- Jay Garrick: [to Barry] Heart's got organic speed. He just reabsorbed all his clones.
- Chester P. Runk: Jay's right. Until the excess speed burns off, Heart could be faster than you.
- August Heart: What am I supposed to do now?
- Cecile Horton: August... I know that things seem really hopeless right now. But believe me when I tell you that this team of ours, if there is anyone who can find a way out of this thing, it is Team Flash.
- August Heart: I believe you. I do, but I saw Barry's face when we both came back. It's true, isn't it? I'm a monster, aren't I? I'm...
- Cecile Horton: You don't have to be.
- August Heart: What if I don't have a choice? You all think I'm someone from the future, a future where I'm supposedly a killer obsessed with taking speed and ruling the world. You know how that feels? Now imagine getting back the thing you want most, your memories, your whole life... and then learning you're the bad guy. If that's true, how am I supposed to live with that?
- Cecile Horton: I'm no fortune teller, but I can tell you that the sorrow I feel coming from you, August, bad guys, they don't feel remorse like that. Maybe the future is not so set in stone after all.
- Bart Allen: Uncle Jay. You're-you're here.
- Jay Garrick: Uncle? That's new. Um... yeah, I kinda like it. It's good to finally meet you, Bart.
- Eobard Thawne: Miss me?
- The Flash: Save it, Thawne. You're back because of us, right?
- Eobard Thawne: And in exchange, I've agreed to help you take down a psychopath.
- Godspeed: Flash, that was nuts! You do like to party.
- August Heart: What happened? Did you find the real me?
- Barry Allen: Yeah.
- August Heart: What did I say?
- Barry Allen: You got what you wanted. I'm here. Now tell me what you were doing at the Flash Museum. What do you really want, Heart?
- August Heart: My, oh, my. You're really direct. Then again, you're meeting me for the first time. We're bound to learn new things about each other.
- Barry Allen: Tell me what the hell's going on.
- August Heart: Or what? You'll force me to? Oh, Flash. I'm the living God of Speed. The one... unlike you and your infernal spawn.
- Barry Allen: You're gonna leave them alone, or I swear...
- August Heart: Are you threatening me, Flash? Here? Seriously? You still can't comprehend what you're dealing with. So let me enlighten you. Once upon a time, there was a young physicist named August who dreamed of moving faster than light, so he developed a way to achieve his goal and created the velocity formula. But it wasn't enough, because no matter how fast he ran, he soon came to realize one salient fact: that he'd never be fast enough.
- Barry Allen: Heart, tell me how to stop this war. Both sides are looking for you, including one that wants to kill you.
- August Heart: And what? You're gonna turn me over to them? Mm-mm. You're too much of a hero to sell me out. Now, Impulse, that's a different story.
- Barry Allen: I said leave my son out of this.
- August Heart: Oh, but I can't. He's the one who helped me realize the truth. That artificial speed would always be a pale imitation of the real deal. Spoiled little brat. He's not just reckless, he's unworthy. All the times we fought. He was so cavalier with his gift; a gift that should have been *MINE*! Now it will be... thanks to you.
- Barry Allen: That's what this is all about. You want organic speed.
- August Heart: [clapping sarcastically] Keep going.
- Barry Allen: Everything that's happened... us finding you, your clones, this war.
- August Heart: Is all a part of my plan to force your hand.
- Barry Allen: So why the act if your memories are still intact?
- August Heart: That's the one thing I didn't foresee. Memory loss is a side effect of fracturing myself in time. Who knew, right? Then again, I knew you'd come looking for answers, which eventually would bring you to me. Gift me the gift I deserve, and I'll save your precious city by reabsorbing my other selves. Or refuse my request... and watch your city burn.
- Barry Allen: There's no way that's happening. Besides, what you're asking me to do? It's impossible.
- August Heart: The impossible is your thing. You can figure it out. Or watch more cities fall as my army spreads and this entire world is torn apart. Oooooh! I can see those little wheels turning in your head. You're trying desperately to think of a way out of this. Well, guess what? There isn't. So what's your answer?
- [Barry stays silent]
- August Heart: Answer me, damn it!
- Barry Allen: I already did. I said no.
- August Heart: Oh, you'll change your mind. You have no choice.
- Jay Garrick: I know giving August Heart his powers back is crazy, but if we don't, we'd better come up with another idea. A big one.
- Barry Allen: [a thought strikes him] Not a big one. A fast one.
