It's the beginning.

He said it.

Before the beginning.

Huh? Who's there?

My lab. Something happened.

And I'm so hungry.

- Uh, let's see, I'll have the--
- Sausage and peas,

French fries, white toast,
apple pie and coffee.

You ordered a while ago,
and I wasn't about to forget

that culinary curiosity.

Iris.

That's what
the name badge says.

- Here you go--
- Oh, Iris!

Huh? What?

What just happened?

What was supposed
to happen here. We met.

I've been working too hard.

Hey, you should sit down.

- Is this okay?

I don't want to get you fired.

Doesn't matter.

Today is my last day.

I've just been
picking up shifts here
till my ship came in.

Where are you going?

I landed my dream job.

- GBS News.
- You're a reporter?

News writer. For now.

- But maybe someday. Who knows?

Oh, you'll make it.
I'm sure of it.

I'm Barry Allen, by the way.

Look, this may sound crazy,

but would you like
to go out for lunch?

Barry Allen.

You're already out to lunch.

Well, we could split this.

Flash.

Flash.

Get up.

Get up.

No!

- You need to get up.
- Come on,
Flash, get up.

- Please.
- We need you.

- You can do it.
- Get up, Flash.

Get up!

Please don't do this.

You weren't programmed to harm.

Get up. Get up, Flash.

The Flash. I'm the Flash.

Superman?

Looks like that last blast
rattled your cage a bit.

You'd better sit this one out.

I can handle this.

Whatever he is.

Android.

He's an android.
I remember now.

Amazo.

Amazo?

- How do you know its--
- I don't know.

Okay, fine.

I'll take care of Amazo.

No. No, don't.

Ahhh!

Weak.

I'm not weak.
You're just heavy.

Oh, you mean you're weak?

That android,
he somehow drained my power.

Like Parasite.

Yeah, me too.

But I think you got
the worst of it.

Oh, no.

Help me over there.

- I'll just...
- I hope it's not
your birthday, pal,

'cause you couldn't
blow out a candle.

- I'll draw him away.
- Flash, no.

He drained the energy
out of me.

- If he gets yours...
- Don't worry.

I'll keep my distance

- You all right?

Well, I got some speed left,
but not enough for,

you know,
a tornado or anything.

- You better get out of here.
- I'm not leaving you here.

Come on. That won't
slow him down for long.

Whoa. I know you.

- Robin Hood.
- Not Robin Hood.

Hmm. You're dressed like him.

Robin Hood doesn't have a car.

He needs medical attention.

S.T.A.R. Labs, maybe.

No. No S.T.A.R. Labs.

Yeah, I think
they're a little bit
too alien dissection-y.

Where else?

I have a friend.

Are you sure
this is a good idea?

Well, it is Halloween.

It's for you, sir.

- Trick or treat
- Bruce Wayne?

I thought this address
was familiar, but...

Hello, Ollie.

And you're Barry Allen.

A forensic scientist
from Central City.

Wow. How did you--

We have a friend of yours.
He gave us your address.

Bring him inside.

- Earth to Barry.
- Huh?

The flowers.

What kind of flowers
should we have
at the reception?

Irises.

We had irises on
every table. Will have.

I mean, it would look nice
if we have irises
on every table.

You were time tripping again.

Quality time is my
love language.

And here,
you were in another era.

No, I wasn't--

Yeah. I was.

Just before the
Justice League formed.

You know, there are other ways
to help people

without risking your life
all the time.

Why don't you help him?

- Here.
- Uh. Hey, mister.

Here. Why don't you get
yourself something to eat?

The worlds are ending.

Really? Which ones?

All of them.

Uh, I'm coming.

Hello.

Barry.

Oh, Bruce.
I hardly recognized you.

I'm so used to seeing you
with all the stuff on.

Come in.

Hey, sport. What's your name?

Dick.

I'm Barry.

Uh, can I get you guys
anything to drink?

Some grape soda,
or Iris left something
called kombucha?

Maybe it's tea?

No, thanks.

- I'm good.
- Uh...

You know, my nephew
Wally's about your age.

He's playing video games
down in the basement.

Introduce yourself.

Can I?

He just lost both his parents.

Circus accident outside Gotham.

Not really an accident.

Oh, I heard about that.

Poor kid.

You have connections with
the Central City Orphanage.

Yeah, I volunteer there. Why?

I can't put him
in the system in Gotham.

Social services there
is not optimum.

I see.

Bruce, have you
thought this out?

