management issues my therapist is real gonna be disappointed as she widens up shark's mouth he tries to ask what she is doing and there's a loud crack any mumbles my good dog Fiona then throws shark into the sea telling him I hope you like drink it through a straw now flash what do you want flash stops telling her we don't have to talk here but we do have to go the orsa asks why would she go anywhere with someone that she doesn't trust steadfast walks up telling her flash is correct we're all in danger the forces that we each control have always been at war and with war comes death death will not rest until all of the forces are destroyed as steadfast energy radiates for yours ax tells him that she believes him it's like her strength force is reaching out to him fine where do you want to go now flash tells her that they have to go to Jean diya and find psych so a short while later at Sandia psych scales a building and watches as a grouper men ask what a foreign dignitary is doing in a corrupt city like this let's have a look at that's when a red flash zooms by and Psyche shouts damn it flash you can't just pick up a guy like that soon flash stops running settings psych down telling him meet for yours instead fast the force users like you and you're all in great but Slyke stops him telling him how about we just cut to the chase man he uses the sage force to read the Flash's mind and when he sees the black flashy shouts holy crap the hell is a black flash the ores that seize the projection asking is that what's chasing us and flash tells everyone all right see come we can work together and but psych stop some he'll know you're lying you have no idea to stop this this monster it won't stop until we're all dead as long as we don't use our powers they can't follow us and that ain't happening come here steadfast Sikes tears into steadfast eyes and as he lets go steadfast begins to attack flash and for yours an under Sikes command psyche then begins to run shouting hope you don't mind having stedfast used as bait enjoy the fight suckers steadfast turns because the blast flash and for yours are with the still force and flash yells your kind of get us all killed in sight stops asking really you saw that thing right that black flash wants to kill us all to save the Speed Force a flash of dodges steadfast attacks he tells psych I don't want to do this we could stop the black flash but we have to work together but for yours that punches the ground knocking psych over telling him just cut the positive act if the black flash wants to kill this dummy he's gonna have to get in line while those two begin to fight flash charges at steadfast telling him I hope this works when I relived my past battles of turtle I learned that the Speed Force and the still force are connected a steadfast slows flash down flash transfers of speed energy into steadfast blasts and sends it back shocking steadfast back to his senses he begins to fall over and flash catches them telling him I'm sorry about that gave me a bit of speed to help you snap out of it instead pass tells him you shouldn't be the one apologizing I abhor violence and regardless of our opposite forces I would never willingly attack you as Flash help steadfast outf yours our climbs over a rock asking are you done yet site ditched us steadfast and says he's trying to look for Sikes force but it seems to have disappeared he may be using his powers to mask his presence from everyone and flash says that if he's using the sage force then that's gonna put a bull's-eye on his back for that black flash if he keeps using his mind control powers he's a dead man later back at the speed lab commander Cole tells everyone that is just as he thought after some testing each of the forces are in a chaotic state they shouldn't all be on earth at the same time the black flash is a defense manifestation of the Speed Force itself not a user it's dying and it's giving off the same signature as the flash the flash asks if that's shown and he should be able to track the black flash what he appears right and commander Cole tells him that is correct flash thinks for a moment and then says I've made up my mind effective immediately steadfast in forza you cannot use your powers yours are shouts no way the strength force will stop the black flash dead in its tracks commander Cole says that's the thing you can't and the flash archives there are few details other than the fact that every flash has encountered this thing at least once and sure you might be able to hold it off a little bit but in the end nothing can stop it flash sighs stating you gotta find a way and commander Cole tells him I know all about this hope and optimism thing that's going on but a smile is not gonna save the day here flash this is death incarnate flash gets up to tell him I'm not gonna fight it I'm gonna out race it but the Speed Force dies the black flash will die as well so he walks off with steadfast telling him that if that's the case there will be no more flashes and flash tells him no you'll be alive no one is dying because of the Speed Force one I'm gonna go find psych yours or reaches out telling them hey this is our fight - we're coming with you flash but at that moment commander called freezes both for yours it and steadfast telling them sorry but flash is right you'll thank me later flash looks back at commander Cole tells him those are powered dampening restraints one of my favorite tools in dealing with the