You aren't fast enough, Flash... not for what's coming. Not for the chaos... or the Fraction...
- — Klarion
The Flash #786 is an issue of the series The Flash (Volume 1) with a cover date of November, 2022. It was published on September 20, 2022.
Synopsis for "High-Speed Alert"
The superheroes split up to contain the waves of supervillain attacks with the Flash Family, including Linda and the twins, acting as a rapid response to any crises the other heroes cannot reach in time. Despite their best efforts, there is a mass breakout from Iron Heights, and all the prisoners escape before even the Flashes can respond.
The Wests and the JSA respond to an outbreak of zombies at a forgotten Nazi island base. The zombies have been animated by Klarion the Witch-Boy, who taunts Wally and tells him that "The Fraction" are coming to his world. Wally contains Klarion with some mystic sigils and the heroes escape. He pretends that Klarion's words didn't bother him, but he is secretly afraid of what is coming.

Notes
- The Secret Society members are not possessed by the Great Darkness which implies that these events take place before the epilogue of Dark Crisis #3.
- The story is continued in Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #5.
- Klarion's story chronologically continues in Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 where he was part of the séance in the Dark Quarters.
- Similar to the Justice Society Dark in Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #4, this issue marks the second time Judy Garrick is mentioned on Earth 0 in any comic story.
- However, Jay Garrick seems to not completely remember her daughter suggesting that the new timeline has not yet stabilized.
- Klarion the Witch Boy mentions problems in the Hypertime which implies that the major changes to the timeline from Flashpoint Beyond #6 are still being rewritten into the continuity.
