"Am I really about to watch my own funeral?" Tiana asked as Trevor was gently pushing her towards the couch, before they were both sitting down and everybody else was grabbing chairs and moving furniture around so that they could all sit down and watch.

"Basically, yes." Trevor said quickly without any delay and really right now, Tiana didn't actually want an answer to that as the TV screen lit up in front of them and everybody started to cheer at the sight of the funeral spark, beginning to show up.

After feeling sick at how sad her kids, plus the rest of their group was looking, Tiana flashed out of the door and she was retching, emptying out her stomach as she was trying to calm down. A very important fact for her was discovered, she could still have panic attacks when she was dead and buried.

After she was done emptying her stomach, Tiana took off running and she didn't intend on stopping until she couldn't run anymore and she was remembering a few people that she hadn't seen yet.

"Where could they be?"

Tiana thought to herself, before she was skidding to a stop just outside of the ghost-like Central City and she was looking at the buildings that seemed all too familiar. Tiana was slowly walking through the streets and it felt like a ghost town, she could hardly see anybody around and when she did, they were closing their blinds so that she could no longer see them.

Tiana came up to the building that she hadn't walked into in ages. She stared up at STAR Labs and she was nodding slightly, before she was walking into the building. Tiana was looking around her and it seemed cleaner than usual, but maybe that was because the last time she had been in it, it was dirty, dusty and exploding from the inside out.

Tiana was walking over to the main control room and she stopped, seeing the backs of the people that she had been missing since childhood. "Mom? Dad?" Her voice came out small, it was a terrifying scenario and they were turning around to look at her, before their eyes widened at the sight of her.

"Tiana." Tiana was crying already, as her parents were both quickly walking forward and enveloping her in tight hugs. "Oh, sweetheart. It's okay." Tiana was trying to say something but her emotions kept choking her, before they were all hugging and Tiana was crying it all out.

"Drumroll... Please... Let the race begin!" Liliana Lynnwood called out and she was firing a starting gun into the air and immediately, both Tiana and Barry took off running.

Tiana was actually beating her father, something that she never thought that she would have the chance to do. She was powering forward until she was nothing but a streak of light and Barry was laughing, surprised by the fact that she could beat him.

Originally, they were going to just return back to Central City, but at some point in time and during their race to boot, Trevor had appeared and he was running alongside them all. "You know, there's still one person that you haven't talked to. Right?" He called out and Tiana glanced at him with narrowed eyes. "You already know where he is, T. All you have to do is find the equivalent here." Her brother called out and her eyes flashed, before she was powering on the speed and they were all heading out into the desert.

Except for Barry, who turned back around to find Liliana and Tiana was skidding to a stop just outside the gray Desert Fortress and Trevor stumbled to a stop next to her and nearly fell on his face. "You still can't stop?" Tiana guessed.

"No! I'm just still not used to having my natural speed back." Trevor mumbled under his breath and Tiana was looking around, glancing up at the sky. "You could just yell for him."
