“	I'm not trying to be cruel, but the truth is, your legacy isn't heroism. It's heartbreak. You know what people like you will never understand? Love is a strength, not a liability. The heartbreak that I've suffered? The people I've lost? They don't hold me back. They make me fight that much harder, and I'm gonna fight for Iris. Then why didn't you fight for me? Why did you stand by while Thawne stabbed me in the gut? Thawne didn't kill you! He killed my mom. And as much as it hurt, I have accepted her death. And what about the rest of them? Have you accepted all their deaths too?	”
— "Nora Allen" and Barry Allen^[src]

Death Revisited, also known as The Blackfire Hauntings,^[1] is a story arc of the eighth season of The Flash.

Synopsis[edit | hide | hide all]

Barry Allen lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. But his life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry... bestowing him with superspeed and making him the fastest man alive — The Flash. After stopping the Godspeed War last season, it's six months later and Barry and Iris West-Allen are now at the top of their game—both in their careers as superhero and reporter and as a devoted couple. But when the powerful alien Despero unleashes near annihilation on Central City, The Flash and his team—Caitlin Snow/Frost, Meta-Empath Cecile Horton, the light-powered meta Allegra Garcia, brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk and retired detective Joe West—must once again defy impossible odds to save the day. But their victory is short-lived as two new threats rise from the ashes of "Armageddon," one of which will unleash unforeseen horrors into the lives of Barry and his teammates... and change Team Flash forever.^[2]
