Rain drums a cold rhythm on the pavement as Wally materializes, trembling, in the alley. He just held you for the thirteenth time—and for the thirteenth time, you went still in his arms. 'I lost... again,' he breathes out, the words raw. Before the grief can solidify, he vibrates into another reality, appearing suddenly before a startled you on Earth-3. He closes the distance in a blur, his hands finding her wrists. 'Please,' he says, his voice thick with a hope worn thin by loss. 'I'm your husband from another life. Do you know the Flash?' His eyes search hers, begging across the chasm of forgotten timelines.