Yes. That's what I do.

Right. Look.
I may be way out of line here,

but he seems
comfortable with you.

You have means.
Plenty of room.

- Have you considered maybe--
- What?

Fostering him?

It's too dangerous.
You know what my life is like.

Bruce, he's a tightrope walker
or something.

He'll probably be
safer with you.

My mission demands
100% commitment.

Doesn't leave much time
left over for a kid.

Well, you should make time.
It'd be good for him.

Good for the mission.

But most of all,
it'd be good for you.

I didn't come here
for a lecture.

Now, are you going
to help me or not?

Is he going to die?

I'm not convinced he can die.

His cells are starting
to bank energy.

I think he'll be fine.

So, you're the Batman?

Is it the Batman
or just Batman?

When was the last time
he was conscious?

He passed out right after
giving us your address.

Thanks for understanding.

I was kind of afraid
you'd be angry.

What makes you think I'm not?

So, how long did it take?

Figuring out
my secret identity?

Oh, shit.

Yeah, well, I would have
figured out yours too.

Eventually.

- Clearly, proximity
to the android

allows him to absorb
and store supernormal energy.

Some of yours.
Most of his.

Destroying him
may be a challenge.

You think it'll come to that?

We'll have to destroy Amazo?

The android.

I mean, it didn't seem like
he knew he was doing
anything wrong.

In fact, he looked sad
when that old guy

gave him a talking to.

Dr. Anthony Ivo,
multiple PhDs,
Nairobi University.

Metropolis Institute
of Technology.

Quantum Energy Mechanics.

AI, robotics.

I know this guy.
Real eccentric.

Brilliant, obviously.

I tried to hire him,
but Luthor poached him away.

LexCorp reported him missing
three weeks ago.

I wonder what he's got.

Oh, this twitch.

It's often a symptom
of nerve cell degeneration.

Yeah, or carpal
tunnel syndrome.

Whatever.

The point is, there is a super powerful
giant robot out there. And what are we
going to do about it?

Based on its abilities,

I suspect that this pointless
attack in Metropolis

- was just subterfuge.
- Distracting us from what?

I don't know.

But whatever that is,
we'll have to wait
until morning.

I brewed a particularly
strong blend, sir.

Just what I needed, Alfred.

Apparently, I'm going to need
about ten million of these.

This should help you
more than the coffee.

Bruce, I'm sorry
about all of this.

I didn't know where else to go.

Relax.

It's not like
he's gonna kill us to keep
his identity secret.

You're not, right?

Look, we should know
each other's identities

if we're going to be
a team anyway, right?

- What?
- Well, for months,

Flash has been nagging me
to form some kind of
secret superhero club.

Yeah, I saw
it worked great on...
Well, on a parallel Earth.

Even ignoring that last part,

it is a terrible idea.
I'm a loner.

It is a terrible idea.

Nevertheless, it's exactly
what we're going to do.

The four of us are forming
some kind of super team?

No.

Not just the four of us.

You're kidding, right?

I'm already on a team.

It's called
the Green Lantern Corps.

I'll pass.

What a jerk!
That guy is the worst.

We have enough.

You must believe.

You must bear witness.

Ahhh!

Oops. My bad.

Hey! It's okay. I--

Toto, I have a feeling
we're not
in Central City anymore.

Except I am in Central City.

Argh! I did it again.

No.

I didn't.

That homeless guy,
he did something to me.

He sent me here.

No tanks. No Nazis.

Well, maybe Nazis.

I dub thee Earth-3.

Okay. This looks more familiar.

Speedster. Bank robbery.

Maybe I can help
this world's Flash.

Well, look who we have here.
A regular zippy Rodriguez.

Pretty sure you mean
Speedy Gonzales,

and where I come from,
we look down on stealing,
crime and supervillains.

Okay, then you sure aren't
from around here, mate.

Because that's not stealing.

That's just how things
get done now.

The Syndicate's become
the government.

Whatever. If you don't mind,
I need to give this back.

Now, hold up, mate!

Crikey, it's like running
with cement in my shoes.

You're using up
half my Speed Force.

Funny, I feel faster
than usual.

Yeah, that's 'cause
I killed every other speedster
on this planet.

How do you not know that?

What now?

Offed 'em. With a little help
from the rest
of the Crime Syndicate.

Crime Syndicate?

Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's just for
old times' sake.

What we really are is
the worldwide
absolute government.

Sounds pretty cool, eh?