reverse flash flash asks him how long is it gonna hold and commander Cole tells them an hour maybe after that for yours is gonna snap it like a twig you might want to figure out what's gonna happen before then but before he could finish an alarm goes off and commander cold yells there's a spike at Speed Force energy it's a black flash seconds later over in Scotland psych stands on top of a moving train telling him I just got to keep moving I can live on this dream for years and as flash runs he can feel the black flash getting closer and closer and then run past him a psyche is crawling down into one of the cars the lights go out and then back on it Kennedy can sense it and he says I could sense you what kind of trick are you boom oh my god no flash jumps onto the train car and as he heads inside the black flash is draining the sage energy until psych is no more at the speed lab located at the flash Museum Fuhrer shouts they're to be released at once since commander cold has them pinned down there he pulls out his gun telling them that those restraints are for their own good there to keep them safe from the black flash if they use their powers he'll find them for yours the big is to struggle as she flexes her muscles breaking the restraints asking who's gonna keep you shape once I'm free where is the flash just then a red blur stops and separates the two of them as the flash tells them I'm here and that was too late everyone stops to look at the body of psyche and his arms and fiora's says that there's no way that that is really him this has to be one of his illusions Sikes death is on you flash you should have let us come as fioors it gets ready to swing the flash creates a vortex knocking her down shouting okay that is enough there is still a chance to defeat the black flash the orsa slowly gets up telling them she thought the Speed Force was getting slower in commander Cole tells her that it is or at least it was scans showed that the Speed Force is actually getting stronger now flash then tells them it is I felt it gets stronger once sike died after getting psyched up onto the examination table the flash asks if that sage force is really dead commander cold looks through the readings and that he turns back telling him not quite the sage force was burned out of sight but it's more like the black flash uncoupled it and destroyed its connection to the Speed Force currently there are no traces of the black flash what's me which means it's probably retreated inside of the Speed Force waiting for the next opportunity to strike a force user flash then turns to for yours are telling her that they're just gonna have to beat the black flash that if they're going to beat the black flash they have to understand why the new forces are killing the Speed Force if they work together if they share their knowledge of the forces maybe they can beat this thing viewers of smiles telling him that he's always so optimistic they want to learn about the strength force then they could talk about it all day inside the strength force she punches the ground with a loud cry kaboom and the flash shouts asking what was that she lasts telling him you're not the only one that could summon portals commander Cole tells him that he's going in his tech should be able to scan for any flew of what they find inside flash tells him they need to hurry a show of power like that is going to attract the black flash and as commander cold enters the portal Forza stops looking back telling them that she knows that she called him naive in the past but she's putting her faith in the Flash's optimism right now ones for yours it disappears steadfast turns to the flash you know that there's nothing to study inside of there you just wanted to hide us because it's unlikely that we're gonna make it out of this alive flash laps on his cowl telling them no one else is dying no one steadfast the black flash is a part of the Speed Force and it's possible that the black flash is using me to find the new force users whatever the case you cannot use your powers just as flash and steadfast phase out of the museum the flash looks over to see Irish standing there staring right back at him flash tries to find the words to say something but iris holds out her hand too steadfast telling her that her name is iris West flash pulls iris aside telling her that he's happy to see her but this really is not a good time iris asks it always isn't a good time for you huh Kid Flash has been captured by the Rogues with Avery right the flash Museum was rebuilt so I figured that you were working together again I just wanted to check in on you Kid Flash has been capturing the Rogues in Avery right the flash Museum was rebuilt so I figured that you were working together again I just wanted to check in on Kid Flash but there's something else that I wanted to talk about and it can't wait We Need to Talk About Wally flash drives pushing himself to talk but he tells her that he can't talk about Wally iris takes his hands asking you can't or you won't you keep ignoring it what happened to back at sanctuary where Wally killed everyone it was horrible Wally might still need our help my memories are a mess there's Wallace and there's Wally but maybe we can steadfast begins to use this still force telling her that he can help he can help her relive the true memories just as he did with the flash and flash yells no you can't use your powers steadfast steadfast stops telling him I'm