The Flash #42

Things go from bad to crazy bad when Barry is forced to deal with both Professor Zoom and his father’s unexpected escape from prison!

Barry Allen arrives at Iron Heights Penitentiary to investigate his fathers escape. There he over hears Elijah, the guard that helped Henry Allen and his cellmates escape, tell his boss that he had no idea how the prisoners escaped. Barry then gets spotted by Iris, who tells him she is now on the Flash Beat at the paper.

Across town at the Central City Distribution Center for Medi-Barn Supplies, Henry, Mogul, Grinder and Black Mold are robbing the facility of medical supplies. Zoom shows up and pulls the alarm and a guard shows up. Zoom then uses his super-speed to force Henry to pull gun and shoot the guard. The group of escapees make a break for it.

Then, in Keystone City, on the wrong side of the tracks, Grinder goes to see his granny. That is where The Flash finds him and the pair fight it out. The Flash is able to trick Grinder into a magnet trap, and there Grinder reveals that Henry was the leader behind the escape.

Later at a Central City Suburbs, Elijah goes home to his wife, who is dying of cancer. This is where the Flash finds him and Elijah admits to helping Henry escape. The Flash agrees not to turn him if he helps him find Henry. After leaving Elijah's house the Flash is confronted by Professor Zoom who leads him to his old home.
