Phantoms

"With all of that sorrow that I felt coming out of that thing, I also felt other emotions: determination, passion, desire. It's almost like whatever that thing is, it's got a mind of its own. So we're not looking for a separate fire meta? No. The will to seek out victims to kill, need to satisfy its hunger at all costs... The flames have a survival instinct. Which means the flames aren't being used by the killer. They are the killer. Because they're alive."

- Cecile Horton, Frost, Barry Allen, Joe West and Chester P. Runk
