Hi everyone. So sorry for the delay. Was just so busy with personal life. I hope you all enjoy. By the way TFS is back! I hope this isn't the end.

Barry couldn't quite believe what had just happened. One minute he was witnessing the destruction of Earth. Now the speedster was standing in his hometown hours before those events ever transpired. A million questions raced through his head. Barry wanted to sit down. It felt like all the oxygen was racing out his body. However before he could answer any of his burning questions, a large crowd was seen running away from something. That's when it clicked. He had travelled back to before the battle with Victor Stone. Barry ran towards the standoff between Victor and the police. Victor looked in agony as the police officers surrounded him. One officer took a step forward, Barry's eyes widened as he noticed that she was the officer Victor killed. Without hesitation Barry threw himself at her. Pushing the officer away before the Cyborg could commit murder.
"You... saved my life!" The policewoman graciously thanked the Scarlet Speedster. Who awkwardly backed off after noticing he was on top of her.
"No worries, Officer... Spivot." Barry responded, looking at her name tag. The policewoman graciously hugged the speedster. Again Barry awkwardly went along with it. Soon though, their moment was interrupted by a screaming Cyborg. "I'm just gonna deal with that." The hero of Central City once again faced this terrified man. "Victor?" The student looked at Barry in confusion.
"How do you know my name?" Victor asked.
"I recognise you from your football games." That was a half lie, of course. "I'm here to help you Victor."
"Please... make it stop!" Victor's armed suddenly turned into a cannon. The police scrambled, aiming their guns at the cyborg. Barry knew this could be bad, instinctively disarming them all.
"Everyone stay back, I can handle this!" The officers all did as Barry said. The speedster smiling as he turned back to the former football player. "Just you and me."
"I can't control it."
"Yes you can Victor, I believe in you." The man with robotic parts stared in bewilderment.
"You don't even know me."
"Maybe not, but I can tell you don't wish to hurt me." The lightning from Barry's body began to wane. Everyone looked up in shock as the speedster stood there with his arms spread out. "And to prove that I'm right, I won't dodge." Victor's cannon began to power up. Aiming right at the man in red.
"Please don't do this." Flash though had already seen him do it once. He knew Victor could do it again.
"You can do this Victor. At the end of the day it's just a machine. All it needs is a human to control it." The football player closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His mind was displaying a bunch of numbers. At first glance it was a bunch of gibberish. However after further inspection it somehow started to make sense. It suddenly became as easy to decipher as breathing air. Victor's cannon soon depowered. Flash felt very relived by this new development.
"Thank you." The Scarlet speedster nodded as he quickly escorted Victor away from every police officer.
.
Barry and Victor found themselves on the roof of Central City's museum. The two were watching the city, while eating some pizza. Victor laughed as Barry was scoffing down two at once.
"Alright two questions. One, why do you have five pizza's? And two, how are you able to afford that many?" Victor questioned the speedster. Who chuckled at that question.
"Well due my metabolism i have to eat around twenty times the amount of a normal human being. And when you constantly save people from robberies and muggings. They tend to wanna repay your efforts. Thank you Mr Corleone." The two laughed, Barry started to feel overwhelmed. "Still can't believe I'm talking to the Victor Stone."
"You're a fan?"
"Hell yeah. I'm not that into sports. But I used to watch a lot your games in my spare time. You were the best." Barry suddenly realised his error. "Are... you are the best!"
"No your right. I was the best."
"Well maybe you still can be." Victor sarcastically chuckled at that response.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure all these metal parts are illegal in an NFL game." Barry though wasn't giving up.
"Well maybe you just need to find something else."
"Easy for you to say, you don't look like this."
"You're right, I don't look like that. But that doesn't mean I don't know what your going through." Victor looked at him, interested in what he had to say. "When I was younger I always dreamed of working in star labs. The anatomy of humans always fascinated me." Barry wanted to trust Victor. But knew he couldn't go into too much detail. "One night I witnessed a crime that a loved one was wrongly convicted of. Ever since that day I pledged to free him from prison. So I took a job in law enforcement." Victor put his metallic hand on Barry, comforting him.
