Well here it is. I finally finished this chapter. Now I know I definitely sound like a broken record when I say this took a lot longer than I expected but what can I say except quote one of my favorite fictional characters; 'Writing is hard.' Also, I apologize in advance if there are lines that seem to pop up multiple times.

The Flash: Survival of the Fastest

Chapter 28: Who are you?

August 23 2020

Coast City Memorial Hospital

Savitar groaned in pain as his vision came back to him and he pushed himself back to his feet. The lights of the Hospital were flickering while a high pitch screech pierced Savitar's ears.

Complete Chaos. That's the state of the hospital. Savitar looked around trying to get his bearings and to remember what had happened. He remembered that doctor's words and immediately his heart was filled with an emotion he had long forgotten. Dread. He burst through the nearby door of the maternity ward in to the room of screaming babies. Using his speed, he checked out every baby and with each on his heart grew heavier and heavier. His son was gone. White lightning raced across the eyes of the God of Speed as he was filled with a blistering rage.

Moments later he has searched the entire hospital and killed every doctor who could not answer his demands. He killed the final doctor when he finally got some answers. A moment later he was in the doorway of Frost's room only to see his wife surrounded by heavily armed and armored men. Frost was unconscious but Savitar could clearly see the dozen IV bags hanging above her draining an unknown fluid into her while another IV was draining out her blood.

"Shit!" One of them aimed his gun at Savitar. Savitar allowed the Speed Force to flow through his entire body in an instant slowing the world down to a crawl. He had learned a few new tricks in the past year. He flexed his forearms and an instant later the massive gauntlets of his metallic suit we adorning his hands with their blades extended.

What happened next was quick and bloody as Savitar savagely tore the armed men apart and painted the room crimson with their blood. Flesh and limbs flew everywhere in slow motion but Savitar was in only a blind furry. The slaughter was quick and brutal, leaving the God of Speed actually feeling winded once he slowed down to the same speed as the rest of the world. He made his way to Frost and yanked the IVs from her arms.

"Frost!" He gently shook her but she was unresponsive. He checked for a pulse, and thankfully found one. It was weak, but steady. By his guess these men had drained her of nearly four pints of blood. Her skin was far paler than it usually was and as fear set in Savitar scooped her into his arms. He had to get her out of here.

Several Hours Later

Savitar had brought Frost to the clinic she worked at the good news was it was so late that there was no one to bother them while he reintroduced her blood back into her system.

Even though their son was now missing, more likely than not stolen by the same men who were after his wife, Savitar could not loose Frost. Loosing his wife… that would, without a doubt, break him. He sat there and stroked her hand lightly allowing his mind to drift back to when he was freed from the Speed Force, the day he found her again.

"Who are you?" Those were the first words she had said to him after regaining consciousness. Whatever Blackhole did to her it gave her amnesia, as well as activated her latent cryokinetic abilities.

"Caitlin… Don't you remember? It's me. Barry." Despite throwing away that name long ago Caitlin was the only one allowed to call him by that name without inciting his anger.

Over the next several months Savitar filled in Caitlin's missing memories, leaving out many of the details, only telling her what she needed to her.

Savitar held her hand, gently stroking the ring he had placed on her finger, and looked at her with nothing except love. "I'm sorry Caitlin… I let you down. Because of me our son is now missing. I swear to you, once you wake up there is nothing in this world that will stop us from finding him. Those men will rue the day they stole our baby boy. When we find him, and believe me, we will, we will finally get to be a family."

He leaned down and kissed her forehead before standing up and summoning his metallic suit to him. In a bolt of white lightning The God of Speed was gone.

Present Day

Godspeed's Hideout

Samantha Heart struggled against her chains when a breach opened in the far wall of the lair. Out of it came Puppet Master and a large man.

"How'd you do that?" Omnivore asked confused as to how Puppet Master was able to force Omnivore to create a wormhole.

"Simple, I saw you devour Vibe's ability so I hypothesized that it should give you the same ability, albeit so long as it remains in your system. Forcing you to use it? I have been analyzing The Flash's team for a while now thanks to a man on the inside. I have a general idea how Vibe's powers work." Puppet Master said as he removed his plague mask revealing the face of DA David Caesar. He tossed his coat and mask and they seemed to catch onto something invisible because they just hung in the air. "Welcome to our base of operations Omnivore."

"Impressive." Omnivore said looking around noticing all of the emptiness. "Lots of… space."

"It suits our needs."

"Got anything to eat? I'm starving." Omnivore said rubbing his stomach.

