Speed Force Nora Allen quotes from The Flash

Speed Force Nora Allen

[reading "The Runaway Dinosaur"]

Iris

Barry, Wally and Jay said they were in Hell.

Joe

Barry, it's your mother.

Barry

That's the Speed Force.

Speed Force Nora Allen

Barry isn't going to Hell. But like all runners must eventually, he's reached his finish line. His race is over.

Iris

You can't take him with you.

Barry

She's not taking me anywhere. I have to go.

Iris

Why? Why are you being punished?

Barry

This, all of this, it started with my mistake. With Flashpoint. This is my penance. This is my redemption.

Speed Force Nora Allen

My beautiful boy. It's time to rest.

Speed Force

It's okay, Barry. I'm here. I'm sorry it took me so long to find you. Ramsey's infection is stronger than anything we've ever faced, and it's only getting stronger.

Barry

I think I know why.

Speed Force

You feel doubt.

Barry

I do.

Speed Force

You've answered our call before. It's always been difficult. What's changed?

Barry

I've led more. I've gotten married, seen a future where I'll have a daughter who's the best of me and Iris combined. Most of my life has been driven by my past, but... but now, I... It finally feels like I'm living for myself. I don't wanna leave my family and my friends. I don't want to die. I know that's selfish. I'm sorry I let you down.

Speed Force

Barry. No person is immune to fear and doubt... No matter how brave... that's what makes you human, Barry. But the courage to move forward, even in the face of overwhelming odds, that's what makes you a hero. That's what makes you the Flash.

Barry

Thank you. I needed to hear that.

Speed Force

Please understand. The role you play is vital to all things.

Barry

Oh, stop.

Speed Force

There are universal forces at stake. They must be protected.

Barry

What about the rest of us?

Ramsey

She's right. There are universal forces at stake. It's just a pity she doesn't consider your life among them.

Speed Force

Don't listen to him. He wants to possess your form no matter the cost.

Barry

Cost? All those headstones? Those people are dead because of my connection to you. How many times do I have to suffer for you? When is it your turn to suffer? Do you even feel pain?

Speed Force

No, at least not as you know it.

Ramsey

How could it? The Speed Force isn't human. It doesn't even know what it means to be alive, to have a family to love. It only pretends.

Speed Force

Ramsey's infection is twisting your heart. You have to fight it. Barry. These aren't your true feelings.

Barry

What do you know about the truth? This isn't what you look like. This isn't my old bedroom. It's a trick. This is you manipulating me so I'll do what you want.

Speed Force

That's not true. I care about you.

Ramsey

All it cares about is using you.

Speed Force

Barry, you must listen to me.

Barry

No, I don't! You're not my mom. You're the reason I buried her.