"You had to give up your dream so you could bring the real perpetrator to justice?"
"At first it was hard, I cried myself to sleep every night. Eventually though I came to terms with what happened. Everyone gets knocked down from time to time. But the way I see it. You can either stay down and let life push you around. Or you can fight back." Before either of them could continue however an alarm went off from Barry's phone.
"What's that?" Victor looked over confused.
"That means we're about to have some visitors. In five, four, three, two and one." All of a sudden Goku and Superman teleported into view. Victor almost fell of the roof in shock. While Barry was unfazed.
"Ba..." Clark tried to talk to the speedster, until he noticed the football player. "Sorry Flash, I didn't realise you had company."
"No worries. Guys, allow me to introduce you to Victor Stone." Barry stated. Victor these are my friends, Superman and... um..." The Saiyan suddenly stepped forward.
"Hi, I'm Goku." Clark wanted to facepalm.
"We really need to get you a codename." The Kryptonian pointed out. "Anyway it's a pleasure to meet you Victor." Clark extended his hand which was met cautiously by an overwhelmed Victor.
"They just... appeared." These were the only three words the cyborg could muster up. Still not believing what he was seeing. Barry meanwhile went straight to business.
"You want me to help you look for Gohan and Kara, cause Goku could sense them in the city?" Barry stated, leaving both aliens bewildered.
"How did you know that? Do you know where they are?" The reporter asked.
"No clue. But I do have quite the story to tell." Barry then explained everything that happened. Finishing with his trip through time. After the story nobody could say a word. Victor was even more baffled than before. Even Goku was little shaken by Barry's warning.
"So we lost?"
"Yeah, but it's ok." All three looked at him. "We've been given a second chance to win."
"Do you know where Turles is?" Goku inquired, cracking his knuckles. "I still wanna fight him."
"No idea, he was somewhere in a jungle. But that's like looking for a needle in a haystack. We got there before, because Gohan turned up. So we used Goku's instant transmission to find him."
"Are you saying we have no choice but to wait for Gohan?" Clark asked.
"I'm afraid so. What we can do though is gather some reinforcements."
"Sounds good, can you get a hold of Green Lantern?" Barry shook his head.
"He's off planet right now. We could try Aquaman?"
"He's currently in talks with the U.N. I tried to get a hold of Batman earlier, but neither he or Robin were available." Superman turned to the Saiyan. "What about Krillin?"
"He, Tien and Yamcha went to train on King Kai's planet. However I do know where Vegeta is." Goku answered.
"You'd think he'd help?" Superman asked, making Goku think about it long and hard.
"Well if we promise him a strong opponent he'll come. Though that means I won't get a chance to fight."
"It's better than nothing. Where's Vegeta now?" Goku placed his middle and index fingers on the forehead. Taking a deep breath, he searched for his fellow Saiyan.
"Got it, he seems to be at Kame house. Everyone grab on." Superman instantly put his hand on Goku's shoulder. While Flash was in the process of doing the same, Victor stepped up. The former football player pivoted his foot in awkwardness, unsure of what to say.
"Can I... join you guys?" He whispered. The others looked at him surprised. "I don't have anywhere to go, and I owe Flash everything."
"This isn't going to be a pleasant trip Victor. Some of us might not be making it back." Superman informed him. However the young man remained defiant.
"I know. And I'm prepared to do anything to help."
"The more the merrier!" Goku excitedly said. Victor smiled as he joined the others. Truth be told he had no idea what life would bring him now. But these guys didn't seem so bad.

Vegeta was feeling humiliated. He was the Saiyan Prince, strongest race in his universe. And here he was losing to a girl. Diana had been a strong sparring partner. However since the time traveller came, she had improved not only her speed and strength but her skill too. Meanwhile Vegeta's only focus was to achieve the one thing he strived towards. Becoming a Super Saiyan. It felt like after every step he took, his prize moved further away.
