Flash#3(2023)

Two intersecting rifts in reality have formed in Keystone City near a statue of Barry Allen in a park, looking like the statue has wings. Wally and Mister Terrific have come to investigate, along with a team of Terrifictech scientists who violently argue about what the phenomenon is. Wally is willing to simply chalk it up to "spooky Speed Force stuff", but Holt is convinced there is a rational, scientific explanation. Holt also tells Wally that the people Grodd and his army kidnapped are being held in stasis at a fixed point on Earth's orbit around the sun, meaning that they will catch up to them in a year. Max Mercury shows up to help Wally with his phasing out of reality. He syncs his Speed Force aura with Wally's and Wally shifts them into a reality he calls the "Blobsphere". However, they see the rifts and the statue nearby and realise they have not actually left Earth 0, they are just somehow looking at it from another angle. Suddenly they hear a shriek of pain and are hit by a shockwave. They see something in the distance violently destroying the world around it and heading straight for them. They quickly shift back into normal reality and the moving destruction resolves into Impulse, who has run onto the scene. Wally remembers the warning that The Stillness gave him and worry that the speedsters may be somehow damaging reality with their powers, and Max shares that he also received what he believed was a cry for help from the Speed Force. Wally and Max decide to investigate further and once again shift to another plane. They enter a plane of the "lingering dead", filled with what appear to be zombies. Wally believes they are "psychic echoes" but Max is convinced they have accessed a spirit realm and momentarily panics. They are attacked by one of Grodd's Askari, but Max stops Wally from fighting it and points out that great rents have been torn out of it. They hear a mysterious voice mocking the gorilla and it is suddenly crushed liked crumpled paper. The same thing happens to them and they fall through multiple realms, while the voice mocks Wally, addressing him by name and mentioning how he has failed to be there for his family. They eventually stop falling and see a shadowy figure, the source of the voice, in front of them. Wally rushes at him, but when he gets close he and Max shatter into shards and fall to another realm, this one full of giant spider-like creatures. They are met by a group of alien creatures and Ugh, the Caveman Flash. The aliens tell him they are all speedsters who got trapped in this realm and that he needs to leave while he still can. They also tell him to find "Inspector Pilgrim". Three Uncoiled appear and chase after them, but they discover that they can no longer reach the Speed Force and don't have enough saved energy to escape the realm. Max transfers his last energy to Wally, sending him hurtling out of the realm into a white void. In the void he meets the shadowed figure again, and recognises him as Edwin Gauss, the Folded Man. Wally ignored Gauss when he tries to make fun of him again and walks away. He then finds himself in a beautiful garden filled with statues of people from his life, and hears his own voice tell him it is the "Gallery of Moments". He forgets what he was doing and sits down on a fountain, enjoying the peace. Suddenly, Wally is poked with something and emerges back into normal reality, apparently as a result of Impulse poking the rifts with a stick. Impulse asks where Max is and Wally can't look him in the eye.
