of that he is currently waiting for word from Batman or Wally about the unknown person that currently took 10 years away from this super heroes lives Wally has gone off to see the Titans that figure it out from that side while Batman is doing his own investigations Barry would love to get on the case himself but there is plenty to keep him busy in Central City and this is the problem that Barry is having with so many crimes going on he just isn't fast enough he knows that so he can't stay in one place long enough to even get a thank you he runs on to the crime scene where his friend August is waiting for him with the captain of the police force Singh he grabs the evidence and then he remembers that he was supposed to meet up with Iris and the other Wally West if you're confused there are in fact two Wally West at this point both raised by Iris classic Wally West is currently off with the Titans while the newer Wally West's that was introduced in the new 52 is still here in the main book Barry runs over to jitters cafe only to find that he's late as always he talks to them for a second and then fire trucks go racing by Wally looks up from his tablet to let Barry know that there's a fire on 4th and a STAR Labs transports under attack on 22nd before Wally could even continue what he's saying Barry takes off to the fire putting on his suit he tells himself he can do both the fire is on the way and he's fast enough sue runs into the building where he grounds a woman who carries her out and she screams My Children he runs back in dodging the flames in the crumbling building and while this is going on August managed to get into the path of the transport and the men who stole it members of the black hole pull their guns out on August flash runs out of the building with a kid in each arm August meanwhile sees the black hole symbol and knows it it was the symbol that was painted near where his brother was killed and he wants to know who these guys are they explained that they are black hole and they pull the trigger flash knows that it's too late he knows that he's a second off he knows that he isn't fast enough but he tries anyway he hits top speeds racing down the city with the rain pouring all around him but he's already too late in a millisecond behind the bullet he hears a crack a bolt of lightning hits August and then flash sees August move at super speeds knocking out the guy that tried to shoot him and he looks at August to see he's now a speedster and thus the flash at someone else someone else with powers someone else who was morally driven to do the right thing the first thing that they did was test out the limits of Auguste new speed force powers because he refused to go to STAR Labs and get tested there once they discovered that he could do everything to the flash could do August turned to him thank you for helping me Barry haha I'm not Barry Allen I'm the flash but August explained that Barry's secret was safe with him he knows the flash helps people and he knows Barry was there for him when his brother was murdered it's okay he isn't gonna tell anyone meanwhile while Barry is teaching his new friend someone else is testing out their Speed Force powers in secret Wally West gained them during the last storyline and he's now testing out his top speeds but he has a concern his uncle was Daniel West the reverse-flash what if he turns evil like his uncle Barry and August head over to the office where August begins to talk to Barry and ask him with these powers there's so much that we could do why don't we do it Barry we could be above the law handling things ourselves we could save people that deserve it and Barry tells August that sounds like for revenge while doing that sounds like it could be easy it wouldn't be right we need to do things by the book August and August asks them wouldn't you use these powers to save your mother which throws Barry off guard because he tried that breaking the timeline in the first place iris then calls up August to discuss the case but while on the phone the black hole group actually just kidnaps her right there because she's trying to report on them August tells Barry where she is and in a flash he's gone just as iris leaps out of the moving vehicle flash runs in catching her and that he Rockets off chase in the van only to be hit by a weird speed force based beam in his chest the crooks all leap out of the van asking flash did you really think you could stop us alone and that's when August runs it not anymore he doesn't the flash tries to tell him to stop but audist using the tricks that he was taught throws the black hole gang off their balance then with their combined powers they take out the gang they get them arrested Irish runs over to the new speedster to ask who he is and after considering it rubbing his chin August informs her that he is the Flash's new partner flash thinks about it and he decides that he likes the sound of that a partner things could be worse maybe this was the Speed Force answering the Flash's wish to be able to live a life and save people to be in two places at once but that's when things get a tad bit more interesting as the Speed Force storm that was around earlier giving August his powers begins to strike people all over Central City creating dozens speedsters everywhere August and flash begin a run around the city rounding up as many of these new would-be speedsters who were trying to commit crimes up as they can they bring them to iron Heights and once their flash explains to August his weird relationship with eobard thawne the reverse-flash he explains how he Oh Bart killed his mother and has been messing with his life through Timeline manipulation in August is in shock he had no idea with you Oh Bart had put Barry through but as they go to leave iron Heights they get told about another location that new speedsters are ending up Anton that STAR Labs the people who got their powers and didn't choose to immediately commit crimes went to STAR Labs to try and learn how to control their powers and that's where flash meets Nina a woman who had a boring job at STAR Labs but was always interested in the Speed Force in his applications so she created the Speed Force testing center for all of these new speedsters flash gets a little nervous telling her that she better not be planning to use these new speedsters as lab rats but after she runs to Keystone City and back he sees why she wouldn't be interested in turning speedsters into lab rats August runs back to hold on their jobs at the police station while Meena brings flash to where it is needed you see some people got their powers and they went for help at STAR Labs but some people got their powers and headed out to be a criminal and still some people couldn't control the power that they gained they're very scared Meena brings flash to see a woman named Avery who's vibrating so quickly that she can't seem to hold still so he teaches her how to think slowly to stop it from happening and he sees the good that he could do by teaching people realizing that he needs to help all of these new speedsters flash decides that he'll even help the criminals as he returns to iron Heights with Mina to get them out of lockup only to hear the alarm blaring he runs over to the room and the guards tell him that his partner is already inside and when he gets into the room with the criminal speedsters he finds them all dead sapped of their life force in August on the ground August explains that he came to check on them but when he got here he saw someone vibrating through the walls and then that person zapped these kids of their speed force before throwing him to the floor and he said his name was god speed they honestly don't have much to go on so flash goes back to the training facility to do just that train new speedsters even Avery the woman that he helped is beginning to learn how to control her powers so Mina brings him into another room to explain something she has done her research and the people with the Speed Force they're all connected through the Speed Force and the Speed Force itself wants to be brought back together it's been divided due to the Speed Force storm so whenever two speedster use their powers next to each other their speed force will lock together and it will recombine into one of the speedsters the fastest one basically the speedsters can race against each other and one speedster will steal the speed out of the others and that's how God speed stole the speed out of the kids August and drops in out of uniform so that they can keep their secret identity safe and he drops off the clues from the god speed crime scene as Barry begins to flip through those reports iris arrives to some incredible news that she wanted to get Barry before she releases it to the public 24 hours later dr. Joseph Carver was a star lab scientist that was fired for experimenting with a Speed Force he stole the Speed Force sample that STAR Labs had had he found a way to weaponize it that's what the flash was shot with which means the black hole group is using the Speed Force against him flash runs off with Mena alongside him leaving August back to heal in case god speed arrives and they arrive at dr. Carver's lab which is also black holes base flashing Meena runaround disabling dr. Carver's thugs and the flash grabs the doctor asking him if he did this did he create the Speed Force storm and he admits to it telling the flash that the storm is only the beginning and then he activates his new device the speed machine the Speed Force begins to jump to his machine and place it into his body but it's just too much it he begins to change into a Speed Force tornado into something completely different and he screams out in pain and then using his newfound powers he throws the flash to the ground and Meena runs over helping him up informing him that he can't do this alone he can't stop dr. carver by himself and that's the moment that August runs in with some of the new Speed Force trainees telling him that he doesn't need to work alone August actually came here in his speedster uniform to interrogate dr. Carver about the death of his brother because dr. Carver is linked to black hole and black hole is linked to his brother but it's also a good thing that he brought some of these Speed Force trainees because it looks like the flash could use a hand the flash asks him if this is God speed and August tells him that he isn't sure it was all a blur when he was knocked down so the flash comes up with a fast plan that requires the help of everyone as they distract him and then they all begin to race around dr. Carver using the new information that Mena has given him flash decides that the group can outrace dr. Carver and draw the Speed Force out of him and at a giant crack that's exactly what happens then as dr. Carver is on the ground in pain the flash smiles realizing that he now has multiple people to help him having partners is something that he has missed ever since the original wall West vanished meanwhile our new Wally West is still trying to get a handle on his new Speed Force powers and he sees an ad asking if anyone needs help learning their speed force they can visit STAR Labs flashed makrooh head back to STAR Labs where the flash realizes that he can actually do this he can actually teach these newcomers how to control their powers and then he can possibly get a normal issue life back and that's when Minah kisses him so he decides to take a major leap he doesn't want his two lives to be separate anymore and he tells her my real name is Barry Allen the next day the flash decides that it's time to finally relax a little to enjoy his life with Mina and he even takes some time to actually visit with Iris and have a cup of coffee with her while he West on the other hand though has arrived at STAR Labs and he really isn't sure you should be doing this Cave really kind of wants to keep his speed force powers secret but Mina sees him trying to walk away and after talking to him decides to help him train away from the lab she shows him what he can do and she even gets a chance to show him how to be a hero like the flash and Wally loves it some Mina and him agreed to meet back every day to continue his training Mina then heads back to STAR Labs to find the doors blown off and inside is one man sapping the Speed Force out of everyone around him Godspeed sue runs over trying to stop him by punching him but he's way beyond her League so she knocks Avery away from him and tells her to find the flash she turns to the other speedster trainees and tells them that he's trying to SAP their speed so they need to run against him they need to outrace god speed but instantly it doesn't work as he is so much faster than any of them and Avery runs off to try and find the flash they need help the flash is running through Central City with August by his side as they discuss what mean it could mean to him what Avery shows up telling them what's going on god speed is at STAR Labs the flash is confused they stopped to the black hole they stopped dr. Carver wasn't he god speed so he takes off her STAR Labs where he finds a bunch of the trainees drained of their life force and meet a suit in the ground and no Mina flash and August get to we're trying to solve this because the flash isn't convinced that Mina is dead there was no body and her suit had traces of something that happened to a long time ago something like a crisis August tells him but they should not reach for straws and that they should be out there looking for Godspeed but Barry tells him that he's looking all over the city godspeed isn't there the news van reports that god speed just ran a man across the highway scraping him at lightning speeds to death he turns to everyone and asks the news new - call him - Godspeed and the trainees explained that they told the press people needed to know the situation and the flash tells him you're right I'm sorry I didn't tell them sooner so he runs over to talk to Iris about the information that she has on a black hole and get her thoughts in the death of Mena just as Wally comes home and overhears the discussion of the death of Mena Barry turns it as confused as to why Wally is so upset as tears begin to stream down his eyes he then runs out of the room and as Barry tries to stop him to understand what's going on he then quickly discovers that Wally is gone and he begins to wonder does Wally have powers as he walks back into irises room he decides to ask her what the latest victims name was and iris informs him of the individuals name and that's when it all clicks Barry knows who godspeed is he takes off as the flash and he finds August demanding that he stops so that they could talk and flash explains that he was checking into God's Pete's victims and there's one victim that didn't fit the mo the victim was dragged to death and he didn't have any speed force based powers and August smirks sounds like it was personal it was Billy parks August the man who suspected of murdering your brother tell me you didn't do this August huh he deserved to die Billy could have been an innocent my gut was right Barry he did it we don't know that yes we did killing isn't justice I took a criminal off the streets what did you kill the other speedsters as well what about Mena you barely knew her Barry excuse me you and me an award some great love affair for the ages don't turn me into another tragedy for you to make into your life story and the flash strikes August across the face so he wants the plot aside and he lets the Lightning flow you know I was thinking of calling myself the new-and-improved flash because you clearly aren't cutting it anymore but I realized that with these powers I am judge jury and executioner so I called myself Godspeed then he runs off try to catch me flash he begins to run off with a flash in pursuit how did you do it August well Barry you see I'm faster than you so much faster that I can do what you have ever so desperately wanted I can be in two places at the same time and that's what a second Godspeed arrives and with the two of them they knocked a flash down one of the gods beats grabs Barry while the other one repeatedly bumbles him until he's bloody you have to believe me I never wanted to kill me nor the others I just wanted to be fast so I could stop anyone from ever having to experience the pain that I felt from losing someone think about your mother's killer sitting in iron Heights someone like me was around back then they could have saved her from thawing and then he screams out in pain the flash asks him are you okay I can't believe you're still concerned about me keeping myself in two places or too long begins to hurt so the flash gets up good and he sucker punches August so that he can run for it he makes it back to STAR Labs or he collapses on the floor but God Smith isn't done while the flash is thinking of a plan the black hole group has now taken some hostages over at the local courthouse where they demand the police to listen to them and realizing that he can do good and find out more about black hole and his brother's killers God speed runs to the scene to vibrate two guys into the walls and take out the third before running the leader of this group to a rooftop he begins to shake him violently at super speeds demanding to know how some street thug named Billy parks is connected to black hole and the leader tells him I have no idea what you're talking about meanwhile while he runs over to STAR Labs looking for the flash and he finds him doing nothing not aware that he's trying to recover from his last meeting with God speed wally flips out on him telling him that he can't believe that he's standing around doing nothing while Mina's Killer is running free he'll just go find God's beat himself and he runs out of the building Barry catches up to him he finds out that since the flash is friends with his aunt iris that's why Wally didn't want to seek out the flash for help but Mena she was helping him and now she's gone but he learned from the flash that he can also help people he needs to help people it's his choice what he does with these powers and the flash is shot you've learned that from me but it gives him an idea if he can go faster he can stop Godspeed and Mina said that the Speed Force is trying to reconnect his theory is that the reason that the speedsters died is because they raced against God speed fighting to keep their powers so what if they were giving him up willingly he takes Wally with him back to STAR Labs and he explains to everyone that he wants to take their speed so that he can stop god speed no good to go back and have normal lives but they have to willingly give it up and it works granting both Barry and Wally more speed than they've ever had before and that's when God's feet arrive kicking everyone if you're willing to give up your powers you don't deserve them the flash chases after God's beat and as they exit the lab he informs Flash I'm gonna do you a favor Barry I'm going to hire nice to kill the man that killed your mother yo Bart dawn along with every other crook in iron Heights I'll be back in a minute buddy the flash runs after him as fast as he can and then he reaches out to August knowing that he can use the Speed Force feedback this him from running they both hit the ground in pain in August tells him I'm shocked that he would use the Speed Force against a friend he stands up and he because to separate himself into two and then one begins to run to iron Heights while the other stays to prevent to Barry from stomping him because Barry's all alone he can't stop Godspeed until Wally jumps in no he's not Barry gets back up asking Wally what he's doing and he tells him that he was thinking about his aunt iris and how she would never stand by while other people were in trouble August looks at the two of them and he tells him too bad I'm still faster but flash knows that he actually isn't faster when August separates he breaks his speed force connection down making him slower meeting the flash and Wally can outrace him they begin to run circles around the - God speaks and they begin to SAP out his speed force energy until crack Wally then stands over the defeated god speed and a new kid flash out that granted to him by the Speed Force August swings at him throwing him aside thinking that he still has enough speed to try and finish his mission so he gets up but he begins to sprint towards iron Heights until the flash grabs him and in a swift motion knocks him out a few days pass and August is restrained in iron Heights where Barry comes to visit him to inform him Billy parks wasn't the killer of his brother he ran the evidence and August was wrong the whole time August doesn't want to believe it but Barry assures him that he'll track down the real killer and August scoffs at that you don't have time Barry you're alone again plus you're going to be busy trying to figure out who's behind the black hole and that Speed Force storm that started all of this Barry looks at him it was dr. Carver we stopped him no Barry there was someone else someone over him that supplied him and I know who it is but I'm not going to tell you I think it'll be a nice bargaining chip that I could save for the future being a while Wally shows his aunt irises knew speedsters suit and begins a very long explanation and then he tells iris not to worry he won't become Daniel he has a great teacher named the flash while the flash is watching over Wally's training someone appears behind him to thank him in his ear someone that he really shouldn't be hearing he turns around to see a speedster trail on the ground asking Mina Barry walks in to see iris on Halloween and he notices someone delivered flowers and he eyeballs them someone gave you flowers Wally chimes in from the back on iris has a secret admirer she explains that they get dropped off every week without a note and Barry looks at them and then jokingly states maybe I need to start dusting them for fingerprints and that's what may all get called away Wally goes on to explain that ever since the godspeed incident he's been training with the flash to become a better kid flash he wants to be like the flash so bad but he feels like the flash is just hard to talk to sometimes then as they're saving people on a bridge someone tells him nice suit kit and another flash appears in front of him Wally watches as this new flash steals the speed from the explosion saving Wally from that explosion and then he calls out flash there's another speedster from the Speed Force storm Barry runs over telling Wally it's fine this is a friend of his and then there's a new flash explains that Wally can call him flash this just confuses Wally wait there are two flashes that's confusing you don't know the half of it kid to help make things not super confusing for you the viewer at this point we're going to refer to new 52 Wally West as Wally will refer to Barry Allen as Barry and the original Wally West will be referred to as flash says he doesn't want to reveal his name yet Barry explains to Wally that he trained to this flash a while ago and this flash reaches his hand out to shank Wally's but that's when something happens and Barry feels it in his mind lightening courses through him and he screams out in pain this has happened before I was warned he hits the ground on his knees and Wally tries to reach out to him with the feedback from the Speed Force throws him aside flash runs over are you okay and Wally tells him that it burned him Barry begins dwelling on everything what's the point why do we do this dress up and save the lives of people who don't want to be saved Irene thing we love is being taken away he then gets up lightning shooting off of him neither of you understand my parents are taken from me but you were both abandoned they left you he then turns to Wally your father would rather you call him uncle instead of dad and Wally stares at him that's right Daniel west to the reverse-flash is your father he didn't want to admit it and that's why he became the reverse-flash flash runs over telling Barry to stop right there and Barry turns to him you you think you could like boots I have no legacy not even the flash do you understand me Punk hey he then begins to absorb into the Speed Force and it begins to pull him in and then he sees him zoom you're destined to run alone forever I've seen your future but flash has an idea Barry saved him for the very same thing a short while ago and he reaches into the Speed Force with the help of Wally and then with an explosion the Speed Force has calmed down Barry looks at flash in Wally and he tells them that he's sorry they did it they stopped the Speed Force from absorbing him while they all should be happy about this while he looks at him scared his uncle Daniel really my dad Barry turns to him Wally I'm sorry I found out when he was arrested and Wally takes off confused he knows that Barry didn't mean what he said but could it be true did Daniel West become the