carrying—fraternal twins—were healthy and on track to deliver normally in thirty-three weeks.

Barry’s last legacy. His children.

The sun broke through the clouds. Morning dawned and she thought again, as she so often did, of the newspaper in the Time Vault, of the headline that had once caused dread and despair but that now—through the vagaries of paradox—gave her hope.

FLASH REAPPEARS DURING CRISIS! the headline now proclaimed.

She sketched another lightning bolt next to the one she’d already drawn in the dew. Twin bolts. In the first glorious bright light of a new day, it occurred to her: Dawn, she thought, would be the perfect name for Barry’s daughter.

Yes. Dawn.

And the boy?

Well, she’d think of something.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Hello, dear reader! We’ve made it to the End of All Time and back together, and I am so grateful that you took this trip with me.

I offer my gratitude to the folks at Warner Bros. and The CW who made this madcap story possible, especially Carl Ogawa, Amy Weingartner, Victoria Selover, and Josh Anderson, but also to Greg Berlanti, Todd Helbing, Sarah Schechter, Lindsay Kiesel, Janice Aquilar-Herrero, Catherine Shin, Thomas Zellers, and Kristin Chin. I asked for the moon and the stars, and they said, “Why think so small?”

A big thanks is also due to Russ Busse, my editor, who absorbed the craziness with aplomb and who got me to change my original ending without even asking me to. Your Jedi mind tricks are strong, Russ . . .

And thanks, too, to the rest of the hardworking crew at Abrams—including but not limited to Andrew Smith, Kara Sargent, Jody Mosley, Maggie Lehrman, Chad Beckerman, Evangelos Vasilakis, Marie Oishi, John Passaineau, Alison Gervais, Melanie Chang, Maya Bradford, Kim Lauber, Trish McNamara O’Neil, Brooke Shearouse, Borana Greku, and Liz Fithian.

My thanks as well to Shawn M. Moll, who saw us through to the end with an amazing cover.

Lastly, I would run the length of the universe for my wife and kids. You are my lightning and chemicals.
