Armageddon, Part 4 (2021)

Tony Curran: Despero

Quotes 

• Cecile Horton : You are no hero. You are a monster.

  Despero : I'm going to ask you one last time, Ms. Horton. And if I don't like your answer, you'll join your friends in the afterlife. Now... the Flash. Where is he?

  Cecile Horton : I told you, I don't know!

  Despero : You know what? I believe you.

  [as he opens his third eye, she begins gasping in pain; he then reacts upon hearing a high-pitched beeping] 

  Despero : Ahh! No, what is this?

  [a wave of energy passes over him as the timeline is restored] 

• Despero : Flash, what did you do?

  Barry Allen : I went to the future. Iris was right. Someone manipulated the timeline to drive me insane. It turns out in order to fix it, I had to start Armageddon. Only this time, I didn't destroy the world.

  Despero : How is that possible?

  Barry Allen : You left 2031 before the world ended. What you didn't know was that Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, was chasing me. He wanted to stop me from restoring the timeline. The speed wake created by us both, that is what caused the destruction you saw.

  Despero : If that's happened, what stopped you from tearing this world apart?

  Barry Allen : Iris. She helped me reconnect to the Speed Force. Now the future's safe.

  Despero : I can see you believe it to be true. And as a traveler in time, my senses confirm this world has been altered. But as for the true reason... well, that remains to be seen.

  Barry Allen : Maybe you should go to 2031 and see for yourself.

  Despero : [activating his belt and growing to his alien size]  I shall, but if you're wrong, or if I find any evidence that this world is still in danger, I will return, and you will die.