reverse-flash because of Wally Barry begins to try and chase after him but the flash tells him not to sometimes you need to run it off later that evening flash gets out of costume and he catches up with Wally they both ask each other if they know who they are since they've only ever met in costume that Wally tells the flash it's kind of easy the red hair is a giveaway Wally explains everything how he used to idolize his uncle Daniel and why would Daniel leave him what was wrong with him so the flash tells him that when he was a kid his parents fought all the time and when they sent him away he felt rejected as well he dealt with it with lessons that Barry taught him that it's all about believing in yourself with your heart your powers don't matter you aren't alone Kid Flash no matter what has happened in the past while we finally cracks a smile and asks him if he has any advice for working with Barry so the flash points out one day you're gonna challenge the flash to a race and he's gonna let you win it's who the flashes they both suit up and they run off as flash tells him we're family Kid Flash I'm here for you and then he ran to go meet with Barry he explained that they discovered who had removed him from the timeline and then it had screwed everything up it was the villain abracadabra and he fought him along with the Titans this is a story that we will be covering shortly so don't worry you aren't missing that much it hasn't concluded yet Barry then asked if it feels the one delivering the flowers and the flash tells him it is him he wants her to know that someone cares about her Barry tries to convince him to tell iris everything but he tells him it isn't time abracadabra hit the Titans hard yes he made the world's forget about this version of Wally but he isn't the one messing with the timeline so we need to solve that before he'll tell anyone anything so the two of them suit up and get ready to run some more but Barry tells the flash one thing that he saw while on the speedforce an odd-looking helmet with a set of wings on it he doesn't know what it was but it filled him with hope where we will tell you the story of a man made of darkness haunted by his own history the man learned that one of the real horrors of life is that your life could be affected by the maliciousness of others at his worst he turned to misdeeds and mischief but one day he was blessed with friends and love he found hope and he gave up his wicked ways and thus the wicked man lived happily ever after but that was a long time ago we are now in Central City where Barry Allen and iris West are running through the park getting in shape iris brings up the fact that Wally has been ditching school and would like Barry to speak to him for her Barry pretends to be winded and asks if this is why she invited him to jog with her and then he noticed is somebody playing with paper nearby and feels like something is off that's when paper cut gets up telling everyone to empty their wallets before Barry can run in iris gets in the way telling him to be careful and Barry realizes that he can't change into the flash with her there begins to wonder what he's going to do does he risk his identity and just save the day but that's the moment then another speedster arrives on the scene Kid Flash aka Wally West he runs in hitting paper cut and knocking him down and then iris demands to know why Kid Flash isn't at school you see no one knows Barry's identity but iris does know her nephew is Kid Flash before Wally can come up with a good excuse paper cut gets up telling him that he doesn't just control paper it's just the easiest and then he begins to move trees around Wally as the trees pick up iris and Wally iris calls out for Barry to help them but she can't seem to find him in the mess that's probably because he changed into the flash he shows back up and makes quick work of paper cut saving everyone he then turns to Wally you wait here I'm taking paper cut to iron Heights flash catches up with Wally and demands to know why he aligned to him flash and Wally had an arrangement he would go to school and the flash would teach him afterwards he was never never to go off on his own flash tells him that he knows that he's breaking their deal he knows that he's been running with the Teen Titans and he shouldn't be you're not the first partner to try and hide things from me I thought I could trust you Wally and until I can I don't think I can train you to be kid flash but that takes off Wally you talk about trust I don't even know your name why does that other red-haired flash know your name but I don't either storms off leading flash to wonder about that one Barry goes back to his lab where he goes over the situation and how many people he's lost time with his father while he was in prison that other Wally West who's now going by the name the flash August who turned out to be Godspeed and then there's Meena Barry has been following the sightings of a speedster taking from the rich and giving to the poor and he's certain that it's Meena but why hasn't she reached out to him if you're curious as to who this other speedster is check out the first video for flash rebirth Godspeed meanwhile Wally heads back home where he gets himself grounded for skipping school and he heads to his room he then decides you know what I'll just go catch a rogue if I do that the flash they'll have to trust me so after hearing reports about an evil shadow wall it decides how hard can a shadow peek he runs out and finds an odd man at a top hat and he offers to help him when he turns around Wally sees his twisted grin on his face and he informs Wally hope was shaken and without hope life is meaningless then shadow creatures begin to leap out from behind the man they begin a drag Wally down and before he knows it he's lost in the shadows the next day Barry went to speak with Wally as Barry and not the flash but of course he finds him gone iris assumes that she was too hard on Wally and he ran off so she goes outside to call for the flash and just like that he appears kind of convenient because technically he was right behind her eyes Barry Allen and his secret identity as the two of them try to figure out what's going on Flash's shadow comes to life and shade pops up telling him hope is lost I need your help he needs your help Kid Flash in the shadows hearing that iris runs into the shadows at least flash behind without a second thought flash runs for it really iris I'm supposed to be the one running into danger the flash quickly realizes that he isn't near iris and he isn't in Central City anymore he's in shades shadow world the shadow monsters begin to attack him and he tries to outrun them but that's when Wally shows up telling him you can't outrace them but they hate our lightning and with that a massive burst of lightning shoots out of Wally and he collapses the flash runs over to catch him asking if he's okay and while he explains that he's just exhausted he's been here for days the flash tells him it's only been a few hours as they try to figure out what's going on they hear shade the real shade not the twisted and demented one talking to him he explains that he left this life behind he had a woman that he loved and he was spending his life with her but his own fears of this power overtaking him gave life to the shadows once again he began to lose control of them as his subconscious began to guide them to do things that would supposedly help him but it led him to losing hope losing the woman that he loved these creatures took her away from him and brought her to the shadow worlds he of course had to chase them but he was overwhelmed and he needed the flash so he was reaching out to him the flash then asks him so you aren't controlling them yes and no it's my feelings of fear and doubt that are controlling them and twisting this world into an evil place so flash agrees to help shade if shade gets Kid Flash out of this mess even though Kid Flash argues that he wants to save iris shade ends up informing both of them that it doesn't matter no one can leave until we have regained control of the shadows and the shadows are preoccupied with something that they are building the Tower of darkness they are hoping to build it to free themselves from this world forever flash brings up that if they find hope he can bring her back to shade and they can end this in wall-e that asks what about iris so shade informs them you misunderstand I already found hope and iris they've been infected by the shadows and they are another Queens of them it's time for flash versus iris West well flash in Wally run around with shade fighting the shadows hope and iris stand in their castle hope says that she used to be a cop and never understood why people would go to a life of crime but now she understands how fun it is an iris explains that her nephew and flash have always been the ones of power they worry and fret over her as if she's some weak damsel in distress well now she has the power and as they become more certain of themselves their powers grow and the battle outside is being lost as they control the shadows no matter how fast they run and generate light the darkness creeps back in at the same speed until it finally swallows up both of our speedsters flash tells Wally to remember what he taught him about vibrating through objects becoming intangible and Wally says he can't remember and he won't try it's a flash asks him why won't you at least try to vibrate and Wally snaps back at him because of me that was supposed to train me and she's gone flash brings Wally close to him and he frees his time per se he explains that he launched their Speed Force together seemingly freezing time but they are basically moving at a high speed together so it only appears like they're frozen time it allows them to talk for a second I know you're upset that Mina is gone I am too but I need you to trust me kid flash why can't you tell me who you are you don't trust me it isn't about trust knowing my secret identity it's a burden secrets can weigh a person down I'm protecting you I didn't get a chance to be a kid no friends clubs are banned practice I was alone and I don't want that for you you deserve a real childhood and that means that some things need to be kept secret now trust me I can't hold this for much longer Wally looks at him can you at least give me a clue to your name because you look like a Chad I was named after my grandfather now our frozen moment is wearing off you need to go intangible with me or they'll tear us to shreds can you vibrate with me is this really a teachable moment flash every day is kid flash conquering his fears while he vibrates as much as he can and it works and he blows the shadows back finally free of the shadows attacking them they both rock it off towards the Tower of darkness in the tower hope has shade captive and in doing so loses her grip on iris just a little so that iris because the question what she's doing hope turns back to iris isn't letting go of your war is fun but iris starts to see the truth and tells her just because it's easy and fun doesn't mean it's right your will is strong iris if you rejected the powers of the shadows I will have them rip you apart shade can't take it anymore hope no it's me you what I did this the shadows they acted out because of me they knew that the only thing holding me back from returning to my old ways was you hope turns to him that's not about you shade the shadow showed me the better ways of the darkness seeing you like this is breaking my heart hope but I guess spending an eternity with this dark version of you is my punishment and he grabs her using his powers against her Wally runs in grabbing iris and pulling her aside while the flash runs over to shade but shade tells him not to bother save themselves flash tells shade not a chance we're getting out of this together Wally now both zooming in to charge up their lightning hitting massive levels of light and electricity and then they do it a fist bump light begins to hit the entire area blasting the Shadow Realm away and that's it everyone is now standing in Central City Wally asks iris how she stopped the darkness representing her and iris explains that she's just stubborn shaved turns to hope explaining what happened and how sorry he is and hope tells him to trust in himself in a her his past will always be a part of him but today they have each other flash puts his hand on Schade shoulder you know you're allowed to be happy right shade you should learn to heed your own advice flash so shade pulls out a positive shadow and uses it to teleport him and hope back home but as he leaves you tells flash let your lovely wife get some rest flash give her my regards flash of course is confused wife we're not married shade my mistake with a crack of light shade is gone flash just shrugs it off and everyone heads home with everything working out bury heads over to see iris the next day to ask her out on a date because of this timeline is going to fix itself as time he started talking to his potential wife isn't it now the Rogues consist of Captain Cold Mira Master weather wizard heatwave golden glider and Captain Boomerang or at least they did until Captain Boomerang left for the Suicide Squad but the weird thing is that the Rogues are currently missing from central city do you see they broke out of prison not long ago and with everything going on for the flash he hasn't been able to find them so many other villains in central city and on top of that he had to deal with God speed in his new kid flash but as the warden reminds flash that the Rogues are in fact missing flash reminds him that the Rogues were pardoned for their recent heroic acts is it possible that the Rogues have hung up their weapons and quit the warden doesn't quite believe that and as much as flash wants to believe it he decides that he should perhaps at least look into it he begins to follow the trails as flash and as Barry Allen asking the various families and known associates of the ropes his investigation led him to a woman who taught Lisa snart how to ice-skate Lisa goes by the rogue name golden glider Barry begins to speak with her and she presents a photograph of both Leonard and Lisa snart's before they were captain cold and golden glider and the photo Barry saw a smiling Leonard with his father in front of the polar ice building so on a crack of lightning he arrives in the scene as flash and it's there that he eventually finds the Rogues safe house in an underground lair he does question why everyone has an underground lair and wonders if he should maybe get one but the big thing that he notices is that the Rogues aren't there and they seem to have left in a hurry so as he begins to gather up evidence a countdown begins and Barry is left with 10 seconds to get what he can and get out of the building before it explodes but he got too greedy and was almost caught in the explosion luckily he vibrated at just the right frequency to allow the explosion to pass through him while this would have been the end of the investigation for many heroes Barry moved fast enough to get all of the important information about where the Rogues are and he knows what they're doing and he knows how to stop them even if they aren't in the central city anymore this time berry is wrong because as he leaves to investigate what he thinks is going on captain cold is watching with the rest of the Rogues and tells them the flashes left it's time over in corto Maltese there's currently a statue made out of gold and jewels it's a statue of mercury and the Rogues are here to steal it as they come flying into the window ice is blasted on the floors captain cold creates a bridge for them and trickster lands putting down a box and that blocks all signals exiting the building leaving it open for mirror master to begin the master plan but just as they get their glass planes around the statue all of the rogues hear the tell-tale crack of a speedster arriving they turn to see a smiling Barry Allen upset that he made a better entrance than them he runs right to trickster grabbing and throwing him aside before ducking underneath heat waves blast and uppercutting him a bolt of lightning flies past him as he nearly dodges it and he runs up to the mirrors to dodge the bolts of running off of the golden glider slides out of a mirror wrapping her ribbons around the flash but he uses his own momentum to throw her into weather wizard stopping the both of them he then tells the Rogues it's over but captain cold grabs a hostage demanding that flash stop and let them go flash smiles you won't do it you told me once the Rogues have a code no killing snart snaps at him there's exceptions to the rule it's fight or flight flash do you want to see how cold-blooded I can be not really but there is something I do know snart is right-handed and a whoosh the flash grabs the hostage freeing her from Cold's grasp and then he comes back with the full speed of a speedster punching Captain Cold and shattering him you're a mere construct you're not the real snart he then looks at mera master this is your doing where are the ropes none of them were here he runs over to grab mirror master but mirror master begins to fall backwards smirking Bravo flash you see we needed to get you out of the city for every second possible but that's also why we chose this museum it has mirrors everywhere all over the museum mirror master begins to step out of his mirrors as mirror constructs of flash and they begin to grab the hostages he Rockets around breaking apart the constructs up himself but he did so so quickly that all of the mirrors cut off his fist then all of the shards of the mirror become a giant mirror flash twitch because the mirror his very speed it grabs the flash slamming him into a giant mirror with mirror master taunting him so he thinks of only one answer to this problem turn the mirror shards into dust so we vibrates in the speed of 10000 vibrations a second all of the shards begin to turn to dust except as he was facing off against himself mirror master grabbed the statue and made a break for it before warning the flash that the roads were just getting started flash splits back to Central City to see the horrible truth the rogues have finally won if they split up and hit multiple locations how can the flash catch them if he doesn't know where to run standing in the crime scene of one of the heist Cyrus West walks over asking flash how he lost to the ROK's he tells her he isn't sure he honestly doesn't even know what they stole here she explains that she was hoping that the Rogues would finally realize that the city wants them to be heroes but sadly it looks like they slipped right back into being villains flash tells her that he's given them so many chances hoped for some good in them but they've always proved him wrong and that he thinks about what iris got him thinking about wait what did they steal he counts him everything stolen and all of it was big and bold items from the statue to every jewel in a jewelry store to everything in a bank including the safety deposit boxes it was their biggest heist ever it was their last heist which means they don't ever intend on coming back to Central City and if you weren't coming home ever again where would you go he runs over to each of their homes and he finds heatwave standing in front of his childhood home holding flowers I went to their graves first he waved but then I remembered your old child at home he waved doesn't turn around to face the flash instead he slowly puts on his helmet and he tells him they have one regret flash that's the night didn't burn down the whole neighborhood and with that he because the light of all of the houses around them setting fires in every single home blast quickly runs into each building rescuing the poor civilians and then he comes rocketing back to face off against heatwave but he gets a full blast of the heat gun he drops to the ground as heatwave walks over them never burns you this bad flash after a few months of skin grafts you'll be okay he then walks away to meet with the rest of the Rogues they're meeting on a boat off shore and when heatwave shows up he tells them that he got to burn the flash captain cold knows the truth doesn't he the flash didn't lose the heatwave he let himself get burnt so that he can follow him as he tells them to get ready to roll the flash is instantly on the boat taking out every rogue except for colds he then walks over to cold and cold freezes his foot place you see flesh I know the truth the flesh always beats the rogues so while they were stealing the money I broke into STAR Labs to steal something else the specs for the black hole weapon that created the Speed Force storm and threw you for a loop he then pulls out a new weapon say hello to my black ice gun let's see how smart you are now using his new Speed Force black hole and powered ice gun he begins to spread ice over everything blasting the flash over and over and he can't outrun it because it's empowered by the black hole which is slightly empowered by the Speed Force itself the battle is epic and the flash asks him why do this you took the black hole tech and you were able to reverse engineer into something like this you could work for STAR Labs do good for the city you want me to work a desk job flash that's a waste of a life buddy I love being a rogue flash keeps trying to reach Captain Cold but again it again he blasts him with the black ice holding it in place and the ice combined with the black hole tech because they literally start to tear apart the flesh we like being rogues just like you like being the flash admit it you don't play hero for them you play it cuz I get your rocks off admit it using everything he has the flash vibrates at just the right speed creating a heat wall around his body to keep the cold away from him then super heated up he charges forward shouting never and he punches Captain cold out he then tries to dismantle the black ice gun except the rest of the Rogues have woken up and the flash is now weakened using the last bits of his energy he because the battle against them and he turns to them all you claim that central city is your turf that what you stole you only stole while protecting the city but look at the damage you've caused it goes deeper than the stuff you steal that he will hide from the Rogues not out of respect but out of fear golden glider comes out of nowhere wrapping up the weekend flash and she puts the black ice gun to his head you know maybe that's what's been holding the Rogues back the whole moral code thing we could just end this now Captain Cold steps forward holding his hands out trying to talk her down sis give me the gun but she throws the tied up flash to the ground hops on his back with a gun pressed to his head how many times we've done this Leonard even this time our last heist the flash couldn't let us go everyone tried to talk her down but they couldn't and Lisa snart pulled the trigger trying to murder the flash except the gun backfired throwing her back reading the flesh in an instant he finished off all of the Rogues when he tried to dismantle the gun he must have caused a short circuit and if he hadn't he would have been dead captain Cole told the flash that what he was doing was for himself not the people but the truth is yes he does it for himself because giving the people a central city and opportunity for justice brings a smile to the Flash's face the fact that Cole thinks that that is selfish says more about cult than flash for those of you who don't know over the last year we were introduced to Wally Western the new 52 the man that he thought to be his uncle was actually his father Daniel West but to make the situation even more confusing for poor Wally his father was the reverse-flash he was placed into iron Heights just as wally was gaining his own speed powers he is only reminded of this when he wakes up from a dream where he came face to face with Daniel after a brief breakfast with Barry Barry's father iris and himself Wally is obviously disturbed not knowing anything that's going on and he runs off before vanishing Daniel told Wally that he was trying to pay for his crimes as the reverse-flash but Barry and iris knew that Daniel was the killer and he wouldn't change he told them so so Barry decided once he changed into the flash costume that maybe it was a good day for Wally to go and see Daniel again at iron Heights as no one has seen or heard from Daniel ever since Wally went there the last time but Wally informs flash that Daniel was actually moved to Louisiana during that whole situation where the flash was dealing with the Rogues and flash knows what this means Belle Reve with a crack of lightning and thunder flash and Kid Flash make their way out there all around the grounds in the pouring rain are dozens of guards and if you are flash and you want to get in undetected that's perfect with each bolt of lightning our heroes move into the