Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.
I just finished watching the entire Titans show. Season 1 was good, except the finale, which was a good episode but shouldn't have been the finale. Season 2 had great moments and I loved Deathstroke, but man did it get Arrowverse level stupid real quick, especially *SPOILERS FOR TITANS SEASON 2* How the hell can Donna Troy go toe-to-toe with Superboy and get killed by frickin' electricity? And why the hell didn't Conner help her in catching that tower? So stupid! *END SPOILERS* I'm really not in the mood to watch Season 3 now.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
Chaos Sorcerer: Thanks for the review. Yes, ages. The only thing you said was Pietro taken out of the Speed Force really. We'll see on Pietro. Honestly, I can say with 100% certainty that X-Men Quicksilver can solo all the Arrowverse speedsters without breaking a sweat, and so can Smallville Bart. I'd say X-Men Quicksilver is slightly faster than Smallville Bart but they are close. I like the idea with both Quicksilvers getting Speed Force powers. You will see which Universe they ended up on. Just keep reading. As for Barry-Blue knowing of the Speed Force, I honestly have erased most of the JL movie from my head, except some fight scenes and the race from the end so I don't remember. And can you blame me? I like the idea of Speed Force taking different forms like Galactus and Black Winter based on how it's perceived for sure. Thank you! That is my exact hypothesis on Arrowverse time travel. They time travel not because they run at light speed, but because of Speed Force powers. I use this to debunk anyone on Comicvine and other sites and YouTube claiming that time travel makes Arrowverse speedsters fast. They do have some crazy feats like Flashtime and Barry stopping the Earth with Kara's help in Elseworlds but considering they get tagged by slow opponents a week later, I consider the feats outlier. X-Men Peter and Smallville characters are very consistent with speed feats, so I don't consider their feats outlier at least. I don't know much of Godspeed either. You'll see on the interactions and thanks for the correction. Glad to hear you're happy and excited. Yes, look out! Glad to hear you got a surprise. Thanks and glad that was my greatest work. Enjoy the chapter.
Guest 1: Thanks for the review. Glad it was interesting. The Black Racer/Flash I referenced was from Smallville Season 11 comics and he was powerful enough to send Smallville Superman to his knees. I think he is gone now though. Actually, it's not Dormammu. That story is still a little away. The villain here is someone almost as bad as him though. But I do have plans for Dormammu in this series too.
Guest 2: Thanks for the review. Glad this was a fantastic intro chapter and glad to hear it. Not in this story, but in a future one, sure.
Chapter 2- New world, new threats
Bart reached the rooftop first, with the others except Pietro reaching after him. They saw that some kind of flying vessel had exploded and strangely dressed people were falling from it. But before they could help, their attention was attracted by a horrifying sight.
In the sky hovered a young, red-haired beautiful woman in some kind of suit. But some kind of energy was emanating from her body and spreading into sky while her eyes also glowed with that very energy.
"What the hell?" Bart muttered before quipping. "I go out, I save the world. I return, I have to save it again."
"Seems to be a thing with us", Barry noted as he looked at the falling people. One of them was a white-haired woman who seemed to hover in the air. But the others didn't have that luxury.
Barry, Wally, Jesse, Jay, Hunter and the other Barry sped down again and except the other Barry, twirled their arms at superspeed, forming a vacuum. Two of the falling people, who were both blue in color, with one of them having a tail, were saved that way, along with another woman who had platinum blonde hair.
"Whoa! That is awesome, guys and gal!" The other Barry said excitedly.
"Even I didn't see that coming", Pietro quipped.
But what Bart did shocked them completely. He ran to the edge of the building and leapt into the air, his superspeed allowing him to run through the air for a few seconds as he caught a blue-skinned woman in his arms and ran to the other building.
"And I thought I was fast", Barry muttered.
"Well, you have competition", Wally said.
"Competition? That guy is putting us all to shame", Jesse said.
Bart put the woman down and giving a bow asked with a flirty smile, "Are you okay, mademoiselle?"
"Uhh…..yeah", she said, finding his flirting a bit awkward.
Then they saw a white haired man in a similar suit with glasses running out of the ruins of the vessel, which were still in the air. He was fast too. He jumped from one piece of debris to another with his superspeed, not missing one step, and jumped to the ground. He looked up to see two other guys still falling.
Barry was about to do something when the guy raised his hand. "I got this my man."
