The Once and Future Flash


 * 2024 Barry: Why are you here?
 * Barry: I need your help.
 * [2024 Barry steps closer and looks at Barry.]
 * 2024 Barry: You're from before she dies, aren't you?... You can't save her. [starts walking away]
 * Barry: Yes, I can. And I'm going to.
 * 2024 Barry: No, you can't. Go home.
 * Barry: Just tell me who's in the suit. [Future Barry stops] Right, that's all I need. You tell me that, we'll be able to tack him down. We'll learn his weakness... we'll stop him before he even tries. Just tell me who Savitar is.
 * 2024 Barry: I can't.
 * Barry: Wh... Why?
 * 2024 Barry: [turns to Barry] Because I don't know the answer. Sorry you ran all this way for nothing. Want some advice? Go home. Spend as much time with Iris as you can, because pretty soon... you'll never see her again. [walks off]


 * Barry: Caitlin? It's me.
 * Future Killer Frost: Barry Allen.
 * Barry: I'm--
 * Future Killer Frost: -- from the past. I can tell. There's no hate from your eyes. Yet.


 * Barry: You promised. You promised her that you would be there for Joe.
 * 2024 Barry: You don't understand.
 * Barry: "I don't understand." What, that you abandoned them? That you abandoned him and everybody else?! You made a promise--
 * 2024 Barry: That I couldn't keep!! Not after everything I'd lost. I was just as broken as Joe was!
 * Barry: I don't care.
 * 2024 Barry: [shoves Barry] You WILL!!... You will. You want answers, Barry? How's this? You will go back. You will do everything that you can think of to save her. You're even gonna create time remnants of yourself, but he's gonna kill them all mostly. And then on the night of May 23rd... Iris West will die in your arms.
 * Barry: No.
 * 2024 Barry: And in that moment when she takes her last breath, it'll feel like an eternity. And it will break you. She's the love of your life, Barry. She was the love of my life. [sinks into a corner] There'll be nothing left but stopping Savitar. So no, you won't be there for Joe. You won't be there when Caitlin becomes Killer Frost. And Savitar destroys Wally. You won't be there for any of 'em. But then one day, you'll stop him. You'll lock him in the Speed Force forever. But at that point... he already won. Because everything that you've ever loved is gone. Including you. Go home, Barry. There's nothing for you here.


 * TV news anchor: In a bizarre twist, in the first sighting in years, eyewitnesses claim not one, but two Scarlet Speedsters were responsible for apprehending Sam Scudder and Rosalind Dillon, aka Mirror Master and Top. I'm sure I speak for all residents of Central City when I say this: Flash, if you're watching, it's good to see you again.


 * Savitar: I've been waiting for you. Fear not, my child. I've come only to offer you what you desire.
 * Killer Frost: And what's that?
 * Savitar: Salvation.
 * Killer Frost: You want to cure me? Turn me back into Caitlin Snow?
 * Savitar: No. I want to make sure Caitlin never returns.
 * Killer Frost: Why should I trust you? [Savitar's suit powers down and someone climbs out. Killer Frost recognises him] What do you need me to do?