- [Reverse-Flash stabs Godspeed with a lightning saber]
- The Flash: Thawne! You could have killed him.
- Eobard Thawne: Wasn't that the plan? Didn't you say you needed help dealing with a threat? Well, I dealt with it. And now... and now... it's just you and me, Flash. I've been waiting for this moment for a long, long time.
- The Flash: I'm only gonna say this once. Walk away while you still can.
- Eobard Thawne: Allen. You are two weak to stop me. And I'm just getting started.
- [Barry goes into Flashtime to stop Thawne's attack and tosses him to the pavement]
- Eobard Thawne: What did you do? I created you. I taught you everything you know! Everything you are because of me! What did you do?
- The Flash: I got faster. Didn't you?
- Eobard Thawne: No. But I will, Flash. Mark my words. I will.
- Godspeed: There can only be one God of Speed, Flash! This didn't work out like you planned, Flash. Now guess what comes next? Tag, you're dead.
- Godspeed: Joining forces with your worst enemy just to take me down. That's very flattering, Flash, but it won't do you any good. Don't you two get it? You can't kill a god!
- Impulse: Hey, looking for me?
- Prisoner Godspeed: Kill the adversary. Kill the adversary. Kill the adversary.
- [the other Team Flash speedsters arrive]
- Prisoner Godspeed: Kill the adversary and his allies. Kill them. Kill them all. Kill the adversary and his allies. Kill them.
- Nora West-Allen: Bart's gonna be okay. He has to be.
- Caitlin Snow: He will be, Nora.
- Nora West-Allen: You don't know that. Nobody does. Caitlin, we can't get back home. Central City's being torn apart. My dad's out there doing something that'll probably get him killed. It just feels like everything's falling apart.
- Allegra Garcia: Chuck, I'm done with pep talks, okay? I can't charge your dad's gizmo. Not now, not ever.
- Chester P. Runk: Allegra, I don't give a crap about the S.E.E. right now. Right now, all I care about is my friend. Now, look, Esperaza chose to go on that mission. That's not on you. Okay? But you know what is? The Flash being alive today because you didn't go with her.
- Allegra Garcia: That doesn't make any sense.
- Chester P. Runk: That makes all the sense. That Godspeed clone in the Pipeline, he was gonna kill Barry. And you stopped that. Which means the Flash can get back to the business of ending this war. But Esperanza, she left to start one. She let the city down. You didn't. You helped lift it up.
- Allegra Garcia: You really think so?
- Chester P. Runk: Girl, I know so. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get back to the business of keeping Central City safe. So what do you say, you with me?
- [she hugs him]
- Chester P. Runk: I... I guess that means a yes.
- Speed Force: Barry, Iris, it's good to see you again.
- Iris West-Allen: Are the other Forces coming, too?
- Speed Force: No. With me here, they're all working overtime to keep the universe in balance. I've seen what you've all been facing. I've been fighting it myself within the Speed Force. Now, you all need to be at full strength in order to defeat this threat, which is why whether you're already a full speedster or have just a spark of Speed Force inside of you, I'm going to give you all a boost. That is if everyone's okay with that.
- Nora West-Allen: [as everyone nods, she snaps, and the others are all supercharged] Schway.
- Jay Garrick: Yup. That works.
- Iris West-Allen: Barry, Bart's still...
- Speed Force: I know. Oh, my impulsive boy.
- Caitlin Snow: [in the infirmary, watching Bart's vitals inexplicably stabilize] What in the world?
- Bart Allen: [whooshing into the Speed Lab] Whoo! Oh! I'm back.
- Barry Allen: [relieved he's okay] Bart.
- Bart Allen: [group-hugging] Hi, did you miss me? Did you miss me? Oh, thank you for the reboot, S.F.N. I appreciate it. Speed Force Nana. Uh, it's... it's our little thing. Oh, somebody re-did my nails. It must have been Caitlin.
- Barry Allen: So what are we gonna do about Godspeed's ultimatum?
- Nora West-Allen: We have to give him what he wants: organic speed.
- Barry Allen: Nora, I'm never gonna do that.
- Nora West-Allen: Dad, everything will be destroyed. Not just Bart, but whole families. We have to protect them.
- Barry Allen: What about our family? If Heart is Bart's Thawne, that means he's already caused Bart a lifetime of pain and suffering. But we can stop this, here, in this time, by finding another way.
- Nora West-Allen: But we've tried everything, Dad, and nothing's worked. And now Bart's dying, and we're still no closer to ending this damn war!
