Star Labs
Late morning
"Okay, here's what we got," Cisco said as The Avengers and Team Flash, plus Roy, all stood in the cortex so Tony and Cisco could show off their toys.
"This is a little something I like to call the Pulse Disk," Tony said as he held out what looked like a small disk with a button in the center. "Sends out a sonic frequency of three million to a two mile radius."
"We also whipped up a few of these for our archers," Cisco said as he pulled out an arrow with a strange metallic, dark blue arrowhead. "Sonic arrow. Not as effective as the Pulse Disk but it should get the job done. And I created some ear plugs, improved versions of what we gave Oliver and Team Arrow to use when Laurel, the first one, used the device I gave her. They should protect us from having our ear drums blown out."
"Not bad kid," Clint said as he took the sonic arrow, examining it.
"It might not be enough against Savitar, but it's the best we can do with the time we have before he attacks," Tony sighed wearily.
"You did the best you could under the circumstances," Steve said.
"We've done all we can. Now we just have to wait," Barry said grimly.
Central City
Same time
It was a normal day in Central City; people were going about their business as usual. Then, there was chaos. Suddenly, Venom Flash was there. People screamed in horror as he shoved his vibrating hand through a woman's chest. He tossed her lifeless body to the ground and then sped over, intent on killing his next victim.
Star Labs
Same time
"Looks like we don't have to wait at all," Cisco said as he checked the alert from his computer. "Someone just sent out a 911 call, a Metahuman attack on Forth and West. A man in a black suit is attacking."
"Savitar," Bucky said grimly.
"Time to move out. Everyone, gear up," Steve ordered.
"Is Killer Frost up for joining us?" Cisco asked as he turned to Caitlin.
Caitlin closer her eyes and, after a moment, her hair turned a white blond, her skin paled and she opened her eyes to reveal icy blue orbs.
"I doubt Savitar is going to let my betrayal go unpunished. So I guess I better join you," Frost said.
"Welcome to the team, Killer Frost," Barry said with a grin before turning to Clint. "Clint, wait here for a sec."
Barry sped out of the room, to their confusion, before speeding back in with a small box.
"I know you're staying her once this is all over, but I think people are gonna notice you if you're caught on camera fighting Savitar. So, I made you a little something," Barry said as he handed the box to Clint.
Curiously, Clint took the box and opened it. He reached inside and pulled out a copy of Roy's mask, except it was purple rather than red.
"It's made of the same material as Oliver and Roy's masks. What do you think?" Barry asked as Clint examined it.
"I think we don't give you enough credit kid," Clint said and Barry smiled.
"Speaking of masks, I've got something for you Barry," Cisco said and Barry looked over at him. "Since Savitar has shredded your last two suits…"
Cisco raced out of the room before coming back, wheeling in something covered by a sheet.
"I made this baby a few months back, been working on it on and off since Christmas. I guess I wanted to prove, not just to you, but to myself, that I wasn't gonna let what I saw come true. Now seems like a good time to bust it out," Cisco said as he removed the sheet to reveal what was underneath.
Barry stared, impressed. It was an exact replica of the suit Tony had made for him back on Earth-66, except there were no eye lenses covering the holes.
"I based the design on the suit you had when I saw you on Earth-66. I made a few special modifications, as Captain Solo would say. What do you think?" Cisco asked.
"I think you're the best," Barry said and Cisco beamed. "Let's take it out for a test drive."
Central City
Not long after
Venom Flash picked up a car and chucked it at some screaming civilians. A mother grabbed her son and tried to protect him before she felt a gust of wind and the car dropped several fee away from her. The mother and her son looked up to see Barry, in his new suit, let them go.
"Go on, get out of here," Barry urged them.
"Thank you," the mother said emotionally as she took her son and ran.
"I wondered how long it would take you to get here Flash," Venom Flash sneered as Barry turned around to face him, a scowl on his face. "New suit?"
"Looks a lot better than yours," Barry said and Venom Flash laughed monstrously.
"We'll see," Venom Flash said as a breach opened up behind Barry.
Steve, Sam, Bucky, Cisco, Natasha, Clint, and Roy stepped out while Wally sped up next to Barry. Frost glided down on ice as Tony ad Vision joined them as they all landed on the ground.
"Well, the gang is all here. Except for Wanda anyway. Oh well," Venom Flash laughed mockingly.
"Wally, Sam, get the civilians to safety," Steve ordered.
Wally sped off to get the scrambling civilians to safety as Sam took off into the air, grabbing some civilians and flying away. Which left Venom Flash and the others staring each other down.
"Tell me, do you fear death?" Venom Flash sneered.
"Do you?" Clint sneered as he took aimed at the mad speedster.
Clint fired but Venom Flash easily dodged the arrow. As the arrow landed by a car, Venom Flash sped over, grabbing Clint by the neck. However, Clint flipped a switch in the bow and the sonic arrow activated, sending out a sonic pulse. Venom Flash dropped Clint crying out in pain, falling to his knees.
