The Flash: Rebirth #[nn]

Barry Allen slips away from the fanfare surrounding his return, choosing instead to reconnect with the quiet moments he’s missed—like a late-night chat with Iris, a walk through Central City with Jai, or even just sitting with Ma Hunkel, who still remembers the boy who used to stop by with a smile. As he steps back into the rhythm of the world he left behind, the past begins to echo in ways he didn’t expect.

In "Mother, May I," Barry Allen confronts the painful legacy of his past when Professor Zoom claims responsibility for the tragedy that shaped him—Nora Allen’s death. With Jai West’s powers spiraling out of control, his sister Irey makes a desperate choice that transforms her into the new Impulse, stepping into a role that echoes her mother’s history and her own uncertain future.
