A/N: Hey guys! Welcome to Resurrection chapter 8! The reason that I got this out much earlier than I had planned was because of Labor day giving me an inordinate amount of time to write. Also, WE JUST PASSED 4000 VIEWS! Thank you guys SO MUCH for your continued support for this story. As always, please be sure to review!

Barry, after running to a store to grab some clothes, arrived at Joe's house. The rage of whatever happened to Joe was still boiling in him. Barry walked up to the steps leading up to Joe's house. Guarding them were two officers, both from when Barry was alive. He walked up to them, head tilted down and carrying a briefcase with his equipment, and spoke.

"Let me into the house," Barry said, lowering his tone. The officers stiffened.

"Sir, I can't let you in. It's a crime scene right now," One of the officers said.

"I said," Barry began, raising his head to look directly into the officers' eyes, "Let me into my father's house." Immediately both stumbled backward.

"Barry? Is that you?" The other asked, then continued, "Listen, I'm sorry, but we can't let you in. You're no longer on the job, although I'm sure that Singh will let you back on."

"In that case, I'm sorry," Barry said.

"For what?"

"This," Barry spoke as he raised both of his hands to the faces of the officers. Immediately, Barry snapped his fingers with a jolt of lightning, sending the two men to the ground, unconscious. Barry continued to walk up the stairs and into the house.

Barry saw numerous faces that he recognized. Singh was speaking to a detective to the side, and a few officers were talking to each other near the doorway. Barry didn't give them time to stop him, walking straight up the stairs to the bedrooms. He went into Joe's room and saw blood nearly everywhere. Also in the room was what he could only assume was another CSI. The man stood up and addressed Barry.

"Hey so- wait, who are you? You're not allowed up here." The CSI said, before promptly being sent unconscious by Barry. He walked over to the bed and viewed the scene.

Almost the entire bed was covered in blood, the pillow covered the most. Barry found bits of metal scattered around the pillow. He placed them into an evidence bag and continued searching for clues. He then found a hair, too long to be Joe's. He placed that into an evidence bag as well. Barry decided that he was here for long enough, and ran out of the house.


Barry stopped at S.T.A.R. Labs where the entire team was still gathered. When Barry arrived everyone turned to look at him.

"Where did you go?" Cisco asked, noticing the more formal clothes on Barry.

"The crime scene. They must have taken him to the hospital by the time I got there." Barry said.

"Wait, you went unmasked?! Who saw you?" Caitlin asked, shocked that he revealed himself to even more people.

"Two officers standing by the door and the CSI in his room. I knocked them all out, and no one will actually believe them if they say that they saw me."

"Well, what did you get while you were there?" Cisco asked.

"Some bits of metal and a hair." Barry pulled out both bags from his briefcase. "Caitlin, can you run these? I need to speak with someone."

"Yeah, sure," Caitlin said as she took both bags and walked off to the lab. Barry turned to the rest of the team.

"I'm gonna speak to the speed force, see if there's anything special that I should know about the case." Barry then sped off back into the speed force.

When he arrived, he found himself in Joe's house, with Iris in front of him.

"Hey, Barry," Iris said, turning from her place on the couch to look at him. "I take it that you're here about the attack on Joe?"

"Yes."

"Follow me." Iris stood up and walked out the front door with Barry following. The door opened into his old lab.

"The man who attacked your father is named Delmond Downs. He has a doctorate in theoretical physics. He was working on a project with wormholes when the particle accelerator exploded. Those mixed with the substance that he was working with to form a certain 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' scenario. Recently, he was completely corrupted by his evil counterpart, and has been trying his hardest to fight back ever since."

"Does he have any powers that I should know about?"

"None."

"Oh. Well, that's gonna be easy."

"Not so fast. He does have one thing that you should know about. He is a master of stealth. Not only is he like a shadow, but he is invisible to our method of vibrating an area."

"Oh. Well, let's hope that I can find him before another person is attacked. By the way, does Joe live?"

"Yes, but he is severely injured and will be in a coma for 3 months."

"Fun. Alright, put me back."

"Of course." A portal opened beside him, and he stepped out. He arrived back at S.T.A.R. Labs and ran to the cortex. Caitlin was just about to pull up the results of the scan when he arrived.