"Over there." Caesar pointed towards the far corner that had been set up to vaguely resemble a quasi-kitchen. "Or would you prefer something more…expensive."

"What do you have in mind?"

"Whatever you eat becomes a part of your body correct?"

"Yes. Ever since I took that damned drug I've been constantly hungry. I have to eat. Didn't realize I could eat everything until I accidentally bit my fork in half."

"Well, the reason I ask is because my business endeavors require a little more financing. Say you were to eat precious jewels or gold. You could produce infinite qualities of them correct?" Caesar asked

Omnivore nodded his head. "Sure can. I ate some chicken fingers the other day and the next thing I knew I had talons, wings and a beak."

"That's… interesting." Caesar said. "Well, let me introduce you to the rest of you little gang." Almost as soon as he spoke two figures approached DA Caesar and Omnivore. "Allow me to introduce you to; James 'Jack' Potts and his sister Jaqueline Potts. A.K.A. Sir Prize and Miss Fortune." The siblings gave a nonchalant wave to Omnivore.

"Sup."

"So, what can these two do?" Omnivore asked

"They are able to manipulate luck." Caesar explained. "With them by our side we will be able to accomplish our goal without a problem."

"And this is everyone?" Omnivore asked "Just us four?" There was a scuttling noise from above them all. "What the hell was that?"

"That was another one of our associates." Caesar glanced up "She is quite tenacious and foul tempered, though her abilities are quite… unique I should say."

"Anyone else I should know about?"

"We also have a man inside CCPD." James Potts said.

"And a monopoly on the criminal underworld." His sister said.

As they continued to chat Samantha watched and listened. Despite remaining as calm as possible she still felt some degree of trauma from her time with the future version of Puppet Master.

"My mommy and daddy will save me!" She repeated those words like a mantra over and over during her imprisonment by Puppet Master. Even now she still says them to herself whenever she feels like the weight of the world is on her shoulders and there is nothing she can do. She knows, deep down, her mother and father will not save her, in fact there was zero chance they were ever going to save her again.

Samantha hugged her knees tightly to her chest and ignored the rest of the world and allowed herself to drift back into her memories.

May 3 2037

Happy Harbor, Rhode Island

Five-year-old Samantha, along with the hero who had saved her from Puppet Master were standing in front of a door to a nice house on the outside of a city. The Hero reached to the door and knocked. Almost immediately Samantha heard dogs bark excitedly. A Woman opened the door whole two golden blurs bolted out the door and immediately assaulted Samantha with wet black noses.

"Butch! Sundance!" Samantha couldn't help but laugh as the two golden retrievers we pulled off of her. One Golden retriever, Butch, wore a red bandana around his neck while Sundance 'Sunny' wore a blue bandana around her neck.

"I am so sorry about these two trouble makers. They just get so excited whenever Charlie comes home." The woman said looking at the Hero named Charlie.

Charlie smiled and embraced the woman in a fierce hug. "It's good to see you again mom."

"So, Charlie, who's this?" Charlie's mother asked looking at Samantha. "I hope she isn't yours, I'm too young to be a grandmother. Don't make me feel old"

Charlie groaned. "Come on mom, you're only thirty-five," Samantha was fairly certain his mother was not thirty-five, she looked maybe late forties. "and this kid is Samantha and no she isn't mine. Come on mom you know me better than that."

"Hi… Mrs. McGrath." Samantha greeted shyly. "Its very nice to meet you."

Mrs. McGrath offered Samantha a smile. "There's no need to be so formal Samantha. You can call me Miranda. After all Charlie said you're going to be staying with us for a while."

Present Time

Samantha smiled to herself. Charlie and his mother took her in and while Samantha had always expected her parents to find her they never did despite Charlie and Miranda actively helping her try and find Henry and Catherine Heart but it was like neither of them existed. The Years she ended up staying with the McGraths were phenomenal. They took her in with open arms and she found herself quickly becoming a member of the family with Charlie as her big brother and Miranda as her new Mother.

She gently rubbed what little of her wrist was exposed from the dampening cuffs she could. Godspeed Had designed these cuffs to damped all except her altered age and her ability to see every potential future. This was something Godspeed should not have allowed for Samantha had foreseen her liberation. She kept going back to it over and over again and thinking about how this will all end with her in her parents' arms.

Central City Mall

"This is a little crowded. Let's have a little privacy." Ben still wore his unnerving smirk. He raised his right hand and brought his middle finger and thumb together. Golden white lightning hummed around his fingers for a split second. He snapped his fingers with a thunderous boom. It formed a bubble of energy around the three speedsters and all the world outside the bubble slowed down until it stopped. "Much better."

