When the trio arrived to Wally's parents Wally broke down crying at the sight of seeing the house he grew up in and thought he would never see again. Artemis seeing that they were on the sidewalk right in front of the West home told Rip Hunter to go ahead and knock on the door, so that she could have time to soothe Wally. She hugged Wally and tried to pick him up but he wouldn't budge. Although Artemis thought this was cute she expected him to have the emotional breakdown once he saw his parents, but he had been very fond of his childhood something Artemis wished she had shared.

Rip Hunter was a bit nervous when he approached the front door, which was odd considering everything he had done, but then again he was about to the parents of his best friend Eobard Thawne's idol. He knocked three times on the door the first two times no one came to the door, but the door three times on the first two tries nobody responded, but on the third knock an annoyed Mr. West came to the door and was about to chew off Rip Hunter's ear, when Rip Hunter sidestepped to the left and pointed to Wally. At first Mr. West thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but when Wally said "Dad" he knew that his eyes were playing no tricks on him and started crying and said "Mary come look who is at the door." Mary came to the door a bit perplexed as to why Rudolf was crying but when once she saw Wally she understood why he was crying. Once the West's were at the door crying Artemis was able to get Wally on his feet and onto the porch, where Wally, Artemis, and his parents hugged and cried for several minutes. This moment was interrupted when Mary asked " Wally where you, and how did you get back?"

" He was in the future and I brought him back." Rip Hunter responded proudly.

" Who exactly are you." Mary asked.

" Rip Hunter and oh I'm from the future." Rip Hunter said.

"Like Bart," said Iris who had just arrived along with Barry to the West household.

"Yes like your grandson although my vehicle for travel is more accurate and works multiple times unlike his, but still time travel is an extraordinary feat." Rip Hunter said.

" I would love to feed you all as I know you must be starving speedsters especially, but since we weren't expecting guests I don't have enough food prepared. " Mary said.

" We could go out to eat if it would be easier on you Mary." Artemis said.

"I that is an awesome idea haven't had a pizza in like what six months." Wally said cheerfully.

" Agreed. " Barry said.

They left five minutes later after Mary had gotten her purse and locked the door. Once they arrived they were quickly seated at a table as Barry and Wally had been frequent customers so had a permanent reservation for post mission meals. The group sat down ordered food and wine and started talking about life, which Rip Hunter found interesting as his family as a child had talked about his older siblings political careers and his father's work in time travel. He left about fifteen minutes in for what he claimed was to go to the bathroom but in reality was something much more devious.

He left the restaurant discreetly and walked across the street to STAR Labs Central City, where Professor Stein was working on a Nuclear fusion reactor based upon Reach technology, named Project Firestorm, and Ronnie Raymond was working as an intern. Rip Hunter entered the main lobby, walked up to the interactive display and plugged in a flash drive like device, which would trigger a chain reaction, once Ronnie in Stein were alone in the reactor room, that would result in a small meltdown. He then unplugged the drive casually walked out of the building, sent a message to Ronnie to lure him to the reactor room with Stein, and walked back to the restaurant.

" Hey what took you so long?" Artemis asked in a suspicious tone.

" Ah well you see in the future water is conserved massively, so I spent some time inspecting the bathroom to notice all of the differences between them and to calculate how much water is wasted." Rip Hunter said.

" That sounds a bit strange to do but then again I'm not from the future." Artemis said.

They continued their conversation up until they heard alarms blaring, so they got and like the rest of the patrons and staff went outside to see what it was. Once he saw the smoke emanating from STAR Labs Barry casually snuck off donned his suit and headed off to STAR Labs. When he arrived there he discovered that the source of the Explosion headed been from the reactor room which been sealed off. Barry was about to phase through the wall and hope that he might be fast enough to not absorb any large amounts of radiation, when the alarm ceased and the blast doors began to open, and he saw sole the body of someone who looked like they were in their early twenties and late teens.
