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...

Jay smiles. "You'll make it work, Wally."

For the first time since Joan died last week, one of Jay's smiles reaches his eyes. Tears twinkle in his eyes, but never quite break loose.

He and Joan could never have children. But together, they were the parents for the legacy of the Flash.

And today, the final piece of that legacy has been passed on.

"You've always made it work."

Wally sees that in his eyes, and he steps in to embrace the man.

"Thank you, Jay. You and Joan and Barry... you were the best parents a guy could ask for."

Jay embraces him like a father embracing his son one last time.

"I'm so proud of you, Wally. I know the legacy is in safe hands." He holds Wally tightly for a long moment.

Finally, he releases the other man as the timer chimes in the kitchen.

"Come on. Let's see how badly I've burned dinner."

He smiles, laughing... because he knows that he's done. Tonight, when he goes to sleep, he sure that his time will come, and he'll be reunited with Joan again. He has nothing left to accomplish.