"Alright. The name of the attacker is Delmond Downs. He was last seen entering his lab about... three hours before the Particle Accelerator explosion. The metal bit you found appear to be from an axe. Barry, what did you learn from the speed force?"

"Apparently he was once a good man, even had a doctorate in theoretical physics. However, when a project he was working on mixed with the explosion, he started becoming evil. They described it as a 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' scenario. He doesn't have any powers, other than some tech that blocks him from my ability to vibrate an area to create a map." Barry explained, addressing the team. "Also, the speed force said that Joe would be fine, but he will be in a coma for a few months." At this Iris sighed in relief.

After a moment of silence, the klaxons sounded, alerting the team of an attack. Cisco jumped into action, swiping away at the keyboard.

"Okay, the metahuman app says that people are reporting a large monster walking through the streets. A description of the creature says that he is covered in what looks like many sharp bones, and appears to have no skin, only muscles." Cisco looked up at Barry to see if he recognized the description. Barry looked up in thought, squinting his eyes.

"Is there a picture?" Barry asked.

"Let me look... Here!" Cisco said as he sent the picture to the front screens. The picture showed a Hulk-like figure that was a pale white. Bones were shooting out from every which way. His eyes were glowing red, and two horns were shooting out. He seemed to have a beard of bone, along with jagged teeth. Bary sighed after he recognized the beast.

"I know what that is. It's one of the Doomsday clones." The team looked confused so he continued. "About two years before my return, I was sent on a mission to Kara's earth. An organization found remnants of a creature from another universe. They used the DNA to create an army of those things," Barry pointed at the screen. " We were able to shut down the cloning machine and kill about half of the army. However, their creators had a backup plan. To wreck havoc, they sent the reminders all throughout the multiverse and time. This must have been one of them. Luckily, the speed force sent some enforcers to kill the rest, so we should have backup."

"How powerful are they?" Caitlin asked.

"Very. In one universe, a single one almost wiped out the entire Justice League, a group of all the superheroes there."

"Yikes. You sure you wanna do this?" Wally asked.

"I have to. If given the time to evolve, he could single-handedly wipe out the all the armies on the earth. Either way, I'll have an enforcer to aid me. Get in position. Wally, Jesse, stay here. I'll be able to deal with it."

"You sure?" Jesse asked, "It sounds like you'll need all the help that you can get."

"An enforcer and I will be enough. Alright, let's do it." Barry finished before speeding into his speed force gear and running to the scene.


When Barry arrived at the scene, he was able to get a good look at the creature. He looked to be fairly new, not really evolved yet. Just as Barry was about to fight, Cisco called through the comms.

"Barry! A breach is opening above you!" Barry looked up and saw the breach. Why would the breach open there? Unless... Barry thought as he saw what he was thinking. Out of the breach flew a figure. It looked around until it spotted Barry.

"What is that?" Caitlin asked, looking at the chest cam. Eventually, the figure landed. It was a man with wings and attire similar to Barry's but was more suited to open combat instead of stealth. The man walked towards Barry.

"Wraith! How are you here? Wait, is this after you were released back into your time?"

"Yup. How's it been Phoenix? I haven't seen you since you left for this mission."

"That's because I'm being released also! The Overseers said that this was my last mission. I would have gone back to my time but I don't really have anything to return to, so I decided to come here!"

"Awesome! So, how are we going to take this guy down?"

"Well, what about an infinite mass punch?"

"No, there would be too many casualties if I were to do that. You got any ideas?"

"Well, I was just gonna try to fight it like we did on the raid on the creator's base, but since you're here I've got a better idea."

"What is it?" Barry asked as Phoenix glanced back at Doomsday. It moved slowly, not realizing that it was about to be fighting.

"Alright. It will take some time, but it should take him down and hopefully not destroy the entire city in nuclear fire."

"Hopefully?"

"Look, if we do it right, it will work. First, you will need to distract him. Fight with him while I charge up a fire core. Once it's charged I'll hand it to you. My energy will mostly be drained, but I should be able to distract it for a moment. You won't have long, and the core could explode at any moment, so be careful but swift. Phase into Doomsday and leave it near his heart. If done properly his body should contain the blast and the radiation, although the cleaners will be getting Doomsday gut's out of the, well, everything for a few months." Barry nodded his head.

