Synopsis for "Issue Twelve: Until Time Stands Still"
When Wally crosses through the Source Wall, the Crown of Thawnes leaves his body and shoots towards the Source to destroy the "Deep Change", while the Arc Angles look on. Wally, mentally and emotionally broken, floats unmoving just behind the Source Wall.
On Earth, Jai and Irey are both suddenly able to sense Wally again in the Speed Force, at the "highest vibration" on the edge of reality. Max Mercury is able to guide the others to ascend to the highest level and they all disappear in a blast of lighting; leaving Iris, Wade and Inspector Pilgrim. Pilgrim hands his younger self to Iris and leaves through a portal, telling Iris to check on Linda. Iris goes into the women's bathroom and finds Linda staring vacantly into space.
At the Source Wall, Jai appears next to the comatose Wally and tries to rouse him. Wally is not responsive but the Resident, who Jai recognises as Linda appears as well. She tells Jai that she can reach Wally and to go and help the others. Jai teleports away and Linda tells Wally that Abra Kadabra's psychic flayer allowed him to strip away her love for Wally, but it coalesced to form the Resident and found him in the Gallery. She kisses him and awareness returns to Wally. He sees the rest of the Flash Family battling the Arc Angles at the Source Wall and is re-energised as he feels the Flash Family's restored emotional bonds.
Wally yells that they need to stop the Crown, but his energy is depleted and he crumples with exhaustion. The Rogues, who Irey shot up with the speed drug, rush in and attack the Arc Angles. The Flash Family take advantage of the distraction to transfer their energy to Wally, disappearing back to Earth 0 as their molecular vibration drops to a lower frequency. The Crown manages to pass into the source and time itself slows to a standstill as the "Deep Change" is poisoned. Wally and Barry dive into the Source after the Crown and find where it has burrowed in. Wally takes out the D-Brane and together they cut the Crown out.