"Now!" Clint shouted as he rolled out of the way.
Once Clint was safely out of the line of fire, Tony shot a missile at the downed speedster. The missile hit Venom Flash and there was an explosion of fire. When the smoke cleared, the suit was gone and Venom Flash's face as burned beyond recognition.
"Well that was…easy," Natasha said lamely.
"Too easy," Steve said uneasily.
Hearing something break, they looked over to see a second Barry Allen break the sonic arrow in two, a smirk on his face.
"Well, thank you for showing us what we are up against," Venom Flash said.
"Um, am I the only one confused?" Bucky asked.
"That's the real Savitar, what we just fought was a Time Remnant," Barry realized. "Savitar went back in time, found another version of himself, and brought him back. I'm guessing he also told him to lose so he could find out what we'd do."
"Very perceptive Flash," Venom Flash said before his suit emerged around his body. "How did you know?"
"Because it's exactly what I'd do," Barry said honestly.
"Seriously? That's all you got? I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed," Tony said mockingly.
Venom Flash simply laughed, to their confusion. Then, black blurs began speeding in as dozens upon dozens of Venom Flashes appeared by the side of the original until they were facing down an army.
"You just can't keep your mouth shut, can you Tony?" Clint grumbled.
"All of you against all of me. Sort of brings things full circle, doesn't it? The first time we met was when I was helping The Avengers face down an army of evil robots," Venom Flash laughed. "How can you possibly hope to defeat me?"
"Like we did last time," Tony said as he glanced over at Steve. "Together."
"You'll lose," Venom Flash said mockingly.
"Then we'll do that together to," Steve said.
And then, the fight was on. Barry and the original Venom Flash met in the middle, flying up into the air in a blur of red and black. Meanwhile, on the ground, the others were engaging the Time Remnants, but they were just as strong and fast as the original. Tony fired a laser but, to his shock, one of the Remnants caught the laser in its hand and jumped forward, preparing to attack. Tony switched methods, using waves of sonic energy once the remnant was close enough.
On the ground, Cisco and Vision shot off their energy beams and Killer Frost fired blasts of ice at the Remnants as the others fired bullets or arrows at the enemy. One of the remnants picked up a black lightning bolt and threw it into Vision's forehead. As it made contact with the Mind Stone, Vision screamed as his mind was confronted with images he didn't understand.
A man in a green hood, a blond woman in black, and a wild looking man with metal claws on his hands engaging police officers.
The hooded man, his hood down to reveal a blond haired man with a beard, on a boat, aiming a bow and arrow at a dark haired man who had a child in his arms.
The people of Central City looking around in confusion as the street lights flickered or broke all together.
Barry and Wanda holding a child in their arms.
Barry and Rhodey, supporting a wounded Vision as they walked off a Quinjet into what seemed to be a base of some kind.
Vision crying out as a large, purple being grabbed the Mind Stone and yanked it from his forehead.
A man wearing a golden helmet whose entire body seemed to pulse with energy.
A woman who looked like Barry and Wanda, her hands glowing with red energy as her eyes sparked with the power of a speedster.
Vision fell on his back, his head spinning from the images. Cisco threw a Pulse Disk to the ground and it went off, stopping all the Remnants in their tracks, allowing everyone to make their counter attack.
"Get your head in the game Vision!" Natasha shouted as she opened fire, getting a weakened Remnant in the head.
Meanwhile, Barry and the original Venom Flash continued to duke it out. Barry ducked a punch the other speedster sent his way before punching him but this didn't seem to phase him. Venom Flash grabbed Barry and threw him into the side of a building.
"You can't beat me Barry. I know what you'll do before you do," Venom Flash sneered as it grabbed him and slammed him up against the side of the building.
"If that was true…you'd probably see this coming," Barry said as he dropped something.
Venom Flash looked down to see a pulse disk. It went off, sending out its frequency and Venom Flash let Barry go, dropping to his knees as he howled in pain.
"My turn," Barry said, cracking his knuckles. "You see, what we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose. You see, whenever I face an enemy, I always have to be very careful. If I hit them too fast, or run too fast into them, I could seriously hurt them. But you can take it, can't you?"
Without waiting for a response, Barry punched Venom Flash. Venom Flash went flying but Barry grabbed him, speeding around at high speed before throwing him into a building. As the speedster flew from one side and out the other, Barry sped over the top of the building and down the other, ready to meet Venom Flash when he came out. As the other speedster broke through the wall, Barry sped down and punched him in the abdomen. Barry slammed him down hard into the concrete before sending a barrage of speed punches into Venom Flash's face. However, Venom Flash seemed to recover at this point, grabbing Barry's fist.
"My turn," Venom Flash growled, throwing Barry into a mail box.
Meanwhile, Clint and Roy took cover behind a building as three Remnants looked for them.
"So much for our sonic arrows," Clint muttered as the trio spotted them. "It's been real kid."
Before the Remnants could do anything, suddenly, they were flown back. Clint and Roy looked over to see Wanda, her hands glowing as she eyed the Remnants.