sorry and iris asks wait what are you talking about my true memories the flash begins to tell her that he'll explain later but before he could even finish the sentence he feels a presence running towards the flash spins back yelling to steadfast you got who but before you could even finish that hunter zolomon runs telling him a long time no see were you expecting someone else blast begins to create another vortex but hunter last telling him you're a hard person to follow but if just one thing that being an FBI profiler has taught me it's not to watch the person of interest it still watch their families hunter easily moves out of the Flash's attack range and Graham's steadfast to by the neck flash begins to shout stop your daughter to see what you're about to do but hunter snaps his fingers creating a giant explosion telling him it's tragic how far you let the flash name fall but for now I'm just gonna take the still force user off your hands as hunter speeds off flash hardly has a chance to catch up when suddenly the black flash begins to run behind them but instead of going past the black flash lambs flash against the wall asking where is steel force flash doesn't answer and the black flash throws him into the computers telling him stay out of my way meanwhile else were steadfast here's the slightly distorted voice of Hunter asking why did you not struggle why did you not defend yourself steadfast looks up with a black eye telling him it is not in my way I've seen the horrors of war I know what happens when one rushes into action without thinking hunter stops vibrating telling him huh we have so much in common we both know about suffering but what if I could make it all go away what if I could use your powers of the still force to fight back steadfast tells him you must understand if you possess this still force the black flash will comfort you hunter hunter tells him I know and I'm counting on it back with the flash he runs holding iris and she asks why he didn't just say that the Speed Force is dying did he not want to worry her flash says that he doesn't know all the facts and some of that is not to worry her yes but also it's not like they've been talking much iris tells him trust her after all of this there's going to be a long hard talk Hunter's done a lot of messing things up for our families but we can't let the black flash kill him flash tells her that she's right that's why they're going to find out where hunter went Argus has a list of all of hunters files but they're confidential making them hard to access since Argus was too droid the ruins were transported to a different location one with a lot less security flash loudly stops in an unmarked warehouse filled with boxes telling her that every shred of evidence is in this room it begins to pull all the files listed for hunter zolomon and if you guys don't read them all hunter graduated at the top of his class and became an FBI profiler so that he could track down killers like his father he met his wife Ashley at the academy and his father became his mentor Hunter was on the fast track to becoming one of the best profilers in the country until he encountered the clown a notorious serial killer hunter thought that he had the perps profile down but he was certain that guns were not the clown's MO but Hunter was wrong it ruined his whole life and sent him on a path to darkness however the issue is the gun used to kill hunters and mentor had two sets of fingerprints on it one belonged to the clown and the second couldn't be identified at the time if we were to run those fingerprints through the Justice League's database then maybe as the computer scans and it pings the flash and IR stare at the screen and lash says if this is correct we have to find hunter now back with hunter at the abandoned house words mentor was killed he shouts this is where it happened this is when my life was taken from me and no one was there to help me fix it it was a different timeline than this one yes but we can both feel it fright death no matter what is done death always comes what if I had the still force powers would I be able to change that that fast tells him that he will never allow him to have this don't worse so hunter punches steadfast into the wall and because to beat into him asking what if I rip it from your core but before hunter can land another punch the flash punches him yelling I won't let this continue the to barrel out of the house with hunter telling him you should want me to win especially since last time we went head-to-head it didn't exactly win flash the strength force is making me stronger the sage force makes me smarter and I'm already faster than you hunter stops hitting flash and wraps his arm around the Flash's neck asking is this how he Oh Bart Thawne did it all those timelines ago ever wonder how that Snap felt on your mother's neck as hunter squeezes sted baskets of shouting stop I will not allow this to continue the still four stops the two of them at Hunter's my telling him I knew this would draw you out of your shell and it begins to slowly make his way towards steadfast steadfast asks how are you resisting that still forced so much an hunter tells him I'm using every bit of speed force to do it and now that I have felt the still force we are connected which means those powers are up for the taking hunter crab steadfast by the army because to drain this still force out of him and then he tosses the body aside telling him thanks