#so does barry

So here’s the thing. I was actually expecting Nash and all the Wells to "die" for the sake of creating the speed force. The thing is, I wasn't expecting it to be this early because I was under the assumption that Cisco and Barry were going to "die" too.

Even knowing the name of the episode, I thought maybe they'd figure it out, but I didn't think they'd do it.

Here's what I thought would happen and why. You will notice that I didn't include Chester or Allegra in here… And that's frankly because I forgot about them up until I watched S7:E01.

Whoops.

Cisco would get the last component to his theoretical "lossless, self-sustaining source of perpetual energy" from Atlantis to get Kamila, Iris, and Singh out of the mirror verse discussed in S6:E18.

I thought they'd get them out before they got the speed force up and running. In a world without Covid, maybe they did, but the name of 6x20 was the same as 7x01. So perhaps not.

Anyway. After they got them out, I figured the flash would need his speed to face Eva, and they could use that perpetual motion machine to stabilize the artificial speed force.

Except it's artificial. We already know from the problems that Thawne ran into that got him stuck in the past that an artificial Speedforce is subject to its creation and the point in space-time of its creation.

I assumed that they would realize they needed an organic component. Then rather than an Artificial Speedforce they could make an Augmented Speedforce.

We saw Thawne leave Nash in Red lightning. We could assume that Eobard is now the Augmented Negative Speedforce. I thought we'd get the same thing with Barry.

This is where things go a little off the rails.

We have Barry low on remaining Speed.

We have Wally who we could assume would be far better at conserving his.

We have Nash with infinite Wells likely collected as Pariah watched each tragedy as the multiverse collapsed. Though Nash is no longer Pariah, and Martian Manhunter had to 'unlock' those memories. Those memories were still there to unlock. Same with everyone else who had memories unlocked.

We have Cisco in whom all Cisco's were once connected and as Vibe, could have had a similar situation as Nash, only Cisco no longer has any dark matter in his system. But that doesn't mean he doesn't still have the capacity to be "Vibe."

With these four organic components not only would they make an Augmented Speedforce. They would create the Speedforce as it was originally borne, and once borne it would exist for all time until it died once more.

Creating the original Speedforce would extrapolate the previous multiverse from all the dead wells (if H.R. was in Nash as I suspected… Which cool I was right… Then Earth-1 Harrison Wells would be in there too.) And would require some of the remaining Speedforce that Wally had remaining.

This would essentially recreate each universe containing a Harrison Wells at the point prior to his 'soul' getting absorbed by Pariah. But how to get those other Wells out of Nash?

Enter Cisco with Wally's remaining Speedforce.

Badabing. Badaboom. A lot of pseudo science and you have All the Cisco's and all the Wells' joining in to make the original g'damn Speedforce and an entire episode is used to explain how the first Speedforce was created by the first OG Wells and the first OG Ramon in the first Universe before the multiverse ever existed. Before closed loops ever existed. One where OG Barry was raised by OG Harrison Wells (this would make the whole Speedforce taking on the image of Barry’s Mother a little less weird for me. That isn't a hard req for this theory) and OG Cisco Ramon was OG Harrison Wells science and engineering soulmate. Platonic or not, Cisco does have a connection with all the Wells.

OG Cisco always has been and always will be the main essence of the Speedforce. OG Cisco is what the recreated Speedforce is and was and will be when what's left of it is pulled from Wally. But OG Harrison Wells (as the sentience of the Speedforce) died. OG Cisco's (who is now more universal force of nature than human) soulmate of over a trillion trillion years died.

And after the four organic components are absorbed. OG Cisco asks for a Wells volunteer. One with a connection to the Flash and a connection to Cisco, one who if they went back when the multiverse recreates itself, they'd either not exist or find themselves dead.

Earth-1 Harrison Wells no longer fits the bill given he has no connection to Barry… But H.R. does. H.R. then becomes the TV writers self insert. H.R. takes the place as the sentience within the Speedforce. He writes his own story his beginning and his 'heroic' end. This also explains Wally's advanced connection to the Speedforce (assuming this is not the first time that the Speedforce has been recreated.)

OG Cisco and H.R. Wells become the Speedforce. Earth Prime doesn’t change as Earth-1 and Earth-38 combined do not uncombine, but all the other Earth’s are recreated. The other Wells regain consciousness in their own reality as our Cisco becomes Vibe without dark matter same as Caitlin is Frost without dark matter. And Barry himself becomes the embodiment of the Speedforce same as Eobard became the embodiment of the negative Speedforce. Only Barry has his own body to go back to.

No one actually dies any more than Barry died when he regained his speed when Harry tried to get him his speed back after Barry gave his up to save Wally.

All of this is to say that I'm not sure the Wells are actually 'dead,' and even if they are, they might not stay that way.
