Signing In with The Flash! The Secrets of the Speed Force!

Barry Allen's consciousness drifted on an ocean of fear.

He could still think. He could still sense.

He could clearly feel his body running at over Mach 20. Driven by the Speed Force, every muscle and nerve performed beyond its limits.

But he could control none of it.

He was like a ghost locked inside his own body, forced to watch the shell called "Barry Allen" charge forever and in vain through a single picosecond caught in an Infinite Loop.

And the only spectator to this bizarre scene was that man.

Link Gale.

He stood quietly before Barry, his expression a complex blend of curiosity, appreciation, and indifference. He looked like a master mechanic studying an exquisitely built super-engine that had spun out of control.

The arcs that had merely surrounded Barry swelled into a raging sea of thunder! Golden lightning lashed out in every direction, tearing at the frozen dimension of time.

The entire motionless world began to flicker and warp violently, like a television signal on the verge
