"Barry Allen, we forgive you. You did the right thing. You saved our universe. You never could have foreseen what that cost. You only have a few steps left before we're gone from you entirely, but I know you will use them well. The lightning chose you, and it was the best decision that we... I ever made. You showed us the greatest force of all. I love you. I love you. I love you, my beautiful, beautiful boy."
