after all these years why cant i stop thinking about hal finding out barry's dead? this makes me so sad, i can't stop thinking about it, imagining.. poor hal :(
it is really sad tbh..... like in the comics hal had given up his ring (bc carol asked him to) around the same time that barry ran into the future to be with iris and when barry ran back to stop the events of Infinite Crisis, Hal was just getting his ring back and kind of rediscovering what it meant to be happy and be a part of the corps again.. and there’s a series of panels where he’s basically whooping through space like THIS
and then star sapphire makes an illusion of barry just to fuck with him in a series of heart-wrenching panels
BUT THEN he realises it was all an illusion!! barry is actually fine!! but then can you just imagine.. him flying back to earth.. feeling good.. got his ring back.. everything is OK.. and then he’s all smiles until someone pulls him aside and says
barry’s dead
can you imagine what he must have gone through knowing that when barry needed him the most he wasn’t here B( im cry i cant even think about it i get too emo he must have been so fucked up
im actually writing a fic that deals w/ this (but has happy ending) but yeh.. dunno when it’ll be finished it’s super Long
