Linda's article: "I've interviewed the Flash more than anyone alive. Believe it or not, under all the crackle and crazy, he's a modest man. We know him as that joyful blur, don't we? A lonely long shot, a magic bullet, saving lives with a smile and never sticking around to receive thanks. But when you look close? He almost never works alone. Others gravitate to him, and he to them. Other icons, other teams, other experts. It's a rare hero who knows when he's not the best man for the job."

Wally: "But we helped him! We fixed him! How can he be evil after that?" Wade: "Both things can be true."

I adore both Irey and Jai getting these moments, and that they can have these moments separately #FlashSpoilers

Wally reaches out to Eclipso about living in someone's shadow, as a former sidekick, and Jai admits that he also has those feelings as Wally's son. But he does know how proud Wally is of him, which is what Eclipso doesn't have

Wally tries to shoo Irey away from the battlefield, and she snaps at him for how scared she is and how she doesn't want him to die alone up here.

It's still like that, Wally. You're just at level 20 now. #FlashSpoilers

Wally: "Yyyyeah. I'm starting to see why you don't want to be a superhero, Jai. I swear it used to be just... bank robberies and punching muggers."

God I love comics #FlashSpoilers

Wally: "Okay. Let's... let's just think this through a second... we're buried in a dimension of pure darkness." Jai: "Yeah." Wally: "Which is actually the (what?) the spirit-scape of an elemental evil." Jai: "Eclipso." Wally: "Whooo recently devoured an even greater force of existential energy--" Jai: "-- which was pretending to be our dog--" Wally: "--right, right -- Naturally -- Except he can't access its colossal power yet because... uh..." Jai: "... Because our dog's super nice and won't let him." Wally: "Yeah. Except now it turns out, beneath all that wrath and hate, Eclipso's actually... kinda..." Jai: "A sad little kid with insecurity issues. Yep."

Sometimes things are clearer through the eyes of a tween. A tween with reality powers. #FlashSpoilers

Jai: "Here's what I don't understand. Eclipso's a-- a cosmic force of vengeful darkness, right? Why the hell would you believe him about anything? He played you."

Shade, holding a severed Wally head: "You're not really talking to me, are you? This is all in my head." Wally head: "Does it matter? You still need to hear what I have to say."

Baby Wally! #FlashSpoilers

Shade reminisces about Wally's Kid Flash days, when Shade would ham up the part of the villain and Barry would take him seriously but Wally got the joke.

Wally: "Look, way I see it? Part of being a parent's knowing when to stop pretending you're this... perfect being with all the answers. Some things? My kids are just better at 'em than I am. Maybe everything. So yeah, Jai. I'm asking. But... the most important part is--"

Wally: "You can say no. And I will still love you more than words can say." Jai: "I want to help." Wally and Jai hug.

Wade: "What people forget about time travel is-- okay, sure, there's a ton of math and a bunch of German names, but... bottom line? It's all relative to the perspective of the traveler, right? You visit the past. Adventures, forbidden romance, et cetera. But when you slide back? The present's different-- right? But it's only different for you. For the folks there, it's always been that way. No photos fading out. No hokey memories dissolving." Wally: "So... you can never go back to where you started?"

Wade: "Ha. Actually... that's the one and only place you can always go back to, dad. There's no right or wrong timelines. There's just versions of my story. Or yours. Whoever's. And they never have the same ending twice. I find that oddly comforting. But the Bureau? It's here in every branch. Oh, different aesthetics, different leaders. (Rip Hunter, Grodd, Cosmic Swamp Thing, Lobo's left index finger...). But something like it? Always."