"What is this?" Barry asked looking around at the frozen world.

"You might know it as Flashtime." Ben said simply. "Time is dilated where one second outside this bubble but in here, in here one month will seemingly pass for us."

"One Month?"

"Not really, but it'll feel like it."

"Ben?" Caitlin was near speechless, she could barely hold in her tears. "How… how are you here? You… you died…"

Ben seemed to ignore Caitlin's question. "Still calling me that I see. Well guess it cannot be helped." A few chuckles escaped Ben's lips. "Guess you didn't listen to the Tornado Brats when they said Ben Allen doesn't exist."

"What?" Barry and Caitlin could not believe what Ben was saying.

"I thought you all would be smarter than this, after all, this is the third or fourth time you blindly believed someone only to be betrayed. Heck, I wasn't even concerned with the continuity of my story and I was able to play you all like a fiddle."

"Why? Why are you doing this Ben?" Barry demanded

"That's not my name Flash." Ben suddenly adopted a sterner expression. "Like the Tornado Brats said, Ben Allen doesn't exist, I made him up!"

"I gave you a polygraph!" Caitlin practically screamed through hot tears. "You weren't lying!"

Ben smirked. "It is ridiculously easy to fool a lie detector. Especially when I had a friend of mine alter my memories so that I even believed the stories. It is so much easier to lie when you believe you are telling the truth."

"But…how? Who was the August we initially met?"

"So, everything was a lie?" Barry demanded. "What was it all for? What were you trying to gain? Steal my powers? Murder us?"

"Why tell us now all this now!" Caitlin cried she felt like her heart was breaking. Their son, no there was no way he was their son. The baby growing inside her womb could never be like him.

"There's no reason for me to hide it anymore." Ben said as white-gold lightning coursed around him. "I've essentially already gotten what I want."

"Which is?"

Ben looked from Barry to Caitlin then directed his gaze to Caitlin's stomach. Barry immediately moved between them once he realized what Ben was saying.

"I once told you Flash, that I was going to take everything away from you." Ben said. "Your city, your loved ones, your powers. All of it would be mine."

SMACK Caitlin suddenly was in front of Ben with her hand outstretched having just landed a slap to the man who was wearing her 'son's' face.

"You're a monster." She seethed.

"I'm a monster?" Ben's eyes turned a golden-white color charged with electricity. "I'm not the one who's entire life has been dictated by tragedy."

"Excuse me?" Caitlin demanded.

"It's who you are Caitlin. It's who you both are." He turned his attention to both Speedsters in front of him. "As Heroes and as Scientists. The only thing that gets Barry Allen and Caitlin Snow out of bed in the morning is Death. Death is a part of you two as everyone around you dies. It came for your Fathers as well as Barry's mother."

Yellow lightning flashed in Barry's eyes. He rushed forward and grabbed Ben speeding the both of them out of the Mall, with the way things were going it was about to be getting violent.

Caitlin stood there in the middle of the mall completely shell-shocked. One instant she was there with Barry and Ben, or August, whatever his name was and the next she was all alone. A pit seemed to form in her stomach, a slight twitch of pain. She moved a hand to her stomach as it churned violently. She didn't know if it was just her stomach or perhaps the baby. She felt as if the world was bearing on her shoulders. She was afraid for Barry. She was afraid of Ben. Everything that had transpired in the last few seconds mortified her. How could their son be such a monster?

No. It could not be true. She refused to believe it. She would not. The child growing inside her was not the same person who had been masquerading before them. He could not.

Feeling sick to her stomach, more so than before Caitlin made a beeline towards the exit. Despite her condition she needed to get to S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry was going to need all the help he could get. Within a few minutes Caitlin was exiting the mall and making her way towards her parked car. She and Barry had driven to the Mall mainly because using superspeed was not doing her stomach any favors.

She pulled her keys out of her purse and as she fumbled with them she bumped into another person which resulted in Caitlin dropping her keys and the contents of her purse to spill.

"Damn it…" Caitlin grumbled as she crouched down to pick her things up

"Oh, I am so sorry." The man said as he knelt down next to her and helped pick up her things. "I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

"It's fine." Caitlin said as she reached for her phone. At the same time the young man reached for it, in the moment when their hands touched Caitlin felt what seemed to be a tiny jolt of electricity.

