Chapter 25

Angela kept her healing beam on Leon as Barry and Cisco brought him to the infirmary. "Vhat the hell is he?" Angela asked.

"If he's anything like our Savitar, then he could be a Time Remnant of Leon that won't succumb to the paradox." Barry informed her.

"Paradox?" Angela asked. "A time paradox, something that isn't meant to be in a certain place in time." Caitlin replied. Angela stared at them as the process of information floated through her mind.

"You need to leave, we got it from here." Cisco said. "B-but, I can help." Angela protested.

"If you want to help, go to Lena. She'll need someone to talk to." Cisco retorted. Angela nodded and left to find her friend. As she went to her room, she could tell the door was locked. She knocked thrice before recieving an answer.

"What?" Lena asked. "Lena, it's me. Can I come in?" The doctor asked. She could hear audible footsteps before hearing the door unlock.

"You can come in." Lena said. Angela opened the door to see Lena sitting at her desk as she drew the face of Leon's soon-to-be killer.

"What are you doing?" She asked closing the door. "Trying to get a good ID of the perp. This 'Savitar' is trying to kill Leon, I want to get to the bottom of it." She replied.

"We're doing the best we can, thanks to Cisco's help, we can track Savitar wherever he is." Angela said.

"But Savitar requires my attention. Besides, I'm destined to die in a few months." She retorted.

"But Leon needs you now." Angela said, causing the Brit to stop. "Don't play that card." Lena growled.

"Lena, listen to me. Leon is badly injured, we've got random people from an alternate reality trying their best to save him. When he wakes, he'll need a familiar face." Angela said standing her ground. Lena turned to the doctor, an angry glare glued to her face.

"So what is it, waste your time avoiding the man you love or going after this killer?" Angela asked before leaving her.

"Damn her, I hate it when she's right." Lena said kicking her chair.

~Maximun Prison~

"Hey, stay alert Terry." A man said. The man named Terry rolled his eyes and sighed. "But this guard job is boring! Man, I wanted some action." Terry moaned.

"Guarding this prisoner is for the sake of the world, do you remember last time? He single handedly took down two of Overwatch's best agents. It took Winston's Primal Rage to take him down." The man retorted.

"If I was Doomfist, I would have taken over this world, but I'm stuck here. On guard duty." Terry simply said. "Anyways, how's the family Jason?" He asked.

"Good, the wife is annoying as she is beautiful. Both kids are going into high school." Jason replied.

"That's nice." Terry said before a sound that reminded Terry of a thunder storm was audible.

"Damn, sounds like rain today." Terry said. "Not exactly." A voice said behind him. Terry turned as his pistol was aimed at the metallic man who held an unconscious Jason.

"Stop, put him down." Terry barked. "Or what? You're going to stop me with that?" The man asked. He dropped Jason and walked forward as Terry fired his pistol, only for the bullets to bounce of harmlessly. The man stood in front of Terry as the clicking from the empty gun could be heard.

"Now, be a good dog and open the door." The man demanded. "S-sure, j-just please don't k-kill us yeah?" Terry begged.

"Depends on your usefulness." The man replied. Terry nodded as he walked forward, the metallic man following close behind, and stopped in front of one cell.

"T-this is the one, y-yeah?" Terry asked. "Open it." The man demanded. Terry fumbled for the key before inserting it into the lock and opening the door. The metallic man knocked Terry out and tossed him to the side as the figure inside stopped what he was doing and turned the man.

"Who, are you?" He asked. "I am the God of Speed, or Savitar. I rescued you from imprisonment." Savitar said.

"I could have escaped on my own, I was awaiting the right moment." The man replied. "Sure you were, besides, Talon has been intergrated with Overwatch." Savitar said. The man walked from the shadows as the light shown him to be a tall man with chocolate skin, he wore a white shirt and orange pants.

"I need your cunning and power, Akande." Savitar said as a portal opened and a duffelbag was spat out. Akande knelt to the ground and opened the bag as a handle of what appeared to be a gauntlet shown from the light.

"I require your assistance, Doomfist." Savitar said. Akande stood up as the gauntlet rested firmly on his arm.

"What needs to be done?" Doomfist asked.