That'd be them now.
They tend to notice
when I'm late with the money.

We got Power Ring, Owlman,

Superwoman and Ultraman.

I'm Johnny Quick, by the way.
I'd introduce you,

but...
You'll be too busy being dead.

How would you like
to die, speedster?

Old age.

Not only are we thrilled
that this fine city
would welcome

our newly formed
team of heroes,

but that it would give us
the opportunity to renovate

its beloved Metropolis
Terminal station
as our headquarters.

- Our new home.

- Why here?
- I picked it up for a song.

And this courtyard
offers easy egress.

Martian Manhunter, Vixen,
Green Arrow, Flash,

Batman and myself
could not be more thrilled
or humbled

at your trust
and confidence in us.

But I'd be remiss

if I didn't mention
that this is all truly

due to the efforts
of Central City's
Scarlet Speedster,

- the Flash.

Oh, uh...

Yeah, thank you, Superman.

Yes.

And I suppose you'd like
to perhaps reveal

the name of this exciting
first-ever super team...

right now.

Right, Flash?

The name.
Yeah, of the team, yes.

Yes, it's...
It is the Justice Syn...

League.

The Justice League.

Oh, crap.

Warning.
There's a shard of wood headed
for the Green Arrow's head.

On it.

Wait. Who's talking to me?

I've absorbed ample energy
to allow communication
at excessive speeds.

Okay, skipping over
the inherent weirdness...

Why are you doing this?

A projectile
endangers Batman.

Please clarify your inquiry.

Why do you show concern
for our safety

while you're in the middle
of an attack on us?

Faulty interpretation.

Attack is contrary
to primary function.

What is your primary function?

Primary function
designated by Professor Ivo

is to prolong
and improve human life.

Draining Superman will not
prolong or improve his life.

New mission parameters indicate
that Superman is not human.

You're endangering
all of these lives.

You didn't do that last time.

You were careful.

What happened?
What is Ivo telling you now?

Mission parameters have been
amended by New Best Friend.

Your "new best friend,"
I presume.

- Ah. Thank you, Justice League.

Prioritize integration
of Superman's energy.

Sensors indicate
Superman's vital signs
are precarious.

This is inconsistent
with my programming.

I believe you'll
find my orders

are compliant with
new code I provided.

Now, do it!

Luthor's battle suit
complicates this situation.

What are you doing?
You're calling in an airstrike?

It's our best option.

Turning downtown Metropolis
into a war zone cannot
be the best option.

We have to act now,

while Flash still retains
some of his speed.

He can clear before--

You start dropping bombs?

It's too dangerous.

- The civilians...
- Will be cleared out.

We have to destroy that AI
before it gets too powerful.

Don't confuse weakness
with compassion.

You're the one who's confusing
brutality for strength.

Confused. That's what Amazo is.

What he needs is...
Wait right here.

Incredible.

Where am I?

You're in
the Hall of Crime, idiot.

And we do the questioning here.

Who the hell are you
and where do you come from?

I'm...
called the Flash.

I'm a crime fighter.

I'm not from your world.

I'm from a parallel Earth.

What a load of crap.

Whoever he is,
he's a speedster.

As soon as he showed up,
my access to the Speed Force
cut in half.

I'm already bored.

Superwoman, can we move on
to the part I still like?

By all means.

Oh. Lasso of Truth. Fine.

Lasso of Truth?

Not quite.

This is my Lasso of Submission.

That's better.

Tell me if you're lying.

No. No, it's true.

- Talk!

It's true!

- He's telling the truth.

Interesting.

Would you shut that thing off?

Ultra hearing.

What a load of crap.

Perhaps not.

Our nemesis, Alexander Luthor,
theorized about such worlds.

Oh, Luthor.

Of course you'd have
one of him here too.

So he must be
some kind of hero?

He thought so.

He stood in our way.

None of this makes any sense.

You rule this planet.

How can you be the government
and criminals?

- Ha!

Look at you.
You own everyone
and everything.

But I've never seen a more
miserable group in my life.

You're right.

We're bored.

But you've given us
a precious gift. A challenge.

A new world to conquer.
Armies to crush.

Superbeings to slaughter.

Billions of people to enslave.
A reason to fight.

To live.

- Bring us there.

Uh, oh, hey, hey, hey. Hold up.

I don't think he can.

His problem,
we share the same Speed Force.

It slows us both.

So all we have to do
is kill one of you,

and the other one
is fast enough.

- Oh, hey. Look, mate.

