Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: the flash family

"hello godspeed" barry said "what are you doing here" godspeed asked "I came to save your asses from being captured by them" "thanks but I don't understand aren't they your team" meena asked "no… not anymore we had a falling out but that doesn't matter what matters is that your all in danger" "I have plan to stop craver I have an inside source'' "eva mcculouch right" "what how did you know" "I have been watching you guys for a long time and it seems you need some help" "how do you plan to help us" meena said, looking at godspeed barry said "we both know that cravers plan is almost coming to fruition we need to strike him hard and fast" "you got a plan flash" "yeah as at this moment mcculouch industries is on a lockdown" why" because cravers anti-matter bomb is completed" a voice called out turning they saw a eva in the mirror "he plans to launch it tomorrow" "we have a very limited window we have to move fast" "but uh what of uh kidflash and his posy" Avery chimed in "I'll handle them" barry replied before looking at eva "am sorry about you're loss but the sooner we take down craver, you can have your vengeance" "thank you flash" "you guys should stay here for the mean time" why" godspeed asked "because as of this moment your base is being raided by kid flash" she said showing them a mirror image of wally destroying his base "that little shit" august gritted out in anger "should have expected it" barry sighed "it ok you guys can stay here while I go and get food"

Sometime later

barry ran in with big belly burgers dropping it on the table "where are the girls" he asks noticing them absent in the common room "their taking a shower barry or should I say flash" august smirks "seems you had figured it out already august" as he stops vibrating while august just stares at him "how long have you known" to be honest it took me sometime to figure it out but seeing how joe acted I began to piece everything together" "didn't think you would have figured it out" "you underestimate me" he says with a smile they kept on talking as the girls arrived seeing him he told them his real name and how they were under prepared to take down craver, moving to a training room barry begins to train all three of them explain that it's one thing to learn from videos online and another to actually know how to perform the technique and began to teach them the basic and some advanced techniques and how to use their speed in different situations, they had also began to create pure matter grenades these would help to neutralise the wraiths while they dealt with craver. Barry had left the base heading straight back to coast city on his way Gideon had informed him about a plan team kidflash made regarding their villians "idiots …all of them" walking into the house he makes a quick sandwich before heading to room he tells Gideon to watch over august it's not like he didn't trust him but from what Gideon told him august in the original timelines was very unhinged and had turned into a ruthless murderer so barry was very apprehensive of him but decided to give him a chance because unlike his original timeline self he was more understanding of godspeed and understood that some villains just needed to be killed for people to be safer such as they are irredeemable that's why he never bothered killing his rogues, it was because he understood them he knew why they did what they did and it wasn't their fault. But team kidflash didn't know that and from what Gideon told him they plan to forcefully extract their villains powers and lock them up but he knew something they didn't, that extracting their powers would either kill them or turn them into a vegetable. While barry knew he was more of grey than good he had his morals and this was crossing his lines and he would stop them so he began to compile evidence on them he really didn't blame them but he blamed the west they are toxic and poison anything they touch died "so much work…not only do I have to stop craver and mad plan, I also have to deal with them and to top it off there's an alien invasion coming and I have to somehow get batman to assemble the rest ughh" he groaned out as he drifted to sleep.

The next day

11:35 pm

Barry can be seen wearing his OG flash suit he stole from star labs he was using it since his actual suit wasn't ready. He's with the team on top of a building looking below at mcclouch tech as squad cars surrounded the building and were in a fight with black hole while team kf went in to stop craver "these idiots" barry groaned at their stupidity" "you can say that again" august said this was throwing their plan off seems we hadn't accounted for team kf resourcefulness" said meena we have to stop them before this gets worse they had a plan and it consisted of them taking out all cravers men before informing ccpd and then taking on craver but while they had been planning team kf had figured out cravers plan and gone to stop him "let's go" barry ordered running into the building as avery and meena took care of the guards while godspeed went to find the wraiths and destroy them entering the main lab barry had seen that both Caitlin and cisco were tied up while wally and jesse were hooked up to a machine craver barry calls out looking up to the canopy where craver stood "hello there flash I have been expecting you" he said with a smile "FLASH!!!" both wally and jesse called out one with disgust and jealously and the other with relief and fondness "what you think I didn't know about you and little band of mischief doers he said seeing the look of shock on his face he turned on a screen which showed eva but there was a weird canister with goo inside beside her that container is full of anti-micro nanites which would enter into her body "stop this craver" "stop this… it's just the beginning he said as a portal opened for his wraiths to come out instead in got greeted with a punch and was sent flying hello craver godspeed mocked appearing by Barry's side as two more flashes appeared and avery and meena joined them it's over craver you have lost have I he said with a smile as a portal opened and 7 wraiths appeared "you didn't think I would kept them all in one place oh flash you really should expect the unexpected" kill them he order racing out of the building each wraith had followed them independently as the ran in different directions four tailed barry as he ran north to the desert while they tried to catch up to him "Gideon find me eva location right away and keep me informed on the teams condition mr allen"

