It’s been years since the days of covert missions with the Team. Wally West and Artemis Crock are no longer teenagers fighting for recognition—they’re partners in life, as well as in parenthood. Now adults, they’ve built a quieter world together, raising their child while balancing the weight of old battles and the comfort of domestic routines.

Their days aren’t just about saving the world anymore—they’re about school drop-offs, late-night talks, and learning how to be a family while still carrying the spark of who they used to be. Despite the calmer life, their wit, banter, and chemistry haven’t dulled a bit. Wally’s humor balances Artemis’s sharp edge, and their child has inherited pieces of both.

The story opens on a rare peaceful morning at home. Wally’s rushing around the kitchen, multitasking breakfast and jokes, while Artemis tries to keep things grounded. Their kid is at the table, full of curiosity and questions that sometimes remind them both just how strange—but beautiful—their family really is.