As they both stood up Caitlin got a good look at the young man. He was tall and handsome with short dark brown, borderline black, hair, blue eyes though Caitlin had to note his complexion was rather pale. Other than that, he wore a red flannel underneath a black jacket with an insignia on the right breast.

"You're a fireman?" Caitlin asked when she noticed got a closer look.

"Huh?" The young man looked down and chuckled to himself. "No, I am not a fireman. My dad was. But this, this is from Boy Scouts." Caitlin looked closer and noticed the unmistakable logo in the center. "We do a lot with my home town fire department."

"That's really nice."

"Have we met before?" Caitlin asked. There was something about this man. She felt like she met him and in all honesty, he was making her calmer. "I feel like we've met before."

"Maybe." The young man said he reached out his hand. "Where are my manners, I'm Charlie. Charlie McGrath."

Caitlin looked down for a moment at Charlie's outstretched hand. "Caitlin. Caitlin Snow."

"Caitlin Snow. That's a pretty name. Not that I am trying to flirt or anything I am a horrible filrt. It's just I noticed the ring on your finger are you…"

"Engaged." Caitlin answered.

"Congratulations." He looked like he was about to say more but his phone began to vibrate. "Ah, Well, Caitlin I don't want to keep you from what ever it is you need to do so… I guess I'll be on my way." Charlie offered her a smile as he walked towards the entrance.

"It was nice to meet you Charlie. I hope we'll see each other again."

Charlie offered Caitlin a smile. "I have a feeling we will be seeing each other again." He waved goodbye and disappeared through the doors of the mall leaving Caitlin standing there with a smile.

It was odd. For that tiny moment she had suddenly forgotten all of her problems. It was almost like she now knew that everything would be OK.

Outskirts of Central City

Barry didn't really pay attention to how long he'd been running but he stopped when he slammed Ben into a colossal metallic structure, a windmill. They were now fairly far outside of Central City.

"See what I mean Flash." Ben cracked his neck as he brushed off the impact. "You think you're some kind of shining superhero. But I see you for what you truly are. Savitar was right about you."

"What do you know about Savitar?" Barry demanded.

Ben/August smiled. "I know everything about him Flash. I know more about both of you than you know." He chuckled and pointed at Barry. "A short while ago you asked me who I was. Ask me again."

Barry gritted his teeth. "Who are you?"

"My full name is August Benjamin Heart!" Ben declared as he struck his chest with pride. "I am the son of Savitar and Killer Frost!"

Barry was actually surprised enough to take a literal step back. 'Ben' or rather August was actually Savitar's son, with Killer Frost, Carla Tanhauser. That meant he was Caitlin's Brother. Technically her half brother but her brother none the less.

"You locked my father away in the Speed Force for eternity Flash. He lost his mind many times. And when he was finally freed he didn't recognize me. He was never the same. He was supposed to break you, but instead you broke him." August closed the distance between them and roughly grabbed Barry by the collar. "I vowed that I would never forget what you did to him. I vowed to never forgive you Flash."

Barry broke his grip and pushed August off of him. Immediately Barry punched him across the face before two shots to the stomach and an uppercut to his jaw. August landed on his back but quickly recovered and was back on his feet.

"You know, once he was gone, I knew it was my time. I stepped out of my father's shadow and took my rightful place." Barry watched as the gold-white lightning arced wildly around Ben and roared like a thousand lions. "With my powers I quickly discovered I am Judge, Jury and Executioner. I am the new God of Speed. So, I took the name" Barry watched as the golden white lighting wrapped around Ben's body forming the suit he had seen multiple times. "Godspeed!" Thunder roared and Barry shielded his eyes from the lightning storm falling off of Godspeed.

"Try and catch me Flash!" By the time Barry heard his voice and the woosh Godspeed was already gone leaving a faint trail of gold and white lightning.

"We had a funeral for you!" Barry growled as he struggled to keep pace with the man who pretended to be his son. "We mourned you! Your death broke us!"

"Yes, I know. Iris delivered a very nice eulogy."

"And Lightspeed? What was his role in all of this?"

"A distraction." Godspeed said simply "To beef you up."

"Why!?"

"To make your defeat all the sweeter."

"You'll never catch me Flash, faster speedsters have tried and they're all dead. Despite what you think I have a superior connection to the Speed Force."

"Which you stole form other Speedsters."

"They were wasting their abilities. Not only that but they refused to join me."

"So, you killed them. You were never a hero! You are a murderer!" Barry yelled as he rotated his left arm to try and create a gust of wind to knock Godspeed off of his feet.