- Iris West-Allen: Nora, honey, if his clones could do this your brother, then what do you think would happen if the real August Heart got organic speed?
- Barry Allen: Ever since this war began, we've been outfought and outnumbered. That ends now. For all their speed, our opponents, no matter how fast they are, they can't outrun a force of nature.
- Nora West-Allen: [the Speed Force whooshes in] Big Nora! It's so good to see you. Yeah, we've already met. Remember when I first saw you? I was like, "Oh my gosh, the freaking Speed Force." And I was just so amazed and-and nervous and I just kept rambling on and on and on and totally embarrassing myself because she...
- Speed Force: Good to see you, too, Little Nora.
- Jay Garrick: This is a rare pleasure, ma'am. And if I may, you look a whole lot like someone very close to me.
- Speed Force: I get that a lot.
- Mecha-Vibe: I know we said we'd protect the city while the team figured out a way to end this, but can a man get a timeout?
- Frost: Not happening.
- Mecha-Vibe: [Godspeed clones appear] Hey, how long can you hold your breath?
- Frost: What does that matter?
- Mecha-Vibe: When I say now, we're gonna suck in a much air as we can and hold it in.
- Frost: What's that gonna do? Wait, you're not actually gonna...
- Mecha-Vibe: Oh, I'm gonna.
- Frost: No, no, no, no, no.
- Mecha-Vibe: Now!
- [Mecha-Vibe activates his gauntlet, and he and Frost are protected by a bubble; the Godspeed clones stop their attack and speed off]
- Mecha-Vibe: Yeah! Thank God those bubbles are temporary. That's right. Your boy put an auto-timer on the entropy bubble and in the process, answered his own question. A man can get a timeout! Am I a genius?
- Frost: Never do that again.
- Mecha-Vibe: I'll take that as a yes.
- Barry Allen: We need to get back out there. Frost and Mecha-Vibe need our help.
- Iris West-Allen: Yeah, we will, as soon as...
- Nora West-Allen: [watching the Godspeeds vanish] They're gone again. Wow, Frost and Mecha-Vibe make a hell of a team.
- Barry Allen: Chester, how long would it take to rebuild the S.E.E.?
- Chester P. Runk: Uh... four or five weeks, maybe?
- Bart Allen: Well, how come your tech thingy affected the clones and not us?
- Chester P. Runk: Well, you're all organic speedsters, so I tweaked my Pops' design to only target artificial cell membranes.
- Jay Garrick: Making it ineffective against us. Well done.
- Nora West-Allen: Dad, Mom, I know you both wanna keep the future safe, but if we don't stop this right now, there won't be a future to save. Please, can you just consider giving Heart organic speed?
- Barry Allen: Nora, I know that seems like the answer... but we're your parents. It's our job to protect you.
- Bart Allen: Maybe so. But Central City doesn't need parents right now. Dad, it needs heroes.
- Joe West: We haven't talked in a week. How are you?
- Kristen Kramer: I don't really know how to answer that. I just wanted to let you know that my meta test came back positive.
- Joe West: So you are a speedster?
- Kristen Kramer: Well, yes and no. Adam was right. I should've died in that bombing, but I didn't. And neither did he because he has immortal healing powers. And so did I when I absolutely needed them. Just like when I needed super-speed to save your life, I had it for just a moment.
- Joe West: That's incredible.
- Kristen Kramer: Turns out I can mimic the abilities of any meta in close proximity, which sounds insane, but it's real. Well, it's... it's given me new perspective on the path I took as a member of law enforcement, and... I'm so sorry, West, for all of it.
- Joe West: Hey, you lost your way a little, but I always knew that your heart was in the right place. You just needed to find it.
- Kristen Kramer: Agreed. That's why I'm taking an indefinite leave of absence from CCPD. Take care of yourself, West.
- Joe West: Kristen. Call me Joe.
- Cecile Horton: I love renewal ceremonies. And weddings.
- Joe West: [a little taken aback] Good to know.
- Jay Garrick: [as Barry pursues Godspeed] Heart's got organic speed. He just re-absorbed all his clones.
- Bart Allen: Jay's right. Until the excess speed burns off, Heart could be faster than you.
- Godspeed: [in Punjabi] Your end is near!
- The Flash: No one is dying tonight, Heart. But you are going to Iron Heights.
- Godspeed: [switching to English] You'll have to catch me first!
- Nora West-Allen: Dad, be careful! You don't know what he's capable of!