Phoenix closed his eyes and took in a deep breath and exhaled. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes to reveal two balls of blue flame covering his eyes. He rotated his shoulders, forcing the building energy to them. Suddenly, in a purely beautiful display, blue flames started creeping along his white wings. He extended them out to their fullest extent, making the length of both wings reaching over 30 feet. Eventually, the entirety of his wings was coated in the blue flame. Soon after, the flames spread from his back to his front and arms, coating them in a red flame. The flame spread to his legs, eventually coating him like armor. Lastly, the red flame shot up into his face, not creeping like the rest of it. His red face and body was in stark contrast to his blue eyes and wings.

The team back at S.T.A.R. Labs was mesmerized at the sight of the man flaming up. It brought a picture of Ronnie to Caitlin, giving her a sad smile.

Phoenix stretched his arms out and turned his hands, palms facing one another, and began channeling energy. As soon as the energy started leaving his body, Doomsday felt the power source. He turned and began charging towards Phoenix. Barry and Phoenix both nodded at each other. Barry then ran in front of Doomsday, trying to grab his attention.

"Hey! Down here!" Barry called. Doomsday stopped short, turning towards Barry. "Come on! Fight me!" Barry yelled as he began speeding around Doomsday at around Mach 10, just so that there would be some lightning behind him. Doomsday started swinging, quite fast for a creature his size. Barry simply ran, more than fast enough to dodge his attacks. Eventually, Doomsday started getting bored and started charging back at Phoenix. Barry noticed this and began throwing lightning at him at an amazing speed. Doomsday immediately turned and began charging at Barry once again.

"It's ready!" Phoenix shouted, obviously tired from putting that much energy outside of his body. Barry ran from where he was and grabbed the core. It was a ball of pure light. Blue, red, yellow, and white were swirling around.

"Once again, careful with it," Phoenix said before summoning a sword and whip of flame and charged at Doomsday. Barry, on the other hand, readied himself to run with the most volatile substance in the multiverse. After a moment, he ran.

Wind and electricity rushed passed him as he ran and jumped into Doomsday. Barry focused his vibrations and released his grip on the core. It started to fall right next to the heart, just like Phoenix said. As soon as he ran out, Barry ran up the next building and jumped off, grabbing Phoenix and falling to the ground. Barry broke a few bones, but they were healed before Barry could even feel the pain. He ran up to the top of another building and dropped Phoenix onto it. They both looked down at the ground and waited. After a moment, Doomsday started glowing. After another, He was all over the road, buildings, and nearby cars.

"Well. You were right." Barry said to Phoenix.

"About what?"

"That when we were finished, Doomsday would be everywhere."

"Oh. Yeah." Both of them laughed. Barry then addressed the team.

"Alright. We're coming home. Caitlin, prepare a bed for Phoenix. He's drained of his energy for now."

"Of course."

Phoenix removed his flames and flew.


Barry ran back to S.T.A.R. Labs as Phoenix flew overhead. Pheonix arrived a moment after Barry did, following where Barry ran, finding himself in the cortex.

Phoenix walked into the cortex, being greeted with Barry, Caitlin, Cisco, and Harry. The others had either gone home or went to the hospital. Caitlin waved to Phoenix.

"I take it you're Phoenix? Follow me." Caitlin nodded towards the med bay. Phoenix followed, folding his wings into his back, disappearing as if they weren't even there. He laid down on the bed as Caitlin started asking him questions as Cisco, Harry, and Barry listened.

"So, what are you? Meta-human?"

"No. I come from the planet Jewel. We are what most call 'Fire Angels'. Long ago my planet was in a war. I stopped it, but in turn killed both the enemies and the rest of my people. I managed to escape. Now, I'm the last of them, and they all died by my hand. I use that as encouragement, making sure that no one else has to feel the pain and the loss that I felt."

"Wow," Caitlin said as she began doing a usual health check up. "How do you know Barry, and how did you come to work for the speed force? Also, what should we call you?"

"We worked together as allies for the majority of our time for the Overseers, or what you call the speed force. After I managed to recover from the loss enough to work, I became a free lancer. Eventually, the speed force found me and offered me a job. After that, I found Barry and we became amazing friends and teammates on most missions. My old name was Samandriel, but you can call me Sam."

"Cool. Alright, your overall health looks good, except for a large gash in your stomach. I assume that you are also extremely drained?"

