Jay Garrick - Legacy - P. A. Nolte


1/ The Crimson Comet, Jay Garrick, is speeding after The Fiddler's custom violin-shaped car.  A henchman in a full black bodysuit with a white note on the face is driving.  Another in a matching suit, albeit with a different face note, is clutching a misshapen bag in one hand, trying to keep it inside the vehicle, and what looks to be a Grammy in the other.

Jay Garrick (cap): When I first became The Flash, I was terrified.  Imagining all my shortcomings catching up to me.  What might happen when they did.

2/ In the parking lot of a nuclear power plant, Alan Scott and Hawkman fly high into the air, hurling a bolt of green energy and nth-metal mace respectively at the Ultra-Humanite, who is standing on the hood of a car.  In one hand, he has Ted Grant, the Wildcat, who is desperately trying to claw his way free.  In his other is the limp body of an unconscious Dr. Fate.  Running around from the back of the car and getting as close to Ultra-Humanite as he can while still avoiding the enormous albino gorilla's reach is Jay Garrick.

Jay Garrick (cap): When we formed the JSA, I was terrified.  It was bigger than stopping muggings and robberies.  Were we toying with powers we shouldn't have?

Ultra-Humanite: TOO LATE, YOU ILLITERATE FOOLS!  ONLY I COULD DEVISE A WAY TO SUPERCEDE DRAMATIC IRONY!  NOW I HAVE BECOME PHYSICALLY AND LITERALLY UNSTOPPABLE!

3/ Impulse, Wally West, Barry Allen, and Jay Garrick all braced against starting blocks on a race track.  Mostly profiles.

Jay Garrick (cap): But looking back, I think what terrified me the most is what came the most natural to me.  Truthfully, it became my greatest adventure.

Jesse Quick (OP): Oh, boys...  Do you four really have to do this right now?

Jay Garrick (cap): Who would have thought?  Jay Garrick--

4/ A stadium.  Professional, collegiate, high school.  Doesn't matter.  What draws attention is the collection of speedsters and other heroes that have gathered.  Max Mercury, Liberty Belle, XS, and more.  Even a few villains like Cobalt Blue and Inertia.  In front, holding up a football, is Jesse Quick.  Everyone, including the four men who were just about to take off in yet another race to prove who among them is the fastest, are wearing flag football belts in addition to their usual costumes.

Jesse Quick: We have a game to play.

Jay Garrick (cap): A family man.