prison and they enter deeper still Wally notices the whole place looks like one ton of obey not a simple prison why would Daniel be here he begins to panic which causes him to run more in the guards to find a Barry hits table speed running around the guards in their battle suits dismantling the suits leaving a bunch of men in their underwear and as more guards arrive someone yells stop with the commanding voice of a person that you don't want to cross Barry and Wally see amanda waller and she asks what is he doing there Barry approaches are asking where Daniel West is and she sternly tells him that they have no record of a Daniel West Wally yells out that he has proof and she tells him that no matter what he has there's no one here also if they don't leave run away she'll make room for a Breaking and Entering speedster Barry grabs Wally by the arm and they leave the area while he demands that they go back and they find Daniel but Barry explains that he has a better idea if Daniel was ever in Belle Reve then he knows someone who might have an answer they run off to the Australian outback and girl Harkness he's gotten himself into another bar fight except he quickly cuts apart the men trying to beat him with his razor-sharp boomerangs then as he's about to cut a guy's throat there's a whoosh and the boomerang is lifted out of the air should've known he'd be in trouble digger and the men then jump on digger as he tells the flash hey flash er good to see a mate he begins to fight back asking who the wee business but as Barry debates if he really wants to help digger a net is thrown over them and all three of them are captured for entering the Weaver clans web quickly all three of them are tied to a post to hold them in place Captain Boomerang asks flash why he isn't leaving and he explains that this Weaver's web is weird as electricity has its own vibration so Captain Boomerang has another flam and offered the leader walks over wanting to know what boomerang could possibly have for him and he tells him why not sell the gun that was able to kill the flash the boss thinks about it and then he sucker punches digger I like your idea so the flash are run with you and if you don't flash will show your little sidekick out sharp diggers boomerangs can really be with a whoosh flashing digger hit the ground running as they opened fire with their firepower trying to hit the flash but while they try to shoot at the fastest man alive while he informs them that the web's that held the flash in place only did so because he was trying to vibrate but you see when Wally tries to do that he blows up so he blows up the bindings holding him and he begins to drop each one of the thugs shooting at the flash wall he grabs a boomerang and throws it slicing through the guns and then he bounces it all over distracting the men with the guns allowing him to drop each of them with the mess complete in the night coming upon them our heroes in one villain stopped to talk and Wally asks the question what happened to Daniel West boomerang shrugs it off don't know what you're talking about kid he's my dad and that right there pauses digger to stop no lie I just want the truth oh bugger he pulls off his hat he tells him here's how it went down the Suicide Squad was sent on a mission to stop the League of Assassins outside of Turkey when it all went kind of sideways there was a bomb that could kill a lot of kids West's decided that he couldn't let that stand and he went back to get the bomb and throw it into the ocean he saved a lot of people but he wasn't fast enough that's the truth your old man died a hero sorry kid while he runs off and Barry turns to digger digger he I never expected a thanks flash go after the kid so Barry chases him back down and Wally shouts to him you knew you knew didn't you I didn't know for sure well we want to Bellerive that's what you were worried about that he was sent on some suicide squad and buried tries to tell Wally to come back with him they can talk about it at home but Wally is confused he's angry he's hurt that his father couldn't just tell him the truth that he was his father did he not want to be Wally's father so Barry finally decides that it's time a neighbor moves his cowl telling Wally that there is nothing wrong with him Wally's eyes light up as he finally sees the truth about the Flash's secret identity that he is in fact Barry Allen Barry explains that eobard thawne his own reverse-flash went back in time and murdered his mother and then lets Wally take all of that in and Wally asks him to Cyrus no Barry explains that he keeps his identity secret for fear of his enemies finding out and harming those that he loves while it turns off to look into the desert you're a liar you cared about iris you'd have told her a long time ago Barry just like my dad lied to me and then he runs off leaving Barry to think about that meanwhile over in iron Heights there is a man a prisoner so dangerous that he is left in a full-body suit a suit that limits his movement but not in a normal way this suit doesn't allow him to move even a fraction of an angstrom the smallest unit of measurement in the world in this prisoners cell there's a crack and a boom and lightning shoots across the cell and dances across the floor because someone has just been freed someone that is ruined Barry Allen's life someone named eobard thawne with the Speed Force whirling around him he smiles a sinister grin I remember the Batman Thomas Wayne killed me in a flash point I should teach his son a lesson iris West is sitting at a table taking small notes as a woman explains that God speed took her son from her he did such a large amount of damage to the body that they couldn't even have an open casket she explains that Kyle was a dumb kid he didn't ask to gain those powers from the speedforce storm and now his body is stolen iris pauses stolen yes the cops didn't tell me anything about it but they say that it's a part of an ongoing investigation iris explains that that is because that's what they say when they're worried did that the facts of that case could tip off the guilty party the woman turns to her do you have any kids I take care of my nephew if this happened to your nephew wouldn't you want answers iris left the house thinking about that and it brought her to the grave of Kyle and then to the other surviving families someone's been going around stealing the bodies of the victims of godspeed luckily she knows someone who works in the CCPD Barry Allen runs in to his office to have a seat just as iris walks in and her hands is a cup of coffee and then she hands it to him any chuckles huh you know before we were dating you used to bring me coffee when you wanted a story Irish smiles it's the god speed victims the bodies are missing and I was hoping to find out what the CCPD knows Barry smiles back I would love to help but it seems like you know as much as the CCPD iris leans against his desk oh there's one person unaccounted for who you knew a bit more closely Meena she was murdered in the STAR Labs speedforce training center by God speed and you two were well close Barry looks away from her so Irish jumps in quickly look Barry if I'm crossing the line here I'm sorry no no it's okay iris me and his body was donated to STAR Labs along with her speed suit that's what she wanted anything else is confidential so iris tells him thank you and leaves after kissing him on the forehead this isn't the end of the investigation though iris needs to go see if Mina's body is there so she decides to go to STAR Labs secretly but the moment that she walks into the Speed Force training facility she sees dust cobwebs and everything untouched until someone finds her they're telling her that she isn't supposed to be in there this makes irises reporter sense tingle and she looks around the woman stopping her to see something that she never thought she'd see black hole operating again out of STAR Labs and they're moving caskets around with the missing bodies the woman tries to stop by but she flips her over her shoulder and knocks her out she then grabs the blackhole suit and helmet as the guards walk over from hearing the noise the doctor who came to check on her is named dr. husk and he asks if she's okay thinking that iris is a doctor halt the woman who was over here in was trying to stop iris Irish pretends to be her and tells him that she's fine so he asks if she did the data wipe because they can't have anyone accessing Mina's data they talked about the last situation where the flash stopped dr. Carver so iris asks if they're going to go free dr. Carver from iron Heights husk tells her no but no one really cares about the godspeed victims so they can run as many tests on them as they please it's a good thing that they have a friend in STAR Labs to allow for this and iris slips asking who husk turns over to her looking at her mask closely what do you mean who meanwhile outside the flash is in a round because he realized that if you tell iris with a body is she's going to investigate so maybe the flash should run in and see what's going on but as the flash arrives a bunch of the devices launch out of the ground and into his shin shocking him with Speed Force energy dropping him right there husk seizes win and he turns to iris thinking that she's Holt with no time to verify that it is actually her and he tells her be a dear and finish off the flash with a black hole gun well of course she doesn't shoot the flash as she shoots the gun at husk blasting his controller in his hand the one that controls the device is in the Flash's shin so the flash removes them and ties up all of the black hole agents and stops husk he takes off allowing the police to arrive in the scene as Irish directs them where they need to be and then he returns as Barry Allen but the other police officers comment how it's weird that Barry even showed up he had the night off but Perry is Irish begins to wonder why would Barry lie about that to her is there something that he's hiding and she also wonders who was the person helping black hole from STAR Labs meanwhile at the black holes central facility we see that person someone that went missing someone that Barry Allen assumed had to be alive because he never found a body Mina she's the black hole operative till begins with a hockey game the final minute of a match between the Gotham bleeds and the metropolis and mammoths and an Arkham Asylum a blond-haired inmate starts to put something together in her mind she cries out panicking they're going to kill him she turns to her fellow inmates and she grabs her head stop it stop it I can't stop it stop it stop it can't you see Superman won't come our friends will die the Legion will die no one will stop it no one will save us and then we fade away from Saturn girl deep in the Batcave Batman stares at an enormous series of monitors each with a view of the but and he watches the hockey game he twirls it between his fingers as he watches the puck hit the ground and two of the players begin to fistfight they have a history the announcers say this was in the making the audience says but neither man is giving up ground and a hit each other so hard that one man hits the ground and everyone begs for him to stop the fight is over as they pull one man off of another Batman turns off the television and he throws the button over to the table the one where he's been keeping the psycho pirates and mask ever since he got it from the man himself the two land next to each other and there's a slight spark and a faint noise Batman turns to see what's going on and the button sends that occurred of lightning that hits Batman in the chest throwing him back he looks up to see another Batman a man from another time a man from the flashpoint event called Thomas Wayne Thomas looks down at his Senate he calls out Bruce and in response to that Bruce reaches out father and then Thomas Wayne fades from the vision of the Dark Knight so he calls up a friend flash something's happened with the button can you come over here and flash tells him that he's a bit caught up with about 37 samurais attacking him so give him one minute it'll be there then Batman hears the tell-tale crack of a speedsters lightning you said one minute flash of all people I never expected you to be early flash no and then the reverse flash punches Batman to the ground quite the reverse actually with 56 seconds until the flash arrives reverse flash begins to talk my name is eobard thawne and i've been dead for quite some time I should be dead for quite some more time and then with 53 seconds left he stomps over at the button on the ground but a power it awoke me it called out to me for me and I am brother that's it Batman leaps at him but he vibrates letting Batman hit the floor oh you wanna fight some more at second 47 reverse-flash cracks Batman with her right and then I'm left in an uppercut at 46 seconds remaining he throws another left and then our right and then at 45 seconds remaining he hits Batman across the face with 44 seconds remaining he grabs him you're still alive how fun he begins to run around the Batcave throwing Batman into the trophies and devices that he has around until he finally comes to the letter that his father gave him from flashpoint with 37 seconds remaining he tears it up with Batman calling out No and then he throws it in the air like confetti oh yes and now we have 29 seconds remaining until the flash arrives we reverse flash because the vibrate making it so that Batman can't do anything to him and Batman tells him there's one thing I know about speedsters to blur you have to be touching something on the ground and he drives a Batarang into reverse flashes foot pinning him there 22 seconds remaining Batman gets up around to punch him to the right and then I left in reverse flash Sadiq collapsed him into his monitors you have to know you can't win Batman waves of blood from his face oh I know but I don't need to win I just need 11 seconds at the 10-second mark reverse-flash runs in punching batman over and over and Batman even manages to get a shot in himself so reverse-flash pins him to the ground pummeling him and then he lifts him up Batman looks him in the eyes one and nothing happens huh I guess overtime reverse-flash knocks Batman out and stands over him pathetic he slowly walks over to the button and he picks it up and he vanishes he then returns moments later with a blue fire burning on him god he falls to his knees I saw a guy and he dies that's when the flash runs it apologizing for being late he tried to save the hockey player who was beat but he was too late and then he looks down to see the dead reverse flash and an unconscious Batman flash gets Batman up to his bed where Alfred begins to take care of him and he begins to go over the crime scene the reverse flash is there as a skeleton and he's trying to figure out what happened eventually he realizes there's only one witness so he goes to talk to Batman and they decide to figure out what's going on Batman tells him that eobard said that he saw a god flash tells Batman that he knows thawne's vibrations and there was something weird about them on its course as almost as if he traveled throughout space and time how did he get back to the Cave Batman that explains that he put the button next to psycho pirates mask and he saw something a ghost of his father they go over their notes as all started the night that Wally West returned flash has also been seeing things such as eobard thawne and the helmet of mercury the helmet apparently gave him hope Batman asks flash what he isn't telling him and flash tells him that he'll update him when he gets info within a short amount of time flash has made his way up to the Justice League Watchtower it is here that the house all of the artifacts and they've come across he thought back to the day that Wally returned from the Speed Force and while he told him that there was somebody watching them he never saw who it was but they're out there and they're waiting to attack Wally said that whoever this was was more powerful than Darkseid flash runs over to his sheep pulling it off and there sits the cosmic treadmill the tool that the flash uses to travel through time the thing that he swore that he would never use after he created the flashpoint universe but as he goes to get on at Batman steps out of the shadows this is my case - Barry flash tries to tell him no but of course that doesn't work as Batman in the flash get on the treadmill together and he begins to run faster than light all around them is a blinding white light as they begin to run through the timestream flash notices that things aren't right immediately around them are different timelines separate from the one that they live in different outfits altered histories even timelines where individuals have died and behind them as a Time storm which is getting closer and closer and the flash knows what this means they can't get caught up in it or they won't even know where they land he has to run faster but he isn't fast enough as he gets hit by the storm with a fulcrum Batman and flash go flying off of the treadmill with Batman holding onto it with a Batarang and the flash zipping around trying to get back on but the white light of time begins to close around the bit because to swallow them up and then the treadmill hits the ground breaking into pieces they both get up looking around and Batman sees that this is his cave but different and the flash realizes where they are Batman sees the gun the gun that killed his parents and he sees a glass case he lowers his cowl as he looks at it how was it here I never recovered it and then Batman turns to see another Batman his father and Thomas Wayne turns to Bruce I did this all because of you son Thomas continues everything I did I did because I wanted to save you and the final fight the flash gave me hope for you and I put my faith into him that you would be saved and I would die and the nightmare the flashpoint universe would end but something put this world on life-support the nightmare didn't stop the war continued the fights the floods the deaths of millions I was a fool to think that I could do anything to save my son and now my enemies come for me Wonder Woman and Aquaman finally agreed on something and they both have sent their soldiers to put me down I decided to take them with me but now here you are and this isn't real he grabs flash by the throat with the flash vibrates out of it telling him dr. Wayne please listen to me something went wrong it's been months since I've repaired the timeline since I left and changed it all back but there's something that has kept this universe around and we are trying to follow its trail how is it even possible the flash says kneeling down to feel the vibrations flashpoint was never an alternate timeline but an alternate history it should no longer exist it's being held in place like those visions that we saw on the time stream I don't understand any of this but I have to rebuild the cosmic treadmill it should only take me a minute and then Thomas Wayne looks at the stairs we don't have a minute both Batman dropped their Cal's and they jump into battle as the flash rebuilds the treadmill and as they complete the fight the entire world because to shake it begins to fall apart it's being let go of finally Bruce turns to his father your letter it was the greatest gift that anyone's ever given to me Bruce after I read it I knew I would never get a chance to respond but if I did there was one thing that I wanted to tell you above anything else you're a grandfather I have a son flash turns in the Batman the treadmills at full power without me on it we have to go now Bruce turns back to his father come with me please and Thomas turns back to him throwing him onto the treadmill with the flash the universe around them begins to fade away into the timestream flash you promised me that you would save my son doubt Joey Thomas calls out Bruce tries to fight against him Barry let me go but Thomas looks at them as they begin to fade away into the timestream you were my world son I delivered you myself in the moment that I saw you I know that every choice that I've ever made has been for the right reasons because they led to you you're the greatest gift that this life has ever given to me and there is more that I should have shared with you in that letter so listen to me don't be Batman find happiness please don't do this don't do it for me don't do it for your mother a father and the way that I never could for you let the Batman die with me Bruce calls out we can save you and then cuckoo they all vanish thomas stairs of the dustcloud where they once were you have he throws the trigger to the bombs in the back gave his side and it drops his cowl and then he turns to the white light Wayne's never stay down we rise and he fades into oblivion as Batman and flash begin to run through the timestream again Batman tries to convince flash to turn around but the flash turns to him there's nothing to return to that world is gone so Batman asks the next question the button came to the cave why did it bring us to the flashpoint universe and behind them is the reverse-flash running past them coming through flash how on earth did you get ahead of me let alone to find me Batman and the flash are shocked but Batman sees Thawne holding the button and he tells flash he's holding the button this is before he runs off and dies some flash calls out and stop stop or you'll die thought and thought shouts back I know where this button comes from flash and they've never faced someone like me and he continues to barrel on into the timestream flash calls that thought I've seen your future you're going to die if you keep going my future Barry like the day that you broke my neck or the day that you watched Batman's father sign a sword in my back empty threats to a living paradox there is no future there is no past then a big bolt of lightning hits between them and as the flash calls out to Thawne again and he feels another force Barry I'm here Batman asks him did you hear that and flash tells him it's nothing it's the timestream calling out to you Thawne turns back to the two of them I have an idea Perry once I have this power out go back and make you my son I'll become a social worker and raise you make you my acolyte and at that moment the treadmill begins to fall apart and fall to pieces Batman tells flash we need to lead somewhere Barry and the flash tells him I have to catch dawn and Thawne gives the grin of the psychotic reverse flash like always you're too late Barry I'm here your life is about to be a gardener he arrives alone in open space with nothing but the ground and the person in front of him waiting he looks down at the button pulsing with power hello you don't have to be shy now I can feel your presence like a wave of static electricity it's powerful I'll admit to the fact that I've never encountered anything quite like this you've done such strange things to the timeline thing and I won't begin to question and you've remained hidden from all of them but I'm not like them my existence is the only constant in a sea of possibilities I cannot be erased by anyone by you show yourself Thawne looks up and he sees the blue light and it begins to swirl around him and he realizes his mistake my god wait wait I didn't know the blue light touches him it begins to pull him apart at the seams please my judge what a job but before he could even finish his sentence he's pulled apart and turned into the skeleton from the start of our story meanwhile Batman and flash of the screen from Thawne and they're tumbling through the time stream but flashers another voice Barry I'm here flash and Batman begin to fall out of time and space itself flash grabs onto the treadmill for his life and Batman is clinging on hoping that the flash has the answer and both of them hear that voice again Barry Batman looks at him Barry listen to that voice grab on to it Bruce we don't know where it'll take us we don't have a choice the voice calls out again right here say my name say J flash is confused J a cocoon a speedsters lightning fly through the time stream as Jay Garrick arrives on the scene at last I'm free he leaps in front of both of our heroes grabbing them trying to run them through the timestream he screams out as the time and space streams around him are trying to absorb him flash in Batman and when he finally gets his footing he's off hang on hang on power enough to get you and then he throws them out of the time stream Oh Kraken the actors of a speedsters lightning ring throughout the Batcave as Batman and flash have arrived flash turns to Jay and asks him who are you did you kill Thawne what do you want with us Jay struggles because like Wally the Speed Force is pulling at him trying to return him back to where it was hiding him I didn't kill anyone Barry he stands with smoke and lightning flowing off of him my name is Jay Garrick I'm your friend a flash listen