He then ran off and a few seconds later, returned with a mattress. He put it down and with a smile, casually set it up as the others watched incredulously. He then lowered his head in consideration and running off, returned with some pillows.
"Now that would make the landing smooth", he quipped just as the two guys fell on it and sighed in relief.
"Thanks Peter", one of them said gratefully. "Though I didn't need you to save me."
"Really? Because I'm pretty sure you were pointed upwards. So your screams would make you fall faster", the speedster known as Peter said as the man he had saved chuckled.
"You have my thanks, Peter", the other man, who was bald and wore a suit, said with a smile.
"And this one puts us all to shame too", Jay said about Peter as all they all sighed.
Bart then sped down with the blue-skinned woman as they all looked up at the woman emanating energy.
"Why do I think she isn't friendly?" The other Barry asked.
"Because she isn't, genius", Pietro said to him.
The white haired woman in the sky summoned a storm as the sky darkened, trying to hinder the woman emanating energy.
Then the woman raised her hand and the energy behind her took the shape of a phoenix, dispersing the storm as all were sent flying off except Peter and Bart, the two fastest people there.
Exchanging a look, they ran together as Peter jumped on a car being thrown back and flipping into the air, caught the bald man and one with glasses as he ran them both away while Bart caught the blue-skinned woman and the one with platinum blonde hair, running off with them both as he ducked to avoid some energy.
Peter returned, side-stepping to avoid more energy and running to the two blue people, sped them off as well while Bart sped off the one with the sonic scream and Pietro as well due to him being the slowest speedster. The other speedsters and ran back too, barely avoiding the energy.
"What is that?" Hunter wondered. "That power, it is terrifying."
"As terrifying as the Infinity Stones I daresay", Barry said and Hunter nodded.
"What stones?" The other Barry asked in confusion.
The woman in the air looked down at them all with a smirk as the one with glasses recovered and asked. "Why are you attacking us, Jean?"
"Jean stop!" The bald man yelled at her. "For pity's sake."
"Ask not for pity from the Dark Phoenix", the woman, who was called Jean, declared. "There is none in her!"
The one with the sonic scream screamed at her but she pointed her hand at him and his scream was deflected at him. Just before it could hit him, Peter ran at him and grabbing him, sped him out of his own deflected attack's way.
"I keep saving your ass today", Peter said to him.
The blue man with tail suddenly teleported and grabbed Jean, teleporting them both away as the others watched. Then a nearby house exploded as the white-haired woman fired some lightning. The one with the glasses tried to push her away as Barry, Wally, Jesse, Jay, Hunter, Pietro and the other Barry ran towards the flying debris.
They saw Jean floating up in the air, telekinetically throwing stuff around. Barry, Wally, Jesse, Jay, Hunter and the other Barry managed to leap up on some debris, trying to run at Jean. But then the debris was telekinetically removed from under their feet as they fell down and Pietro was thrown off too.
Peter and Bart ran together. Bart flipped, avoiding some floating debris and caught both Barry and Wally, saving them from falling before catching Jesse and Jay too. Peter saw some debris was about to hit Pietro and stepped in the way, casually flicking it away with a smirk as he stretched before they all ran back together to avoid Jean's energy.
Jean then deflected the white haired woman's lightning into a house, destroying it, before throwing her, the man with the glasses, the one with the platinum blonde hair and the one with the sonic scream back, knocking them all out.
"Jean! Stop!" The blue skinned woman begged as she walked further.
"I've got the shot. I'm taking it", the other blue-skinned furry man said as he held up a gun.
"No you're not", the bald man said as he put his finger to the side of his head. "I'm sorry Hank, I want Raven to have a chance."
As the blue-skinned woman called Raven walked towards Jean she said. "I want you to stay away!"
"That's never gonna happen", Raven said as Jean descended to the ground.
"Please stop!" Jean snapped.
"Not until you're gonna be okay", Raven said.
"Something's…happening to me….." Jean said in a horrified and overwhelmed tone as she looked around. "Shaw's son….Mastermind….Emma Frost…..The Hellfire Club…that flare…"
"Then come home", Raven requested as she walked closer. "Let us all take care of you. Me. Scott. Charles. Storm. Hank. We will take care of you. I promise."
"No you can't! You can't!" Jean said as she shook her head and looked at her hands while her power faded for the moment. "You don't…know what it's like."
"Then tell me", Raven urged.
"When it comes", Jean began as her blood vessels became visible due to the energy. "People get hurt."