"Why? Because I've killed people? Or because you say so? Or is it because of my father?"

"How did you do it Godspeed." Barry demanded. "I saw you die. I saw Speed Demon shove his hand through your chest. Is Speed Demon another identity you created?"

"Oh him? No, no unfortunately he's very real." Godspeed Slid to a stop not too far from Barry. "But you want to know how I faked my death?"

"How'd you do it? Time Remnant?" Barry noticed a slight change in August's Demeanor despite wearing his mask.

"I am not stupid enough to make Time Remnants." Godspeed chuckled. "And it wasn't a Speed Mirage."

"If you didn't use Time Remnants or Speed Mirages how did you fake your death?" Barry asked

"You see Barry, its simple, I am faster than you."Godspeed said.

"So much faster that I can do the one thing all speedsters wish they could do without manipulating time." Barry felt a hand placed on each shoulder and Godspeed's voice in his ear.

"I can be in two places at once"

Barry couldn't believe what he was seeing in front of him was Godspeed, and behind him was also Godspeed. Godspeed-1 rushed in and punched Barry in the face while Godspeed-2 kneed him in the stomach.

One of the Godspeeds grabbed Barry and pinned his arms allowing the other Godspeed to begin wailing on The Flash. Barry only felt the first five punches after that he felt nothing.

S.T.A.R. Labs

Wally was screaming in pain as he was practically restrained on the gurney. He couldn't feel his arm and from the perspective of everyone else it looked a lot like Harry Potters arm after Gilderoy Lockhart removed all the bones, only this was a lot worse with blood and bone fragments everywhere and Wally's skin had turned a sickening purple.

"Damn it where's Caitlin?" Cisco asked as he forced Wally's entire arm into a steel brace to minimize the movements.

"She's on her way." Iris said. Wally's sister couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand. Seeing her little brother in such pain was, for lack of better words, painful. "My dad and Eddie are releasing an APB on Omnivore and the other guy."

"You mean Puppet Master." Wally groaned. "I recognized that mask."

"Hey Dawn, wasn't Puppet Master one of Dad's rouges?" Don asked his sister.

"Yes," Dawn said "Though he didn't show up until after Savitar was defeated."

"How did Barry stop him?" Iris asked. "If you know please tell us."

"He didn't." Dawn simply replied. "Puppet Master was finally defeated by Charlie. When he saved a little girl from him. Damn I wish he was here."

"Yeah…"

"Sorry it took so long for me to get here. Barry and I were…" Caitlin stopped as she entered into her lab to see the crowd of people around Wally. "What happened?" Caitlin asked as she saw Wally's mangled Arm.

"Long Story, problem is Sounds like the Puppet Master is gathering up Meta-Humans."

"What for?"

"Don't know." Dawn said "But it cannot be anything good especially now that he has Omnivore working for him."

"Omnivore?" Caitlin gave a confused look to Cisco.

"He literally is the phrase 'you are what you eat.'" Cisco answered. "He even was able to eat my powers and then mimic them."

"How is that possible?"

"We don't know." Vibe shrugged. "But we need to build a pair of extra large meta-human cuffs. It's weird how all of the evil Meta's we've come across until now have all been thin and relatively good looking."

"It's almost like they're models."

"Or just good-looking actors." Iris added.

"OK everyone who is not named Wally West please leave so I can set up the MRI." Caitlin directed everyone out of the lab so she could get to work.

A few minutes later Caitlin looked over the MRI of Wally's arm and turned back to Wally. "The good news Wally is your arm is already healing."

"I'm afraid to ask what's the bad news."

"Bad news is I have never seen anything this bad. Not even when Barry broke his arm fighting Girder. It is going to take a while to heal. Your arm was so badly broken that we may need to rebreak it several times to make sure it heals properly. The way it looks right now nothing is properly lined up." Caitlin showed him the image.

"How?" Wally asked simply knowing he would most likely not like the answer.

Caitlin offered an apologetic look. "Painfully."

Back with Barry and Godspeed the Heir of Savitar and his double were mercilessly pummeling the Flash into the dirt. There was a sense of euphoria about it.

Barry spat out blood. His entire body was sore. But Barry felt a fury inside of him. August had been lying to them all this time. It was worse than doctor Wells or Hunter. Ben damn might as well have stabbed both Barry and Caitlin in their hearts and twist the blade.

"You should learn to stay down Flash" Godspeed-1 said.

"You'd live a lot longer." Godspeed number two finished

"You work for Savitar? You're his son?"

"Damn right."

"How?"