to me I need you to remember if you remember me like you did Wally Barry thinks hard and a sad look begins to grow on his face he told me I forget things people someone did this do you know who it was and in the timestream begins to reabsorb Jay they took everything from me Barry I don't how and I don't know why Barry reaches his arm out what is your name what was it again and then Kirk whom a giant bolt of Blue Lightning reaches out and grabs Jay removing him from the timeline again smoke swirls in the floor of the Batcave and the flash helps a Batman up the man said that he knew me the same way that Wally did but he's not here maybe he's from another timeline maybe her maybe I was in the lightning-rod than he needed to stay grounded the next day Bruce and Barry stand in front of the grave of Thomas and Martha Wayne Barry asks him I wonder of all of this with dawns doing time rupturing changing people fading in and out of reality like your father and that other flash he died but maybe his death is what triggered all of this maybe there's no one else to chase I appreciate you trying to close the case Barry but it's far from closed so what our primary suspect is God for now that's all we have the two of them walk away from this for now and often space something with blue light is watching over the planet but back in Wayne Manor Bruce is looking out the window thinking about what his father told him don't be Batman bite happiness the bat signal shines in the sky and he remembers the next words let Batman die with me Alfred walks over to see Bruce looking into the sky to signal sir aren't you going to answer that Bruce looks and then he hangs his head low and out in a time and place unknown to us the button is sitting on the ground as the blue light draws closer to it and we see the blue hand of dr. Manhattan reach down and pick it up why does my perception of time to stress you everything is preordained even my responses we're all puppets Laurie I'm just a puppet you can see the strings welcome to the 25th century and the flash museum around you is the museum featuring many of the Flash's enemies and Friends on display for the world to see on the Left you'll see God speeds uniformed and then kid flashes and then multiple flash suits along with a montage of the Justice League and the flash normally the museum is full of Flash's adoring fans those who yearn to know the flash in a way that we do but I felt like you you deserved a private tour and for our first history lesson let me tell you about a man that I know quite well eobard thawne the reverse-flash professor zoom he was many things to many people but to the flash he was his ally his partner his best friend and this is his story back in our current day Barry Allen stands over the body of the reverse-flash recently Barry went on a time-traveling adventure with Batman to discover the mastermind behind all of the DC rebirth timeline stuff they failed to find the culprit but in their adventure reverse-flash was murdered will link that story down below and in front of him Barry is trying to figure out what happened how did the reverse-flash die the doctor's walk into the room and Barry walks out but there's something funny about the reverse-flash you see he's time traveled so much that he is a living paradox to actually kill him well near impossible and that's when a spark of life begins to form in his eye socket but for Barry he's been so absorbed that he's missing a key moment of his life his birthday and as Irish drags him to all of his friends they shout happy birthday everyone is cheering for Barry but he can't help but think about everything that is going on he travelled through time with Batman and it wasn't exactly just an excellent adventure there was so much more happening like the appearance of another speedster one that seemingly saved Barry and Bruce the man with a weird tin helmet and he knew Barry but Barry couldn't think name whoever he was he had been removed from the timeline or Thomas Waynes final words to Bruce where he told them to give up being Batman those words now haunt Bruce Barry looks over at Wally and sees that he's still ignoring him because before all of this he told Wally his identity but while it was mad that Barry hadn't told iris Barry then glances at iris and he thinks about he told himself that he wouldn't tell her to keep her safe that's not really the reason she's the greatest woman that he knows and he didn't want to lose her he then pictures reverse-flash coming in lose her to Thawne yo bart is faster than both flash and Kid Flash and in a blink of an eye Barry would be powerless to watch as reverse-flash murdered everyone that he knows but then he snaps out of it as his fear of losing everyone what is keeping him from telling iris everything everyone continues talking about new houses new lives new jobs the world is moving around Barry faster than he even realizes he seems lost in his own thoughts iris walks over smiling at him don't go doing one of your disappearing acts Barry Allen and then something unexpected happens how Jordan walks over looks like I'm right on time he smiles at his oldest friend he hands Barry a box of the plane in it and Barry tells him great gift I loved it when I gave it to you two years ago how how looks around apologetic well I haven't been home in a while are you sure you gave that to me spend too long out it's just good to see you Hal Jordan left the planet a long time ago to go on a crazy space adventure saving the entire galaxy and I'll link that entire playlist to you down below hell smiles at iris as she walks over and who is this lovely lady Barry so Barry introduces his girlfriend iris West but she pulls Barry aside for a moment after shaking Hal's hand she looks at him you aren't off the hook because of flyboy there where are you Barry we're all here for you and you aren't here Barry tries to talk his way out of it but iris goes on look I know you're hiding something why don't you just rip the band-aid off and fess up Barry's surprised what what do you mean just then people come running by shouting for everyone to get out of there run away and Barry sees one of his villains Danton black AKA multiplex he tells iris to go and he looks at his oldest friend let's suit up he runs past Wally telling him to get iris out of there and then he run towards multiplex with Hal as the red and the green ramp around them because flash and Green Lantern are here multiplex is surrounding a woman with his multiple clones of himself his power telling her that she needs to come back to him she belongs to him and flash runs in with the Green Lantern cracking a joke sounds like you're not the only one with relationship problems flash wasn't that obvious they save everyone and knock out the clones before running over to see an army of more arriving how looks at him think you're fast enough to grab the girl while I clear a path and as Hal bulldozes all of the multiplexes he tells him here I thought your party would be dull and flash grabs the woman this year mines flash why things don't work for him people like multiplex they don't stop they go up to the people that Barry loves his friends his family and even when no stalkers aren't present they make it so that every moment of your life is about them attacking even when you least expect it Thawne went after Batman and he nearly killed him and Barry begins to think about how he'll never forget seeing Bruce's broken body on the cave floor what a Thawne we're gonna attack Hal like that but while Flash's lost in his own head again Hal ding as the shout Barry Barry & flashsticks over to see a literal wave of multiplex is coming at them but while the flash in the Green Lantern are trying to resolve this Wally West carries iris back to their house as they walk in Wally decides that it's time to tell iris about Daniel iris tells him that she knows that he's worried about becoming that monster but when he was the reverse-flash and another voice stops are there actually I hate to quibble but that's what we see yo Barth on sitting on the couch there's only one reverse flash back at the park multiplex is spawning more and more duplicates to lose Hal and flash in the crowd the back with iris reverse flash sees iris telling her it's so good to see you young and full of life mr. West Wally shouts for her to run for it and in an instant he'll Bart is standing in the doorway you know in my time I was an expert on all things flash but for some reason all of that has changed while he hurls a speedster lightning bolt at Thawne but he bats it away while yawning you know I've raced against all of the Flash's protegees but you young wallace west you are new a clear example on the Flash's history being altered I was hoping that you can help me fill in some of the blanks here Bart runs around throwing Wally and iris into the air and as iris grabs for phone he smashes that as well wali suits up how about the kid flash kicks your button and he everybody looks at him Arius tell me something what kind of kid flash are you are you impulsive or the kind that'll live in the Flash's shadow forever while this is going on flash runs so quick that he brings everything down to speedster time allowing him to see the minor movements of everyone to find multi-plex slowing everything down but while he did that for that reason Berbers flash did it to beat the tar out of Kid Flash making him regret fighting him within seconds and that slowed down time state flash notices multiplex looking around at all of them looking for something and he realizes that's the main one he's looking for the girl but back with Kid Flash and reverse flash eobard catches Kid Flash his fist with a boom and then he throws Kid Flash stomping on his leg breaking it you aren't even the real Wallis West back in the park Halsey's flash grabbed the main multiplex and they've won again but back in the house eobard stop son Wally's leg again you see right now the Speed Force is trying to heal your leg but wall is reforming your bone in your muscles what would happen if I broken again iris gets up running towards the bar trying her best to hit him drop him stop him somehow I'm surprised by you miss West after everything your father and brother put you through how could you let a man like the flash into your home and she asks him what are you talking about so he grabs her by the wrist oh you don't know well oh that's an interesting twist back in the park flash and Hal are sitting above everyone on a construct bar so Barry can tell Hal everything Barry isn't sure what to do and how tells him life is short don't hold back they say their farewells and Hal goes back into space to continue on his space adventures Barry runs back to the west household determined to do the right thing finally because life is short or it can be long but every second is a gift he walks up to the door to find it ajar and already he's unsettled by that he walks in to find the place torn apart and Kid Flash in the ground groaning he sees Barry and he tells him this beautiful she's trying to heal me but something is wrong Barry asks where is iris Wally points to the wall sahlan he left you a message Barry looks tough to see you know where I live in the far-flung future reverse-flash carries iris there and he murders someone before her eyes she tries to run but he cuts her off I have to give you a gift the gift of remembering a past life one where I murdered you who is the flash for centuries people saw the flash as a hero he was their Savior they idolized him it was deeper than worship they felt as if he was one of them they thought he understood them it's funny isn't it how you can watch someone from afar and think you know them the truth is only we really know the man behind the mask and right now that man is giving everything that he has eobard thawne aka the reverse-flash has arrived in the present day kidnapping iris West and he has run her into the far-flung future the flash is now on his cosmic treadmill trying to catch up but as he is running faster than ever he begins to think back to when he met eobard he ran into the 25th century once before and as he entered the future amazed by it next to him was an individual in his own costume he reached out shaking the Flash's hand and then he removed his cowl to reveal his true face he explains that his name is eobard thawne and he's a huge fan of the flash he harnessed the residual traces of the Speed Force from one of the old suits the flash wore to King Power similar to the flash Barry removes his cowl and he smiles a future flash I never thought I'd see that well friend want me to teach you some tricks of the trade they both suited back up and they began to overrun with Barry telling eobard that he can call him Barry Allen but Barry quickly discovered that eobard wasn't a hero he was putting people into danger so that he could appear to be the hero Barry BTO bard and as eobard was trying to tell him that he can fix this that he can become the hero that Barry thought that he was Barry had him locked up the next time that they met eobard is in the yellow suit of the reverse-flash and he took the name as well his goal was to make the Flash's life a living hell he did this by going back in time and killing Barry's mother Barry went back in time to correct it but that made the flashpoint timeline and then Thawne arrived again and again to fight against Bear and now Barry has arrived in the future once again but this time this particular time to the future something is wrong the future has changed it is darker more dystopian the civilians run in fear of the flash and the police officer pulls the gun calling for backup at the flash Museum Barry looks around and he realizes that he's at his own memorial and with a whoosh he runs into the museum and he looks around his entire life is before his eyes suits of Godspeed Kid Flash multiple flash suits and at the end of the hallway he sees the reverse flash suit iris calls out for the flash to watch out and then cracked on the left crack on the right thunk in his gut and the flash hits the ground as there's a twisted demented voice hello he looks up to CEO Bart Thawne without his suit welcome to my home I wanted you to see my masterpiece flash gets up and in a whoosh he runs a tear bar to easily sidesteps him you see after my little run-in with death I came home and I found that I was no longer an expert on all things flash so I decided to go back and I'm and see what else had changed within your timeline the first thing that I found was your new sidekick kid flash and that's when I discovered that aunt iris just like me had her history altered iris looks at eobard she doesn't remember anymore does she flash gets back up running over to help her but eobard catches him throwing him to decide it's time that I started with the truth flash while this might be your future it was my present a prison where I felt like a man out of time I was an only child and I lost my parents to a tragic accident leaving me with no friends no family no love but I had the flash I watched every video on you I studied every single story in my darkest moments I was thankful to have you running in my head then there was a miracle a time capsule from the 21st century the costume was in a replica but it had been yours and now it could be mine but dressing like you wasn't enough I wanted to be a hero just like you but in this future there weren't many opportunities so I created my own and I became the fastest man of the 25th century then you arrived and who showed me things that I never were possible you told me every second was a gift it was the happiest day of my life my connection to the flash my special moment which you didn't approve of my methods and you sent me to prison I told you I would make myself better I would improve and I did that I dedicated my life to helping others and eventually I became the curator of this museum so I knew that the next thing that I needed to do was show you how much I've improved I changed my costume to yellow because I was arrogant to think that I could wear yours and yellow was the color that all of your partner's war I then hopped on the cosmic treadmill and I ran back in time I watched you nervously but I knew I just knew it you would accept me again you're more than just a hero you're a friend and then I saw you with that Wally West and you told him every second is a gift that was our moment but it wasn't was it it wasn't special at all it wasn't real none of it was you or two I thought you were you were a liar I ran back to the future with a new goal my mission was to make you live the pain that I did but you don't remember any of that do you and an EO bard hits him across the face do you all of this all the deaths the years of torment for that I was treating you like everyone else in your life I would give you credit for that you did treat me the same you are to me like you heard everyone else flash it's time for you to learn to make time for the people who matter it's time for you and he aborted begins to shoot up as he grabs the flash by the leg he drags him across the ground across the water across the museum as he suits up telling him every second it's a gift he that stops over the flash telling him the real punishment here would be if everyone knew you as I know you he grabs the flash pressing them against the cell that has iris in it iris and West it is my honor no my pleasure to introduce you to a neo bar tears off the Flash's mask Barry Allen off in another future we see a potential life for Barry Allen and iris West one where they have two kids and those kids are not happy they feel neglected and gotten and in response they've destroyed the city the entire city is crumbling and destroyed by berries a battle with his children and in the distance yeah Bart is standing with Barry and iris looking at what they've created eobard explains that dawn and Don should have been heroes but due to their absentee father they became rogues instead when I returned to the 21st century I discovered a few new bits - the Flash's history it was like finding new chapters - my favorite Tupac just one of the many stories inside of this museum Barry looks at Thawne you must have done this this is your fault and Thawne walks back off the history platform that they were standing on in the flash Museum the one that was allowing them to relive the events of the past time doesn't care if you believe me or not - Barry the reality is I'm not Barry Allen's greatest enemy the flashes think about it for years you've been in conflict with yourself the flash always took priority in the battle over the flash versus Barry Allen the CSI the friend the lover why should it be any different when it came to Barry Allen the father their first steps their first words birthday parties what did Barry Allen miss so that the flash could save the day while Thawne was burying this into Barry's mind iris turns our back telling him you lied to me Barry Barry tries to tell her try to explain and she stops him I know your reasons you wanted to protect me right all of those dates you missed Wally now I get it you're the flash you're in the Justice League and I'm just I respect aren't I Barry comes over I was gonna tell you and Thawne chimes in again ah no no no no Barry and all of the timelines you'd never tell iris she finds out herself you are all ways of the liar now if you want to save everything run side by side of me to a place where you'll never hurt another soul again you'll take iris home and leave my family out of this on my life I promised Barry and with that Thawne grabs Barry in a wash they're off leaving Irish trying to finish a sentence I didn't want we could have found another way together they run faster and faster and flash asks Thawne where are we going another timeline and Thawne explains that is not the case I am taking you to a place of my own creation a world you'll never escape the negative Speed Force you'll be forever alone absorbed into the air that powers my every action and as he throws Barry into it he tells him in an iris West future will be over surrounded by the negative Speed Force Barry calls out do promised and the negative energy because to swarm around Barry take over his body enter his own speed force the loss of Mina wally being upset calling him a liar iris of realizing that he lied to her he should have said goodbye there was so much to accomplish still this can't be the end and back at the museum as thought as approaching Irish to kill her there is a crack a comb eobard look somebody sees the most beautiful thing in the world negative flash now covered in gray skin and black gloves with boots and a black lightning bolts on his chest Barry looks at he apart I'm going to kill you Thawne as flash belts Thawne into the statues in the museum Thawne comments that he loves the new flash flash petit is punching thought over and over throwing a through the wall and then they begin to do circles around the world punching back and forth on plates at Barry to join them be his partner be my friend the sidekicks they lap around the world repeatedly over and over wrapping up in a Speed Force ball of yarn and the flash grabs the back at Thawne sanity pulls him close we are not Freud's and then Wars Zac the flash begins to run faster and faster hitting new speeds of insanity runs so fast that he pushes it on through the timestream in at land at the beginning of the world black lightning because to jump off of the flash has fallen books in a Barry we've done this before we've thrown ourselves into the past but the flash is done playing shut up not gonna snap your neck dawn dawn gets up grabbing the sides of Barry's head sending the negative speed force flowing through his mind as he tells him the way you're talking years ago would have broken my art but now it just warms it up it's hard to imagine that was so bad that you forgot me Thawne Barry then leaps into the air grabbing Thawne by the wrists and holding them up do you really want to know why I don't remember all of our history is it because of some big cosmic occurrence or a change in my timeline it's because you they run back into the time she running all the way back to the 20th century and Barry slams Thawne into the computers grabbing up demanding to know why do you keep invading my life and Thawne with a legitimate pain in his eyes looks up at Barry to tell him the truth cuz it's the only time that you'll spend it with me Barry angrily looks you are so pathetic that's why you've tried to ruin my future why you ruined my best he didn't because Darwin circles around fawn you murdered my mother and with that he hits thoughts so hard that he knocks him out of his own speed force and onto the ground he lands on his feet grinning and I'll do it again now it's time for Iris Thawne looks in her two beacons to run right at her and as he falls to his side he realizes that he no longer has the Speed Force inside of him Barry took it away shocked he looks down holding his shin my might my speed and Barry tells him it's gone I tore it from your body just face it dawn you're just a sad little nobody that wanted to be me but no one ever built in the elbe thought museum you and I this thing it's over Thawne smiles you think this is the end you think killing your mother was the worst thing that I do to you years from now you're going to look back into wish that I killed you instead I've lost my powers before word I'll get them back again and then I'll just keep coming back over and over and over again and again and again and that's when the iris blasts him with the black hole gun that was being kept in the museum it literally tears eobard apart revealing his body muscle bone everything warping him away into a flash lightning bolts Barry turns back to Iris what did you do and she holds the gun up at the terrifying sight of the negative flash so he lets the powers drain out of him as he pulls the cowl off iris this is all my fault for lying to you for putting you in this position but I'm telling you it's me it's me Barry Allen I'll explain everything I promise iris we can fix the future together he reaches out to her and the negative Speed Force sparks a zap between them so she reels back in fear and disgust telling him just take me home back at home they both went to Wally's bedside as eobard had torn him up in our last story and iris asks Barry out right is there anything else that you lied to me about he thinks back to this Wally West in the old timeline Wally West though red had the original nephew and how this version really isn't her nephew but a byproduct of a new timeline he doesn't tell her the truth though and he walks away as Barry walks off he thinks to himself how messed up his life has become and that's when we get a glimpse of the Journal of eobard thawne before he went insane when he was still looking for a hopeful and bright future no it's a shame I doubt I'll ever meet the flash and tell him how I feel about him what he truly