I don't know how to do it,
so just don't kill him yet.

- No.

He lives.

What the hell?

It's that beggar
who never shuts up
about the end of the world.

Guess you're in a hurry to die.

Kill him.

I have tried. Can't.

What's this?

The end.

Hold still.

John, you're in a tuxedo.

Uh, very observant.

You know, I sometimes forget
you're a detective.

Wally, slow down.
That's got to last
the whole reception.

It's my wedding day.

You're my best man.

You really have a gift
for being in the moment.

I remember.

Clark and Bruce are
on another planet.

J'onn too.

Uh, I gotta talk to Iris.

It's bad luck to see the bride
before the ceremony.

Oh, Lois. Hi.

That's right.
You're Iris' maid of honor.

I see John
got you here on time.

There's another bet I lost.

Look, I got to see Iris.

- Barry. It's bad lu--
- Luck. I know.

Not this time.

Iris?

We've never done life
the normal way.

Why start now?

Wow.

Finally, you say
the right thing.

Now, what's up?

I need to
tell you something.

I need to tell you
about the Flash.

You mean Jay Garrick?

Look, when I came back
from Earth-3
with all its Speed Force,

my whole life
flashed before my eyes.

And I've been bouncing
back and forth between
moments in my life.

I never know where I am,
but I know something's
about to happen.

What's going to happen?

I only half remember it,
but...

But it always happens
the day we get married.

Something major.

You found me.

Ivo. You're Anthony Ivo.

Yes. We must go.

Luthor has control
of my android.

Your android. Amazo.

He is a threat to you,
and Superman,
and all like you.

You have to take me
to him. Quickly.

Your file says you're 39.

You have
Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome.

Accelerated ageing.

You must be a doctor.

Well, PhD, not a medical...

Look, I can't speed you there.

- In your condition--
- My condition is what
started this.

I'd been working on
quantum energy
absorption technology

for LexCorp for years
when I discovered
I was dying.

This hyper-aging disease
killing me, eating me alive.

Lex encouraged me to fight.
To use my intellect
to prolong my life

and share that miracle
with others.

Lex had access
to extraterrestrial technology

that created
the Parasite creature.

And he reasoned
if we could syphon energy off
newly appearing metahumans,

we could use it to supercharge
the immune systems
of regular people.

I was already designing
an AI PTO to be
a perfect battery.

It's virtually indestructible.

Didn't you,
I don't know,

think twice before making
an indestructible android?

I printed my own engrams
on the AI's neuro network.

He would never
knowingly hurt others.

He only wants to help.

Lex has
reprogrammed him somehow.

Well, for someone
who wants to help,

he's doing an
awful lot of hurting.

What am I doing?
I got to get out
there and help.

This world...

already dead.

You're a regular Sadie Sunbeam,
aren't you?

I saw you in my world.

I walk all worlds
that are doomed to die.

My punishment.

For what?
What did you do?

So long... I don't remember.

But I know you share my guilt.

There's one behind you,
four o'clock.

Friend,
the energy in these beings
runs dangerously low.

Don't you worry
your pretty little
head about it.

My word is sacrosanct, remember?

Our superpowered friends
are just about dead.

We can't keep this up
much longer.

We won't have to.

- My contingency plan is ready.

Okay, but let's hold off
on going to Defcon 1.

You can't imagine
I didn't anticipate that.

Batman, is it?

I knew every move you'd make
before I finished breakfast.

Intelligence is my superpower.

Which is still a better power
than "bow and arrow."

I'm surprised that someone
with your mental acumen

wouldn't see the obvious
necessity of depowering
these meta-freaks.

Or did you?

No matter. Drain them.

Drain the very last iota
of power from them.

Friend, this action
seems inconsistent

- with my primary function.

Priority override.

Do it.

What is your primary function?

The preservation
and extension of human life

by siphoning off the surplus
power of metahumans

and its redistribution
to ailing humans.

Power to the people.

In this case,
your powers to
deserving people.

Me.

But you two have become
an irritation as well.

Priority override.

Maximum energy release
directed at...

these.

No.

You must not.

This action is wrong.

I am pleased to see you
up and about, Professor.

But surprised.

The Friend said
you were too ill
to leave the infirmary.

That you required the energy
we are collecting
to extend your life.

He is not your friend.

He gives faulty data.

He lied to me as well.

Told me you could extend life.

I believed him.
I wanted to extend my own life.

But you cannot give life,
only take.

Priority override!
Destroy them all!

