Brainiac's Skull Ship

Harrison Wells, Flash (Flarrow), Green Arrow (Flarrow), Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, Arkham Knight, Superman (Smallville), Injustice Batman, Batman (1989), Superman (1978), Nightwing (Dark Knight), Green Lantern (Ryan Reynolds), the Justice League, Batman from Earth 19 (Gotham By Gaslight), Superman from Earth 30 (Red Son), Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash (Wally West), and Green Lantern (Alan Scott) from Earth 22 (Kingdom Come), Batman and Robin from Earth 38 (1966), and President Superman from Earth 23 were all still on Brainiac's Skull Ship. Brainiac had just escaped and was going to travel back to the beginning of time. Hope was lost for everyone except for the Flash.

"It's impossible, none of us can stop him now." The mastermind, Harrison Wells said.

"There is still hope." The Flash said, "I can catch him."

"How? He has all of your speed." Flash (Flarrow) said.

"He has half of it and Zoom's speed. I need every Speed Force user to give me some of their speed. I am the fastest person here and with their speed I'll be even faster. It's the only way I could catch him now." The Flash said.

"If you run at those speeds you'll die Barry. I won't let that happen." Batman said to his friend.

"In order for the Multiverse to live, one life must be lost. I will be that one life Bruce." The Flash said.

"No, Barry, no!" Superman said, "There has to be another way."

"I won't let someone who's helped us get this far die again. Barry no, if you die, we all do." Harrison Wells said. It shocked everyone.

"If I don't try, everyone who ever lived, who ever will live will die. I'm sorry but I have to do it." The Flash said.

Everyone knew it was true. The Flash (Flarrow), Jay Garrick, and The Flash from Earth 22 walked up to Barry and put their right palm on his chest giving him half of their speed. Barry felt the dose speed flowing through him.

"I'm ready." The Flash said. He walked up to Batman and got a letter out of his shoe, "Bruce give this to Iris West, my wife."

"You have a wife?" Batman asked.

"You're not the only one who could keep secrets." The Flash laughed. These were his final moments and he knew it but he was still able to tell a joke.

"Barry, I-," Batman couldn't finish.

"Bruce, do it. There's a digital safe at my office. The password for it is Showcase4. It'll give you her location." The Flash said, "I'm counting on you to give this to her Bruce."

"I will." Batman said.

"Thank you." The Flash said. He handed Batman the letter.

Green Lantern Hal Jordan opened up a wall barely big enough for The Flash to fit through. The Flash checked his phone one last time and saw that his wife had called him five times. After The Flash put his phone away and got in a running stance and nodded at his friends.

"I'll won't be back in a Flash but I'll be back one day." Barry said. Then he sped off through the hole that closed behind him shortly after.