means to me but even though I have known in my life his sense of hope was a light in the darkness of the future as long as I have that as I have his hope to guide me I'll never be alone while the firefighters started to put the fire out in the evidence room Singh asks Barry if he knows just how important that was to the lab burns and Morrow other individuals investigating the internal affairs situation and the missing evidence warned him about going to the records room alone but he still went anyway and a sing continues to yell at Barry Barry gets up and he walks out singer runs out of his office shouting yeah do what you always do disappear when you're needed Barry Allen how did ours put up with this for so long Barry stops and he looks at him what he turns around yelling I am so sick of your tough-love crap I've bailed you in this crime lab out so many times before I came here your lab was a joke if it wasn't for me the streets would still be crawling with criminals Forrest walks up telling him hey now all of us put in long hours just like you none of the people here deserve what you're telling them and Barry yells at him oh if it isn't the crime lab mascot just sitting there not contributing to the lab sing shouts I'm giving you one last chance to fix this Barry and Barry tells them don't worry if you're unhappy with my work go ahead and fire me already as he walks out he thinks to himself that he didn't want to snap like that he just keeps getting madder and madder this has to be the negative Speed Force inside of him dwelling building up just making him so angry a little while later at Berry's office Kristen walks in telling him that was fun look a few years ago my parents died in a car accident after the funeral my sister and I stopped talking but when my friends caught up to me I was acting out and I told everyone that I was fine and then there was a call from the station and I had to go identify my sister's body Barry remains quiet and Kristen says after all of that I started paying attention to the unsaid things going on so whatever you're going through it's okay and Barry tells her that it's not he's not okay Kristyn stops him telling him don't hide don't push people away you're not alone we're all your friends here we can all work with you okay later Barry and Kristen look at the reports and Barry says that someone has been stealing the blood samples and Kristen tells me that's right after speaking with the guards they said that they were feeling like they were having a heart attack so they didn't see who had started the fire berry flips through the reports saying that if they wanted to dispose of the blood they would need to go where it wouldn't stand out a place where you wouldn't think twice if you saw the blood Barry thinks of the only place that this would be normal the morgue well Kristen was still putting this together Barry takes a chance to run out of the room and Kristen shouts really moments later down on the morgue Barry tells ramsey that he won't let him destroy those blood samples so put the evidence down no one has to get hurt Ramsey says someone always gets hurt and then suddenly Barry starts to shout in pain he asks what are you doing to me and Ramsey says I could do this job forever but when you're a coroner you start to see that it's all just a fantasy every body that I cut into in the name of justice makes me painfully aware of how vulnerable life really is it then takes a scalpel and he presses it against his skin not cutting it though and he says now I'm in a vulnerable never to bleed again Ramsey that explains growing up I found out that I was a hemophiliac the smallest cut could be a death sentence so I needed to find a cure and with my training as a coroner mixed with my medical understanding of my condition it made me an expert in blood and how it works a lot of criminals come into here some being metahumans so when people started to find out that someone was taking samples I needed to protect myself Ramsey meals down telling him you know what it was worth it I'm beyond cured however there were some unforeseen side effects like being able to control blood and make it burn very strong go selling him stop and Ramsey says if you know about me the cops must know too so I might as well go out with a bang and kill you and everyone at the CCPD hearing those words Jules Barry out of his pain and he screams no and a black lightning bolt shoots out into Ramsey throwing him outside of the building as Ramsey's body crashes into the ground people begin to shout it was the flash he just killed that man Barry walks out of the hole no I didn't mean to I think it's all because of the negative Speed Force no better than Thawne then Ramsey shouts all I wanted to do was to protect my selvan instead you just jeopardized it now I need a cool name flash walks up to him telling him you're not a criminal and Ramsey shouts back get Brooke as he goes blood begins to grow out of him Anna smacks into Barry and he yells the flash is an infection inside of Central City and I'm the antibody Barry tries to fight back against the blood and Ramsey tells him I won't be one of your victims blood work will make you the victim now as Barry looks he sees Ramsey now covered in pain letting his blood flow there's no more skin just muscle fiber and blood that's my blood because a spread it grabs into the nearby people and every movement that berry makes destroys the veins and more blood appears while Barry tries to figure out a play in Ramsey shouts this is all your fault buz I wanted to do was to protect myself and Ramsey throws out more veins and as they get close Barry releases a shock popping them burials I don't want to fight you and Ramsey being is to mutate asking then why do you keep attacking why can't you just let me go free Barry tells him because that wouldn't be justice you've hurt people and Ramsey spreads more veins out yelling and I will kill every single person in the city even means and no one will hurt me again as the veins spread outwards going into a spider formation Ramsey shouts you don't know me what could a superhero like you know about pain Barry notices the more that Ramsey gets upset the quicker his blood flows so he has to try something Barry runs back telling Ramsey look we're more alike than you think right now I've let all of the negativity in my life just build up until it exploded I've lied to so many people people who have trusted me all because I thought it would protect them but that was wrong my lies have led to people getting hurt and ever since then I've been pushing people away because I don't want anyone to go through that I'm not the hero that people think I am so please believe me when I say I know exactly what you're going through blood starts to wrap around Barry and Ramsey asks why should I trust you and Barry looks at the ground telling him just think about what I just said I refuse to believe that you would wish to hurt anyone else Ramsey pulls the flash closer asking how do we fix this and the flash tells him we'd do it together I'll do whatever it takes to help you Ramsey's body begins to revert back to its previous form and he asks really and the flash says yes after I stop you the flash grabs onto Ramsey's face and suddenly there's a crack I got home and a lightning strikes down frying Ramsey Ramsey is completely reverted to a human form and he asks what did you just do the flash lets the lightning strike down onto his veins telling Ramsey I'm sorry was the only way but I promise I will help you Ramsey falls to his knees his nervous system shocked to the point of stopping his blood from flowing and soon came the end of blood work later as Ramsey is brought into the station Barry tells him we know you stole those samples and Ramsey grins telling him well where's your evidence Mary asks what and Ramsey tells him to flash just destroyed the board when he fought that monster I was just an innocent bystander in that battle caught up in whatever the flash was up to sing walks out telling him actually he's right without any evidence to prove it Barry we have to let him go as Ramsey dangles his hands he says thank you now would you kindly remove these cuffs before they can Kristen runs up telling everyone don't wait Ramsey isn't as smart as he thinks after some digging he did burn all the hard copies but he left a digital fingerprint all over the records which is more than enough for our arrest Singh takes the report and asks so did Barry help and she tells him yeah team effort Barry Allen was here the whole time Barry steps up telling them no it wasn't I'm not gonna let you cover for me anymore I'd love just as we were cracking the case it was Christine who solved it on her own Singh flips through the pages and then points to his office only both Barry and Christin to get into it Barry says look I know I messed up but from this day forward I'm gonna do better I'm gonna work harder Sing Sing sighs actually we can't keep doing this I had to transfer you out to iron Heights penitentiary Kristen is going with you Barry Kristen shouts what why and sing looks that are telling her it was an opportunity Kristin storms out of the office and though Barry tells her that he's sorry she doesn't even respond later that day Barry watches iris as she gets witness statements from people who watch the fight and he thinks to himself that he needs to take it easy he needs to be himself again and then avoid shouts oh hey iris said she doesn't want to talk to you the flash looks over and sees Kid Flash Wally telling him and neither do I I thought stalking was Dawn's thing Barry tells him whoa I come in peace the truth is I came to see you to give you this the flash holds out his flash ring and Wally asks why and Barry tells him because until I could find a way to control these negative Speed Force powers that fawn possessed me with I can't be the flash anymore and Wally then asks what about the other Wally we ever got to talk about what his deal is and Barry said we will but I have to take care of myself first Wally looks at the ring and he says I've been going through some hard times myself it wasn't until now that I realized that part of it was because I was guilty of the same things that I was mad at you for so no I'm not giving up on you and I will not be taking your ring just like when I got my speed force powers you were there to help train me so now I'm gonna be the one helping you to learn your powers well let's get to training with Wally's help Barry learn something about the negative speed force and no one seemed to know before and that was that if two speedsters were close they could lock their speed forces together and keep it from getting out of hand early one morning during training Barry and Wally responded to a robbery at the local jeweler where black spider and his thugs were in the middle of a firefight with the police another thing that Barry had learned after his run-in with blood work was that the negative speed force could also be controlled by his emotions so with keeping calm and cool he in ways can use the negative speed force to his advantage even if it's still a little chaotic after the flash releases a negative blast at the black spider Wally runs past catching the momentum from the diamonds that were thrown of the bullets that were fired and watching himself at the gunman the store owner runs out shouting that his diamonds are all over the streets there's no way that he could but before he could even finish while he flies by grabbing all of the diamonds stating that there were exactly 110 diamonds once the two went their separate ways it was time for parity start his first day at work in his newly relocated lab in the iron Heights penitentiary iron Heights was originally a military hospital in the mid 20th century but one night there was a terrible fire that ended up trapping hundreds of patients and staff members and none survived since then the building was converted into one of the most secure prisons in the world rivaling even that of Belle Reve as the boat pulls up to the island Kristen looks up and says the place is hell and Barry smiles telling her that it would be worse if they were locked in a Cell wouldn't it Kristen grabs her bag and walks off the boat telling Barry that she still has to work with them and stop smiling it's annoying he was the reason that they both got transferred here and he doesn't get to make jokes about it Barry tells her come on at least we weren't late and once the to get inside warden Wolff tells him that if he wasn't early he may as well be late that is his first strike two more strikes will lead to an automatic termination from the CCPD director Singh may have been lenient on the subject but iron Heights will not being late costs of lives as wolf leads the two of them to with their office he explains it after eobard thawne's escape they've increased security 1,000 fold no one is able to breach their walls or enter without his knowing kristen asks what about someone like the flash and wolf says that it would still be impossible even for him in fact one day I hope to hold the flash in here after all of the damage that he's done to Central City the flash has earned a spot in this cell the doors of the office open and just as Kristen begins to speak wolf says yes this is a cell an older model that has been refurbished for your lab but don't read too much into it this is also for your safety in the event that the prisoners misbehave soon a guard steps in telling Wolf that they have a commotion on the yard and wolf tells the two to allow him to show them how they can manage misbehavior around here everyone walks outside to see two inmates getting ready to fight one of them being August Hart godspeed himself as Augustine the other inmate grab onto each other Kristen asks isn't he going to stop them wolf tells her no they are turning anyone but themselves there is no reason for us to get involved while the to fight below August looks up and sees Mary Allen and the other inmate takes the opportunity gut-punching August wolf then tells them that's enough now it's time for pipeline to report to the yard fun's over the doors open below and a group of armed guards walk out hitting everyone with sonic blasts until they fall to their knees wolf says that he named them pipeline after the wing of the prison that was destroyed during the riot of 2011 pipeline was particularly hard and brutal so it was a fitting name as the guards surround audist and the inmate August punches the inmate one last time in the guards hit him with the sonic disruptors wolf laughs stayed in the pipeline sonic disruptors brings down these animals without even leaving a mark perfect for keeping them all in mine while the inmates are led back to their cells Kristen asks why is he keeping them all in their costumes and wolf tells her that he has allowed them to continue wearing their costumes is a constant reminder of who they really are not only can they never escape iron Heights but they cannot escape their past in iron Heights there is no group therapy no job training no diaper-changing kristen asks isn't that all a bit harsh what if some want forgiveness or redemption and wolf quotes Shakespeare by stating hell is empty and all of the Devils are here Kristen then turns to Barry for support but Barry says that Wolf's right iron Heights is their justice system at work they're not talking about minor felonies this place the worst of the worst most of these people were in and out of Arkham they don't deserve a second chance Kristen begins to question Barry but wolf says that he may have been wrong about him maybe iron Heights is where you belong after all Barry Allen once the workday is done Barry runs after Chris and telling her that he knows that he got him into this mess but they can and Kristin stops him telling him that the day's over goodnight he sighs and starts to call Wally so that they can talk but then something runs by grabbing him and Barry shouts what the hell Wally but a female voice tells him wrong speedster miss me Barry as Barry looks up he sees Meena the woman that he was about to date and he thought was killed by godspeed in the first story arc the link to that is down below a few months ago Meena was a scientist working in STAR Labs studying the Speed Force when she met the same fate as Barry Allen she became a speedster and even worked alongside him but she died when god speed had killed her along with two other speedsters attempting to steal their Speed Force the problem with dying is that that person is gone forever except right now she's standing before Barry Allen she says that she knows that this is a lot to take in but she promises that this will all make sense and Barry stops her asking makes sense it's not like you just went away and you weren't returning my calls you died god speed killed you in two other speedsters mean utterance telling him I think about them all the time they were so scared in so much pain just knowing that I'm alive and that they very tries to comfort her telling her that what happened to them is not their fault and just then Wally comes runnin by shouting to Barry that he got his message and but before he could finish he sees Meena and he immediately jumps in hugs are shouting they're alive how Barry then asks it was you wasn't it when I was training Wally I thought you were alive somewhere but I could never catch up how are you here now Meena explains that the Speed Force absorbed her she doesn't understand it completely but she learned so much she was trapped but she never stopped fighting against its pull and she came back to save him Barry asks what is that supposed to mean and mean it tells him it's the negative Speed Force it's killing you Barry Barry says that eobard had the negative Speed Force for years and it wasn't killing him and me to stop some state and that eobard didn't have the negative Speed Force and the normal speed force at the same time they're clashing against each other and they are tearing you apart Barry then asks so you know this because the Speed Force told you Nina says that she wasn't lying she was inside of the Speed Force she saw things but police she can explain everything just come with her the next morning at the city demolition derby while he asks why exactly they hear nothing was really explained Amina says that she picked this place because he can really let loose here go as fast as he wants and crash into anything the only difference is that he'll be wearing a monitor so that the data on the negative Speed Force can be collected and examined Barry in his flash costume gets ready to run and Wally says wait if the flash runs I'm gonna run with him to make sure that we get what we need Mina tells him that that's fine and just as she gets ready to say ready set go the two have already ran a lap around her wally asks barrios feeling but Barry doesn't answer the negative Speed Force begins to come out and Barry quickly begins to lose control of it running through the cars and destroying everything that he touches well it tries to catch up shouting then he needs to stop but Barry says that he can't didn't mean it needs a test of what the negative Speed Force can do and then before he can finish wally tackles him to the ground stating that he doesn't care what she wants he cares about him and what is he going to do about it fight me suddenly Barry stops and he fights back to negative speed for shouting now I would never hurt you Wally soon the Speed Force begins to fade and Mina yells that that was perfect he might not feel good about it but with that day she can get a better understanding and have him cured Waller that asks Mina what's the deal she suddenly shows about a no where is she doesn't really say where she's been and all she can do is talk about the negative Speed Force Barry stops him telling him to give me a chance and tells me that it's okay Wally and him are just having some trust issues lately as the Sun begins to set Barry and Mina watch Barry says that he's so sorry everything that happened to her it was his fault there's nothing that he can do to make it right Mina tells him that he needs to stop being so hard on himself what happened with the negative Speed Force and God speed it wasn't his fault Mina sighs stated that she used to send to her entire life around things that she could control made her feel safe but then she was struck by the Speed Force Lightning and she allowed some chaos into her life had to learn to let things go maybe he should do the same Barry tells her that he knows or at least part of him knows but the other part is afraid that if he eases up somebody cares about will get hurt the last time that he took a day off was when they watched the Sun Rise together and now the Sun is setting mean it turns back to Barry stating that he is so gullible before Barry couldn't understand what she meant black hole soldiers run out shooting both Barry and Wally with negative energy she begins laughing stating - you are so predictable you always let that big heart get the best of you don't you the soldiers begin a rat Barry op and he says how could you be working with black hole while Shell's I know it this isn't the bina that we knew Barry Minah pulls back her mask telling them you wanted answers so let me show you she begins to run circles around Barry channeling the negative speed force and burials oh do this you don't want this but Meena doesn't answer it after a flash of light everything stops Wally breaks free running over asking what happened your powers gone Barry struggles telling him that he's fine but Meena the negative Speed Force begins to surge and crackle around Meena and she tells him that she wasn't lying when she said that she was coming back to save him now the negative Speed Force is hers meaning it asks do you really want to know why it's because the negative Speed Force is unexplored you've only scratched the surface of what eobard created helping black holes steal the negative Speed Force is just the start using the powers of the negative Speed Force Mina shocks Barry knocking him to the ground Wally runs over to check on Barry but Meena taunts them so he charges at her before he could do anything Mena grabs him by the throat slamming him down shouting all the flash ever talked about was how he could save everyone how come he couldn't save me Barry gets up to chase after her asking what are you gonna do now kill us and she shouts you will let me die I was trapped and you never came for me it was black hole who saved me Barry tells her to wait he was trapped in there before - you can't come back without a lightning rod someone to keep you grounded I could have been that lightning rod for you before he could catch up the negative Speed Force shoots back tripping him and mean it tells him you're lucky the black hole told me to keep you alive right now you have a choice follow me or save Kid Flash the black hole soldiers began loading their guns again and just as they fire barrier runs back to share the brunt of the attack Barry struggle stated that he knows that in Earth's but we can get out of this just connect your Speed Force Lightning to mine using their combined powers the flash and the Kid Flash release enough feedback to short out the energy guns and break free before the soldiers have a chance to react Barry and Wally start taking the soldiers out and they finish as they punch into the last man standing a little while later back at the black hole labs the scientists scanned Mina's body stating that the negative Speed Force has been stabilized but the problem still stands the powers are ripping her apart she shouts that she doesn't care they have a job to do and nothing will get in their way they will learn everything about the Speed Force and but before she can finish is a loud crack a kaboom and all of the scientists are instantly vaporized with the lightning a voice calls out to Mina asking if she's forgotten her place in their plans the first storm that they unleashed as black hole was merely a test next time with our help they will have control of it once that happens Rajan the god of lightning will rain down on this world back with Barry and Wally the to take their time walking home trying to make sense of everything that just happened Barry says they need to find out if black holes controlling Mina and if they are they need to help her as Wally walks up to the porch he says that at least Mina freedom from the negative Speed Force and Barry quietly says yeah but before leaving he asks do you think but while he stops him stating that iris needs more time pretty sure that you do - Barry despite everything though I'm glad that we had today together Barry turns back telling him yeah you're right I mean heads home as wal he gets back inside iris calls out that she's a little offended that he thought he could sneak past her wall he says that he didn't know that she was up this is because of the nightmares and an image of eobard flashes before her as