“ | Flash, on behalf of this whole department, I wanted to thank you. We couldn't have stopped Goldface without you. Hey, if it wasn't for your smart thinking, a lot of people would have been seriously hurt. So from now on, if you need me, you can call me on this. If we're gonna keep this city safe, we need to do it together. Which is why I wanna share something else with you. My true identity. Allen, I know it's you. |