"Well Flash, when a man and a woman love each other very much-" Godspeed-2 spoke in a mocking tone.

"He doesn't need to know the details." Godspeed-1 said to his clone. "But I will tell you, I am here to finish what my Father started."

"I mean… how can you be his son?" Barry groaned. "We trapped him in the Speed Force."

"Oh, that. I'm sure the brats told you he was freed."

"If only we took their speed."

"Still can, by taking yours Flash."

"Not going to happen." Barry was back on his feet.

"Oh, didn't I tell you already Flash? When we race, you won't have a choice." Godspeed was about to begin running when there was a flash of lightning and a roar of thunder. Barry watched as both Godspeeds clutched their heads before seemingly fuse together painfully. "AAAAAHH! DAMN IT!" He dropped to his knees in pain.

Despite everything Barry felt the tiniest amount of concern. "Ben… are you okay?"

"Concerned about me Flash?" Godspeed asked. His mask was gone, exposing the face of Ben. "I'm touched." He seemed to shake off his discomfort moments later. "Unfortunately, as useful as it is to be in multiple places at once it hurts after a while."

"Good." Barry charged up the lightning around his hand and threw it at Godspeed hitting him square in the chest.

Godspeed was once again on his feet clutching his chest, a golden lightning charged in his eyes before charging the Flash and grabbing him by the throat. "I'd kill you where you stand Flash if I needed you alive. Instead, I am going to break you. And I know how to do it." Godspeed pulled Barry up close and personal. "Let's go pay your fiancé a visit."

S.T.A.R. Labs, Cortex

Once Caitlin had reset the bones in Wally's arm to the best of her ability Caitlin left Kid Flash to rest and joined the rest of the Team in the Cortex to plan their next move. She had to tell them about Ben/August.

"Where's Barry?" Iris asked beating Caitlin to her explanation. "Wasn't he with you?"

"He was. I mean…" Caitlin bit her lip and played with her ring. She took a deep breath. "We ran into Ben." Everyone in the room was silent.

"What?" Dawn asked completely shocked. "Didn't you guys say this Ben Allen was dead?"

"He was… I mean… I don't know…" Caitlin said. "But… Ben's not…"

There was a whoosh and a clap of thunder. Everyone was thrown back by the sound pressure alone. The moment Caitlin felt the sound pressure she was over come with terror for the baby growing inside her. She wrapped her arms around her stomach. Iris grabbed a hold of Caitlin to steady her.

Standing in the middle of the wrecked Medical Lab was Godspeed holding Barry by the collar of his suit. Barry was bloodied but still conscious and trying to fight off Godspeed's grip.

"Barry!" Caitlin and Iris screamed in unison.

"Godspeed." Don growled.

Barry grabbed a fist full of Godspeed's right arm and pulled. There was a ripping noise as Barry tore off a bit of a chunk of Godspeed's suit and some of the skin beneath.

"What that?" Barry and the rest of the team caught a glimpse of cold metal beneath Godspeed's arm.

"Damn it." Godspeed threw Barry into Cisco and Joe. Godspeed glanced down at his exposed metallic arm.

"A metal arm?" Dawn wondered aloud. Back in their time through all their battle with Godspeed they had never seen him suffer any kind of wound. Not even so much as a scratch. Somehow, he had been wounded enough to warrant a metallic arm.

Godspeed looked around as he was surrounded by The Flash, The Tornado Twins, Vibe and a wounded Kid Flash. It brought a smiled to his face. He liked the idea of taking on the entirety of Team Flash while still predominantly in its infancy.

"You all want to fight?" Godspeed chuckled. "I like that you are all so eager but I came for one thing, and one thing only." He turned directly to Caitlin. "Savitar thought killing Iris west would break you, but I know the truth."

Caitlin watched it happen in slow motion. Godspeed dropped Barry and ran towards her with his golden-white lightning flowing behind him. Barry was right behind him, but nowhere near close enough to intercept Godspeed.

Instinctively she covered her stomach with her left hand and closed her eyes. She was terrified and could not contain the tears spilling down her cheeks. She didn't know why Godspeed was heading for her, but it made her terrified, for herself, for Barry and for their baby.

Iris' arms seemed to try and tighten around Caitlin's shoulders protectively but it was far too little far too late.

Caitlin felt a pair of strong arms scoop her up from the side, immediately she felt safe and warm as she instinctively moved closer into the chest of her savior. The rush of wind in her hair was oddly soothing but the faint terrified screams of her name from her friends were the last things she heard.