"Wanda, what are you doing here?" Clint asked stunned.
Wanda ignored him, her focus only on the Remnants. Her hands whirled they all cried out in agony. The suit began to peel back on all three, revealing the face of Barry Allen.
"Wanda," one of them said a pain far deeper than physical clear.
Wanda ignored him, waving her hands and the three heads turned to impossible angles, cracking as the necks were snapped. Wanda let them fall to the ground, releasing deep breaths.
"You okay?" Clint asked as he and Roy walked ver.
"Fine. We have a job to do," Wanda said gruffly as she stormed passed them.
"She's pregnant. Should we really let her be here?" Roy asked Clint.
"Do you wanna be the one to tell her to go home?" Clint asked sarcastically.
"Good point," Roy said as they followed after her.
Bucky opened fire on a Remnant, getting its weak spot as the Sonic Pulse stopped. Bucky then whirled around, about to face another when a missile hit the Remnant, causing an explosion and killing it. Bucky looked over at Tony, who nodded at him. Bucky returned the nod before they refused the fight. Cisco opened a breach and stepped back as a Remnant sped towards him, causing it to go into the breach. On the other side, the Remnant sped out to see Killer Frost on the other side. Before it could do anything, Frost fired ice blasts at it and froze it solid.
"You may be stronger than Barry, but you still have his weaknesses. And cold cancels out speed," Frost said before walking off.
Steve and Natasha stood back to back, firing their pistols at the Remnants as they tried to fight back.
"We kill one, two more pop up," Natasha muttered.
"And they're not exactly easy to kill in the first place," Steve agreed.
Suddenly, all Remnants were thrown back by a red energy. Everyone looked over to see Wanda walk over, her hands glowing.
"Wanda?" Steve questioned but was ignored.
"Tony, go help Barry. Now," Wanda said in an eerily calm voice.
Tony complied, mostly because she was freaking him out and he knew he wasn't exactly Wanda's favorite person on a good day. With a wave of her hands, all Remnants were gathered up into a huge ball.
"Killer Frost, if you would," Wanda requested.
With a smirk, Frost nodded, shooting off ice beams at the ball of Remnants. They carried out as it hit them but, all too soon, they had a ball of frozen Remnants on their hands. With a wave of her hands, Wanda broke the frozen ball into pieces. As the piece fell to the ground, the others noticed Wanda looked strained.
"You okay?" Clint asked concerned, steadying her.
"I don't think I should have come here," Wanda said tiredly.
"Well then head back, because this isn't over," Steve said as more Remnants showed up.
On a rooftop, Barry and Venom Flash fought at high speed before Venom Flash grabbed Barry by the throat.
"It's over Flash. I win," Venom Flash sneered as he began vibrating his hand.
But before he could deliver the final blow, Venom Flash was suddenly hit by sonic energy waves. He let Barry go, falling to his knees as Tony continued to send the sonic energy at him. Then, Venom cried out, splitting from Savitar. Savitar looked up as the symbiont pooled away from him.
"No!" Savitar cried out.
"Oh don't worry, it won't go far," Tony said as he flew down, using the jets on his suit to set fire to Venom.
"NOOOOO!" Savitar roared in rage as the symbiont was reduced to ash.
"It's over Savitar. You lost," Barry said, panting as he caught his breath.
Savitar looked over at him with a sneer but they all froze when they heard a beastly roar.
"I'm really hoping that was your stomach Allen," Tony said.
Suddenly, a blur appeared on the rooftop. It was a man, yet not a man. It was wearing a suit, black in color. It looked very familiar to Barry, a strange symbol on its chest, and a mask that covered only half its face, which looked inhuman.
"No!" Savitar said and Barry and Tony could hear true fear in his voice for the first time.
Savitar jumped to his feet but it was too late. The beast sped over to him at Speedster speed and shoved his vibrating hand through Savitar's chest. The beast yanked his hand out and Savitar shuttered before, like out of a science fiction movie, his arms turned black like coal and disintegrated. Slowly, the rest of Savitar's body disintegrated until he was just a head floating in the air. With a final scream, Savitar's head was gone as well, leaving nothing behind.
On the street, The Avengers looked around as Savitar's Remnants stopped, vibrating until, one by one, they all disappeared. Not even the bodies of those they had killed were left standing.
"What just happened?" Cisco exclaimed in confusion.
"I am unsure…but I believe we won," Vision said confused.
On the roof, the beast sped over to Barry, growling at him and it dawned on Barry why the suit looked so familiar.
"Zoom?" Barry breathed.
The beast did not respond, simply turning and speeding off, disappearing into the distance.
"What was that?" Tony asked.
"I think…I think that was Zoom," Barry said stunned.
"Who?" Tony asked and Barry remembered that Tony hadn't been there when he explained his backstory to the others and Rhodey probably hadn't told him.
"I'll explain later. But…long story short, we won. It's finally over Tony," Barry sighed in relief.
