Three Years After Endgame
16 Miles North of the Arctic Circle

Dr. Jackson Hyde, Professor of Climatology at Ivy College, takes out a drill from his F-150.

As the drill starts to pierce the millennia old ice, the professor sings along to a very suitable song by the band Foreigner.

Your as cold as ice
Your willing to sacrifice our love...

After three repeats and two ice cores, the aging climatologist presses replay once more, and starts to take a third sample from the acient ice sheet.

Halfway through the drill's cycle, something miraculous happens.

A bolt of yellow lightening strikes right in front of the climatologist. He is thrown several feet and lands on his back. As he looks up, he sees something impossible.

Well, not some thing but some one.

Inside the lightening bolt is the figure of a young man clad in a yellow and red costume. There is a lightening bolt on his chest. He is suspended a few feet off the ground, and cries out in pain. He cries for help.

The scientist, in a state of shock, just stares at him. He has no idea what to do. He just sits there and watches the fallen speedster scream out in pain.

Suddenly, just as mysteriously as he appeared, the speedster vanishes. In a blinding flash of yellow light and a clap of thunder almost loud enough to cleave the glacier in two, the yellow speedster disappears. Vanishing back into the void in the unkown that he came from.

After a few brief seconds, Dr. Hyde recomposes himself. He then rushes to his truck and pulls out his government issued satellite phone. He calls the man that is funding his expedition.

He calls Joseph Graves.
