Something is very, very wrong...
That was the first thought of Wally West after he woke up, face down in something that was green and smelled like earth and a little bit like grass, hay and blooming flowers.
After he sat up he saw that he sat on a wide hayfield, blooming flowers and green weed around him. A mellow wind was blowing, the sky was deep blue, a few white clouds here and there and the sun was pleasant warm. He could hear some birds singing in the distant but other than that it was quiet and peaceful. In short: It was a beautiful day. And he had no idea how he ended up here. Or what happened before he woke up.
"Uh..."
The sound of a voice startled him. A black-haired woman sat up beside him and hold her head.
"What happened?", she asked but Wally couldn't answer.
"... Linda?"
"Wally?"
Yes. Linda. His wife. The woman he loved. She was here! She was really, really here! Without thinking he had her in a hug, smelled her perfume and the smell of her hair, felt her soft skin against his. He had this feeling... this feeling of loss, as if she had disappeared at some point and now he had her back. But... that wasn't right, was it? He never lost her, so why did he have this feeling?
"Hey... is everything alright?", she asked, her voice more like a whisper than anything.
"I... don't know.", said Wally. Were these tears in his eyes? Why was everything so blurry? He was so happy, why did he have the feeling like he should cry? "But.. you're here. So it's gonna be alright. I promise."
"Wally? Where... where are our kids?"
"Kids... Our children!"
He remembered. His children. Jay and Iris. Where are they? They couldn't... They have to be somewhere! They couldn't have disappeared! They couldn't be... away! They have to be here!
Oh please, please, please, please don't take my kids away, not my children, please, no...
"Jay? Irey?", he shouted, looking around, zipping around, searching. "Please... where are you? Please... come out!"
"Dad...?"
A tiny voice was heard and Wallys heart nearly stopped. There was a head coming up between blooming poppy and bellflowers. And then an other.
"Jay! Iris!"
And his children (His wonderful, wonderful children! They were here, they are real, they wouldn't go away) looked at him and then everything was a blur of flower petals and happy laughter and his children and his wife. They are all here. They are all save. Whatever that... vision was, a vision of a world without his family, without him, was just a bad dream, a nightmare. They hadn't vanished. They were here and together. Nothing is going to happen to them, nothing would take them away.
"I'm so happy...", said Wally. "So happy you are all here."
"Not gonna get rid of us easily.", whispered Linda. "We Wests stick together."
"So true."
"And now?"
"Now we gonna figure out where the hell we are... and what we gonna do. But we'll do that together, okay? You all stay with me."
Linda smiled. "Okay, honey.", she said. "Okay..."
Yes... okay. It's going to be okay. Wally would make sure of that.
