"So, you're leaving? You won't need that anymore?"
Miao Mu sat on the couch, wiping the revolver in his hand as he looked at Barry in surprise.
Barry had already changed into The Flash's uniform. The small golden lightning bolt emblems beside his ears gave off faint electric arcs.
"I didn't expect it either." Barry shook his head and said speculatively, "I think the timeline repaired itself. It's like this time discovered someone who wasn't supposed to exist—me—and is rejecting me."
"Look." Barry raised an arm and vibrated rapidly. The cloud of air that should have become a red whirlwind looked strangely illusory, and even Barry's arm turned transparent.

Barry vanished in an instant. Miao Mu hurriedly rose to his feet, but Barry reappeared moments later, holding a sketchbook and giving a simple explanation.
"It should be that this world's me has begun his career as The Flash, and my appearance caused this timeline to overlap." Barry drew The Flash's symbol in the sketchbook.
"No, that stuff isn't important. When are you leaving?" Miao Mu tossed the gun onto the table and pulled out his phone to check it.
"If there's time, how about I treat you to a meal?" Miao Mu looked up at Barry and tested the waters.
"No need. I'll be going back soon. Even though I don't have much Speed Force right now, with the world rejecting me, I can still cross the timeline. I'll let the you from ten years later know." Barry raised an eyebrow.