she tells him now Wally tells her that it's okay he has them too whenever he runs he can feel the pain in his knee from the reverse-flash attacked them how about he makes them some tea and they get some sleep but back with Barry he runs thinking that Mina did at least make him realize something can't do this alone he is much better with another by his side before Barry could finish that thought though his phone rings and on the line Warren Wolff tells him that he needs to get to iron Heights something's happened there's been a murder standing behind Wolff are two black hole soldiers growing up Barry loved to read good mystery novels he wanted to be a detective who solved cases using the evidence in quick thinking to find out who did it but after becoming the flash there was one part of those mysteries that he grew to hate at the beginning with every step that he takes towards the crime scene he's afraid of what he'll find as he rushed into iron Heights he pushed past the guards asking where is she where's Christine and instead of finding what he dreaded the most he sees something that was just as confusing the dead body of one of the ROK's Roscoe Hines aka turbine Christine tells Barry to calm down she is nearly done with the scene though they're gonna have to go do an autopsy her first guess is the cause of death would be strangulation very things back to how turbines time tramped in the Speed Force twisted his mind but his question is how did turbine even get out of his cell director sings voice calls out that that is not an investigation for them to figure out they are no longer CSIS their duties are to preserve crime scenes now Barry tries to reason with Singh but he just tells him that he would hate for their first interaction to be the two of them not following orders again before Barry can continue to argue digging himself deeper into a hole warden Wolfe shouts asking what are you all doing standing here you need to do your jobs and get out of my prison singing begins the state that he's going to need the security footage in the last 24 hours to make sure that there wasn't any foul play Wolfe tells them that they are all his he's got nothing to hide while everyone starts to try and piece together at the crime scene another voice calls out it was me it was the one-armed man and now witness my daring escape everyone turns back to see axel Walker the rogue known as trickster running towards everyone Barry thinks that this would be an easy enough job for the flash but security would learn his identity but that doesn't mean that his secret identity can't do the job he quickly moves and he cracks trickster in the job allowing the guards to restrain Wolff feels out there's no way that he could have killed turbine he was locked up in his cell and nobody gets past my security as tricksters dragged off Christine dimensions that trickster kills turbine and then confesses Barry thinks she's right that would be way too easy the best way to find out what's going on would be to ask the other inmates there wouldn't be anyone willing to talk to him though except August Hart also known as Godspeed August was one of the first cops that would actually ask for advice on crime scenes he didn't just write Barry off as some lab rat instead he treated him like an equal he was hit by lightning during the Speed Force storms so Barry had to train him to fight alongside the flash except August felt like being a hero meant more than just saving lives it meant that he could kill criminals and he became a murderer he became God speed Barry asks him what does he know about turbines to death and August says that there's something different about him like he's got some darkness in his eyes there he ELLs you don't know anything about me now what do you know about turbine August tells him that turbines of death is just the tip of the iceberg the detective in him is seeing all kinds of red flags his gut is telling him that Barry shouts your gut last time you trusted your gut and an innocent man was killed and you had no sign of remorse in doing so you aren't even a cop anymore Barry balls of his fists but a guard walks by telling him that he knows it's against the rules to be speaking to the inmates right best move along as night comes Barry and Wally do what they do best and they help stop a bank robbery as flash and Kid Flash with two opposing groups fighting against each other to rob the bank however as the two speedsters leave the scene the crime boss Copperhead watches she says that her men would have been in and out if their guys didn't show up the conflict between the two organizations isn't good for business a voice that asks now you see why union between our sides would be beneficial then Copperhead tells The Voice fine and tells his boss that she'll agree with the plan as she walks away mera master appears in the window smiling back at iron Heights the guards make their rounds on the inmates but as the guard passes by Captain Cold he begins to ghal inch below iron Heights Captain Cold is sitting on his frozen throne with the money spread all around him asking what's the word on Copperhead mirror master tells him she's gay and cold says told ya she couldn't resist what we've built up safe and hidden away from the flesh and the CCPD as cold goes on about his plans for his underground crime ring August steps up in front of all of the other criminals asking what do I have to do to get this collar off cold sister golden Collider asks why are they even entertaining this guy he's not a rogue and cold scratches his chin telling his sister you bring up a point what could you possibly offer the Rogues August August eyes light up and he tells them that he can give them what they've always wanted the flash later is Barry and Christin go through the contents of turbines cell they come across a stack of books most of them are just law books but there's one that Christine finds that stands out a Christmas carol Barry looks at it stating that this book is about Redemption turbines files said that he was a model inmate who stayed out of trouble without any kind of evidence they're not going to get anywhere Christine tells him that they both know that that evidence was always there they just have to know where to look they sneak into their office and then they make their way to the solitary confinement to check on trickster but when they pull the door open they find trickster without his prosthetic arm and black eyes Kristen asks what did the guards do to him and just as trickster begins to explain what happened after they took his arm he stops himself and he asks what do you want Barry says that if the guards are abusing him they're going to get him out trickster tells him and I thought I was the one with the jokes Barry that asks why would a rogue kill a rogue you all used to be thick as thieves what changed that trickster grips his mask stating that the Rogues are stronger than ever turbine was always going on about forgiveness in the error of his ways he was gonna rat us out he needed to go away but before Barry could ask another question both him and Kristen are grabbed by the guards and Wolff asks what are you doing here Barry tells him what any good CSI does finding the truth Chris and asks what did you do to the kid what kind of warden are you and Wolff asks them are you questioning my authority that's strike two and if I catch you investigating this or disobeying my orders again you are done here he sends them back to their office but Barry knows he's just gonna have to investigate this alone otherwise he's going to get Kristen in trouble he heads over to tricksters cell and when he turns the corner he sees August standing there out of his cell August whispers you gotta trust me but before Barry could ask August yells why don't you mind your own business and scurry off to your lab August then goes back to his cell and as Barry starts looking through tricksters things he finds the book a Christmas carol Barry thinks that August is one of the best detectives in Central City he would never be dirty he wouldn't know how to play into evidence which is why this is such an obvious plant as Barry searches he finds a drawing of a map of Central City with a marker and an act stating 6:00 p.m. sharp so after work Barry heads over to Wally because all of this has the markings of being a [ __ ] and what they find out is copperheads men are loading up cargo that was given to them with the two trucks Barry dismantles one of them before they can escape and the other starts to drive off Wally gets ready to chase after it but Barry tells him to hang on he kicks over one of the crates to pull out a very large gun and he says wait this isn't like any gun I know this design he pulls the trigger releasing a blast freezing the rest of the crates that were left behind Wally says that's one of Captain Colt and Barry says yeah box is a captain cold guns cold is the only expert at building these guns there should be no reason why these guys even have it bury grabs the thugs asking where does this tunnel lead and the thug shouts Copperhead will kill us bury that asks the thug you do know that normal human eyeballs can burst at certain speeds right and the thug shots okay okay copperheads been feuding with some new guy over the crime world of Central City these guns are supposed to be a peace offering from them so we worked out a truce while he says he's gonna follow where the other truck went and berries is good keep a safe distance from them I'm gonna follow this tunnel I see exactly where it leads he bolts down it and finds himself in a facility but on one of the doors he reads the words iron Heights hospital suddenly the doors slam shut and a voice tells Barry I know that look that Detective mind of yours is working but you're figuring it all out just a little too late Barry looks back to see August and August goes on telling him you're right where you belong Barry says that he should know that a cell can't hold him he can just vibrate through but just then a blast of cold air hits him and freezes him in place behind August the rest of the rogue step out to watch and another voice tells the flash I'm gonna say knowing the flash is still out and running around just doesn't sit with me me and the Rogues are happy here this setup is the best thing that we could have asked for safe from the cops safe from the flash as cold finishes wrapping up his fist it cracks his knuckles stating you're in my world now cold starts punching down into Barry asking him you know every time my dad would hit either me or my sister he would always beg for forgiveness then he would just do it again and again the flash starts fighting back yelling you're not your father and Cole tells him I know I would never ask for forgiveness with one last punch cold knocks the flash down while the other rogue starts sheering cold then kicks the flash in the stomach telling him I gotta say I'm kind of glad to flash a witness the Rogues big win any minute now those cold guns the peace offering they're going to explode giving Copperhead and anyone around her the worst case of frostbite ever Copperhead will be dead and Central City will belong to the Rogues as the Rogues outside the cell watch August smiles stating that that's just what he was waiting to hear and he turns back punching heatwave weather wizard asks if he's insane and August doesn't probably and he flips the cold switch off in the cell just as the Flash's powers begin to return he makes quick work and knocking everyone out he then grabs August by the shirt in August throws telling whoa whoa I was on your side I only joined the Rogues to find out what their plan was to kill comprehend the flash says let's go we're gonna have a long talk after I save Copperhead he then realizes that wall-e is chasing after those guns and August tells him go I'll keep the rope secure and get wolf as the flash races out of iron Heights he radios over to Wally frantically asking him if he's there Wally quietly responds yeah I followed the truck with Captain colds guns directly to Copperhead but don't worry about a thing I'm gonna take care of this the flash shouts room wait those guns are bombed however of course Wally doesn't hear the message and he runs up to Copperhead telling her to freeze and yes pun intended Copperhead looks at I'm asking what are you doing because it looks like you're trespassing and I highly doubt you have a warrant see you might as well run back to the playground just then there's a beep and all of the guns and the crates begin to explode while he tells Copperhead to get behind him because just as the explosions are about to take them both out the flash runs through grabbing them once the police arrive Barry gives his reports to the detectives and he says ultimately they have to let Copperhead go Wally shouts come on just working with Captain Cold and Copperhead asks why would he try and kill me then this is just a case of the wrong place at the wrong time I have no idea why those cold bombs are sent to me I'm just an innocent bystander with a terrific lawyer Copperhead then goes to her car she sits in the backseat telling the driver that is done they have no idea that they run the show now back at iron Heights wolf begins wrapping up and clearing out Colts hideout stating that their only witness here is a murderer August tells him that he knows what he is but this happened on his watch the Rogues used the tech concealed inside of their costumes that he let them wear cold last telling him who's gonna believe the word of a killer and Barry walks in out of costume stating they don't need to they only need to believe the evidence wolf asks what are you doing here with Singh and Barry tells him I'm not allowed to investigate turbine's murder but singers he then explains that while examining turbine's body there were a rare cold residuals left behind Leonard snart has been using cold guns for so long that it's left an imprint similar to a gunshot residue as Barry scans Cold's hands he says that Captain Cold is responsible for turbine's death not Trixter cold learned that turbine was going to report what's going on so he killed the turbine and had trickster take the fall cold showers no one betrays the Rogues it was eye for an eye what are you going to do I'm already locked up Singh says that's true but he has idea of a place that can handle him but then Singh then goes on to say that this was an impressive screw-up Wolf's way worse than the inmates running the asylum I'm gonna have to report this however kristin rushes up telling singh to hang on being warden of iron Heights is a big job wolves methods might be hard but they are needed Singh tells her that he's disappointed to hear say that Barry says that he'll go ahead and walk Singh out and as they leave Kristin says that everyone deserves a second chance right wolf pulls Kristin to the side telling her I may have misjudged you there's a case you might be able to help me on something I'd like to keep hush-hush before leaving for the day Barry stops by August to sell stating that he could have escaped August tells him that there was a moment where he thought about it both the wind on his face as he raced his god speed but not stone walls do not a prison make he goes on stating that even though what he did his God speed is terrible he had to forgive himself but until he earns the Flash's forgiveness this is where he belongs however you Barry you do not belong here in iron Heights when your mother passed you use that grief to build a prison for yourself so no matter how many times you've tried to move on you've always held on to a piece of that prison so trust me when I state the you served your time so Barry visits his mother's grave looking for that forgiveness tricksters released snart goes to Belle Reve and kristin is working with Singh to investigate wolf right now he's trying to do the best that he can be forgiven for the lies that he told and the mistakes that he made he knows that forgiveness isn't cut and dry it's a mystery and one that he can't solve and the only person that he wants to try and solve it with is her and he asks her iris can you just forgive me since man's earliest days they've always been fascinated with power it gives control of the life and death and it would make sense that man would steal it repeatedly because it's what defines you its power that rules the world and without a to man would be nothing and now its rightful owner once that power back in the current time Barry Allen stands in the graveyard of his deceased mother asking iris the one thing that he's always wanted forgiveness when Red Death attacked central city they saw each other and she said iris tells Barry that she knows what she said she said that she missed him and she meant it ever since he started working with Wally again he's been happier it meant a lot that even though they weren't talking Barry's always been there for Wally but with everything that's happened Barry says that he knows and he would never want to rush her he's sorry for how he acted after Thawne and all of the lies that he told he just really misses his friends after a few moments of silence iris tells him it's okay but there's something that she's going to need before anything she needs to talk to him to see his life and how he lives Barry sighs and says great anything you need in a blink of an eye iris has swept off her feet by Barry in his flash costume and he says I'm sure you have a lot of questions Irish tells him please I had it figured out the moment Thawne ripped the mask off the night the lightning hit the crime lab is when you've got the Speed Force you used it in your knowledge of science to make a bright red suit to do could be a hero in Central City the real reason you've always been late is because you were out saving the world now show me the chapter a flash that I haven't read before meanwhile in another part of town a police escort hits the road transporting dr. Carver and Kid Flash is keeping a close eye on it Carver should be on Kid Flash is hate list but he was with black hole when they unleash the Speed Force storm that helped turn him into who he is now right now Carver is on his way to stand trial for his crimes but one would think that black hole would try and free him during his transfer to iron Heights just as Kid Flash gets close as a purple blur and a female voice asking if he wants to race as Avery jumps unto Kid Flash trying to hug him he asks I thought you were busy with the Justice League of China Avery tells him there's no way that she was gonna miss Carter's trial as the two continued to talk there's a loud screech coming out of the police escort best sudden explosion Kid Flash and Avery worked together to try and pull people out of the fire but then they see carver and it's too late for him as Kid Flash looks at Carver's burning body he says that this is a crime scene now but why would black hole want to kill Carver just then lightning is a strike and Avery looks up stating uh Kid Flash back with Barry he returns to Central City carrying iris after a visit to the watchtower iris tells him that she needs to know everything before they can continue with this in the back of Barry's mind he thinks everything would be telling her about the flashpoint event and explaining to her that she really has two nephews named Wally Wally himself said that he wasn't ready to tell her and if he was to tell iris everything about being flashed she would have to reveal fact if you're confused there are actually two Wally West when the new 52 started after flashpoint we got a new kid flash once we get to DC rebirth the original redheaded Wally came back to keep things less confusing going forward we will be referring to the new 52 Wally West as Kid Flash in this story and we will be referring to DC rebirth Wally West as Wally that's when a voice rings out in Barry's head stating that if he does then she won't want Barry Allen Barry steadily stops putting iris down and she asks what's wrong and Barry says did you hear that the voice tells him that being flash is the only thing that makes him special why would a woman like iris want to know the real Barry Allen if she can have the flash iris begins to say that she doesn't hear anything but as she says it her speech begins to slow down until she stops and moving Barry looks around and now can see that not only iris but all of Central City is stopping except for him the voice then tells Barry come and Barry sees the lightning strike across the city he rushes over to where it hit and then he sees that it's struck to the Central City Police Department and as somebody put a giant lightning rod on top of it lightning begins to strike at several more times cracking aah cracking aah cracking aah boom and soon Barry begins to see something coming out of that light something human-shaped the voice tells Barry that he defeated them once before but this time they had speed multiplex begins to reach out grabbing Barry and another voice asks didn't your mother ever teach you sharing is caring or did she die before that Barry looks back asking Meena this is who you're working for this is the leader of black hole the man besides Mena tells him my name is Rajan master of lightning and I a soldier in this conflict my Lord and Master is the true God of the speedforce now bow to him the voice from before returns it it tells bury we haven't seen each other in a long time but I've always been with you every time that you would rattle on about your mother loves friends you were confessing I know all of Barry Allen's secrets your inner Lori's even your fears and now it's time a diet arm reaches through the darkness grabbing Barry pinning him down and Barry looks up to seek oh really garage garage shots the superior force will finally belong to me because my life depends on it Barry manages to free himself yelling you can't control me so why don't you just tell me why you're dying instead Grodd tells him death stalks me due to a rare degenerative disease that most of my fellow Apes avoided but slowly I am losing my mind to this infection he begins to cough telling him her as much as I hate it sharing gorilla city technology with black hole was necessary a lightning rod was constructed that will draw forth the Speed Force and save my life central city has been drained of all of its speed and everyone inside is trapped in the moment if any wood is to enter this field they too will meet the same fate Barry begins to fight back against multiplex yelling I could help this is not the answer we can work together to find a cure garage and garage shouts the Speed Force is the only way and I will tear away what belongs to you now Rajat Rajan pulls out a wand and he says I was just a lowly star lab scientist obsessed with the Speed Force that was until I heard Lord grodd's voice it freed me and with this lightning rod I'll be able to control the Speed Force storm and studied Barry punches into Raja and asking him at what cost and Rajan grabs him by the neck pinning him to the ground telling him Lord Grodd promised me the secrets of the Speed Force I would die for him just then Kid Flash punches Raja and telling him luckily Flash's don't kill as Rajan falls to the ground he lets go of the wand and Avery jumps in grabbing and asking did anyone catch that awesome flip Barry then asks what are you doing here you need to run take the lightning one and get as far away from here as you can Kid Flash tells him no way we can but Barry yells over I'm telling him Grodd is more dangerous than anything we you've encountered please go Avery grabs Kid Flash by the arms telling him you heard the man it's time for us to go Grodd then tells berry don't pretend you're sending the children away to save them you just wish to keep them ignorant of what I know about you the truth about Barry Allen who you really are you're a child who couldn't save his mother a boy unable to prove his father's innocence a man unloved but that all changed would you became the flash soon you would have friends you would catch your mother's killer and you would prove your father's innocence you had it all the Speed Force made you special but deep down you knew in your heart without those powers you would be nothing Barry finally collapses from grodd's mental attacks and rod tells multiplex to prepare him Mina begins to hook Barry up to a device and tells him if you want to survive this don't fight it once Barry is in place Garage tells me to to begin and she connects the generators together and as the Lightning starts to course through Barry and the surrounding area of meanie Gelles it's too powerful Barry tells them to stop stop right now and as the power begins to fade rod tells him now the world would know who the real hero is without powers and just like that Barry Allen is no longer the flash Grodd calls out that the Speed Force burns at his veins but it's not enough I need more he reaches down grabbing Barry by the head and he tells Rajan to go