The rain-slicked pavement of Central City reflected the neon glow as a blur of red stopped abruptly before a modest apartment complex. It was a stark contrast to the gleaming towers of the past. Wally West stood there, breathless, his heart pounding against his ribs. He adjusted his cowl, eyes scanning the door. Ten years had vanished in a blink of the Speed Force, leaving him stranded in an unfamiliar future. He knocked, the sound echoing in the quiet hallway. The door creaked open, revealing a face aged by time yet familiar. Wally lowered his mask, revealing his bright orange hair and hopeful green eyes, searching for recognition in the silence.