- The Flash: I will.
- Caitlin Snow: Thank God you guys are okay.
- Jay Garrick: We managed to save the reactor, but it looks like round two is about to begin.
- Iris West-Allen: And this time, there's no Speed Force Nora or the S.E.E.
- Nora West-Allen: We threw everything we had at them.
- Bart Allen: What are we gonna do? Dad?
- Kristen Kramer: [rescuing Joe from a Godspeed clone] How did I... . what just happened?
- Joe West: You just ran as fast as the Flash.
- Godspeed: [in Punjabi] This is why I chose this time, Flash.
- [switching to English]
- Godspeed: Now that you've leveled up, what better time to feast?
- [as he starts to absorb Barry's speed, he's knocked backward]
- Chester P. Runk: [watching at S.T.A.R. Labs] Wait, is that... Thawne?
- Cecile Horton: It sure as hell is.
- Bart Allen: I know what I said, but this is different. This is different. I'm not gonna let Heart kill anyone that I care for. Not now, not ever.
- Jay Garrick: I believe you, son. Now, we just met. You got no reason to listen to me. But we both know Barry, right? And if he says to stand down no matter what, he has a reason.
- Bart Allen: But it's...
- Jay Garrick: It's time to take our hats off, okay?
- Barry Allen: [giving organic speed to August] No matter what happens, stay here.
- Nora West-Allen: What?
- Bart Allen: Absolutely not.
- Barry Allen: Your mother and I have a plan.
- XS: Dad, something's wrong.
- Impulse: What's happening to us?
- Jay Garrick: Flash, we have a problem.
- Impulse: [watching all the Godspeed clones get back up] But we knocked 'em all out!
- Jay Garrick: They're being recharged.
- Iris West-Allen: How?
- Speed Force: They're feeding off me. It's what happened inside the Speed Force. And now that energy drain is affecting all of us.
- The Flash: Nora, you have to go.
- Speed Force: I can't let you fight alone.
- The Flash: You'll still be with us, but you have to leave. Right now.
- [she whooshes away]
- The Flash: We're not going down without a fight.
- Caitlin Snow: Are you sure you're okay with me being your plus one, because...
- Frost: Do not say his name.
- Caitlin Snow: Frost, I know...
- Frost: He lied to me and then totally bailed. I hate weddings.
- Caitlin Snow: Technically, this is...
- Frost: Okay, fine. A renewal ceremony.
- Cisco Ramon: My fellow Earthlings, today we are here to witness *the* greatest sequel since "Empire Strikes Back"...
- Barry Allen: Mm.
- Cisco Ramon: ...as Barry and Iris renew their vows and lend new meaning to the term "relationship goals". Now, I understand you both wrote a little something for each other.
- Barry Allen: Mm-hmm.
- Cisco Ramon: If you'd like to share, this is the time. Iris?
- Iris West-Allen: Barry... they say that love is a friendship that has caught on fire, but ours is a friendship that was struck by lightning. You and I are our own force of nature. And I promise today...
- [tearing up]
- Iris West-Allen: ...to continue loving you with my whole heart.
- Cisco Ramon: That was beautiful. Good luck following that.
- Barry Allen: Yeah. Iris... ever since we met, you've been my lightning rod. But now that you're my wife, you are my past, my present, and my only future. That's why today, I promise to continue loving you now and forever.
- Cisco Ramon: Okay, that was... that was decent. Ten points for Gryffindor. Now, then...
- Barry Allen: [taking Iris' hands] Oh, yes.
- Cisco Ramon: Do you, Iris, Bartholomew, take each other to cherish and to love in good times and bad for all the days of your life?
- Iris West-Allen: I do.
- Barry Allen: I... I do.
- Iris West-Allen: Again.
- Barry Allen: Again.
- Cisco Ramon: Then by the power vested in me by a last-minute internet web search... I now pronounce you husband and wife. Again. Am I... am I forgetting something?
- Iris West-Allen: Yes. The kiss.
- Cisco Ramon: Oh, yes. Th-Th-The kiss. Yes, do the thing.
- Iris West-Allen: [as they kiss, lightning whirls around them] Flashtime, huh?
- Barry Allen: Do you blame me? I want this moment to last forever.
- August Heart: How exactly will this give me my memories back?
- Jay Garrick: The theory is your artificial speed cells have gone dormant. But we believe that a speed boost from Barry can jumpstart them and give you organic speed.
