an endless well of electricity and resplendent light. past, present, and future all around them. ruptured time at their heels. it all blends together, a soothing vortex, grief dulled and turned into something warmer. YOU BECOME THE STATIC , YOU BECOME THE COLOR. WHAT IS YOUR NAME, WHO DID YOU LOVE? floating, at peace, red bow ties and the lingering scent of crime scenes forgotten [ . . . ] they were both pulled from this ethereal plane, pulled from the speed force. barry first, kid flash only recently. the guilt still nests in his throat some mornings, when the sun is beginning to rise and the world remains fast asleep. he will be there for wally until their days of running are over, until they join the earth once more, smiles on their faces after a lifetime of saving those who never had a helping hand: what a ride. "i missed you too, wally." he pulls his brave protégé into an embrace.
does he feel like you did when you emerged? out of place, wrong in the heart?
