saw a blur when he ran. Flash admits that he was joking. When he runs, he actually sees everything and everyone. Superman admits his recent feelings of self-doubt to Flash, who tells him that everything will be all right. The Flash then leaves, but not before telling Superman that he let Superman catch him and that he is still the Fastest Man Alive.
