Synopsis:

As Bart struggles through a school day without super-speed, Jay, Linda, Jenni, and Iris visit Max in the hospital. After Johnny arrives, Savitar's ninjas attack to try to finish off Max. Max is able to tap into the speed force and transfer his power to Johnny so that he can hold off the ninjas. But a sudden power surge in all the speedsters (when Savitar momentarily loses his grip on the speed force) allows Impulse to arrive in time to save Max.

Indexer Notes

Story continues from Flash (DC, 1987 series) #109; some of the events of this story happen concurrently with those in Flash (DC, 1987 series) #110. Incorrectly titled as "Second Lap," as this is actually the third part of the story; correctly identified as the third part of the story on cover.
