A/N: Welcome to Resurrestion chapter 11! Sorry for the wait, but PSAT was this past week so, yeah. As always, please follow and review. My goal is, once again, 5 reviews. As an incentive, I will start responding to reviews in the later chapters, unless it is about a fix that I made. Enjoy! Disclaimer: I do not own DC, CW, or any of its shows and characters. I do, however, own the plot of Resurrection.

Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, the team was awaiting Barry and Sam's return. After a moment, a portal of fire appeared and Barry, along with Sam, stepped out.

"Alright. First thing's first. What have you guys found out about the guy?" Barry asked.

"Well, Jacob Johnson is a 22-year-old nobody. Apparently, he dropped out of high school at 16 to care for his little sister after their mother lost her job. That doesn't sound like a person who would want to challenge the Flash." Caitlin explained, pulling up the information they had found on their perp.

"Also, what was that out there?" Cisco asked, leaning back in his chair. "Your chest cameras weren't working and we couldn't get a good view of the people who appeared." A painful second passed before Barry explained.

"The man that was able to project some kind of illusion. For me, he projected..." Barry closed his eyes, visibly strained. "my mom. For Sam, he projected his wife from Jewel. Peniel. Or Penny. It seems that he wanted to see how we would react to seeing our weaknesses. Obviously, Sam was stronger, so he will probably try to find other ways to make him fail."

"Wow. Well, he didn't seem to want to hurt anybody. Maybe he just wants to get to you." Harry added.

"Maybe," Barry said.

"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you guys! I've been thinking, why don't we get everyone together and have a massive Christmas party! It is the first Christmas since Barry came back." Cisco shouted, excited.

"I guess, sure. Where will we host it though?" Barry asked. "I mean, Joe is still comatose, and even then, if we go through with my idea, it won't nearly have enough room."

"What is your idea?" Wally asked.

"Alright. We get team Arrow, team Flash, team Supergirl, and team Legends, and have the biggest superhero Christmas party in the multiverse!" Barry exclaimed, surprisingly enthusiastic. Cisco slowly grew a large ear-to-ear grin.

"YES! That is amazing! We should start right now! We can host it at the hangar that you own!" Cisco shouted, jumping out of his chair.

"Cool! Alright, Sam and I will start inviting people to the party. You guys should go start setting up. We have one week, everybody!"

"Where are we going to get all the decorations for an entire hangar?!" Caitlin asked, clearly overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, I'll handle that," Cisco responded smugly.

"One question," Sam asked. Everyone turned to look, considering he hadn't spoken during the entire conversation. "What is Christmas?"

Barry sped into his Wraith gear, just to be safe, and opened a breach to Earth-38. He and Sam stepped in and appeared at the top of a building. Barry walked over to the edge and looked over. Below him was Supergirl surrounded by people all wearing kryptonite armor and using guns with kryptonite bullets. Barry was about to move but Sam held him back.

"Wait," Sam said, watching the scene unfold below him. After a moment, people started shooting. Kara grabbed most of them but some hit her. One right above her heart, one through her side, and one through her right thigh. She immediately fell to the ground.

Barry and Sam moved simultaneously. Barry stopped right beside Kara, and Sam landed on the opposite side, kneeling.

"Get to healing her. I wanna have some fun." Barry said, making his voice sound demonic. Sam nodded and flamed up, surrounding both himself and Kara. Barry drew his knife.

"Run," Barry said, voice still masked. The men looked at each other nervously, before raising their guns at Barry. "Wrong move." Barry dashed forward and stabbed the man in front of him with his blade. He then turned and asked, "Would you like to try again?" The men quickly started running away from Barry. Barry chuckled before grabbing each of them and running them out to a desert. He then ran back and grabbed some rope and tied them together.

"You all hurt my friend. Almost killed her. I'm going to give you the fate you tried to give her." Barry grabbed one of the men, ran him to a safe distance, and returned. Barry focused, channeling all of his energy into his hand. He could feel it getting denser every nanosecond. After a moment, Barry dashed forward. His fist was now as dense as a white dwarf star. He was punching with infinite mass.

His fist collided with the man in front of him, causing an explosion the size of a couple thousand hydrogen bombs. This would have wiped out everything in a couple thousand miles, but the speed force prevented it from doing so. Barry was able to withstand it because of the barrier created by the speed force. The men, however, could not. They were instantly obliterated, only leaving behind a large crater. Barry ran back to the other man and grabbed him by the throat.

"You are going to run back to your superiors and tell them all that happened here. Got it?"

"Y-yes! Please don-" Barry knocked the man unconscious and ran back to Sam.

