Upgrade
Disclaimer: I was inspired after reading Andrus' (Arlyss) take on DZ2's 'God Of Speed' Challenge and came up with this. Even if it is loosely based on the Challenge. Things to know: Wally became the Flash instead of Barry as he became Savitar. Though he just used a silver variant of the red suit until his imprisonment in Iron Heights 2 years later. So this takes place around season 3. Barry was in the system after his mom's death and dad's imprisonment until Joe adopted him at the age of 16 and things weren't exactly pleasant betewen Barry and the Wests. Linda and Patty are Barry's wives and the Rogues are his allies and Eddie's alive and well. Well, aside from the fact that Barry paralyzed him from the waist down in an act of revenge.
And more out of his own dark amusement then anything else, Barry's the reason Lily Stein ended up not existing on this Earth. Ronnie's not dead, Jax's flame powers did activate however a bit later on and goes by the codename 'Torch'. The Legends don't exist as this is Earth-43 and Zoom had his ass soundly handed to him when he showed up. Barry forced him to work for him until his death on Earth-1. Henry died in season 1 in a rather public way thanks to Reverse Flash, which got him killed by an enraged Barry right before he stole his speed sometime later.
Summary: Now that he's freed himself from prison thanks to some clever maneuvering on his part, Barry feels that now is the time for an upgrade.
"Where are we with freeing Lord Savitar from his wrongful imprisonment?" Asked Julian 'Doctor Alchemy' Albert at a big circular table in the secret headquarters Barry 'Savitar' Allen had established.
"Slowly, as the Rogues under the Mirror Master are uninterested in aiding us in freeing Lord Savitar." Informed an Acolyte with a scowl on her face.
Scowls that were matched by the other Acolytes. "The fools prefer him to be locked up so that they are free to do as they please without gaining permission from him. Allowing the Mirror Master to take over has proven to be a foolish mistake." Stated a hooded male distastefully.
Their Master's imprisonment, along with the Snarts was so far proving to be their greatest test and quite a few of the Acolytes were worried they were failing it. Mick had shown no desire to lead but he had butted heads with Scudder and his girlfriend on more then one occasion however. "Let me put a bullet in the smug bastard and he won't be a problem anymore." Patty Spivot-Allen declared while rubbing on her swollen stomach that carried Barry's child.
Linda Park-Allen would have been in attendance for the meeting but her pregnancy was proving to be a bit more tiresome then what Patty's was. Making some theorize that perhaps that the child within Linda contained its own speed abilities. Both happily shared Barry and even shared themselves with one another as the trio were highly devoted to one another. And the things that started it all being when Barry had clandestinely gotten Linda the top position at CCPN while arranging for a little Mardon brothers meeting for Patty. Allowing for her to finally get her revenge after years of seeking it out. Their acceptance of him and of one anoher in everything was another reason they had such a deep bond wih one anoher as well. "He'll no longer be a concern after today, my dearest Patty." Came a voice that caused not only Patty's eyes to widen, but the eyes of the others present as well.
"Barry!?" She asked delightedly as she and the others turned around and saw not only him, but the Snarts and a large number of Iron Heights inmates.
He gave her a nod with a smile on his lips and she let out a delighted squeal and began to try and get out of her seat. Which was made difficult due to being pregnant but he quickly sped over and embraced his wife while Julian and the other Acolytes present got out of their chairs and bowed. "How, how did you and the Snarts get out!?" Patty asked joyfully as she pulled away from him and looked at Leonard and Lisa with warmth.
Even getting a hug from Lisa as well while her brother just nodded. "Barry here managed to trick one of our fellow inmates into beating him up. Not the way I would have done it but he's the boss." Leonard told her.
Which got him a glare from Barry as he didn't need to be in hot water from his wife right now! Or rather… Both of his wives once Linda found out! "You're lucky I actually like you and find you useful, Captain."
The good Captain just smirked at him. "And how exactly did this work in your favor, Mr. Allen?"
"You wanna answer this one, Glider?"
"Hmm… Nah."
"Let me guess, female solidarity?" Barry asked with an eyeroll.
"Damn straight."
"Somewhere, right now, there's someone asking themselves why Savitar, the God of Speed puts up with this kinda stuff." Muttered the Speedster despairingly.
Chuckles were had at that. "Babe, it helps for even a God to have some grounding around him."