kid flash rushes over to check on steadfast but hunter grabs him by the leg and runs off yelling don't wory steadfast we'll be fine but now that I have this still force is somewhere that I need to go and as they come to a stop hunter yells this is it welcome to the forever force it exists outside of space and time back when the cosmic treadmill exploded it gave me my powers I got a small taste of this the ability to manipulate time itself I will be the greatest flash that ever lived no the greatest flash in the multiverse flash kids are telling him you can't do this you can't change the past the cost it's too high hunter a doctor tells us oh you misunderstand the pain of losing my wife hurts but I gave up on changing that a long time ago flash stops our moment and tells them you knew you knew of you absorbed all the forces the black flash would come for you the doctor tells us that's right every flash has allowed death to take them but what better way to prove that your hero the defeating death itself no more suffering no more pain come at me death I'm ready and the black flash races at Hunter lunging towards him the flash yells for him to look out and jumps in the way of the attack hunter spins around and begins to beat into the black flash you've seen all of the new forces to rip him a heart but flash struggles to get back up telling hunter to stop the problem is Flash's voice cannot be heard as black flash extends his arm grabbing hunter by the head as the forces are slowly being sucked out of Hunter blast gets up releasing a concentrated speed force blast knocking black flash away freeing Hunter flash then holds at his arm to help Hunter up telling him we've only got a few seconds but hunter smacks him away I I'm the one who will free the flash family from death this is my destiny my father was a serial killer the clown killed my mentor all that death led to this flash points off into the distance telling of no look the forever force that we are in it can allow us to look through time this was never your destiny Hunter images begin to swirl and hunter sees one that stops before him it shows the clown being handed the gun by eobard thawne the real reverse flash orchestrated the death of a hunter's mentor which caused hunter to become the other reverse flash until now when he's decided to become the ultimate flash flash tells hunter you were right the clown didn't have a gun reverse flash gave him the gun eobard manipulated your future to turn you into another reverse flash and then into this the keeper of all the forces hunter stumbles back asking why why would a yo bar to ruin both our lives and flash tells him I don't know the answer to that but when I was searching for you I came across that gun hunter stands there staring at the image but the flash grabs them and because to run telling him look we got to get out of you're hunter unless we fix the force barrier the black flash will continue to come after you there's no way to do that unless we work together Wally once said that you are a good man one who went bad only because of the tragedies in your life which we now discovered are orchestrated by the real rivers flash but we can leave that in the past and move on hunter begins running telling him I know how to fix this how I can fix this Barry I have to sacrifice myself to repair the force barrier last shouts telling him wait there has to be another way I won't let you die and black flesh slowly passes through flash and Hunter calls back that this is the only way he can fix this and only he can do this himself because he has all four forces it has to be him find out why yo Bart did this to us berry the real reason and tell Wally I'm sorry I wish that him and I could have stayed friends flash reaches out yelling stop and Hunter tells them this is what flashes do right we sacrifice ourselves to save the day and with a thundering crew raka Kaku hunter turns to white and he fades away flash stops and he looks around he realizes that hunter did it the forest barrier is fixed the black flash runs around looking for him but he can't find him and he turns his focus to the flash flash tries to run to keep ahead but his powers are fading from before but with his power is fading from before the black flash grabs them but he begins to shout as the black flash tries to steal the Flash's power his shining light can be seen and then lightning strikes with a loud crack outside the flash Museum stedfast feels a chance in the air and he asks if the black flashes gone iris grabs I'm asking what did you say where is flash so steadfast looks up at the cloudy sky and he sees Perpetua looking down he screams that there is something wrong the past the future the very multiverse it's all drawn iris helps that best to his feet and gets him inside but before Iris can even ask what's wrong there's a massive explosion from outside and the bodies of Kid Flash and Avery flying in steadfast shouts that this is the end this is the end of everything Irish runs over to Kid Flash and says that they were fighting them iris asks who and that a shadow looms over and a voice tells her we didn't believe Luther about this whole do wins thing but now I believe iris looks up to see Captain Cold with the rest of the original rogues the giant doom symbol floating in the sky and there you have it now you might have a couple of questions like the Batman versus the flash sequence that was actually a part of a tie-in to another thing
