After an intense battle, Barry was dragging himself towards the Book of Destiny. Before he could reach it, it was picked up by the Monitor first. When Barry asked why he was doing this, the figure said that he had done it to himself, and now he would perish. He then opened the book while the speedster ran off to parts unknown.

Just then, the Monitor appeared on the news, and Barry went to confront him along with Flash, Green Arrow and Supergirl. Barry attempted to attack but was removed by the Monitor, making his current whereabouts unknown.