Barry looked at his pregnant wife as Julian and his fellow Acolytes seemed rather doubtful over that whole grounding bit. "Perhaps you're right. And as much as I want to take you home so I can ravish you and Linda, I'm afraid I need to do some things before I can do so."
"And while you're doing that, I'll be taking back the Rogues before Scudder can screw them up even more." Added Leonard as Patty pouted at having to wait!
"I'll come with." Decided Lisa.
Who knows, maybe she could kick Top's ass? Barry just nodded and the two Snarts made their leave. He then looked over at the still bowing Julian and the Acolytes. "Rise, my faithful Acolytes. Rise and take our new friends to be fitted for their new roles in life."
The Acolytes did so as Julian remained where he was, awaiting his own orders as the followers and the former inmates went passed him. Walking up to him, Barry gave his most faithful follower a nod. "Tell me, how goes the recruitment process, Alchemy?"
"It goes well, my Lord Savitar. The Police and those fools at STAR Labs remain oblivious to what we are doing in your name. We are beginning to number in the thousands."
A satisfied nod came from the so called God of Speed. "Good, that's good. And my vault?"
"It remains left alone as you requested."
"Good. Its time I finished my work in there as it is."
Work that Patty, Linda, and quite a few others were pretty curious over! "About time, slacker." Teased Patty and getting a fake glare from her husband that she just smiled at.
Julian looked a bit nervous before he spoke. "If I may be permitted to say this without retribution, my Lord, I must admit to some curiousity about your work in the vault."
"You needn't fear my wrath, Alchemy. Just so long as your curiousity does not ever go against me."
"O-Of course not! Never!"
"Good. Now, come you two. Come and see what I've been working on."
And not only would they know, but so would the rest of Central City and beyond it. Perhaps he'd even pay a visit to Oliver in what he had planned. Making his way out of the meeting room with his wife and Julian following, Barry soon led them to a giant door where his vault was contained and opened it. Revealing a silver metallic helmet and a portion of a chest piece. "Looks like you've got a lot of work to do, baby." Muttered Patty a bit disappointedly.
Causing him to look at her and even pull her close for a moment as he kissed the top of her head. "Worry not, my love." He told her as he stepped away from her and went into the vault.
Once he was at his project, he placed his hands on the chest piece and began to concentrate. "Though they may have used those damnedable shackles to prevent me from using my speed, they could not take away my access to the Speed Force."
"Which in my time in Iron Heights allowed me to learn a great many things through it." Continued the Speedster as energy pulsed from his hands and into his work.
Causing an expansion to happen as new pieces fully formed and looking quite menacing as well. "One such example is that I am able to use my gift to create something like this at a much faster rate. Giving me the perfect upgrade so that the Flash and the Police can do NOTHING to harm me or even stop me from enacting my plans ever again." Added Barry seconds later in a satisfied manner with a pleased grin on his face.
He quickly got into the suit and it towered over his wife and Alchemy as blue energy pulsed in several areas of the armor. "It… It is magnificent, Lord Savitar! Truly magnificent!"
With this, no one could ever stop the God of Speed again! Patty even gave her own approval. "Good work, baby. Now we'll never have to worry about you ending up in some horrible prison ever again."
A deep, menacing chuckle was heard from her husband. "Too true, my love, too true. I think now would be the perfect time to reveal my new look to Central City." Perhaps he would find Clariss as well and teach him the error of his ways where betrayal was concerned.
Patty smiled darkly at this. "Linda and I will be waiting at home for you, my love." She told him and even left a kiss on his armored face.
Nodding, he sped off, leaving the two alone. "A new dawn has come. And none shall have a chance to stop it."
"Got that right."
Three hours later after a very enjoyable time of putting the fear of God into the citizens of Central City and handing Wally West his ass, Barry made his way home to Patty and Linda. Where a very happy reunion took place that lasted many an hour thanks to his being able to give them energy through his connection to the Speed Force. Which definitely helped with Linda's pregnancy. Central City would become a much darker place despite Wally's best attempts to stop him as Barry made his come back with his new upgraded look.
Author's Notes: Hope folks enjoyed! I had intended on the previous chapter in this fic having a second update instead of this one, but I haven't gotten around to it yet as I ended up focusing on this and just now adding it since I was pretty tired to do it last night.
