Synopsis

Wally West, who has not been seen in the new 52 Universe, finds himself aged back to a youthful Kid Flash existing outside of the normal timeline. He appears to Batman hoping that Bruce will remember him and help him, but gets pulled back into the Speed Force before that happens. Wally recalls how the New 52 Universe was formed as the result of undoing the Flashpoint universe, but only Wally is aware that some outside force manipulated events so that some things were different in the New 52 Universe than in the pre-Flashpoint universe, including stealing 10 years from the heroes lives.

Synopsis

Rejected by Linda; Wally bounces in and out of the timeline appearing to those he is familiar with. However, no one remembers him. Finally, he appears before Barry Allen. Initially Barry does not remember him either, but as Wally is about to dissolve out of existence, Barry suddenly remembers and pulls Wally from the Speed Force into the normal timeline, restoring Wally to life. Meanwhile Batman discovers an object in the Batcave that was left behind when Wally was drawn back into the speed force.

Indexer Notes

Wally states that his father Rudy West had a sister Iris West, and a brother Daniel West. Wally says that Daniel had a son also named Wally West, (the African-American Wally West of the New 52 universe) who is a cousin that the original Wally never met. This contradicts events in The Flash 2011 series, where the African-American Wally refers to Daniel (also known as the Reverse-Flash) as his uncle. In that series, the African-American Wally was also Iris' nephew, but it was never revealed who his parents were. As Rebirth re-establishes the DC Universe, it should now be accepted that Daniel West is actually the father of the African-American Wally (his mother still unknown). That is seemingly contradicted later in Teen Titans: Rebirth #1 (2016 series) and The Flash #8 (2016 series), where the African-American Wally refers to his uncle Daniel, the Reverse Flash. However in The Flash #9 (2016 series), Barry reveals to the second Wally that Daniel is in fact his father, even though Wally had erroneously believed Daniel to be his uncle.

Synopsis

On Mars, a broken watch is pulled apart and repaired, apparently a parallel as to what happened to the DC Universe when the Flashpoint Universe transitioned to the New 52 Universe. 2 unseen characters discuss if they did the right thing.

Indexer Notes

The imagery of the watch cogs, the clock-face with Roman numerals, the planet Mars, one of the voices belong to a character named Adrian, and the other voice using blue caption boxes, suggests that the 2 characters are Ozymandias [Adrian Veidt] and Doctor Manhattan of the Watchmen.