ahead and retrieve the one to bring me the other speedsters but first there is something I must show our fallen hero he steps up to his throne and it shoots into the air Grodd holds out Barry's body telling him I was wrong about you you aren't nothing garage spits at his face telling him you're less than nothing you're just human he lets go of Barry's of wrist and Barry begins to feel himself falling back to the ground he starts to accept his fate as he hears someone telling him not so fast and Wally catches him before he hits the ground Barry asks somehow and Wally says I saw the lightning from over at Keystone and raced over and never mind that why are you falling Barry doesn't answer him right away but that's when another voice calls out to Wally he looks over and Wally asks is that kid flash kid flash asks what are you doing here and avery asks what happened to Grodd Wally then turns back to Barry asking Grodd he's as scary as they come if that ape is here we're gonna need to come up with a plan and take him down together right Barry but after a few moments of not responding Barry finally Falls stating rod may have beat me but he didn't beat the flash and while even says I know just tell me how to that Barry stops him telling him no you don't understand Barry Allen is no longer the flash at Central City you are a short while later at the Speed Force training centre Barry begins running and shouts come on come on and then he trips over his own leg Avery tells him that he's right his connection to the Speed Force is gone whatever Grodd did he's once again a powerless member of the human race the only thing that is not keeping him frozen in place like everyone else is these super small traces of Speed Force that are still in his system and even that that's about to wear off Avery begins running around the lab gathering up more tools to test with but Barry calmly tells her to just relax Kid Flash asks how could he be so chill about this then Barry says it's because garage said that he was dying I believe even before this he always felt the Speed Force belong to him he'd even killed for it we can't let that scare us kid flash then asks how are we supposed to stop Grodd without you and Wally's voice says rod is gonna have to go through me first Wally slides in stated that he just did a bit of recon around the whole city and it turns out that everyone has occupied at the lightning-rod and not looking for them have you had to guess then they're waiting to make a move Avery says that black holes lightning rod is draining speed from everything in Central City if it gets to full power and is triggered by Rajan's wand it would engulf the entire world and steal all of the Speed Force including their own kid flash says that he loves these powers he doesn't want to lose them just what he's getting used to them and Avery sighs telling him she doesn't want to lose them either when god speed was killing speedsters she was willing to sacrifice the Speed Force but now it's a part of who she is Barry places his hand on her shoulder telling her not to worry we're gonna stop Grodd long before he takes your powers Barry then says after looking over Mina's computers the Lightning fraud isn't just dealing speed it's slowing everything to a crawl and if it hits absolute zero everything dies Wally says that they're gonna have to evacuate the city like now and Barry tells everyone Wally's right but we're gonna need Kid Flash and Avery to leave the city they need to stay on the run not in Central City Kid Flash yells no way not this time I'm not letting you that Barry talks over I'm telling him now Kid Flash scoffs so be like that huh all the times you told me to run it's never been to run away from a fight a second later both Kid Flash and Avery leave and Wally says you know you could have been a little nicer about it berry berry walks over to the table telling him you don't need me to be nice when you need for me is to become the flash again and with this wand I'm gonna get my powers back Wally says that he is the flash it's starting to sound like you don't trust me very much without even responding to the comment Barry looks over at the wand telling him this is the key if I can adjust it and plug it into the lightning rod I could get a jump start Wally tells him that if it backfires then you've just given Grodd what he wants we gotta destroy the wand Barry says all I need is time evacuate the city and find iris while I Wally reach is that telling him it's time you took a step back Barry but Barry tells him I built a treadmill I can travel through time I could handle a fancy lightning wand Wally pulls on Barry's shoulder but Barry shakes I'm off shouting I need this and after the two of them stare at each other while he says you want time you got it and he runs out of the lab back out in the city avery asks Kid Flash are they really gonna listen to Barry and Kid Flash tells her yeah no in fact I'm already working on a plan Mina can track speedsters to the Speed Force that's how we met in the first place so if she wanted she would have located us a long time ago which means Grodd totally has her brainwashed we're gonna snap her out of it while Wally starts taking everyone out of the city Barry continues his work on the wand and after breaking the component he gets frustrated and grows it but for Wally he finally gets to the person he wanted to avoid his aunt iris she was always there for him but since he escaped the Speed Force he's never there for her like she was for him but before he could even think further Rajan calls out flash and as he sees that it's just Wally's as oh it's you the Pretender I was told iris West might be the target to allow us to catch the real flash however Lord Grodd demanded that we collected the sidekicks as well Wally shouts you want the flash that you got me as Wally takes on Raja and Barry heads out to the only other place that he knows that he might be able to get help iron Heights penitentiary he holds the broken wand and he heads over to Karstens lab where she's found frozen holding a tablet Barry says that he's sorry for doing this and he taps the override button on the tablet and he leaves he walks over to the containment cells stayed in the black hole is back and they've attacked Central city I believed you when you said you wanted Redemption and right now central city needs you so please Godspeed August steps out of his cell in his Godspeed costume telling him of course that's a friends of four Barry back with Wally he begins to beat into Raja and asking worded multi-plex take iris West we're through Rajan's cracked mask he laughs dating we took her to a real safe place we need the girl for bait so we won't hurt her yet Wally asks what does garroted once he already took Barry's speed and Rajan begins the last stating that Grodd knows flash better than he knows himself stealing his speed is only the beginning of my Master's rise to ultimate power meanwhile over in the heavy Barry and august's are sifting through more black hole files when Barry comes through the original schematics for Raja and lightning want as he looks at it he says that this is what they needed they should be able to alter the wand enough so that they can steal back at the Speed Force August tells him wait a second that's why you broke me out this isn't about stopping black hole but rather getting your powers back Barry says that this is about doing what it takes to save central city I need the Speed Force back August takes off his mask telling him you're starting to sound real familiar it's starting to sound just like me that sound of being obsessed especially when it comes to the Speed Force I killed for it and yet I was freed from iron Heights why Barry tells him that he's seen what grodd's done to the city this is what will happen to the rest of the world if he doesn't get his powers back that is why this wand needs to work August leans in telling him there are plenty of other Tagalongs that you could have asked for help why did you free me Barry Barry says it's because he knows black hole and their secrets August tells him no you just wanted your bad friend to give you a pass you don't want my help you want my permission so when this is all over you can blame all the hard choices on me Barry sighs telling him Grodd came to Central City because of me I couldn't leave him myself if I didn't stop it and getting my powers back is my best bet to stop the rot if we can race past grodd's army you can get me close to the lightning rod and then we can lock the Speed Force within me has to work August says my guts are telling me that this was a mistake and Barry says I broke you out because despite everything that we've been through I still trust you so now can you trust me across town Meena leaves to go make the final calibrations for the lightning-rod when she suddenly stops she looks around for a moment and says you can show yourselves now both Kid Flash and avery stump and Meena tells them that they are brave to be entering the Lions Den now what do you want Avery says that they looked at her equipment at the Speed Force training center that lightning rod is going to do more than just drain speedsters it's going to kill everyone I mean it says that they they're too young to understand rod getting a Speed Force is a good thing Kid Flash yells Grodd is messing with your head you need to fight back you're already doing it by not tracking us down Mina begins to generate power from the negative Speed Force that she took out of Barry Allen telling the two of them that she doesn't need their help she's right where she belongs the Lightning shoots out of her hands and then there's a white blur that runs past grabbing Kid Flash an Avery I've always tells Mina I am super sorry about the whole killing you thing we be friends once the blur stops Kid Flash looks at August asking Godspeed also at that moment Wally runs up shouting to Barry you got to get the wand away from but Barry doesn't know my powers are the only thing that's going to save us but while everyone tries to figure out what's going on because now we have very yelling at Wally that he needs the lightning rod and we have Nina with a negative speed for us trying to fight against everyone and on top of all of this we have God speed Mina calls to Grodd to listen to her thoughts send multiplex seconds later multiplex appears to fight everyone and Barry tells them all to keep him covered while he gets closer to the lightning rod as Kid Flash Avery and Wally all begin to fight one of them hits the real multiplex and suddenly all of the multiplex is vanish Kid Flash says nice one of us must have gotten the real one and Avery tells him it was totally her they all looked back to see Mina and August fighting and Kid Flash asks which one do we fight Avery then says they should just watch hopefully it'll take out each other and Wally then looks around asking where is Barry but up ahead and Barry says that he's sorry Wally tries to run at him shouting not to do it and Barry slams the wand into the lightning rod telling them all this will save you all Wally screams Joe but after berry pushes the wand all the way down lightening begins to strike in Barry Allen turns back into the fastest man alive but that's when grodd's voice tells him you're right where I wanted you all alone I took what made you special and you got what you needed but both of us did bringing the wand back increase my mental connection to the Speed Force now I no longer needed to control the storm I am the Speed Force storm and you have given me a gift beyond your wildest nightmares Barry Allen Barry begins to run towards garage but as it gets closer something shoots by kicking him off his feet garage tells him you risked all of it because you thought you are the only one to protect this city and because of that a new army has been made and no matter how fast you are you can't possibly fight it Barry looks up but he sees Wally and the others each of them staining worship Grodd or die with no other choice Barry could somebody because don't run but in the back of his mind Garage continues to taunt him Barry Allen you're so obsessive protecting your life is the flash that you didn't even think who you would hurt in the process Barry hears the voice coming out of Kid Flash but as he turns he sees nothing he shouts whatever game you're playing at using my family is unforgivable every runs by asking is it because you're an expert at hurting your family and that August runs by telling him garage showed me what you really think of me you think of me as nothing more than a killer August then passes by a second time punching Barry into a nearby truck and Barry says it was wrong for me to break you out but together the force pieces all yell at him liar the only thing that you were thinking about was a you needed your powers to save everyone Barry tells everyone you have to fight back you could win this together and then Wally runs in telling him stop lying you didn't have any faith in us or you would have trusted us you thought only you could save the day Wally begins to chase after Barry and as Wally gets closer Barry tells him you have to remember back to the day we met who was with you wallet he gets a slowed down telling him uh aunt iris and Barry tells him I know you're in there you have to fight it Wally Wally stops struggling to remain in control and he says garage whatever the Lightning wad did made its connection to the Speed Force even stronger he wants to see you truly do before he takes all the speedforce for him Southbury as wally goes on he falls to his knees shouting out in pain and Barry tells him you need to keep fighting Wally Wally looks up and to where Wally Grodd tells him you are such a fool while he grabs Barry by the leg and begins to drag him throughout the city but as he's thrown back to the ground Grodd tells him you have lost and now with the Flash's connection to the Speed Force I am the Lord and Master of the Speed Force Garage digs his fist into the ground going on telling him Mina was the easiest to control she had real anger Barry gets back up telling him this is between you and me but before he can finish every August Kid Flash in Wally I'll start hitting him shouting all you did was push us away as the four go on Barry doesn't fight back and instead he accepts each blow he falls to the ground and garage shouts demanding to know why aren't you fighting back Barry sits back up but he tells him I thought you were inside my head but no matter what I do you'll never get into my heart because of that I will never ever raise a hand to my family he stands back up holding his arms out telling him you're gonna have to kill me so go ahead Grodd begins to growl asking this is how you want to win a moral victory do you ask for death to mock me hide what could save you Barry tells him you won't just stop with the Speed Force you hunger for more power and you won't stop until you of the world under your fists broad punches into Barry asking you think you know me you would kill for the family that you're pushing away if I can't have the love of gorilla City and the Speed Force is a worthy substitute why use these gifts to run when you could use them to rule it was a waste of your power after knocking Barry away grunting as a charge towards Barry as he stands back up he looks back at he smiles while holding the Lightning wanted Grodd asks what are you doing and Barry tells him that he was collecting the pieces that he needed to adjust the lightning want to create a very specific frequency in the Speed Force and he's going to do what he was supposed to do from the start as garage gets closer Barry charges the wand with the Speed Force and garage grabs onto it feeling this before shoot through out Tim berry then says I'm doing everything in my power to save you garage as an explosion goes off while he runs over telling him rod had his teeth firmly clamped into our brains and Barry pushes some rocks off of him telling him not anymore he doesn't you're all free for that thank you wally asks what are you talking about you just saved us all Wally Elsberry up and Barry tells him you were the flash I should have trusted you to handle this on your own and you did while he says that he didn't though iris is still missing and Barry stops him telling him we'll find her August asked so what did Barry do about the big ugly monkey Grodd weakly says he cured me the disease is gone but I am also powerless Barry tells him that his mental powers were a part of his heritage he'll still have those but whatever connection he had to the Speed Force is gone forever now it's time to turn that lightning rod off and return to gorilla City to enjoy your new lease on life garage bride yells as he hits the controls on his throne and Mina's shouts you can't let him turn it off the Lightning is the only thing keeping the store and check a lightning rod begins to build up power and wally asks do you feel it Barry tells him yeah the storm isn't just filled with Speed Force energy anymore it's the negative Speed Force energy in there as well the lightning rod begins to rip apart the city and garage yells I would rather be dead than live without power and I will take central city with me marry quickly jumps up and because to attack Grodd so that he can give the time to everyone else to evacuate the rest of the city but while Barry yells - Wally - keep looking for iris Grodd slams him into the ground shouting the studious lost further proof that you are nothing even with powers Grodd begins to punch him over and over again and just as he delivers the final blow he feels something Grodd looks back to see Barry and Barry starts punching into him asking how I just saw you and Barry asks saw me beaten to a pulp yeah I use that connection that we made to make you see what you wanted you killing the flash Barry reaches up to help draw it up and garage tells them pull back your hand I would rather be buried under my final triumph then live another day without the Speed Force but just ends lightning cracks and three guards in gorilla City appear stating that he will not die here it is their duty as the gorilla city guards to arrest garage his presence here has been known them since the attack but they couldn't enter until the lightning-rod fell garage will pay for his crimes but not by a human's hand they needed to worry about Grodd ever again before berry Haven has a chance to stop them there's a loud crack and another bolt of lightning strikes right where Barry is standing at the last second while he pushes them out of the way stating you should know better than standing still during a lightning storm oh and no worry about iris I found her the rest of the speedsters run up and August asks that I really just see a bunch of flying monkeys or am I finally losing it Avery then says that they got everyone out of the city but Grodd is right central city is gone meaning it takes out a tablet and says that it's worse than that the negative Speed Force is spreading fast it'll soon overwhelm central city and then Keystone Barry tells it that there's only one choice race around the city to let the Speed Force lock in with it and steal the speed from it that should dissipate the storm Mina says that this is the opposite of the speed force storm that's why it's destroying everything instead of giving everyone powers even if they make it out alive they could lose their powers for good Barry looks at himself and says I didn't say we I fought hard so I can get my powers back but I was wrong I don't need them all I need is the flash family now all of you run make sure that everyone is safe Wally ask some are you planning a doing what I think you're gonna do and Barry stops him and says there's a letter on my desk addressed to Iris so both of you to read give it to her tell her that I loved her but as Barry finishes he begins to run Wally catches up to him yelling this world needs Barry Allen I need Barry Allen don't you get that we need you to be the fastest man alive if running into the storm is the only way to save the world then you're not doing it alone as the other speedster starts to run up August then runs with them asking let's take bets as to who's the fastest and Barry tells him Green Lantern and green arrow used to take bets the truth is we're fastest when we run together all six speedsters begin to run to contain the storm and as Barry said the storm slowly begins to dissipate once it finally fades Wally yells yeah it worked go team flash and Barry says people call me a dork as everyone stops they all begin to use their powers and everyone says yep still got him the kid flash looks around asking where'd godspeed go amina says that she saw him disappear in to the storm as it was done but as she says that Barry takes off running and Kid Flash asks where he's going before Kid Flash could follow Wally stops him and tells him hold on I know exactly where he's going a few seconds later Barry pushes himself through the crowd of evacuated people calling out for iris once iris hears her voice she runs up hugging him but in another place and another time a man is looking at a statue of Barry and iris kissing he says that the letter that he left was very touching glad the museum kept it in their archives he really believed he was going to die in that storm huh that was the only difference between him and Wally he knew that one day he would lose but he never knew me as hunter zolomon he was never mind flash but here in the 25th century I've studied the history of the flash all of them I know his profile better than anyone even eobard thawne and I could see the cracks in his legacy and how to turn those cracks in to the end of the flash family as I bring them to war and the garage of iris west her and Wallace listen to the radio as she finishes the last bit of repairs to Wallace's dirtbike the announcer on the radio reports that a tidal wave is coming towards the coast of bad aneasha but the residents are being saved by what looks like two flashes Irish Titans the last bolt asking Wallace if he could turn that off and as he does he says maybe he should go Irish stops him telling him no Barry and Wally handle this themselves Wallace then asks Iris how does she know her way around a bike she gets on it telling him that the only way to get around markovia was on these things when they broke down you really only had yourself to get them back up to speed iris starts the bike up stating that luckily working with things that go fast runs in the West family just then Barry and Wally run in and Barry says that he only lost a second on him on the way here Wally tells him it's because he always takes the scenic route Irish ruffles his hair telling him any trouble running on water and Barry says he tried to explain the science of the tidal wave but Wally wouldn't listen has everyone laughs Wally screams out in pain is another of his memories comes back Barry yells that they're taking him to STAR Labs right now he knows they don't want to but they need to get these visions under control Wally starts getting up telling them no something is coming a second later there's a flash of light in the voice of commander cold along with his renegades calls out to Iris he tells her by the order of the temple courts you're under arrest for the murder of eobard thawne Barry runs up to Cole telling him there has to be a misunderstanding we didn't and cold stops of telling him mr. Allen we know who you are and frankly we don't care we've been ordered by the temporal courts judge to bring miss West to the 25th century everyone begins to put on their costumes and Wally tells Barry you heard him right they know who you are and we also know a rogue when we see one barrier than asks where the name like that renegades how can we trust you and Cole tells them I was worried that you wouldn't remember our last encounter seems I was right Wally gets in front of iris telling him she's not going anywhere and Barry tells everyone okay okay calm down a second maybe we should hear them out if we talk things out we can but without a second thought Wally grabs iris and starts running stating this is not happening Barry calls out to Wally and cold and his team take off right behind him down the street iris shouts - Wally - stop right there and put her down she could take care of herself and they don't ever run from a fight just as they stopped whether warlock fires lightning down on the two of them and iris begins to run with heatstroke taking off after her Wallace jumps into the air punching heatstroke to stop him and Barry catches up telling cold that they don't need to fight they need Cole tells them it's too late golden Guardian your own golden Guardian smiles and holds up her yellow Lantern ring stating and the blackest day and the brightest night beware your fears made into light let those who try to stop what's right burn like my power Sinestro smite and as she finishes fear constructs of evil flashes start running out taking