Wally West is now the savior of three cities, depending on how you count: Central, Keystone, and Metropolis. And for once, it’s going great! In fact, it’s going better than great, because Wally’s Flashes of Insight are now letting him see even further into the future, so he can stop accidents (and crimes!) well before they happen — including a simultaneous attack on three bridges in three cities! But there are some forces that really don’t like what Wally is up to — and they intend to stop him whether Wally likes it or not.