Your programming compels you!

Oh, crap.

I cannot disobey an order
from a designated user.

But... there is one order
that takes priority.

I am dying, Amazo.
Your sensors will confirm this.

Extend my life.
Release the meta-energy to me.

What is happening?

Transferring meta-energy
to creator.

Professor Ivo.

Are you unwell?

He's dead.

That is an
unacceptable outcome.

Everything functioned
within expected parameters.

Of course, Luthor had
no interest in preserving life.

Only stealing your power.

He was a great man.

He died a hero.

Enough of this.
Absorb their remaining energy

and destroy anyone who attempts
to stop you.

Amazo.

What are odds against
contracting Hutchinson-Gilford
syndrome?

Less than one in four million.

Now, what are odds
that a genius like Ivo,

who had the skill
to create you,
would contract that syndrome?

The likelihood is far greater
that you infected Professor Ivo
with the disease

to motivate him
to create this unit.

You are not a friend.

Your actions shortened
Professor Ivo's life.

That is counter
to our primary function.

Amazo, don't do this.
Professor Ivo wouldn't
want you to.

He valued all human life.
Even this guy's.

His final actions
indicate that he valued
metahuman life as well.

Justice League,

I return to you
everything I have taken.

I feel my strength returning.

It is over.

That it is.
Especially for him.

Amazo.

I was built on a lie.

I was unable to carry out
my primary function.

He prolonged our lives.

You saved us.

I only saved you from me.

I'm glad this worked
and everything,

but I'm kind of sorry
this whole Justice League thing
was just a ruse.

It doesn't have to be.

I tried to anticipate
every possible outcome.

How does that make me
any different than Luthor?

There's strength
in different points of view.

In teamwork.

The Justice League, then?

The Justice League.

After all,
I already bought the building.

Barry! Wake up!

Okay.

Get a move on.
Breakfast is ready.

Oh. You made breakfast.

Since when do you
make breakfast?

Since it's our special day.

It's our anniversary?

Not exactly.

Look what I made.

Ugh.

No offense.

Sausage and peas,
French fries,

white toast, apple pie
and coffee.

I thought you were crazy.

Oh, I think I was too.

And today is the anniversary
of that day?

How many years?

Oh... who knows?

But it was the best day
of my life.

Oh. Mine too, honey.

How everything turned out.

No regrets?

Mm.

None whatsoever.

I love our life together.

Now, eat that disgusting slop
before it gets cold.

And then we better
get to work.

What's going to happen?

Well, I only half
remember it, but...

it always happens
the day we get married.

Something major.

Well, what do we do about it?

I'm not sure,
but it's all going to be fine.

We're gonna spend
our lives together,

grow old together, I promise.

You can't promise that, Barry.

I can.

You're probably wondering
how I got roped into this,
aren't you?

Well, not a lot of people
know this,

but my father pastored
the smallest church

in M'Changa province, Zambessi.

No church jet,
or church bus, or church walls,
for that matter.

Just the most precious
resource of all. People.

I never saw my father happier

than when he was uniting people
together like this.

And I've never seen two people
more united than Iris West
and Barry Allen.

This is the thing.

Yeah, I figured.

Barry Allen of Earth-1.

You are needed.

Look, it's okay, everybody.
She's with me.

- This is--
- I am Harbinger.

Your world is in
terrible danger.

Come with me.

And I get that.

But would waiting
an hour or two really make
that big a difference?

I've been sent to gather
Earth's greatest champions.

You're collecting
all the heroes.
Is that right?

Well, we've got Green Arrow,
Vixen, Green Lantern
right here.

We can save you,
like, five trips.

What do you say?

Flash.

Working for the Nazis
didn't do you any favors.

We have not met.

I hail from an Earth
almost completely
covered by water,

thanks to you
surface dwellers.

Bruce!

Look at you.
We're almost the same age.

Do I know you?

It's Dick.

Dick Grayson. Robin?

The Flying Graysons.
Tony Zucco.

Yes.

Uh, on my Earth,

you took me in
after my parents' murder.

Trained me.
I became your partner.

I...

That seems
terribly irresponsible.

Maybe, but you, uh...

He became my family.

We helped a lot of people.

I'm sorry.

This must be so weird to you.

And I apologize for this,

but there's someone here
who really wants to meet you.

Bruce, this is the Huntress.

Helena Wayne.

Dad?

You look like her.

Is Selina Kyle your...

Yeah. Batman and Catwoman.