Sam, meanwhile, was busy trying to save Kara's life. He created a knife and cut away the top part of her suit. Sam shifted, giving himself a better angle to work with. He closed his eyes for a second, before opening them again. His eyes now had a much larger flame. He was able to see inside her body, allowing him to see the severity of the wounds. Both shots to the torso were still inside, and the shot to the leg had passed through. Sam hovered his hand over her heart. He used the energy inside of him to create a flame inside the wound. Sam drew the flame upward, the bullet rising along with it.

The bullet came out of the wound, allowing Sam to fully heal it. He then did the same for the side wound and only healed the leg wound. Barry arrived just as Sam finished up.

"Let's bring her back to her apartment," Barry said. Sam nodded and stepped away from Kara. Barry grabbed her and ran to the apartment.

Barry grabbed a random shirt from her closet and put it on her, before laying her on the couch. Sam arrived a moment later. He hid his wings and walked up to Kara.

"So, now what?" Sam asked

"We wait for her to wake up. Make sure she isn't attacked or has other injuries that you didn't-"

"Hey, Kara I brought-" Alex walked in to find Barry and Sam standing over Kara, Barry still wearing his mask. In a move fast enough to challenge Barry, Alex dropped the bag of food that she was carrying and drew her pistol. "Who the hell are you?! Back away from her!" Alex shouted, training her gun on Sam. Sam, not knowing who she was, flamed up, assuming that she was an enemy. Alex faltered a bit, lowering her gun slightly, just for a second, before raising it once again. Before Sam could say anything, Barry had pulled him back.

"Calm down, Phoenix! She's a friendly!" Barry shouted, finally showing himself while removing his mask. After seeing Barry, Alex lowered her gun. Behind her walked in Winn as well.

"Please, Barry, do not scare me like that," Alex said, reholstering her gun. "Anyways, why are you here? And who are you?"

"This is Sam. He's an ally. We initially came here to invite all of you to our gigantic Christmas party, but we saw Kara surrounded by men wearing suits of kryptonite. I took them down while Sam healed her."

"She was shot in her chest, right above her heart, in her side, and through her leg. I did a quick operation and brought her back here. We gave her a shirt and planned on waiting here until she woke up." Sam added.

"So that's why she is half Supergirl half Kara right now?" Winn asked.

"Yeah," Barry said simply.

Within the next few hours, the four discussed the Christmas party, played games, and talked. After about three hours, Kara woke. Once she started stirring, Barry ran over to her side, with everyone following. She slowly opened her eyes and met Barry's first.

"Hey there. Glad to see you up. How you feeling?"

"Hurting. What happened? Not that I don't welcome you here, but why are you?"

"You were shot by some kryptonite bullets. I took out the men who shot you, and my friend here healed you." Barry nodded towards Sam. Kara slowly shifted her head over to Sam who was to Barry's left.

"Thanks," Kara said, sitting up. Everyone else found a seat. "So, who are you? What can you do?" She asked Sam.

"My real name is Samandriel, but you can call me Sam. I am a Fire Angel from the planet Jewel." Sam said. He stood up and extended his wings, while also igniting them, but not himself. Kara's eyes widened, before clumsily tumbling over the back of the couch and stumbling over to the other side of the room.

"Please, please don't hurt us!" She managed to get out during her stumbling. Everyone raised an eyebrow. Sam extinguished his flames and hid his wings.

"Kara? Whats wrong?" Barry asked, approaching slowly, Sam following behind. "If the Sam in this universe is bad, that doesn't mean that this one is." Barry tried to explain calmly. Kara slowly looked up to Sam.

"Tell me about Jewel." She commanded.

"Alright. Jewel was my home planet. It was in a war when I was a young adult. I hated the war, so I tried to stop it. In doing so, I accidentally destroyed both the enemy forces and Jewel, along with everyone on it. I managed to escape, but now I live with all their deaths on my hands. I use it as motivation to prevent others from going through the same thing."

"You from this universe?"

"No. I'm from Barry's." At this, Kara relaxed. She shakily stood up.

"Alright. Sorry for the freakout, it's just that there were stories of the last Fire Angel on Krypton. From what I understand, he used his loss as an excuse to make others feel what he felt. He basically kills everyone that he sees."

"It's fine," Sam responded. They all walked over to where they were sitting previously.

"You never did tell me why you came," Kara said.

"Well, we decided that because it's the first Christmas since my return, we should throw a massive Christmas party. Everyone in team Flash, Green Arrow, Legends, and Supergirl are invited. For you guys, that means you, Alex, Winn, and J'onn. It's going to be hosted on Christmas Eve." Barry explained.

"Yes, of course, we'll come!" Kara exclaimed. Barry then gave them the exact details of the party. After another few minutes, they prepared to leave.

"Once again, thanks for the save!" Kara said.

"Anytime," Barry responded. Barry nodded to Sam and opened a breach to Earth-1.