"Yes. After we deal with that I can heal the gash on my stomach with no problem. Barry?" Sam said, turning towards Barry with a sheepish look on his face. Barry responded with a questioning one before realizing what he was asking and replaced it with a pained one.

"What? What's wrong?" Cisco asked.

"Usually, to recharge him I would give him a ton of my energy since mine regenerates almost instantaneously. Thing is though, it hurts. A lot. The Parietal lobe, for some reason, is sent into overdrive, providing literally the most pain a mind can make. For a comparison, female speedsters have stated that trading energy is more painful than childbirth one hundred-fold." Barry stated, looking at Cisco and Caitlin for their reactions. Cisco's eyes were wide in shock, and Caitlin looked horrified.

"Won't that kill you?!" Caitlin said, doctor mode kicking in.

"Nope. Over 40 years I have developed quite the tolerance for pain. That doesn't mean it hurts any less, it just means that I can't die from it. In this case, I'm not sure if that's a good thing. But, it needs to be done in case there's another attack. Luckily for him, it feels like a gunshot, nothing more." Barry finished.

"Alright," Sam said, "Everyone stand back." Sam got up from the bed, clutching his stomach as he walked up to Barry. His wings sprung out but weren't at full length. Sam reached out his hand as Barry grabbed onto his wrist, with Sam doing the same.

"Ready?" Barry asked.

"Yeah. Good luck." Sam said as they began working. At the beginning, all they could see was lightning dancing around Barry furiously, while Sam's eyes and hands were covered in a blue flame. Nothing was said until Barry let out a horrific scream, ringing throughout the cortex. Barry started falling to his knees, screaming even louder. The electricity dancing around Barry began jumping over to Sam.

Barry felt nothing at first. Then, once he felt the connection, the pain sprung to life. Every cell in his body was being ripped apart and put back together again. The pain was unimaginable. First, it felt like his head was exploding. Nails and fire and slams all at once a million times over would be an understatement. Then, the pain shot to the rest of his body, igniting him in an inferno. After minutes of pain and suffering, it stopped. Barry collapsed to the ground and curled up into a ball.

"Barry!" Caitlin shouted, running over to him with Cisco just behind. She checked his pulse and sighed in relief discovering that he was alive. She moved to pick him up, and along with Cisco's help brought him over to the bed.

Sam removed the shirt part of his suit and revealed a long and deep gash that was bleeding horribly. Sam raised his hand and lit it up in a blue flame. This time, however, it didn't give off heat, like the other times he was ignited. Also, the flames seemed to be pulled towards the gash. Once his hand was close enough, the flames started dancing across the gash. As the flames touched it, the wound started healing nearly instantly, the two sides melding together. eventually, the gash was gone, as if it was never there in the first place. the only sign was the blood that was all over him.

"Woah. How did you do that?" Cisco asked, walking up to him and inspecting the previous location of the wound.

"I have the ability to produce two flames. One is red. That is the one that I can create with. Things like armor, weapons, shields, whips, and more. Then there's the blue flame. It will always be the color on my wings and eyes. The blue flame seems to have a seemingly magical power to it. Also, I can heal myself and others of wounds from small cuts to life-threatening injuries. The blue flame, if there is enough of it, could theoretically bring someone back from the dead. I would just have to coat my entire body in it, which at this point is nearly impossible. I just don't have the energy storage to do so."

"Huh. Cool." Cisco said, trying to act nonchalant about the whole thing.

"Do you guys have anything else to wear?" Sam asked, wanting to get out of his gear.

"Yeah. Here." Cisco ran and grabbed a S.T.A.R. Labs T-shirt and sweatpants and gave it to Sam. Sam extended his wings and sounded himself in them as he changed. When he opened his wings again, he was dressed in the clothes that Cisco gave him. Cisco was turned away, tense.

"What?" Sam asked, oblivious to the awkwardness he just started.

"No-nothing. Just... look, I get that you're covering yourself, but please leave the room before getting naked." Cisco said, turning back around.

"Okay," Sam said. Suddenly, the klaxons started blaring again, causing both Caitlin and Barry to run out of the med-bay.

"What is it?" Barry asked Cisco, who sat in his chair and began searching for the cause.

"Another attack by our favorite Axeman," Cisco said, looking up at Barry who had a raised eyebrow.

"Seriously? We're naming him after the serial killer? Also, I thought that you were good with names?"

"Just shut up and get to the crime scene!"
