I don't own any of this
Iris West's point of view
It all happened so fast, and yet it felt like an eternity. Dad was pleading, begging Savitar not to kill me but to no avail. My heart pounded hard against my chest making my stomach sick. 'This is it.' I thought, despairingly. 'I'm going to die.' It wasn't a question anymore. It was a cold and unforgiving statement. All this time, all those days, weeks, months preparing for this I was still so afraid. I didn't want to die.
"Barry- "One word, one name I thought would help him see all the wrong he was doing. I thought that I could bring back some spark of goodness that he might have in him.
"My name's not Barry!" He screamed, and I knew that I couldn't get through to him. He was right, he's not Barry, he's a monster. Any part of the Barry I know and love inside him has been destroyed by Savitar. No this wasn't Barry, so why didn't that make me feel better?
I was suddenly pulled away, wind rushing past my face, drying the tears in my eyes. It wasn't long before we had arrived at our destination. Infantino Street. My thoughts reached back to Eddie, I missed him so much. I wondered if he was as terrified as I was before he died. 'Don't think like that.' I scold myself. 'You're not dead yet, Barry is going to save you.' I wish that it didn't feel like I was lying to myself but it did. If I wasn't lying, then I wouldn't have made that message for Barry earlier.
If I truly believed that Barry would save me then I wouldn't be feeling nearly as terrified as I did now. There was a familiar streak of yellow and suddenly Barry, my Barry, was standing in front of me. They were talking but I couldn't focus on their words. I remember Savitar running off as Barry tried to him with the Speed Bazooka and… succeeding? I watched Savitar struggle to escape the powerful beam that would soon trap him in the Speed Force.
I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time: hope. It surged through me only to be snuffed out as Savitar resisted the pull of the Speed Bazooka. 'No.' I panicked. 'No, no, no it didn't work.' That was my only chance. My only chance. The tears quickly returned to my eyes when Savitar held me up like an award.
"Don't do this." I heard Barry plead. "Okay? Don't do this." 'Barry, you can't let this break you.' I wanted to say. 'It will be hard but you can't let this break you.'
"Barry..." I choked, and for a second our eyes met. He had tears in his eyes too. "Barry…" I was interrupted by Savitar who proclaimed his victory. I couldn't see it when it happened but all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain puncture my skin. I inhaled quickly as the pain spread across my whole body. The last thing I saw was Barry running towards me before darkness slowly clouded my vision. I felt myself fall, wishing It didn't have to be like this. I wanted to spend the rest of my life next to Barry Allen and I guess, in the worst way, my wish came true.
Wow, that was hard to write. I really hope that Iris is still, somehow, alive but I just wanted to write that before we see the season finale just because. Anyway I hope you liked it.