When they stepped out of the breach, they were inside the S.T.A.R. Labs hangar. Everyone was winding down the work for the day. Cisco was the first to notice their arrival.

"Hey, Barry! What took you guys so long?"

"Kara was shot. We had to heal her, watch to make sure that people didn't come to finish the job, and take down the ones that did it." Caitlin visibly tensed up at the mention of "taking down" someone. Barry noticed this and continued. "We managed to knock them out and bring them to their leaders and tell them that we were watching over them. You know, trying to shock them out of doing it again. The most we destroyed was a few of their buildings to make a point. All of them were empty." At this lie, Caitlin relaxed. Good, she bought it, Barry thought.

"Well," Cisco began, "while you guys were off having fun, we were working hard to figure out how to get decorations all the way up to the ceiling. Any ideas?"

"Where are the decorations for up there?" Barry asked.

"Here!" Wally shouted from the other side of the hangar. He pointed to a box beside him. Sam rushed over and grabbed the decorations. He then extended his wings and flew up to the ceiling. Barry then ran up the walls and onto the ceiling. He ran around, stopping by Sam everytime he needed new decorations. After a few seconds, the hangar ceiling was decorated.

"Oh. Why didn't I think of that?" Wally asked.

"Don't know. Anyways, Cisco, can you go tell Legends about the party? I'll tell team Arrow. The rest of you guys can go home." Barry said.

"Alright. See you guys tomorrow!" Cisco said, opening up a breach.

"Bye!" Barry said, running off to Star City.

The day before the party was here. The team, consisting of Barry, Sam, Caitlin, Cisco, Wally, Jesse, Harry, and Iris, were all at S.T.A.R. Labs working on a lead for the meta-human that called himself Deception. So far, they knew nothing but his name, which he gave freely. After a day of putting everyone's heads together, they were all ready for sleep. As people started filing out of the room, only Cisco, Caitlin, and Barry were left.

"Hey," Barry began, "I still have a few things that I need to get ready for the party tomorrow. I'm gonna head out." Barry then began walking out of the room.

"Alright man. See you tomorrow!" Cisco said. He and Caitlin then worked in silence for another ten minutes. After that, Caitlin spoke up.

"Cisco?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you think about Barry?"

"What do you mean?"

"Earlier this week, when he came back from Kara's earth, he said that he took some guys down."

"Yeah. He also said that he didn't even kill them, just destroyed some of their stuff."

"But what if he did kill them? And he was just telling us a lie because he knew how we would react?"

"Why though? What reason would he have for lying to us about killing?" There was a brief silence where Caitlin debated telling Cisco about what Barry had asked during their talk.

"After Delmond died, Barry came over to my apartment to talk to me about killing. While we were talking, he said that he may be starting to like killing. What if he killed them because he knew that we wouldn't reprimand him for it if we didn't know about it? And then lied when he got back here?"

"So you're saying that Barry is lying to us so that he can kill whenever he wants to?"

"In a way, yeah," Caitlin said, shrugging her shoulders. Cisco took a moment and thought about his response, before continuing.

"What made you think about this? What caused this train of thought?"

"When he was telling us what happened, it felt like he was telling the truth. However, it felt as if he had rehearsed those lines, predicting that he would have to explain what took him so long."

"Or he could have just been telling the truth."

"Correct. I'm just worried that what I said could be true. What would you do if you he did happen to kill those people?"

"I don't know. Honestly, I don't want to know."

"Me neither."

It was the night of the party. None of the Legends arrived, due to some kind of emergency in the timeline (A/N: More like I don't watch the show so I don't know what to write). Everyone else, however, did.

The party started at 8:00. The last person to arrive, J'onn, was only 15 minutes late, and that was because of multiverse troubles. The entire hangar was full of stuff. There was a large Christmas tree in the center of the building. Surrounding it were multiple sofas and chairs, enough to fit everyone who was there. Underneath it was a massive amount of presents. Throughout the rest of the room, one could find a bar, a gaming studio, a large dining table, and a buffet.

Everyone was having a wondrous time. After about 3 hours, everyone gathered around the dining table. Barry sat at the head of the table, and the others sat wherever they wanted. After a moment of talking. Barry stood and called for silence.

"I never thought that I would see this day. The day when, after all that I've been through, after all that you've been through, that we would all be sitting here, together. When I died, and the speed force told me that I had a chance to live, I was ecstatic.

But then they gave me the rules. The first was that I would have to work for them 40 years. I immediately thought that I would die permanently before I could get back. And yes, while I did die a few times early in my training, I was always brought back. Then they told me that I would have to cut off all connections to my old life. I would have to forget about old relationships, friendships, alliances, anything that could prevent me from reaching my goal.

