📖 Synopsis
This issue serves as the intense climax of the confrontation between Wally West and Abra Kadabra, forcing Wally to make a desperate choice.
-
The Impossible Choice: Kadabra, the villain who claimed responsibility for casting Wally out of the timeline and erasing the memories of the Titans, gives Wally a terrible ultimatum. Having kidnapped Linda Park (Wally’s love) and set his sights on the rest of the team, Kadabra forces Wally to choose: save the Titans from a catastrophic attack, or save Linda Park from being killed.
-
The Showdown: Wally must use his full speed and cunning to combat Kadabra and his puppet team of evil “Kid Titans,” while simultaneously trying to prevent the bomb that could destroy the rest of his team.
-
The Twist: Kadabra’s plot is revealed to be rooted in his deep professional jealousy of Wally West. However, the dialogue and circumstances continue to hint at an even larger, external force manipulating the timeline—the very mystery at the heart of the entire DC Rebirth initiative. Kadabra alludes to a force that helped him, suggesting he was just a pawn.
-
Resolution and Aftermath: Wally makes his difficult choice, and the confrontation ends with Kadabra seemingly defeated and the immediate threat neutralized. The emotional impact on Wally, who is now fully restored to the present but remains a stranger to Linda, sets the stage for the next phase of the series as he must decide how to proceed.
