Time stone

"I know you wanted a timeship, but who needs a lumbering tin can when you can time travel with a single thought?"

A time stone is an object with the capability of traveling throughout time and space, giving the bearer the power to teleport and/or time travel at will. It was presumably created by Mallus.

History[]

Original multiverse[]

At some point, Mallus presumably created time stones and later presented them to his most loyal followers. After Kuasa was resurrected, she was given a time stone, presumably by Mallus or one of his followers, and used it to retreat after being defeated by Amaya Jiwe in Seattle 2042. Nora Darhk was shown to wield a time stone after the resurrection of her father, Damien Darhk, who at some point also acquired one. When Grodd was recruited, Damien gave him a time stone as well.^[1]

Nora's time stone was destroyed by a bullet fired from a gun wielded by a younger version of her father, Damien, when she and a kidnapped Ray Palmer traveled to 1962 East Berlin.^[2]

Later, after Damien had died by becoming Mallus's vessel immediately before the demon assumed his true form (with Damien having worked with Ray to go back in time and switch places with Nora as Mallus's vessel), and Mallus himself had been killed, right before Nora was taken away to prison by the Time Bureau, Ray gave her Damien's time stone so that she'd be able to escape and start a new life, not wanting her to waste the second chance she'd been given by her father's sacrifice.^[3]

Later, with John Constantine's life in danger after he'd used magic to save a boy's life,^[4] and Gideon unable to help him recover, Ray concluded that magic was the only thing that could save him. He tracked down Nora, brought her to the Waverider, and convinced her to use her powers to help John. After John's life had been saved, Ray told her to take the time stone and go back into hiding. Instead, Nora used the stone to take them both to the Time Bureau. She subsequently returned the time stone to Ray and surrendered herself to the Time Bureau.^[5]

A short time after this, John used the time stone in the Legends' possession to travel back in time in an effort to change the fate of someone he cared about, although this ended up having catastrophic consequences.^[6]

Later, when Gary Green defected to Neron, he stole the time stone from John's coat pocket. Gary and Neron then used the stone to leave the Waverider, abducting John as well.^[7]

Neron later used the stone to take John to the Ice Age. When the Legends tracked John's location and fired upon Neron with the Waverider, Neron used the stone to time jump himself out of harm's way, taking John to the Dark Ages.^[8]

New multiverse[]

When John retired from the Legends in 1925, he used the time stone to leave.^[9]

Reverse-Flashpoint timeline[]

In the Reverse-Flashpoint timeline created by Eobard Thawne through the Negative Still Force, Nora had died once the demon Mallus fully took over her body, and her father and Ray never managed to go back and prevent her death; as a result, Damien was still alive after being resurrected by the Order of the Shrouded Compass and had a time stone in his possession. When Barry Allen traveled to 2031 from 2021 while trying to prevent Armageddon, he convinced Darhk to help him restore the timeline through a vision Damien experienced using his time stone which revealed that Nora would be alive. Damien then entrusted his time stone to Barry to help the latter restore the timeline by equipping the particle eradication disruptor with the time stone, with Barry then running around the world at approximately Mach 20 in order to build up enough speed to open a temporal portal to return to 2021 (knowingly commencing Armageddon in the process) while also resetting the timeline.^[10] After Barry restored the timeline, he found that Damien had somehow been pulled to 2021 as well. Damien theorized it was linked to the time stone Barry had used in conjunction with his speed and the Particle Eradication Disruptor to restore the timeline and get back to his native time.^[11]

Post-Reverse-Flashpoint[]

When Barry reset the Reverse Flashpoint timeline and returned to 2021 with Damien Darhk unexpectedly in tow, before dying again, Damien gave the time stone to Joe West.^[11] It was kept in a cabinet in the West house.

After Iris West-Allen was apparently accidentally killed by Barry, upon sensing that she was not meant to die yet, the stone saved her consciousness. There, after conversing with a remnant of Damien's own consciousness, Iris used her connection to Barry to return to the real world, with the stone itself vanishing.^[12]

Powers[]

Consciousness preservation: A remnant of Damien Darhk's consciousness was preserved within his time stone after he helped Barry reset the Reverse-Flashpoint timeline. The same time stone also pulled Iris into itself after she was seemingly killed in the crossfire of the war between the positive and negative Forces of Nature.^[12]
Retrocognition: Damien Darhk's time stone enabled him to see a vision of the timeline Barry Allen was asking Damien to help him fix; proving to Darhk that the death of the latter's daughter Nora would be undone by restoring the timeline.^[10]
Temporal restoration: Combined with the Particle Eradication Disruptor, Damien Darhk's time stone enabled Barry to reset the Reverse-Flashpoint timeline merely by running at a certain velocity to open a time portal to get from 2031 to 2021, with the changes Thawne had made to the timeline being undone with no further effort.
Time travel/teleportation: A time stone can be used to transport a user through time and/or space in a flash of light.
- Inter-dimensional travel: When Sara Lance grabbed onto Damien Darhk as he was trying to use a time stone to retreat in the year 1000, Sara somehow wound up in Mallus's extra-dimensional prison.^[13]