I knew that I would never be able to forget all of that, but that was before 40 years had passed. Over that time, I had done just what they had said. Cut off everything. The only friend I had was Sam. And honestly, he was more like a brother." Barry gestured to Sam. "You still are. But, I digress.

In the few months that I have been back, I feel like I am finally rebuilding those bridges that I lost. And that alone makes me happier than anything. So," Barry raised his glass, the rest of them following suit. "I raise a toast to a few things. To friendship, to rebuilding bridges, but most importantly, I raise a toast to returning home. After everything that's happened, I can definitively say that all of you will always bring me home. To returning home!" Barry shouted. Everyone else did the same. "Now. Let's eat!"

Barry sat back down and began to eat. Before he did, Cisco, who was sitting to his left, spoke to Barry.

"That was an awesome speech! Did you plan that?"

"Nope. I just said what I felt needed to be said." Cisco's jaw dropped.

"Seriously?" Caitlin asked, who was to his right.

"Yup."

"You have to teach me how to do that," Cisco said.

The rest of the party went on as usual. Ten minutes before midnight, everyone gathered around the Christmas tree. They talked a bit until Barry announced that it was officially Christmas. Then began the exchanging of gifts.

People exchanged gifts one at a time, just so everyone could see what everyone got. Barry wanted to give his last. When it was Cisco's turn, he gave Barry a box about the size of a book. Barry opened the box to find a strange metal device inside. Barry held it up as Cisco explained.

"Remember back when I said that I could make a speed force battery for you? Well, there it is. Wear it when you're sleeping, and it will slowly drain you of your energy, but it will be slower than you regenerate, you won't really be losing energy. That way, if you or someone else needs a speed boost, then you can have it."

"This is awesome Cisco! Thanks!"

After the rest of them, Barry stood to get his gift. Instead of walking over to the tree, however, he walked away from it a few meters.

"Where are you going?" Cisco asked.

"Give me a moment." Barry then opened a breach and stepped inside. About 30 seconds later, another opened and Barry, along with two other people, stepped out. One was a woman. She looked to be in her mid twenty's. She had tattoos all over her, and all of them looked like the runes that Sam could make. She had long, black hair, and pale skin, with a small frame. The other was a man. He was slightly older than the woman and looked slightly uncomfortable as if he was out of place in his own body.

"Everyone, these are some of my old co-workers. Adisa and Jiason. Adisa is a sorceress and Jiason is a shapeshifter. However, Jiason can also replicate the consciousness of the person he turns into, so he is amazing at spywork. Adisa, Jiason, these are my friends from the matter world. Say hi guys."

"Hello everyone! It's good to meet you all." Adisa said to the group.

"Likewise," Cisco mumbled, unable to take his eyes off of Adisa.

"My present is to all of you. Adisa is skilled at making golems, clay creatures that can be made to look like anybody. She can also take someone's mind and copy it into the thing. Jiason, much like Everyman could, has the ability to shapeshift into anyone that he touches, along with anyone that person knows. He can then replicate their mind and the minds of anyone that the touched knows.

Together, they can create temporary clones of people. They said that they will make golems for each of you and make it into anyone that you want. If you want a day off, give them a call and they will make one of you. Want to have some closure with a dead loved one, they can create them as well. Golems take lots of energy to work, so because they are still warriors, they can only make golems for you that will last for 24 hours."

"Wait, so anyone that we knew personally, we can talk to again? Even if they're dead?"Caitlin asked.

"Yes. And it will be their mind right up until the point of death, so you can fill them in on what happened or not. They also know that they are golems, so you don't have to worry about them having an existential crisis." Adisa explained.

"Here are their cards." Barry walked up to the group and began handing them out. "Whenever you want to spend a day with your golem, give them a call and they'll come over an make it."

"This is amazing!" Kara exclaimed.

"Seriously dude, thank you!" Cisco said. Many others expressed their thanks in many different ways.

The party ended shortly after. People started filing away, going back home via speedster, multidimensional gateway, or just old-fashioned flying. After everyone had left, Cisco, Caitlin, Sam, and Barry remained. They all went back to S.T.A.R. Labs.

Sam immediately went to bed. The others went to the cortex. When they arrived, they were greeted with an alarming message. Written is what seemed to be blood was the message "Your consequences have come," which was written all across the wall opposite the entering doorway. Barry, however, couldn't care less about the message. What he was focused on was the symbol right on the case with his suit in it. The symbol was a large circle with many lines jetting out from it, much like a child's drawing of the sun. Below were three long, parallel lines that were verticle to the sun shape. Barry walked out in front of them.

"What... what is this?" Caitlin asked.

"This. This is the work of him." Barry answered.

"Him, who?" Cisco asked. Barry turned to face Caitlin and Cisco.

"The Rising Star."

A/N: There you have it! I hope you all enjoyed. Bye!