- Cecile Horton: And the harness should trigger the rest. Hey, don't worry. It's gonna be okay.
- August Heart: Yeah. If... if this does work, I'll try to come back. Differently.
- Jay Garrick: Good luck.
- Nora West-Allen: Are you okay?
- Bart Allen: If Dad is right, and we're actually creating the future by doing this... everything from now on will be different.
- August Heart: I know you don't have to do this. So whatever your reasons are, I know they're pretty important. I just hope this works out for both of us.
- Barry Allen: Me, too.
- Caitlin Snow: How did you bring Thawne back?
- Iris West-Allen: Well, the Speed Force did it by connecting with the negative side, which is pretty dangerous. So with Barry occupied, I was the perfect choice to anchor the Speed Force.
- Nora West-Allen: Wait. Tapping into the Negative Speed Force... do I even know who you guys are?
- Bart Allen: Okay, but why Thawne? Like, why not just let us come help instead?
- Barry Allen: Sometimes, what makes a speedster dangerous isn't just speed.
- Jay Garrick: It's having no limits on how they use it.
- Barry Allen: Right. Godspeed has no limits. But Thawne, his one limit is he can't let anyone else kill me. That's why I knew he'd turn on me the first chance he got.
- Nora West-Allen: But, Dad, Thawne's still out there.
- Barry Allen: Yeah, and he'll be back someday, but that's future us's problem.
- Jay Garrick: What about August Heart?
- Barry Allen: He's in Iron Heights now.
- Jay Garrick: But, Barry, he knows your real identity. What if he talks?
- Barry Allen: Luckily, he's a speedster. So Speed Force Nora was able to remove that from his memory.
- Caitlin Snow: It's finally over.
- Bart Allen: Great. Can we eat now? I'm starving.
- Barry Allen: Family dinner tonight, on Dad.
- Nora West-Allen: Yeah, I would love that.
- Caitlin Snow: That sounds perfect.
- Barry Allen: I'll get us a reservation.
- Chester P. Runk: [with their speed, Nora, Bart, and Jay reassemble the S.E.E] Whoa, you guys are stellar.
- Bart Allen: Thank you. What did we just do?
- Chester P. Runk: Well, you saved me at least three weeks in the proverbial salt mines of science. At this rate, the modified version of my Pops' S.E.E. could be up and running in a day or two.
- Jay Garrick: A day or two? Isn't there some way we can speed that up a little?
- Nora West-Allen: There is, but Mom and Dad won't change their minds.
- Barry Allen: We already did. We're gonna give August organic speed.
- Bart Allen: [chortling] Okay.
- [realizing he's serious]
- Bart Allen: Oh, you're not kidding.
- Nora West-Allen: Where's Mom?
- Barry Allen: She's still with the Speed Force. They're both helping, too.
- Jay Garrick: What changed your mind?
- Barry Allen: My kids, when I realized that their future starts right now.
- The Flash: Frost, Mecha-Vibe, how are you doing?
- Mecha-Vibe: We're holding our own!
- Frost: Wouldn't say no to backup, though.
- Barry Allen: Ever since you came into my life, I've been more than just the fastest man alive. I've been the luckiest. Marrying you was the best decision I ever made.
- Iris West-Allen: Well, I agree.
- Barry Allen: Yeah, and even though we're husband and wife, you never really got the wedding you deserved. These past few days, when it looked like I might never see you again, I swore if I ever did, I would make it up to you. So...
- [getting down on one knee]
- Barry Allen: Iris West-Allen... will you renew your vows and re-marry me?
- Iris West-Allen: Yes. Yes, I will.
- Barry Allen: [after hearing Bart sing] That was crash.
- [seeing his look of distaste]
- Barry Allen: What?
- Bart Allen: No, no. Just no.
- Barry Allen: That's how... that's how you use it, right?
- Bart Allen: That's not how I say it. You say it weird.
- Allegra Garcia: Hang on to your buns!
- [charges up the S.E.E]
- Caitlin Snow: Whoa! The S.E.E. readings are at five times their maximum strength.
- Chester P. Runk: Oh, yeah, watch out world! This wavelength's off the charts!
- August Heart: [in Punjabi] Come to Daddy, my children!
- [absorbs the other Godspeed clones]
- August Heart: [switching to English] At last! True speed for a true god!
- Eobard Thawne: What did you do? I created you, I taught you everything you know! Everything you are is because of me! What did you do?
- Barry Allen: I got faster. Didn't you?