~Overwatch HQ~

After a few hours, Cisco, Barry, and Caitlin were able to stop anything serious from happening to Leon.

"We've stopped anything serious, now we just let his healing factor take course." Barry said opening the door.

"He's awake now, you can visit him." Caitlin said. Lena was the first to walk in as Caitlin closed the door.

"Hey dweeb." Lena said. "Heh, h-hey squirt." Leon replied hoarsely. Lena smiled and walked over as she sat on the chair next to the bed.

"Glad to see you awake, you had me worried." She said grabbing his hand. "Some false god can't kill me." Leon said with a smile.

"Yeah, you know us speedsters n-need t-to stay t-together." Lena replied with tears. Leon sat up and patted the bed, an invitation to join him. She climbed in and rested her head on his shoulder, he could feel the tears soaking into his bandages.

"I thought I almost lost you again." She whispered. "I'm sorry Lena." Leon replied wrapping his arms around her.

"Y-you need to stop. I forbid you from anything that threatens your life. You're on time out from Overwatch. Got it?" Lena demanded.

"I understand." He said. The door knocked as Barry walked in with a smile. "Glad to see you feeling better." He commented.

"Thanks, what's up?" Leon asked. "Well, something bad has happened." Barry replied as he held up a holo pad that showed news of Doomfist's escape.

"What?" Lena asked. "And from an interview with one of the guards, it seems our metal man is the culprit in his escape." Barry said turning off the pad and tossing it to the side.

"Well too bad, Leon is not on duty." Lena replied crossing her arms. "But Lena, this man could kill any one of us at his leisure." Barry retorted.

"Too bad, I lost him once, I don't plan on losing him again." She snapped. "I understand your defiance, but this Savitar will kill him regardless." Barry said. The conversation cut off as a knock interrupted them. The door opened to reveal Braxton and Cisco.

"Greetings Mr. Gustin, I am glad to see you're doing better." Braxton said with a nod. "Thanks Braxton, what's up?" Leon asked.

"Thanks to the assistance of Mr. Ramone, we were able to upgrade the velocity radar to pinpoint where Savitar and Doomfist may be hiding." He replied.

"That's good news." Barry commented. "It is, but give me 2 hours, I'll be back to normal." Leon said. Barry nodded as the three exited the room.

"You're really going out and risking your life again, even after being brought to an inch of your life?" Lena asked.

"Lena, you know as well as I do that someone needs to protect the people from Savitar. He could kill who he pleases. I don't want to know I wasn't able to save someone from his wrath on my conscious." Leon said holding her close.

"But, you were killed. For 2 months, I was a mess. Keeping to myself, staying in my room, my depression through the roof knowing you wouldn't come back. It was only recently that I was able to push pass the grief and continue my career as 'Tracer'. But when that portal opened, I was ecstatic. I was happy again, but now that you're going out to face an enemy on par to Zoom and Reverse-Flash, I don't know what to think." Lena replied. Leon opened his mouth to retort but closed it. She was right, what if he dies again? Will she move on or do something drastic? The thoughts drifted through his mind before he bottled them up.

"I promise you, I will not die. If I get into a pinch, I'll retreat." He said finally. Lena looked at him as a smile formed on her face.

"There's that adorable smile I remember." Leon said. "Oh stop, it's not adorable." Lena countered. He smiled and pulled her close as he kissed her forehead.

"Keep telling yourself that."

~Savitar~

"Mind telling me your plan?" Akande asked. "You ever heard of the Overwatch Agent the Flash?" Savitar asked.

"I heard, but what does my escape have to do with the Flash?" He replied. "Well, I need your brilliant mind to help formulate a plan to eradicate him." Savitar said.

"Well, you know my name. It's only common courtesy to tell me yours." Doomfist said. The metal man turned and sighed before a flash erupted from the suit as it became lifeless. A man walked from behind the suit as he smirked.

"Call me Max Mercury."

A/N: I apologize of it didn't turn out as you expected but it was hard trying to think of a main antagonist. I have the idea of a fellow speedster from the 'Speedster War' that befriended Leon before he was left to die accidentally. Something like that. Also, a week ago, my friend, my fur baby, the one I treated as a queen had died a week ago. So, I am still in grieving for my cat. I hope you guys and gals understand. Anyways, tata for now!