"I'm not afraid of you Jean", Raven said as she walked a little more closer while a scared Jean closed her eyes. "Just look at me. Focus on my voice."
Jean held her head in pain as Peter and Bart exchanged a look, readying themselves.
"Just look at me", Raven said, now standing within inches of Jean. "We're going through this together. We're not giving up on you Jean. This is what family does. We take care of each other. You are my family Jean. You are-"
"NO!" Jean screamed as she telekinetically sent Raven flying back with a lot of wooden debris. Raven was going to fall on a pointed and protruded piece of wood which would kill her.
"Oh boy!" Peter and Bart said simultaneously as they made their move together. Bart caught Raven again while Peter flicked the debris away before they both ran back to the corner to avoid Jean's energy surge.
The new Barry and Pietro rushed her but were sent flying back. Barry, Wally, Jesse, Jay and Hunter charged lightning bolts and threw them at her but she deflected and they were all hit instead, being sent down as well.
Jean then flew into the air, emanating the energy as her eyes glowed.
"I didn't want this, my dear ones, and yet it was something I had to do", she said coldly, her voice reminding Barry of Killer Frost when she had originally emerged within Caitlin. "By striking you all down, I cut myself free of the last ties binding me to the person I was. To the life I led."
Raising her hand, she gave a maniacal smile and declared. "It is over! It is done! Our paths will cross no more, X-Men and speedsters from other worlds."
Said speedsters exchanged shocked looks, wondering how Jean knew that as she declared. "My destiny lies in the stars!"
With that, she took to the skies and disappeared in a dazzling light, leaving behind the image of a firebird.
"This day just got so much worse", Barry said, realizing this Jean on this Earth was an infinitely bigger threat than Godspeed.
"Okay, dude, while it is nice to meet someone almost as fast as me", Peter said to Bart.
"Almost?" Bart asked in amusement but was ignored.
"And some slowpokes", Peter said, pointing at the other speedsters who looked offended. "Who are you people? And how did you all get here?"
"Did she just call you lot X-Men?" Barry suddenly asked them all, remembering Jean calling them that.
"And she called you all speedsters from other worlds", the bald man said to Barry as he held his head while lying on the ground. "I believe all of us need to talk. Something has happened."
"We can see that", Jay said.
"Whatever it is, we need to do it fast", Hank said as he supported Raven.
"Well", Barry said as he took off his mask, revealing his face. "I'm Barry Allen. I'm called the Flash. And I think we are all on the wrong Earth."
The X-Men all exchanged confused looks before looking at the speedsters again. It was time for introductions and explanations.
And now we know which Earth our heroes are on. This new Earth is basically the alternate X-Men timeline where the younger X-Men exist. I had them all exist as a separate Earth as it makes stuff a lot easier.
So the X-Men here right now are- Charles Xavier, Scott Summers, Ororo Munroe, Jean Grey (until now that is), Peter Maximoff, Kurt Wagner, Sean Cassidy, Raven Darkhölme, Hank McCoy and Moira MacTaggert as helper. All of them are the younger versions obviously played by the actors who played the younger versions of the characters. The only movies cannon on this Earth are X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Apocalypse. Nothing else.
And yes, I am doing the Dark Phoenix saga here. And I am gonna try to do it justice. X-Men: The Last Stand messed up the storyline already. I haven't even seen X-Men: Dark Phoenix and I don't think I ever will, but I know they fucked it up even more there.
And seriously, I saw some clips, they really did Quicksilver dirty. He was the best part of the newer movies, and he got only two minutes of screen time and was nerfed so badly. How is Jean fast enough to remove debris from under his feet? With Arrowverse speedsters from the earlier Seasons, I can buy if they were tricked by something like that. But Peter Maximoff? Hell no!
The movie was terrible and I'm glad I didn't waste my money on it.
As for the speedsters, I think we can all agree X-Men Quicksilver is faster than all Arrowverse speedsters combined, and so is Smallville Bart.
So I'm ranking all the speedsters of this story according to speed- X-Men Peter Maximoff, Smallville Bart Allen, Arrowverse Barry Allen, Arrowverse Jay Garrick, Arrowverse Hunter Zolomon/Accelerated Man, DCEU Barry Allen, Arrowverse Wally West, Arrowverse Jesse Quick and MCU Pietro Maximoff. And there is a huge, huge gap between Smallville Bart and Arrowverse Barry.
This was a short one. Hope to make next one longer.
Hope everyone enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
