"How long has it been since then?" Said a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, he had

black hair and blue ocean eyes. This was Carlton Ōtsutsuki.

"How many days, months, or years have I been drifting in the empty void." He said with a faraway look as he gazed at the white abyss around him.

He couldn't remember when it happened but it was still clear as what is used today to him. The empty void that floated through once was his universe, he lived on a world known as Earth in a village called The Hidden Leaf Village. It was one of the five great nations of his world but it came to a tragic end when two madmen Madara Uchiha and Okora from destroyed it for the sake of what they called "true peace." The Shinobi alliance of all five nations combined forces to try and stop the two but in the end, the alliance was not enough.

Carlton and his friends Naruto and Sasuke tried to take them down but as a last-ditch effort they combined their powers into a attack so powerful that it started wrapped the universe apart, Carlton tried to use his power to stop the blast but it instead sucked all the power the Madara and Okora had into Carlton and protected him from being destroyed while he had to watch in horror as all his friend and comrades were erased from existence and since then he has been floating in the void.

"I've trained all every waking moment to pass the time but I need to find a way out of this place before I lose my mind even more then I have!" Said Carlton in frustration and as if the universe had heard him a loud crack and a burst of light appeared in appeared in front of Carlton making him.

"What the hell!" Said Carlton covering his eyes from the light as he heard a voice calling out him.

"Help! Please someone, anyone help me!" Hearing the voice Carlton forced himself to look through the light before his eyes widened when he saw a man if he had to guess the same age as him, he had spiky red hair, and green eyes. He had a lean yet slightly muscular build.

He wore suit that was yellow with red pants, red gloves, and yellow shoes, with a symbol of a red lightning bolt within a white circle on his chest.

Carlton was surprised to see this man appear out of nowhere but what caught his attention was that the crack that brought him into the void was trying to pull him back however he was forcing himself with all his strength to not be sucked back into it.

"Please help me!" Said the man in yellow stretching his hand out to Carlton who was taken back by this.

"I don't know who this guy is but I can't leave him like this..." Carlton thought for a moment before grunting, "Screw it!" He grabbed the man's hand trying to pull him out but before he could the both of them were sucked into crack and out of the void.

...

-Speed Force-

Carlton felt like his body was being torn apart atom by atom it was more painful then anything he had ever felt before. When he tried saving the man in the yellow suit, he was sucked into the crack along with him into what he could describe as an infinite space made from different colored lightning swirling like a hurricane with him in the center.

"What's going on!" Carlton grunted in eminence pain until he was suddenly struck by a silver lightning bolt in the center of his chest making him scream out as he felt like he was being fried from the inside out.

Just then he was suddenly grabbed by the man in yellow who had a apologetic look on his face but Carlton could didn't pay much attention as he was still in pain from the lightning bolt.

"I'm sorry, I brought you here. It's my fault you're in pain. Please hold on. I'll try and get us out of here!" He said grabbing hold of Carlton as he and Carlton's bodies began to vibrate at unimaginable speeds, They let a scream out as they disappeared in a burst of light.

...

-Central City-

A blazing fire could be seen consuming a apartment building as Fire Fighters tried battling the raging inferno, however, the fire was not letting up no matter how much the officials tried.

But what the crowd that gather the most were considered about most was that there were Children still in the building and they were about to give up hope a streak of yellow lightning zoomed into the burning building at incredible speeds and in a few seconds later it appeared again exiting before coming to a stop in front of the fire trucks and ambulance to show an man wearing a red and gold suit with golden accents and gold lightning bolt on his chest, this was The Flash the protector of Central City and The Fastest Man alive.

He stops as he always does, examining them between the ticks of a second, to see if anyone needs a trip to the E.R. He looks over to see one of the kids are hungry before he dashes off for a moment then reappears with boxes of pizzas in hand. He even tipped the restaurant owner by renovating their kitchen.

He left the scene in a burr of red and yellow lighting along with smile on his face as he watched the kids eating the pizza happily.

Barry was dashing through Central City Park until he was suddenly blasted of balance by a yellow light and voice that called his name.

"Barry." Said the man in yellow as gazed at The Flash, "You don't know who I am..." The redhead just gave a weak smile as light slowly started tearing him apart.

"...And you won't remember, so this is a hello and a goodbye."

Barry was about to speak but was stopped by the man in the light. "Before I say anything else, you need to go to Batman. Ask him about the letter from his father."

"Tell h-him that there is something wrong with history. Someone has infected it and you all forgot things...like me." He said a tear traveled down his face.

"Who are you?" Asked Barry but the man only screamed in pain before looking at the scarlet speedster.

"Barry..." He said weakly, as he started to fading away more and more.

"Thank you for an amazing life, for your inspiration, for being there for me so many times. For now, the last time."

"I don't understand..." Barry said trying to comprehend what was going on.

"I hope one day you will..." He said as he gave a big smile with tears running down his face, "You were right, Barry...every second was a gift." he said as he was about to be ripped away for good this time..."

Barry at that moment was hit by something he couldn't believe he had forgotten, "Wally?!" He said as he grabbed Wally's arm and started pulling with everything he had but it still wasn't enough but before Wally was sent back into the Speed Force for inside the light he was pushed out by Carlton who had been trying to get himself from being stuck in there.

"I'm...I'm back?" Said, Wally before turning to Barry with wide eyes that he was now free but he then realized something, "You said my name. You brought me back."

Barry looked at Wally with the look of anguish on his face as tears flooded for his eyes, before he dropped to his knees putting his head into hands.

"My God..." Barry said until Wally came up to him and held out a hand from he immediately grabbed it and pulled each other into a hug, "How could I ever forget you?!"

"I remember it all now..." Barry said as all his memories before flashpoint came back, "You're Iris's nephew, you came to visit, you were struck by a lightning bolt and became Kid Flash. You worked with me and one day...one you disappeared fighting alongside the Teen Titans. There was a Teen Titans, years ago."

"Yes, there was." Said Wally, "I had a different life before the Flashpoint changed it all. I disappear with the Teen Titans, I...It's getting harder to remember. I had more of a life, we all did."

"Barry it wasn't just me that was forgotten. There were others, there were friendships. Relationships." Said Wally as Barry turned to Carlton who had been standing silently not wanting to get in-between the reunion.

"Is he also the one of those that disappeared?" Asked Barry.

"I don't think so when I was stuck in the Speed Force trying get a way out he appeared in what looked like a white void and the only thing that was there was him. He tried to pull me out but we both were forced back into the Speed Force before I came to you." Explained Wally.

Barry walked up to Carlton and stretched out his hand, "I'm Barry Allen aka the Flash nice to meet you." He greeted.

"It's a pleasure, names Carlton Ōtsutsuki and I would just like to say to your friend, Wally, thanks for getting out of that abyss." He said receiving a nod for the yellow speedster.

"Are you sure this wasn't my fault, Wally?" Barry turned back to Wally who just turned to the stormy sky.

"It wasn't you Barry, it was something else...someone else."