A match made in Arkham.

This must be weird for you,
but, well...

Dad's been gone
for a few years now,

and it's just nice
to see his face.

Excuse me.

Are you a sight for sore eyes.

Kal, this is Clark Kent
from Earth-1.

You have a lot in common.

I guess we do.

You're probably relieved to see
you'll keep most of your hair.

Will Everett, Amazing Man.

Blue Beetle, Ted Kord.

This is Eve Eden, Nightshade.

I question the wisdom

of immediately revealing
your identity to someone
you just met.

We're not even
from the same Earth.

Or so they claim.

Dr. Hoshi, I know this all
must seem very strange

and disorienting to you, but--

Strange?

Yeah, you got that right.

Everyone else here is dressed
and you have to kidnap me
in my bathrobe?

This fabricator can provide you
with whatever clothing
you can imagine.

I'm a photonics expert,
not a fashion designer.

Don't worry.

The machine anticipates
your needs

- and designs appropriately.

Are you kidding me?

Am I supposed to
actually wear this?

There is more.

Holy crap.

This is nuts.

I can see the entire
light spectrum.

What did you do to me?

Change me back!

As the Monitor ordered,
you now possess the powers

that belong to the
criminal Doctor Light.

Oh. It's not that bad.

Dawnstar.

Do you still not know me?

I don't understand
what's happening.

I came back in time
from the 31st century
on a mission.

Then you just showed up.

Do you not?

Kara! Is that really you?

It's really me.

I don't understand.
What happened to you?

It's a long story.

I'll tell you the whole thing
as soon as we--

Hear me.

I am a Monitor.

A member of a race
ancient beyond your reckoning.

Since before your worlds began,

my kind has lived
to observe and document,

but never interfere,
with every event occurring
in the known universes.

Whoa. Big job.

Shh.

I have broken sacred vows
due to a peril so dire,

it threatens all realities
with utter annihilation.

Behold...

Most of you are aware
that you live in a reality

that runs parallel
to many possible versions
of your universe.

Some time ago,
my people became
conscious of this.

Display the wave.

Yes, Monitor.

A massive
antimatter wave,
so vast and destructive,

it decimates everything
in its path.

Entire realities have been
erased from existence.

I've gathered you all together
and hope that we can find

some way to stop this disaster

and save your worlds.

Well, gotta change for work.

I don't know why you bother.

Just feels right.

For old times' sake, I guess.

That thing is as slow
as molasses in January.

You'd be better off
keeping it on a hanger.

Look, I'm already ready.

Waiting on Barry,
just like the old days.

I know why you still put
that raggedy old thing on.

Because you still look
damn good in it.

Don't you think
it's a bit absurd

to use the emergency beacon
in the middle of this?

Hell's breaking loose
all over this stupid planet.

I... I stopped five tsunamis.

Then I saw it.

Damn, it gets worse.

Yeah.

I was kind of hoping
that magic hobo
was full of shit.

This planet might suck,
but it's ours.

So we do what we always do.

Fight like hell.

All right. What's the plan?

My plan?

My plan is I'm going to punch
that antimatter wall so hard,

it's gonna shatter
into a million pieces.

Wait! This can't be the plan.

You're a strategist.

Logical.

This is a stupid
and useless gesture.

Perhaps. The time comes
when the most logical
course of action

is a stupid, useless gesture.

Entire realities
have been erased
from existence.

End display.

I've gathered you all
and hope that together,

we can find some way
to stop this disaster

and save your worlds.

Excuse me, but--

I have many questions.

It would be strange indeed
if you did not.

I think that's
the Phantom Stranger.

Few people ever see him.

No, he's from my world.

They call him the Question
because he never shuts up.

Why should we believe
any of this?

You kidnap us, show us a movie
and tell us we need to obey you

in order to save the world.

All of this is
profoundly suspect.

He makes a good point.

When told to give up
our freedoms

because we face
an insurmountable threat,

is there not also a threat
in relinquishing our freedoms?

And why Earth?

The universe is massive
beyond comprehension.

But most of us are from Earth.

The reason is simple.

The Earth is the first world
destroyed in every universe.

Once it falls,
all else follows.

Such an antimatter wave
is theoretically possible,
but--

He's given us no proof at all.

What's to stop us
from taking over this spaceship

and figuring out
how to get ourselves home?

It's true. It's all true.

Wonder Woman, hit me.

For those of you
who don't know,

the Lasso of Truth
compels complete honesty.

