Atom however states that he can control his weight, mass and density to alter his strength, proceeding to knock the dinosaur out with a single hit. The two theorize that the unidentifiable dinosaur must be related to the T-Rex.

A couple of hours ago, Barry was visiting the Wahasapi zoo along with Iris West. He felt unsure about taking out Iris to a zoo as a date, but she stated she didn't need to impressed. The two however discover that the zoo is on fire and Iris runs away to cover it, allowing Barry to don his superhero disguise. Flash however suddenly finds himself amidst a stampede and ties up a cowboy after he tries to entangle him in his lasso.

A mystery voice suggests directing the stampeding cattle to the nearby lake and Barry forms a speed barrier to make them go there. This allows Barry to put out the fire in the zoo and the man who advised Flash enlarges himself, revealing that he's Ryan Choi who also goes under the alias Atom. Ryan states that Barry is his hero since he thinks he's a scientist too. Flash confirms it when Ryan asks if he really is one and gets hugged by him.

Chronos however shows up behind Flash and comments he's nauseated at the hug. Flash after threatening him gets a temporal migraine and Chronos states that the timeline has been messed up by him.

Back in the present, the duo has to take down warriors from different eras who have arrived through the chronal rift. Atom tries to talk Flash from going into the rift, but the latter has already made up his mind and travels through it.

Synopsis for "Gorilla Warfare, Part 3: Flash Forward"

This story is reprinted from The Flash (Volume 4) #15.

Patty Spivot has just witnessed the Flash nearly get skewered by Grodd, saved only by the quick actions of a time-travelling ape named Solovar. Further to her surprise, she can see in his battered state that Flash is one and the same with her boyfriend Barry Allen, whom she thought dead. Angrily, Patty turns on Grodd, but she is held back by Turbine.

Strangely, Grodd suddenly stops in his tracks, apparently needing his connection to the Speed Force strengthened somehow. Weakly, he wanders away, giving Patty the chance to see to Barry. After rolling Solovar's body to the side, she sees that Barry is wounded, but not fatally. With his dying breath, Solovar reminds Patty that she has to stay by Barry's side, regardless of the secret she has just learned about him.

Meanwhile, the Gorillas have been projecting an illusion of the Gem Cities as having been destroyed, in order to prevent intervention from the outside world. To power the illusion, though, they have needed to gather thousands of individuals at the Central City football stadium. The Rogues are working together to stop the gorillas from kidnapping anymore of their city's people, with intent to send their attackers to the Mirror World.

At Dr. Elias' lab, Grodd breaks in, seeking more Speed Force Energy.

Elsewhere, Daniel West is captured by gorillas while trying to save some civilians, and worries that he will never see his sister Iris again.

Barry's unconscious body, meanwhile, has been taken to the home of his friend Manuel Lago's mother Malaya to recover. Patty has stayed with him the whole time, resting her head on his chest, and speaking to him in hushed tones. Darryl Frye visits to say goodbye to Barry before arranging a strike force of any police available to face the gorillas down. He begs Barry to wake up and give him a hand. Turbine promises his own help, in Barry's stead.

Barry, meanwhile, travels an unfamiliar dreamspace, realizing that he is not dreaming, but rather using his ability to think at super-speed to flash forward, and anticipate the possible outcome of every choice he could make in facing Grodd. After playing out each scenario where he fights Grodd, he realizes that each one ends with Patty being killed or injured. Waking suddenly, Barry realizes that he cares too much about Patty to let that happen, and must give himself up to Grodd freely. It is the only way.
