Plot Summary: The 3rd Stop is taken Raven to see the original Speedster; Barry Allen.
"Hmph...So I've been brought to the Twin cities of Keystone and Central. What could I possible need to do here?" Raven asked his ring after he took a moment to readjust his eyes after the jump from Coast City to the bridge connection the Twin Cities. "Once a Flash was apart of your tribe, but the one that you seek is his mentor," the ring replied back. "The Flash's mentor? Isn't he...?" Raven started to ask, but was immediately cut off by the ring, "No, his body was brought back from what they call the speed force. He is the one who will explain enlighten you further." With that Raven was teleported once again to the back yard of Barry Allen's home.
"Hello? How may I help you?" came the voice of Barry Allen from behind the native American man that had appeared out of nowhere. "Hello, my name is Manitou Raven. I know who you are and would like to talk to you about your past so that I may understand my future," he was quick to put his hands up to show he intended no harm on the man or his home. "You are Wally's friend correct?" Barry inquired some more, having heard from Wally not too long ago that another white lantern walked among them, he was not all that surprised to see the man. Though Barry was surprised he had came to see him or Wally. "Yes, we used to be in the same tribe before my death," Raven replied honestly. "A friend of Wally's is a friend of mine," Barry greeted the man with a smile as best he could, though the saying was just a formality at this point, he knew the white lantern ring did what it wanted when it wanted. All would be explained in time.
So with a sprint to Raven's side Barry gave the man a gentle nudge toward his home. "Thank you for welcoming me into your home," Raven said once they were inside standing in Barry's living room, out of the sight of the neighbors. "It's alright, I did not want to draw more attention than I already do. Besides my wife is out grocery shopping at the moment," he joked as he closed all the blinds in a blink of an eye. "As you can see on my hand I have bee given a second chance with this White lantern ring, what can you tell me about it's connection to you or maybe the speed force?" Raven could tell the man was not in the mood to keep unknowing company for extended periods of time. "Well that clears up several questions I would of had, though I'm sure Hal would of just answered them for me at a later date," Barry half joked as he came to a stop and fully looked at the white lantern ring on the homomagi's finger.
"The best way I can honestly explain this to you Raven is to be as generalizing as I can be," Barry started to talk, "Not because I think you are dumb or anything? But rather from what I have found out myself and through talking with my former colleagues in the Justice League is that they are all simply connected some how some way. Now Some might say that all things come together at their very core to effect us all, while others state the claim that their beliefs/ways of life/religion are the end all say all. I'd like to stop and pose you a question; what if the world you knew was not what you thought it was but rather the opposite?" The question was meant to test the man who was taking all this in.
Taking a brief second to think over the question and all the information that he had received recently Raven concluded that he could only answer it one way. "Your life is what you make of it. What you believe is what you believe, what you question is what you choose to question. The same is said of all man, beast, or spirit," he stated what he believed to be true in all his walks of life. "Well said," Barry replied with deep gaze to his eyes as if he was studying Raven before he continued, "According to the Green Lanterns the Entity was kept in the core of the Earth dormant by the Guardians years ago, because it's the Entity of all living things. The Speed force much to the same effect is the flow of time and space, therefore it effects all living things. Spirits, whether they are living or dead or even deity, all share a connection to these very principles, When I died it took my opposite the Reverse Flash or as he calls himself 'Zoom' to go deep into the speed force to bring me back out some how. Whether that's for the better or worse is yet to be seen."
This was usually the part where the ring teleported him away without any reason, heck Raven might even get the chance to discuss something more in depth. "Being that you are the first I can say this to, I shall take advantage of it. Thank you for your words and explanations, I wish you safe travels in your future with this second life you have been given," but before he could get past the appreciation the ring was teleporting him away again against his well. "Same to you Raven," Barry stated to thin air as his wife Iris walked in the door. "Are you ok Barry?" she inquired as she had heard him talking to someone or at least she thought so. "Yes dear, let me help you with those!" he said as he moved quickly to help her and change the topic.
