Spoiler.

We start at the theater, which Barry and Iris apparently love going to, or at least Iris does.

Probably makes Barry go all the time, probably makes him pay for it too, where they've been

seeing a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

This is at the Central City Civic Center, you know, the one place you can get to Earth, too.

It doesn't factor in, though, quite yet.

One of the women in the production of the play is a friend of irises, so they're going backstage to meet her, everything's going on. Well, Barry was really impressed by the man that was playing Merlin the magician. He's introduced to the man who goes by the name of John Cardine. Barry tells him how impressed he was, and all of a sudden he hears a voice yelling,

I'm happy to see you hear Flash, but don't worry.

I won't tell the world you're Barry Allen.

Not yet.

Which, of course, freaks Barry out.

He hears this voice.

He's looking around the room,

expecting everyone else to be looking at him.

It's not.
