Savitar?

"Savitar?" Barry questioned.

"Someone who has a shared interest in hating you as much as I do. But don't worry, I hate you more." Thawne flipped through the small book he had held on to and pulled out a small sheet of paper with a sketch.

Barry examined the parchment, a sketch of what looked like a robotic face and huge metal body. "So this thing is Savitar? What is it, where'd it come from?"

"Not a what, a who. That is some sort of suit he uses, why, we never managed to figure it out before we trapped him in the speed force."

Barry knitted his eyebrows together, confused and suspicious. "We?"

"Mhmm," Thawne crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow out of attitude

"Earlier you said you helped me before, in the original timeline, you mean we put this guy away together?"

"Ding-ding, again I stand by what I said, you should really use that brain to it's full capacity."

Barry rolled his eyes and Kara could feel a wave of energy emit from him once more, as if he was getting ready to lightning punch Thawne back to the future. She slid her hand into his to calm him and spoke up. "If you hate Barry so much why help me? Then and now, I'm sure in the future he was more than capable to handle this Savitar guy on his own."

"Well, Ms Krypton, that's just the thing, he wasn't. Plain and simple. In fact, wonder boy here was the one who asked me for help." Barry scoffed, choosing not to believe Thawne. "Listen believe me or not, you need me now even more than you did then. In the future, you were in tune more with your powers, so much that you could tap into the speed force itself and do things you wouldn't imagine." Thawne looked Barry up and down," and well, there is a reason it took you some time. Now, you can barely keep up with me and we don't have much time to get you to your potential as future you. So I have to get you to a place where you at least won't die, and then, maybe we'll stand a chance."

Barry stood there and thought, he didn't want to believe Thawne under any circumstances, on the other hand, Harry had already given him the speech about how the merging of the two worlds could lead to major problems and that only time would time. He couldn't shake the feeling that now's that time.
"Let's say I choose to trust you, because I don't, what did this guy do to cause us to imprison in inside the speed force?"

"Savitar had this crazy idea that if he could get fast enough, he could split himself into multiple versions of himself. He could use the speed force to exist at every point in time on any plain of existence."

"How's that possible?" Kara wondered

"Because the speed force is larger than you could imagine," Thawne waved her off which pissed Kara off. "Problem is, it's very much possible and he almost succeed, until we managed to stop him"

"Wait, so if he planned to use the speed force to help his plan, why imprison him there?" Barry had thought he finally caught Thawne slipping.

"Because, in order for him to execute him plan he needed a weapon to help split himself, but we destroyed in before he could use it. After that we managed to trap him inside the speed force in a speed prison, basically an infinite void where he's running in a loop in the deepest part of the force." Thawne then raised a finger," that was, until now. Because of your accident, the combining of the two worlds and the result of the two different frequencies coming together, it caused the speed force to become unstable just long enough for Savitar to make an escape."

"So why didn't he just go back to the future?" Kara asked

Thawne sighed with annoyance again, "I swear I thought you were more than just a pretty face and that you kryptonians may be more intelligent, but you must have memory problems."

Now it was Barry's turn to calm Kara down who had made a step toward Thawne. "Watch it Thawne, or else you'll be taking the trip back with Savitar."

"Mhmm, well, back on topic, he didn't return because he knows that if he lost once, you'll most likely lose again. So, he must have thought, why go back to the future when he could go to the past…"

"And kill me before I became powerful enough to stop him," Barry finished.

"There's that brain power," Thawne mocked.

"Then why are you here and not future me," Barry asked

"Because, we both know that I know how to manipulate things to my benefit, plus that version of you is part of a whole other group of heroes that had, lets say, a crisis on their hands and he couldn't risk leaving them. While I, would couldn't care less, chose to come here." Thawne winked at him.

"How could this be more important than this crisis you mentioned," Barry questioned.

"Because that crisis has nothing to do with me, where as if Savitar manages to execute his plan, not only would he be impossible to catch afterwards, even if we do, he'd basically be immortal, kill one and there would be infinite numbers to replace him, making that crisis look like nothing compared to him. He wins, that means all speedsters are at risk, that means me."

Thawne glanced at his watch, "Well I have to be going. You two enjoy the rest of your night and you," he pointed at Barry," be ready for some intense training from yours truly." He turned his back and proceed down the sidewalk and turned a corner.

Just as he turned the corner, Barry checked to make sure no one was looking, kissed Kara and sped after Thawne. Kara tried to protest but it was to late. She knew she wouldn't be able to catch up so she prayed to Rao that Barry would be safe and headed home.


Barry was hot on Thawne's trail, the evil speedsters red bolts of lightning mere centimeters from his grasp. They darted back and forth before running up a building. Once they reach the top, Barry had gotten enough speed to grab ahold of Thawne and tackled him to the ground. He yanked him up and slammed him up against the roof's access door. "If you EVER think about going around any of my loved ones again, if you TOUCH any of them, you will regret it." Barry could feel his body going crazy. This anger only amplified by Thawne's lack of emotion that then changed to an evil smile.

"Please, we both know you stick to that moral code of yours like a life jacket, afraid that if you took the necessary steps to stop the bad guy that you would drown. That is why you'll never stop me." Barry slammed him against the door again

"You seem to have taken a blow to the hit, because you havn't noticed that i—"

"Caught me? Do you really believe that? I let you catch me sparky. If you really caught me," Thawne instantly fazed through the door, and within a few seconds of Barry's shock, he felt a powerful shove from behind, sending him into the door. He then found himself being pulled up and punched rapidly before being pulled and thrown to the ground with such force that he slid to the edge of the building. Thawne grabbed him by his hair and pulled to raise him to look at him. "Let's get this straight, I will hate you no matter what the situation. I need you as much as you need me, so we have to deal with it for now. Just know, well I'm sure you figured, as soon as this is over, whether we win or lose, you will die by my hand and other one elses." Thawne shoved him back to the ground and left Barry on the roof.

It took Barry a few minutes to catch his breath before he made his way back to Kara's. He hated everything about this, but how it looked, Thawne was right, he had to deal with it for now.