everyone down as Barry and the others trying to fight back more and more constructs appear and cold holds out his gun stating that he's already do this but however before he can pull the trigger iris flies out of the garage on Wallace's dirt bike running into Cole telling him no one ever takes aim at her family before she can get very far that Wally starts to have another vision and just as the renegades surround him cold gets backed up telling everyone stand down Wally West is having what we in the 25th century call a tip oral seizure it comes from time travel or changes in the timeline his memories are being splintered and they're causing damage to his nervous system iris asks if he can help him and Cole tells her yes but our orders are for you have you come with us and answer our questions your nephew will be cared for iris says that even with thawne's blood on her hands her family let the fear of that man hunt them no more she's not afraid of him let's go Barry yells out for then don't wait let me come as a witness I could explain her innocence to the courts they'll understand that it was self-defense Cole tells him that he really doesn't care who comes with as long as iris is with us and Wallace says if you're Cohen I'm going til I would run to the ends of the earth for her no one else is going I don't trust them maybe they're wrong maybe the visions are a warning Barry says look iris is right this needs to end if you don't want to go I understand Wally doesn't know I'm gonna follow I'll trust them for now cold sighs stating great happy family hooray next stop the Deportes has a loud goon and in a flash of light the group is suddenly in the de port so the 25th century except Wally West isn't with them Barry looks around asking where is Wally and cold looks at a scanner stating that he should be with us this is all wrong meanwhile over at the destroyed flash Museum wall-e appears and frantically looks around shouting asking where is everyone what is that a voice tells them this is your life your real life this is everything that was taken from you everyone you've ever known or loved forgotten but not lost Barry did nothing to find them and they're all trapped is out of the Speed Force just like you were you can still be the hero that they need but the only way to save your family is to destroy the Speed Force Wally Spencer on asking who's there and hunter zolomon steps out between the glass cases that are for Cheyenne die ray West stating my name is hunter zolomon but you can call me zoom and together we're gonna save your children Wally walks up to the cases displaying the costumes of his children and hunter asks you felt something was missing didn't you when you were trapped in the Speed Force Barry pulled you out but deep down you knew there was something else your family your friends your children I've never forgotten all I wanted to do is show you how to be a better flash and for you to recognize that potential to be the greatest hero that ever lived now the pathway has been revealed let me show you the way down the right path Wally clenches his fist swinging yelling like I would ever follow a person like you and as he hits hunter a flood of memories pour into his mind and he steps back stating you tried to kill Linda to teach me a lesson in tragedy you took my kids but I got them back did you do something to them again if you don't tell me where I raised yar I will drag you across space in time hunter pulls down his mask telling him just listen I'm not here to fight living in the future has given me some perspective on what I've done in the past Wally because to create a whirlwind knocking hunter away asking perspective you torment in my family and hunter slowly he begins to get back up with Wally watching asking you will have powers the hunter tells him that's what I've been trying to say I've changed after the cosmic treadmill exploded in the flash Museum my thoughts were all mixed up it corrupted my way of thinking but in the end I'm still your friend Wally together we can fix our mistakes you can continue to hate me and lock me up or we can be heroes again back with the others cold looks over as reading stating Wally did have a crazy amount of temporal energy but this isn't right someone grabbed him the timestream is a crime scene as Barry asks for help the Golden Doherty runs in yelling that they have a problem the judge is missing but they found evidence in his office and it's a little distressing suddenly a video is played back on the many screens that shows the fight between iris and eobard it shows iris killing eobard thawne in self-defense and cold ben says this may not have been about iris it's about bringing Wally here - and I know where he is Barry yells that if Wally is in danger we're going after him and Cole tells his team to lock everyone up until we can sort this out Barry begins running and punching everyone stating that when they first showed up he was holding back but he won't stand still while his family is in danger cold grabs his gun telling him that's enough Baird smacks it out of his hand telling him you're being manipulated if you have any idea where Wally is you're coming with me back at the flash Museum Hunter goes on telling him I warned you about going back in time and changing it when Barry went back to save his mother he created the flashpoint and he merely destroyed the world though Barry managed to put things back together there are things missing before I became zoom I was selfish I wanted to go back and fix my life but now this is bigger than going back in time there are people trapped in the Speed Force while he turns away telling him that he's just trying to trick him into cutting the connection that him and Barry have to the Speed Force and Hunter shouts asking your powers are more important than your children the temporal energies in your body will allow you to enter the Speed Force at the right speed and break it it'll be enough to save I'm ray and Shai being a hero that we all know you are just that Barry runs in with commander cold stating that they never needed a reverse flash to tell them how to be heroes cold points his gun at hunter telling him you're under arrest and as he fires Wally runs through yelling no idiot flex the shock trading a blast knockin Barry and cold away seconds later Wallis and iris show up and Wallis asks his that reverse flash and Wally tells him he used to call himself zoom he's from before bury him in a mess of things Barry asks him how could you defend someone in that costume and Wally says I know parts of my life have been taken away like my children I had twins Barry everyone because they look around and iris says that she remembers she used to babysit them welts are they but before iris can ask her question cold grabs his gun pointing at a hunter stating that everyone is coming with me the courts will sort this out hunter yells - Wally telling him you know that this is true big for them to understand you have to break the Speed Force Wally tells Barry that if runs fast enough he can re-enter the speedforce and he could save them and Barry asks are you really considering this you are trapped there Wally takes off running telling him I wasn't asking for your permission but before Barry could follow Cole checks his scanner saving that Wally just jumped into the timestream there's no point in running Barry tells cold if you want to redeem yourself then take care of Iris at Wallis until I catch up I know there's a cosmic treadmill in this museum cold begins pressing buttons on his wrist stating how about a shortcut I have Wally speed for signatures so you should be able to get right to him as Barry disappears hunter looks at cold and tells him Wally is finally on the right path to becoming the true flash and Cole tells him you're not going anywhere and hunter tells him you're here because I created the Renegades and Cole tells him maybe it's time to go broke then hunter grabs a shiny yellow hammer and slams it on the ground yelling I hate Roach and in a flash of light he disappears suddenly the alarms begin going off and iris asks what's that and cole says that it's a citywide siren it's a temporal event everyone because they head outside and cold goes on telling them whatever Hunter did he changed the timeline in a major way time is beginning to erase itself at the entire city around the three heroes begin to fade to white cold grabs iris and Wallace telling them don't worry it may be too late for this but everything is going to be ok and as he says this they faded the white meanwhile in another time Wally races towards central city thinking about the life that he had and then Barry charges into him setting the two of them flying down the road Barry gets up telling him hunter is lying and while he gets up the starts running telling him and what if he's not Barry turns to grab Wally telling him then we'll find another way and while he pushes Barry off of him telling him you should be helping me in this and if you won't I'll make sure that you never run again Barry steps back telling him I don't want that look yo Bart murdered my mother and took my life away every day has been about making sure that no one else has to go through what I did including you I will not allow you to make the same mistakes that I once did what is destroying the Speed Force has bigger consequences than losing our powers and Wally yells I don't care about the consequences and Barry then says if you run I will catch you and Wally asks do you remember what happened the first time that we raced to pause for a moment and as the to generate more power Wally takes off with Barry shouting you have to stop later Asbury catches up to Wally they tear through the world with Amanda Waller watching the two paths and she tells Steve Trevor you might want to call him your friends told them to clean up this mess before Task Force X is involved because either way the flashes must be stopped Wally shouts hunter was right my kids are trapped there isn't another second that I'm gonna stand around and do nothing soon the ground around Amanda Waller and Steve Trevor begins to rumble and Amanda asks are they coming around again and Steve tells her no you said to call my friends right Superman and the rest of the Justice League begin to touch down with Diana asking what is going on you said the flash was in danger and Amanda tells them no the flash is the danger it appears that there are two flashes and they're racing it just might bring the end of the world that we're supposed to be protecting cyborg taps into the network and says Waller selling the truth or once the energy that they're generating is playing havoc with every fabric of the multiverse Superman nails down telling them if there's even a slight chance they can hurt someone I'm gonna catch up and talk some sense into them in a flash Superman takes off following close behind calling out to Barry and Wally telling them you have to stop however to them they're running too fast and they're so involved in their own argument that Superman's words don't even reach them back with everyone there's a blue flash with Superman stopping taking a deep breath stating I couldn't catch them they're going too fast Hal Jordan reports in telling everyone hey don't worry if the blue couldn't get their attention maybe Green will boy that asks wouldn't going that speed killed him if they hit the wall and Hal says pink friends if Barry for this long means that I've been subjected to its flashbacks for years I'm using all of my will to vibrate this construct at a frequency that if they run through it it'll slow them down but not kill them but as Wally runs through he plows through the constructs destroying it forcing Barry to stop and save Hal Barry tells him I know you're trying to help but it's too dangerous for any of you to be here after setting him down how reports that they nearly broke his ring the energy to Darren giving off demolished his construct this is bad real bad guys Barry manages to catch up shouting what is wrong with you Hal is our friend and you nearly killed him he grabs Wally by the arm throwing him into a building but Wally lands feet-first and continues running telling them I do that you were gonna be there to save him Wally tells him if you trust me now's the time to show it Barry and Barry asks what do you want me to do then while he tells him we need to continue to into the speedforce smashing through the other side and Barry says we've both have gotten lost in the Speed Force before Wally and while he tells him that's because we were alone this time we could stay grounded we are each other's lightning rods Barry just then Wally begins to break through the Speed Force barrier with Barry yelling telling him I can't keep up something is wrong this pain Barry begins to fall back shouting wait but Wally calls out telling him you just have to believe I can save my children I have to there's a loud crack home and both Barry and Wally are thrown out of the Speed Force Barry gets up stating I still feel connected to the Speed Force but something's wrong and just then there's another loud boom with the Justice League landing and Diana's shouting what have you done Barry asks what is she talking about a knock you man tells him look into the sky as the to look up they see lightning storms covering everything in Barry says I think we just broke the Speed Force Wally then asks but what about irate and Jai hunter said but before he could finish Barry and Wally hear the sounds of cracks as somebody is going through hitting all of the heroes and a voice calls out to them the voice tells them you didn't free them you didn't break the Speed Force all you did was break the horse barrier unleash something else that was trapped long ago Barry shouts to Hunter as he's holding Batman's unconscious body a hunter tells him you always wanted to be like Barry and now you can be a selfish man who hurt the world while he asks what are you talking about and hunter says I needed you to break the force barrier so that I could gain access to what was still inside of the Speed Force Barry's just words shouting you lied and he begins to create a whirlwind blast but hunter holds up Batman's body letting him take the hit and being sent off across the city Hunter yells you did what a hero does yet took the risk and yes I do know where Wally's family really is but I saw the teachers that are coming into our world and what you needed to be a true hero like a fool I hoped it would have been Wally hunter holds up a ring telling them the part used to hang on to berries original flash ring hoping the same thing for him as the ring opens up a red costume comes out - hunter tells them no one understands tragedy like I do my name is hunter zolomon and I am in the flash I don't watch much more than just fastest man alive you think that you know everything about the Speed Force but that's just one of the forces out there and now you have freed them all Barry and Wally start rushing towards Hunter but Hunter holds out his hand in the to stop hunter tells them history most call these forces the sage force of the strength force hunter telepathically lifts Barry and Wally into the air and then punches them back down telling them I saw how these would eventually make your lives a living hell and I'm going to save you from that future and use these powers to kill both of you that was taken as hunter starts to take the two down Wally jumps to his feet and takes hunter away asking where are my kids where did you hide them and Hunter grabs Wally by the throat telling him no that's not on me you never understood but Barry Barry gets it Barry knows of tragedy makes a hero you practically live the same life on that man changed your lives forever and destiny turned to 80 heroes these events turned me into zoom but that was the path that I needed to run to join you as the new flash together both Barry and Wally yell that there's never going to be a time when he becomes the flash head hunter punches Barry and mentally stops Wally telling him I'm stronger and smarter you were always blind to the Speed Force and look where that got you we thought these heroes were equals when we should have been your masters they've never crossed your minds what other forces would be out there now with the flash family broken is time to fix the past present and future Thunder turns back any because don't run Wally helps Barry I'm telling him that they need to hurry and follow hunter before things get even worse meanwhile back with the others floating and Nothingness Wallace asks where are we are we dead and Cole tells him no I was able to get us away from the time wave before it could get us I just couldn't set coordinates this must be the know when iris asks what are they supposed to do and Cole tells a kid flash can one aspect into the time stream that way we can get back home Wallace says that he doesn't have a lightning rod like Barry or Wally and iris stops him telling him yeah you do you're a member of our family and you know exactly who to run to when you're worried you can do this now run dammit Wallace grabs ahold of Iris and colds arm shouting yes ma'am and he starts to run over with Hunter he punches through into the timestream and he looks back at he sees Barry and while 80 last telling them huh it looks like I've got some sidekicks that you try to grab ahold of Hunter but as hunter dodges you tell them this is so much bigger than you thanks see you breaking the fourth barrier I can cross the line into Hypertime here I can pick and choose the reality that I want to be the hero that you need all that's needed is the last force as the realities begin to bend around everyone Berry says that he must be talking about the still force the Justice League just recently encountered it it's a dark alternate current to the Speed Force Wally yells whatever it is we can't let hunter get a hold of it what's worse is I've been in Hypertime before and this doesn't look right Barry says it's got to be dying because of the source Willa breaking that's why we need but Wally stops is he's these images of I ray and Joyce dating that's my kids future Barry calls out to him but hunter hits I'm telling him Wally is starting to understand we can all get what we want hunter starts running through a reality where Wally has his family and just as he begins to stop and look Barry tells him we have to keep going the longer that we wait the further that hunter is going to get and we will find them again and while a starts running telling him you're right I know you're right and that's when there's a loud crack and as everyone stops Wally asks what is this and hunter says don't you recognize the 25th century you were just here but your face is erased it Wally shouts asking where are iris and Wallace and hunter attacks them telling them it doesn't matter all is lost and founded my will you could have had these powers if you want so weak but you're unworthy of even fighting for it hunter grabs Wally by the neck and as he grabs him Wally's eyes begin to glow as another memory comes in and he shouts we used to be friends as Wally remembers hunter is knocked away by the temporal energy and asks what did you do I need to get back into hyper time Barry and Wally take off after him and Barry asks did you see that your temporal seizure hurt hunter that could be the key to winning this whole thing while he asks him how and Barry tells him whenever you think about something from your past you have I burst of temporal energy and that clashes with the Speed Force connection now that hunter is connected to the Speed Force in plural energy should hurt him it might be possible to use that energy to expel him for Hypertime while he asks what happens if he uses the deplore energy and he forgets his family again and Barry shouts you won't you just have to embrace them the past and legacy are important and you can learn from them to help you move forward your connection to the people that you love whether here or not is your greatest gift Walli then asks how we get a catch up to hunter and berry asks remember when you asked me about the first time that we raced of course I remembered I was so lost in the signs of the speedforce that I missed out on just having fun and cutting loose wally west always enjoyed speed and right now you need to remember that wally west is the fastest man alive wally being is to focus on his running and slowly begins to inch closer and closer to hunter and that he tells hunter this race is over hunter asks him do you really think you can keep up with me and he swings except this arm goes through Wally Wally lasts asking haha as you like that I want intangible from vibrating so much as something my daughter taught me you've helped me remember everyone in my life and the people who made me so for that thank you for reminding me that I don't run through the Speed Force alone while he starts to concentrate he lets out the temporal energy that he's been storing up with the memories of his family and unleashes an on to hunter zolomon and as he does there's a loud crack a Cove and Barry finds himself back at Central City it looks around asking where Wally and hunter are and that's when there's a loud crack I got boom and Wallace comes running out holding iris and cold he gets out telling them that he didn't think he could go that fast and Barry tells him that was amazing you found your way back and Wallace stops him stating that he found his way back because he let his anger guide him as Wallace pushes Barry back Barry asks him what and Wallace tells him it's because we're supposed to be a family and when we were in the future you left me iris pulls Wallace away stating it's okay and Wallace tells her no it's not we can't keep doing this cold checks his scanner and he asks Barry what the hell did you do in there the force barriers a mess the fact that I'm alive means the future must have been fixed hopefully what's worse there's no temporal energy which means all speedsters are done forever all access to Hypertime is shut down and I'm stuck here iris asks what about Wally and cold looks of the scanner stating well I'm not sure if it's him or not but someone is connected to the Speed Force in this time period over at Mount Hood in Oregon while he starts to pick himself up in the snow and Barry says let me help all he asks where is and Barry tells him there at home or at least in the correct time period Wally says no hunter and Barry tells me he's not sure Wally pushes Barry off stating that they escaped that means that hunter - they need to find him and Barry runs and telling him stop can't we just talk for a second while he tells him I've been angry you for so long and that's because you mean everything to me it wasn't Linda or the kids who grounded me it was Barry Allen you pulled me out of the Speed Force and I may be faster but I could never outrun you Hunter was right I wanted him to be so badly and I ended up making the same selfish mistakes as you it was wrong of me to ask you to run with me after everything you are did to you so right now I need to go back to the future and find hunter Barry stops him you can't when you released your temporal energy you cut off time travel while he steps back asking then hunter won Barry then says we may have lost but right now we need to stop running walleye asks what like you did after your mother's death he says still four years you might have made your own mistakes but I refused to make yours again we're not the same and I'll never stop running Barry as Wally leaves Barry stands there thinking about the things that have changed he is not the fastest man alive anymore after briefing the league on everything that had happened to everyone went their separate ways with Wallace following Damian Wayne and iris going out to find Wally but even with the forest barrier being shattered if there's one thing that he can learn from loss if that he will always find hope meanwhile elsewhere a young speedster comes through the street stating not sure have you heard me Wally but if not who cares the force barrier is down to the one and only Bart Allen is back back in the 25th century the Renegades hurry over to iron Heights penitentiary and golden Guardian says the reading show that there have been some massive changes whether warlock asks what are they supposed to do they are all that's left of the Renegades golden Guardian shouts that they will deal with that later iron Heights is the greatest prison in the multiverse the Oh Bart built it after he caught its only inmate if he ever escaped but as the Renegades turned the corner a bolt of lightning strikes them fading them from existence and a voice says finally the flashes will pay for what they've done the metal doors fall over revealing the name of the inmate crisis and crisis says worlds will live worlds will die the multiverse will never be the same and that is the three hour video for the entire one through fifty issues of the flash I hope you