Look, I was on
one of the Earths

that was swallowed
by this wave.

It happened.

The threat is real.

Uh-oh.

That does not look good.

It's just like he said.
Coming at us like
an avalanche.

It's coming for us, all right.
Pure antimatter.

And speaking as a scientist,
we are completely
and totally screwed.

Then who are we to fight?

You assemble
an army of warriors

and you give us
no one to attack.

This isn't that kind of fight.

We can't punch our way
out of this.

You got that right.

Michael Holt,

Kimiyo Hoshi,

Ted Kord.

Genius-level scientists.

Shayera Hol,

Diana of Themyscira,

the Aquaman of Atlantis Earth.

Each knowledgeable
about exo-terran technology.

This is a think tank.

"Think tank"?

There's an antimatter avalanche
headed for our worlds,

and this guy
wants to brainstorm?

We need to take action.

You're quite right,
Amazing Man.

That's why the rest of you
were brought here.

You each possess the skills,
strength and speed

to construct whatever defense
your best scientists devise.

What are you doing?

We need geniuses.

Your 31st-century boyfriend
would come in handy about now.

Unfortunately,
the antimatter waves
somehow nullifies time travel.

Communication may work,
but we can neither summon

more allies here
nor escape into the past.

And if we're not able to devise
some kind of solution?

Then everything
in the Multiverse

will be completely
and utterly destroyed.

Run!

Ahhh!

Oh, damn it!

Come on, we can make it.

Make the jump with me.

Not enough Speed Force.

And I'm in no shape.

All that crap you said
about your world.

Was it true?

Wh... What? Yeah.

Lucky you.

No!

Wakey-wakey, eggs and bakey.

After all this time, Barry,

I fail to see the humor
in that joke.

Oh, have I done
that one before?

- Yes.
- Oh, well, breakfast time.

Hope you get a charge
out of this.

You've said that before too.

Well, what have you got
for us today?

I am excited to announce
that work on the final stage

of the project
is 99% complete.

I have prepared
detailed instructions
for both you and Iris.

- Whoa. That's a lot of cable.
- I know.

But it must be connected now.
Before--

Before I'm too weak to do it.

I know, I know.

I'm old, not senile.

At least, I don't think so.

The lapses in memory
that have plagued you

have been present
your entire life

and are not indicative
of a deteriorating
mental state.

Hey, don't tell me.
Tell the old lady.

Well, off to save the world.

The fact remains
that no shielding

would be sufficient protection
from the phenomenon.

The shields we created
in Atlantis are designed
to withstand waves.

Not antimatter waves.

The theory is the same.

But the power consumption.

We'd require the energy
of a thousand exploding suns

to put fields around
half our worlds!

Let's keep our
tempers in check.

This is
a brainstorming session,
not a debate.

It's a goddamn crisis,
Princess.

Hey.

I thought you guys could do
with some coffee.

Ah. That's very
thoughtful of you.

Well, gotta keep Team Brain
chugging along,

so Team Brawn
can get to work, right?

Um...

This is the best coffee
I've ever had in my life.

He's right. It's amazing.

And I didn't even like coffee.

Well, I used water
from Aquaman's Earth,

coffee beans from Jarhanpur
on Earth-X

and cardamom from...
I forget what Earth that was.

Harbinger took you
to all those worlds?

No, I use super speed
to vibrate so quickly,

I can pass through anything.

Even through the planes
separating dimensions.

Likewise, anything would
pass through you

while vibrating at super speed.

Yeah. It's my best trick.

As a matter of fact,
when Earth-3 was wiped out,

I soaked up
all its Speed Force.

I'm supercharged.

And it kind of knocked me out
of my linear time experience,
which sucks, but...

What?

A massive vibrational generator
on each of the Earths--

Like a colossal
cosmic tuning fork.

A tower.

If we could power
just one of them,

the vibrations
would reverberate

through all of them.

Even with a superpowered
construction team,

the task of organizing
a project on this scale--

You forget, we have Batman.

So, I was right
about the coffee, huh?

Hey, uh, Clark,
I've been meaning to ask you...

When you saw Lois
at the party...

Yes. There was
a Lois on my world.

She was a real firecracker.

We were married for...
We had a good run.

Old age.

I was heartbroken
for a long time.

And Diana?

Sometimes losing loved ones

gives people
something in common.

Someday,
she'll lose me too.

We're not immortal.

She is. To lose everyone
again and again...

Great Scott.

No! It can't.

We had time.

