This is nice. Team Flash, back together again. With a new guy. Ralph Dibny. Welcome. You should be dead.
Yeah, I guess we have that in common.

[Nora is about to be erased]
So close, Little Runner. It was never going to work anyway.
XXS
Mom? Dad?
No, no, no, no.
XXS
Mom, what's happening?
EEboard
A new timeline is setting in.
What?
A new timeline that you created when you destroyed the dagger! I'm sorry, Little Runner, for trading you in like this. But I had to be sure that I could go free. You can still save her, Barry. There's still time. You can still save her.
How?
The Negative Speed Force. She has to go there. It's the only place immune to timeline changes. But you have to go now. You have to go, Barry! Or we lose her forever. That's right. I've grown fond of her too. In many ways. She's shown me what it's like to have a daughter. See you in our next crisis.
She (Nora) was my legacy all along. And us, together as a family, that's how I want to be remembered. As a good man. A loving husband. And a supportive father.
You're already all those things.
[Nora's final message to Barry and Iris]
Hi, Mom and Dad. If you're watching this, it means that something went wrong. But I don't want you guys to be sad. I'm not. I always wanted to be a hero. To use my extraordinary abilities to help people. That's why I came here. To meet my family, stop Cicada, help fix the Flash's legacy, and save him from disappearing in the future. I believed I could do the impossible. But I never imagined it would turn out like this. I'm glad it did. I wouldn't change anything about my time with you. My sweet parents. The most important people to me in the world. I wish I could be there to celebrate every new chapter. To witness every success. Just know, that no matter where I go in my life, you'll always be by my side. Because of you, I know I will never, ever truly be alone. And I will feel your love and support like a warm hug, comforting me, pushing me to be the best person I can be. Thank you for everything. For making me a hero. And for loving me even if I wasn't perfect. Please remember that I love you both. And I always will. No matter what the future brings.
My name is Ramsey Rosso, and my mother, Dr. Rachel Rosso, was everything to me. When I was seven, I skidded out pretty badly on a bike she bought me for my birthday. Imagine a scared kid with two scraped knees and a bloody nose. When mum found me, she picked me right up, she brushed me off, and told me to get back on my bike and ride. I tried, but I couldn't. It was almost like I was paralyzed, it hurt so bad. That's when she told me that I would heal. That I must never let a little pain stop me from getting to where I needed to go in life, and she was right. I did heal. Enough to grow up and follow in her footsteps. And even though a beautiful life was cut short when she lost her battle to heal herself, she is still helping me to get to where I need to go today. And for that, I will always be grateful.
You're looking at the world's first inverse mass angular momentum disruptor, but we can just call it a stellar grenade.
Cool. So this will destroy the black hole?
As long as it doesn't get much bigger, this will reverse the hole's mass-collecting properties, causing it to... [sucks air] Implode. Just toss it into the event horizon, hasta la lasagna, don't any on you.
That's it. [hits the computer space bar] I've been saving this for the right moment since day one.
[ Queen's "Flash" begins playing.]
Really, Cisco?
The guy's running in and out of a black hole!
[a beat] .... Good point.
Yeah.
So, what made you believe that you could carry Chester out of that place?
You made me believe I could do it. I realized we could be each other's support group, even though it's gonna take some time. If we can carry a memory like this together in our hearts, carrying carrying somebody's consciousness out of a black hole? It's a piece of cake. Besides, how else could I get this back for you? [he opens the door to the Time Vault, revealing Nora's XS jacket] I know it's not as good as Nora's video...
It's better. Now we have something that we can honor Nora with.
She was pretty schway.
What do you want?
MMonitor
For your universe to survive.
The plinth...you destroyed it. You destroyed Nora's message.
MMonitor
An unfortunate side effect. But I needed to discourage you.
From doing what?
MMonitor
Hoping. Your determination is boundless, Flash. It is one of your greatest qualities, but you cannot avoid the coming crisis.
Barry has five years before he disappears.
MMonitor
No longer. December 10, 2019. On that day, he will answer the call and make the ultimate sacrifice. Soon, this world will fight for the fate of all the known universes.
I'm not gonna leave my family. There has to be a way to stop what's coming.
MMonitor
I am sorry. But events have been set into motion that you cannot possibly comprehend.
I don't need to understand them! Just tell me what I can do.
MMonitor
To survive? You can't. In order for billions to survive this coming crisis, the Flash must die.
I stared at that newspaper for so many years. First it felt like a guide. You know, like proof that things were headed in the right direction. Then it became a sword hanging over my head. A part of me always felt like... if I vanish in whatever crisis is coming... maybe I was still out there somewhere, looking for a way to come back to you. According to The Monitor, that doesn't happen.
"To save the lives of billions, The Flash must die." What kind of crap is that? [Barry chuckles] No, I'm serious. I mean, The Monitor shows here up out of nowhere and says you're suppose to die on December 10th? The last I remember, the article said that you were in a fight with Thawne, not some cosmic disaster.
The article changed.
If that article can change, then that means we can still change the future.
Art reflects how we feel, so connecting to art can help us plumb the depths of our soul.
Okay. What I am connecting to in these photos... is that the photgrapher's afraid to get a shot in focus.
Those are actually... mine.
They're not all winners.

[reading]
Oh why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like a fast-flitting meteor, a fast-flying cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
He passes from life to his rest in the grave.
[sees Barry has recovered] Barry. You're with us. William Knox. I've discovered that poetry can stimulate collapsed neural pathways.
[smiles weakly] Lady Gaga usually works for me.
You know this kid. You know her rap sheet. It's petty crimes, robberies. It's not double homicide. That doesn't even add up.
I haven't known this woman in a long time, and the evidence adds up. We need to recognize that, unlike facts, feelings can be falliable.
Except when it's your gut.
I've never said that.
You didn't have to. That is a scared kid, with no one to stand up for her. The public defender's office is overworked and underpaid. Joe, I'm the only one who can prove her innocence.
Your job is to prosecute the cases that we bring to you, using the evidence. I mean, it's like you... it's like you don't even wanna be the D.A.
Are you telling me I have to choose between using my powers and doing my job?
That is not what I just said.
No. It's what you're feeling.
How did you get hurt, Barr? All right, look... you don't have to share right now if you want to. Just know that I'm here. Always.
Something's coming, Joe. I have to make a sacrifice. But at the same time, I can't help but feeling like it means I'm giving up.
Giving up?
Yeah.
When I was a beat cop, you know, I walked the same patrol every day. One morning, I'm responding to a noise complaint. Out of nowhere, pop. Bullet flies by my head. I got pinned, I called for backup, but everything was telling me that's it. Next morning... Barr, I can't even tell you how... scared I was... to go back there in them streets.
But you did.
Yeah. [shows his police badge] 'Cause of this. Our badges, your emblem, they're symbols of the strength that we're charged with to get back out there. We don't make a choice to die. We would never choose to do that. But when we hear the call of duty... We're willing to make that sacrifice. And that's not giving up, Barr. That's what you call resilience. And I know you to have plenty of that.
Cait? You're Killer Frost?
Actually, she's me, Sad Coffee Guy.
