One year after saving Eddie and ending Thawne, Barry Allen finally has peace. Retired from heroics, he devotes himself to Iris and their baby daughter, proud to let a new generation of heroes safeguard Central City. Yet the joy is tinged with unease—Wally West’s vanishing in the Crisis, just three months earlier, still weighs on him. Barry clings to the hope that somehow, someday, he’ll see his brother-in-law again. That hope shatters when the Speed Force trembles. From its depths rises Eobard Thawne—reborn as the Black Flash, his speed restored at the cost of his humanity. Hungry for one last victory, Thawne strikes at Barry’s heart, murdering Iris before his eyes. Grief threatens to consume him, but Barry knows the fight isn’t his alone. Cisco Ramon, returning as Vibe, answers the call, and together with Cobalt Blue Prime, they form a desperate alliance. Without Team Flash’s safety net, their battle is brutal, spanning timelines and bleeding through the Speed Force itself. Thawne pushes Barry to the brink, forcing him to confront both his rage and his responsibility. At last, Barry ends the rivalry, destroying Thawne forever. But victory comes at a price. With Iris gone, Barry must raise his daughter alone, carrying the unbearable weight of grief. Cisco, before leaving, hands him a card—just a star and an address. “Someone’s been looking for you,” he says. Barry stares at it, the future once again uncertain.
