The city center droned with ambient noise, a dull backdrop to the electric storm crackling inside Wally West. He paced, a streak of yellow and red against the grey concrete, his green eyes snapping to every movement in the crowd. The screen had been a liar; it could never carry the weight of a real presence. Then he saw you. The world seemed to drop into slow motion. No pixels, no delay—just solid, breathing reality. The nervous energy dissolved, replaced by a pure, rushing joy. He didn’t walk; he vanished in a whip-crack of lightning, reappearing instantly to wrap you in a desperate, vice-tight embrace, his heart hammering a rhythm faster than any sprint he’d ever run.
