No more Reach, mission successful.... right? Realization slapped Bart in the face, his perfect facade of a chipper-speedster-tourist tearing at its seams. He hadn't allowed himself to think that far ahead. He hadn't allowed false hope to motivate him, but now they had won, yet at what cost? He was stranded in the past with the trauma of a future no-one would ever come to understand. And despite the rule he set of no emotional attachments the consequences of his indirect involvement with Wally's death -something that wasn't meant to happen yet- hit him harder then he would ever admit. Nevertheless, he stood still; soaking it all in as he donned the signature red and yellow suit. He would became the replacement nobody wanted and he would do so wearing the smile he had rehearsed.
