The Flash · Season 1
Oh, I knew there was another me here.
And I knew you were coming, Cisco. Even before you went to the breach and set foot on this world. See, we are all connected... Francisco.
The name is Vibe.
Reverb.
Actually not the worst name you could've come up with, but not the best.
I know you're here, Harrison Wells. You did not come alone. You can try to hide, but I'm the fastest man alive. I will scour this city until I hunt you down. And when I do, all of you will feel my wrath.
You really don't know how to use your abilities, do you, Breacher?
It's a work in progress, Elsa.
Are you serious? You want us to, what, just... climb to the top of those cliffs? On ice? [chuckles nervously]
You got any better ideas?
No. Ma'am. I'm just, you know... I, I've got... you know, I'm wearing wing tips here. Don't have much tread.
[to Earth-1 Barry] Do you know what we did to get here, Barry? We convinced her, Killer Frost, to show us the way. Then we climbed some insanely steep cliffs outside, on footholds made of ice. Ice! And all of us risked our lives, knowing Zoom was after us, to rescue Jesse and you. No. I don't know you, and you don't know me. But, I can tell you that today I... I did things that I never thought possible. Because I needed to prove to my wife, and to myself, that I could. And if I can do the impossible today, so can you. I'm just Barry Allen. But you're the Flash.
[to Earth-2 Barry] You may not have been struck by lightning over here like I was, but today you risked your life to save somebody you didn't even know. That's a hero, Barry.
So that's what we did. We didn't talk about Earth-2. We kept what happened there between the three of us and got on with our lives knowing there was nothing we could do now to stop Zoom. Instead, we tried to just adjust to our new circumstances and cope with our losses. Jay's death took its toll, left scars on all of us. Some more than others. And so to try and keep my mind off thoughts of this surreal other life I'd experienced that wasn't my own, I kept running, waiting for some other meta-human threat to rear its ugly head and distract me from the frustration I was feeling. And as fate would have it, I did not have to wait long.
We're going to need a bigger Flash.
You're starting to do that thing Oliver does, Barry, carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Gotta stop that, man. it'll slow you down.
I don't suppose my home owner's insurance covers a Sharknado attack.
I don't understand you people. Jaws busts through here like the Kool-Aid Man, The Flash shows up, and y'all act like it's no big deal.
Yeah, we've had a lot of weird things happen in Central City over the past two years.
Weirder than a talking shark wearing pants?
Look, Barry, when I was in Afghanistan, I lost a lot of friends. Brothers. So losing Jay, I know what that feels like. You question yourself. Blame yourself for his death. And that guilt, it can tear you apart. Trust me, man, you got to get control of it. Or it'll rip you up inside. Use this, man. Let it guide you. So it never happens again.
Fine. But if you're gonna go, you should take protection.
[stammering] Oh. uh... Dad, I don't need... I don't know what you thought I was going to be doing, but I....
[Wells puts his metahuman detection watch on Jesse's wrist.]
Oh. Right. I mean, is it necessary? It's kinda, you know...
Or I could always build you an inescapable daughter cube.
Funny. You know I'd get out, though, right?
"Bad Flash"? What? No. I'm losing my touch already.
A lady speedster. It only took us two years, but we finally got one. A lady speedster. Hey, here's a question for you. Purely scientific. Was she good looking?
Yeah, I was a little busy getting my ass handed to me, so I didn't really notice.
Right, right, right. But you know, next time. For science.
Okay, yeah. Next time she punches me in the face, I'll be sure to get her number.
There you go.
If the game is already rigged, why can't I level the playing field? I mean, if everybody else is cheating, how can... I want to be fast enough to stop Zoom and any speedster that tries to hurt my friends. Shouldn't I use everything in my power to do that?
You want to take a shortcut? Is that right, you want to take a shortcut? Remember this: you'll lose a chunk of your humanity every time you compromise your values.
[scoffs] I'm sorry, that's really good coming from you.
So don't be like me. Be better. [turns and walks off] Be like Jay
