Negative, Part Two (2022)

Candice Patton: Iris West-Allen

Quotes 

• Iris West-Allen : Barry. You know the Negative Speed Force will need to find a new avatar.

  Barry Allen : I know. 'Cause the universe is all about balance... Which means that one day, the Negative Forces will have to pick one.

  Iris West-Allen : I wonder who they'll choose.

  Barry Allen : We won't know until it happens. But whenever that day comes, and whoever that avatar is... We'll be ready for them.

• Damien Darhk : So let me guess - the last thing you remember is figuring out the Negative Forces used your time sickness to rebirth a new avatar.

  Iris West-Allen : Yes, but if I had this time sickness for months, then...

  Damien Darhk : Why now? The Negative Forces used your body as a incubator. And yes, it's a dastardly scheme. Reminds me of my bad ol' days.

• Damien Darhk : Hello, Iris.

  Iris West-Allen : Damien? If you're here, does that mean I'm dead too?

  Damien Darhk : No, it doesn't. What happened to you is far more interesting than that. We have a lot to discuss.

• Iris West-Allen : You said I had unfinished business. What is it? It's Barry, isn't it? Where is he? What's happening?

  Damien Darhk : If you wanna find out, you have to get out of here yourself.

  Iris West-Allen : How? Damn it.

  Damien Darhk : Oh, come on, Iris. Look at your life. Look at everything that has happened to you since Barry went into that coma. You were destined to die, held captive in another dimension. Hell, you faces certain death over and over again, and every time, you should've died, only you didn't. Why?

  Iris West-Allen : Because I always had help? I...

  Damien Darhk : [imitates buzzer]  Thanks for playing! Wrong answer! Come on. It's right in front of you. You're a survivor. You always will be.

  Iris West-Allen : I haven't reached my limit.

  Damien Darhk : No, you haven't.

  Iris West-Allen : But what about the spark between Barry and I?

  Damien Darhk : Well... Just because you can't feel it, doesn't mean it isn't there. So what are you gonna do now, spend the rest of eternity hangin' out with Damien Darhk?

  Iris West-Allen : No.

  Damien Darhk : That-a girl.

  Iris West-Allen : I'm gonna reignite it.

  Damien Darhk : Say hi to your old man for me.

• Iris West-Allen : Barry, you have to stop.

  The Flash : No, I have to finish this.

  Iris West-Allen : No, Barry, listen to me. The city can't take anymore fighting.

  The Flash : That's why I have to end this.

  Iris West-Allen : You can't.

  Reverse-Flash : She's right. We'll never stop until one of us is dead. Time to tip the scales.

• Barry Allen : How are you feeling?

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : Like there is so much I don't know. But more importantly, the B.L.O.C. is no longer working. It was never my idea, was it?

  Barry Allen : No, it wasn't. The Negative Speed Force used the machine to pick its avatars. You were a means to an end.

  Iris West-Allen : I'm sorry you lost your speed.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : Don't be. It was never my dream to be a speedster.

  Iris West-Allen : I know I never got to meet him, but... Eobard seems like a very special person.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : He was.

  Iris West-Allen : [giving her his yellow tie]  I wanted to give you this.

  Barry Allen : We found it at STAR Labs.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : Thank you. For everything.

• Joan Williams : Barry, your Force particles are gone. And as for you, Iris, there's no sign of your time sickness anywhere. You're completely cured.

  Nora West-Allen : And Gideon says there's no Thawne anywhere in the timeline.

  Iris West-Allen : Then it's really over, all of it.

  Barry Allen : Bart, Nora, about the way I behaved today...

  Bart Allen : Uh-uh. No, not after all of the things that you have helped us with.

  Nora West-Allen : Yeah, he's right, Dad. At the end of the day, all that matters is you did the right thing.

  Jay Garrick : And on that note, I think we should all go back to our lives in 2049.

  [shaking hands with Barry] 

  Jay Garrick : Great work today, Flash, as always.

• Iris West-Allen : If I'm alive, then... where am I?

  Damien Darhk : You're here inside my Time Stone.

  Iris West-Allen : The talisman that you and Barry used to wipe out anachronisms during Armageddon. I can't feel my connection to Barry anymore, and if it's the same for him, then, Damien, I have to get out of here and I need your help, even if you're...

  Damien Darhk : A remnant of my old consciousness imprinted on a stone, bearing witness to all timelines for eternity.

  [sarcastic] 

  Damien Darhk : Wahoo.

  Iris West-Allen : Are you saying that I'm stuck here forever, too?

  Damien Darhk : Oh, no, no, no. No, that's up to you. See, unlike me, you aren't supposed to be dead, which is why the moment that the Negative Forces annihilated your body, the stone spared you. It senses that you still have something important to do. The question is, are you up to it?

• Barry Allen : [cuddling with Iris]  I never wanna let you go.

  Iris West-Allen : Then don't. I mean, I could stay like this all week.

  Barry Allen : That works for me. Iris, last night, I thought I lost you forever, 'cause I couldn't feel our connection.

  Iris West-Allen : Yeah, when I was in the Time Stone, I couldn't feel you, either. That's why I knew I had to get back to you. So I reignited our spark.

  Barry Allen : How?

  Iris West-Allen : You're my lightning rod, too.

  Barry Allen : Thank you.

  Iris West-Allen : Seriously? I mean, I know I've been gone for a while, but...

  Barry Allen : For reminding me that even the Flash has limits. Thawne couldn't accept that about himself, which is why he didn't survive.