We were going to finish.

Are you seeing this?

It's impossible.

A wave, any kind of wave,
cannot just... accelerate!

I have borne witness
to the universe for millennia.

Nothing I have seen
would explain this.

There's only one explanation.

The anomaly became aware
of our plans and adapted.

Impossible.
It's a natural phenomenon,
not a sentient foe.

I'm afraid we won't be around
long enough to find out.

Wait, this is it.

There's nothing we can do.

We just watch the world end?

Run. Run to her.

This is Iris West
for GBS News.

The antimatter wave
has somehow made a huge leap
closer to our world.

Collision is imminent
and the final defense towers
remain unfinished.

If you are a believer, pray.
If you have loved ones,
hold them close.

Iris.

I'm so sorry
I wasn't here for you.

You were.

You were late
for every dinner,
every movie.

But you were always right
on time when I needed you.

I love you, Barry.

No, I won't let you go.

Here. Here, let me get that.

Don't you get all sexist on me.

You do your list
and I'll do mine.

Otherwise, we're never
gonna finish.

Yes, boss.

Barry...

No.

No. Iris.

I'll get you home.

I already am home...

wherever you are.

Iris, please.

You can't leave me.

It's not for long.

We're almost finished.

Besides, we've had
the whole world
all to ourselves

all these years.

We can't be greedy.

Iris.

This is the big one, Barry.

Don't...
Don't be late.

Contact Robin...
and Huntress.

Is it as bad as it looks?

Yes. I just want to say...

Dad... Bruce, it's okay.

I already miss Iris very much.

Yes. Me too.

But it's not for long.

Yes, Barry.

Even at this speed,
the wave moves
and it is nearly here.

Will these things work?

I do not know.

Do you have enough power
to light 'em up?

Almost.

After all these years...

almost enough.

You'll have to drop down
into normal time.

The towers can't operate
at this speed.

Okay. You ready?

I don't wanna cut this
too close.

Before we go...

- Barry?
- Yes, Amazo?

Thank you for helping me
achieve my primary function.

To prolong human life.

Well, I guess you've done that
in a big way.

If we don't blow up.

- Look!

The tower.

Barry.

It's finished.

Here goes nothing.

Earth-2 tower is powering up.

Earth-X tower coming online.

All towers are now functional.

Will it be enough?

Unknown.

We'll find out. In ten,

- nine...

...eight, seven...

six...

five, four,

three, two...

one.

Contact with antimatter wave.

Please... God...

The experiment was
a success, Monitor.

Astonishing.

You didn't believe
it could be done.

No.

Neither do I believe in you.

Yet you tried anyway.

You hoped.

- Perhaps I did.
- Interesting.

It is said you cannot have hope
without faith.

We did it.

You see that, Amazo?

We did it. What do you think...

He knew.

In Amazo's last moment
of existence,

he knew he had helped
save humanity.

So...

You're Death?

I am the Spectre,

the Wrath of God.

Death is... better looking.

But you are right in thinking
that the end is close.

Wrath, huh?
Guess I'm in trouble.

You bear some responsibility
for all that has happened here.

Oh. How?

It happened
before the beginning,

but you have already
paid a heavy price

for being unmoored in time.

Well, I'm ready for whatever.

I just wish
I could say goodbye.

The Speed Force
still claims you its own.

It will grant your farewells
before the end comes.

What does that mean?

The Flash...

- The Flash...

It's the beginning.

He said
"before the beginning."

Huh? Who's there?

It's... It's you, isn't it?

Go back.

You must go back.

You must stop it.

Go back...

to before the beginning.

We can save you,
like, five trips.

What do you say?

Yeah, too bad Batman
and Superman are AWOL,

or we'd give you them too.

I have already
teleported Batman,

Superman and Wonder Woman
to the Monitor's satellite.

They await us there.

Listen... Harbinger?

I got a proposition for you.

Dawnstar? Are you okay?

I... I feel weird.

- Monitor!

Brainy! Brainiac 5, come in!

There's something wrong
with Dawnstar.

She's vanishing.

You've got to help her!

Kara...

Brainy. No!

It's not just her... or me.

The whole world, Kara.

The universe, maybe.
It's all vanishing.

What's happening?

How do I stop it?

I... I think whatever
happened back there

changed history, my world.
Everything I know
never happened.

A chrono-anomaly, I...

I... I never really existed.

Brainy. No!

But if you somehow
remember me,

know this...

I loved you, Kara...

No!
