Synopsis:
The Flash meets Pablo Hernandez, a teen basketball star, who is also known as the Spanish Flash. After witnesses Pablo's basketball skills, he takes Pablo to Puerto Rico to visit his grandparents. On the way, they cross paths with a ship on fire. The Flash leaves Pablo on the ship while he puts out the fire. A broken mast falls on Pablo crushing his legs.

The Flash takes Pablo to the hospital. Pablo is unable to walk, but the doctors believe the damage is psychological not physical. The Flash is blamed for ruining Pablo's career. The speedster blames himself too. As a result, he loses concentration while battling criminals and is also injured.

The Flash is taken to the same hospital as Pablo and is also unable to walk. When a fire breaks out, the Flash encourages Pablo to walk and get out of the building. Pablo is able to walk, but instead of leaving he drags Flash out of harm's way. However, with the fire closing in, the Flash must overcome his own psychological trauma to get them both to safety.
