The Flash is on the job - pondering a vacation from said job.

He's feeling a bit burned out lately, but he has no idea what he'd do if he took time off.

He's heard a few reports about some funky orb going around, so he's trying to find it and corral it for study.

He comes across it sooner than he expected, and he's not quite ready for what it's going to show him...

The entity blinks. "If I chose to break the rules, destroying you would be just as easy as granting your wish."

"Employ? What, like I can't pay for my dinner, so I've gotta wash dishes until I can afford to go home? This isn't fair! What does this guy do, sell time-shares on Apokolips?"

"Now aren't you interfering by even telling me about this guy? Why can't you just go 'oogedy boogedy' and put me back where I belong so you can keep watching me?"

He REALLY doesn't want to do this... especially if he doesn't even have power in this world anymore.

"I'm afraid not, mortal. Now... begone!"

And the big-headed man vanishes.