The two were sparring on the beach next to Kame house. Roshi was on his sun-bed trying to get a tan. Diana hovered above the prince, looking smug.
"Come on, you can do better than that!" She taunted, placing her feet on the beach. "You'll never be able to beat Goku at this rate." Roshi looked up in terror before running inside. Vegeta stared at the Amazon with fury. No one tells him, he can't beat Kakarot. Vegeta's power sky rocketed. He charged at Diana with all his might, launching a fist. However to everyone's surprise Goku and the others appeared out of thin air. Vegeta could do nothing as his fist slammed into Goku's cheek. Though the Saiyan probably wouldn't have moved even if he could have. The prince laughed hysterically as Barry helped Goku up.
"I so wish someone recorded that." Vegeta smugly paraded.
"Nice to see you too, Vegeta." Goku responded, somehow still in his cheery mood. Diana flew over to meet them.
"Goku, what a pleasant surprise. Flash, Superman..." Diana stopped when she noticed Victor. "I'm sorry I don't believe we've met." Victor sheepishly extended his hand.
"Victor Stone."
"Diana, princess of..." Before Diana could say anymore, Barry quickly intervened.
"Prince... Diana Prince." Before The Amazon could correct him, Roshi came out of his home, much more relaxed.
"I now know how Bulma feels everyday." He quipped. Suddenly someone appeared behind Roshi. A man in his late twenties, with white skin, brown hair and eyes. He wore a black t-shirt and cream trousers. "Oh I almost forgot. Everyone I'd like you to meet my newest student, Max." The man bowed his head.
"Good to meet you all."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Goku!" The father of Gohan responded in his usual cheery self. He then turned to his former master. "I thought you were retiring?" Roshi chuckled.
"I maybe too old to fight, but teaching isn't a problem. Besides the kid has a way with words." Roshi explained. "By the way have you finished with the milk, Max?" He turned to his current student.
"Well not yet!" He replied, rubbing the back of his head. "I'll get to it." Max rushed off to the other side of Roshi's island in a hurry. Everyone laughed, except Vegeta, who was getting impatient.
"Alright enough with the chit chat. Why is it that you have interrupted my sparring session Kakarot? Afraid I'll surpass you?" The Saiyan Prince mocked his rival.
"Oh I'm looking forward to the day you turn Super Saiyan, Vegeta. Right now though we... um... where to start." Goku tried to explain. However Barry, Clark and Victor all facepalmed at his attempt.
"How about I explain." Barry interjected. "Now you guys may want to sit down, cause this is one hell of a story."

So did you all enjoy? Please leave a review!
Reviews:
1: I felt it would make a great dynamic that Gohan would take more from Superman than his own father.
2: Thanks
DragonDave45:
1: No minions I'm afraid. I want to get across that this is the only option left for them. They truly are that desperate.
2: I'm not going to do manhunters. Because I have the androids and another robotic arc. I didn't want another robot arc.
Aguy1013: I try to average 2000 words a chapter.

SailorDragonball87: Time travel remember. So those events haven't happened yet.
Guest 1: That would be true for most characters. However due to the speed force Barry can do it at much slower speeds.
Guest 2: gonna be another arc I'm afraid. It will hopefully be worth it though.
xXx: I'm glad you noticed that. There is a very good reason for that though. I can't explain however due to spoilers.
Guest 3: Joe and Iris will definitely be in. Although they won't be farther and daughter. I want to include Wally, however I don't think I have the space and time to do him justice.
Caliban Super Saiyan zero: This is a popular request.
Guest 4: Oh the crime syndicate, my apologies. I have something similar planned.
Guest 5: The only other movie I'll be doing is Broly.
Guest 6: As of this chapter the Super Broly movie hasn't come out. So it's going to be based on classic Broly. Unless I like the super Broly so much I change the story a bit.