arriving in the desert barry waited for the wraith as it ran ready to kill him, they raced towards them and began to fight them while creating clones to help him this went on for a while without him being able kill them getting annoyed barry is instantly behind two of them attaching his grenades on them activating they scream in pains and instantly combust the two screech and run toward him coating his hands with speedforce energy the begins to punch them while avoiding their attacks in annoyance they both release a pulse of energy blasting him away "agrh what the hell" he groaned feeling as if he were hit by concrete he's pinned down by them as they get ready to devours his speed quickly thinking barry snaps his fingers which creates a shock wave blasting them away "mr allen we have problem both godspeed and meena have taken down their targets but craver had appeared blasting them with an anti-speed force gun and taken them back to mcculouch tech and he sent the last ghoul to avery she won't last very long" "damn I don't have any time to waste" crackling with lightning barry channels it to his hand forming a blade of lightning he disappears instantly shoving his hand through it destroying the beast while the other slashed its hand at him but he phased through it kicking it away as it stood up barry was already upon it shove his lightning blade through its chest killing him as it faded away running he made his way to avery following her speedforce signature

she's in las vegas and was doing quite well to stay alive by avoiding them by running through buildings "avery lightning toss" he called out while forming two clones to distract them nodding the began to run in and threw it to them as the clones lead them there a boom was heard as the wraiths were gone "thanks flash didn't think I'll last long" she said panting "your welcome but we have a problem both august and meena have been taken by craver" "what we have to save them" "I know I will save them while you go to the location and save eva my friend Gideon would send to you she would help to disarm any traps he may have set" "all right flash" she says as Gideon sends her the location and she's gone running barry makes his way to mcculouch tech but is both surprised by the damaged done by black hole as craver didn't seem to be holding back as the whole area was destroyed and dead people everywhere and the skies where becoming red as a red beam could be seen being projected from mucclouch tech, entering mucculouch tech he was horrified by what he saw wally and jesse looked very pale "Gideon are they alive" barry asks putting his thumbs on their neck "yes mr allen but it seems that their speed force connection has been stripped from them" can their connection be restored yes mr allen the corrupted energy has damaged their body but it seems that jesse may still be able to become a speedster but as for west am afraid his days of being a speedsters are over" he was about to ask another question but screams of pain drew his attention it was meena and august they were locked in a glass chamber which siphoned off their speed force into a machine which is charging the anti matter bomb and using it as a beacon to find the speedforce, it was also the cause for the skies red dashing forward, he destroyed the chambers keeping them trapped as the fell out "barry" august groaned "what happened" "craver tried to steal our speed he managed to say before passing out mr allen it seems 90 percent of their speedforce energy was stolen" Gideon informed him "damn don't worry you guys would be okay" "I wouldn't be too sure about that flash" a voice called out turning he was shocked by what he saw it was craver but he looked different he seemed to be a monster made of corrupted speedforce energy "w-w-what have you done"

"I have become a god flash" "god you call this you becoming a god you fool you don't know the forces you're playing with" "as if you do flash once I destroy your speed force and create mine I will rule all" "destroy the speed force you think that you destroying wouldn't have any repercussions" "I am a god none will touch me" he says crackling like a mad man "I will stop you craver" he said looking at craver time comes to a sudden stand still and in an instant their both gone racing from city to city punching each other with neither able to get the upper hand barry had used all his tricks yet craver wouldn't go down but he had noticed something about cravers speed force connection "his connection to the speed force isn't stables and its eating him from the inside out" "you need to stop this corrupted form of the speed force is killing you" but craver didn't listen and ran towards him but fell and began coughing blood craver are you okay he said getting a little closer to him but craver pounced on him "so predictable flash your compassion makes you weak" he say as he siphons off his speed barry screams in pain feeling his speedforce draining Gideon tries to tell him something but his in too much pain to listen boooom the sound barrier is heard breaking and craver is met with a fist to his face and his sent flying away "you okay barry" avery asks looking at barry with concern "yeah am fine" he says "mr allen we have a problem the anti-matter bomb has been activated you only have 30 seconds before it gets sent to the speed force" "we got just 30 seconds to defeat him and stop it" "you think you can stop it hahaha you can't" cravers says walking up to them we got 30 seconds that's more than enough barry entering flash time lets teach him a lessons kid running toward him barry slids under craver tripping him as avery jumps kicking him in the chest falling down cravers gets body slammed by barry rolling on the ground he stands only to be stunned by a lightning toss from avery, barry then zooms past punching him over and over again with avery joining him "Gideon is there any way to strip him of his powers" "yes mr allen as you run around him create a field of speed force energy to weaken his powers you can then use your speedforce energy to strip him of his power but be warned mr allen the amount of speed force energy would high and would strain your body" "don't worry Gideon I got it" he then runs around him creating a cyclone tosses lighting multiple time him while avery got in up close as was punching him running up to him barry summons his speed force energy and grabs him "AVERY RUN!!!" he yells "NO YOU CAN'T DON'T" craver yells realising what his about to do but it's too late barry releases all his speed force energy "nooooooooo" a scream was heard and then there was a bright light barry Avery calls out running to the barry who's on the floor passed out the top of his suit having some burnt holes but otherwise he was fine "barry" she shakes him hoping his not dead "w-w-what happened" he drawls out as he come too "your alive" she cheers in relief hugging him "yeah I am" he says with a smile "mr allen I hate to break up this moment but you only have 10 seconds left before the bomb deploys" "shit we have to go" he says struggling to stand up they arrived in central city by a hairs breath but they run around saving people because cravers bombs was causing a lightning storm that was destroying everything but the bomb been already sent to the speedforce "shit avery I need you to get very body out of the building I'll go after the bomb" "but your weak you can't you'll die" "no avery I won't have some faith in me" he says with a smile "don't die you hear me" don't worry I'll be back in a flash" then his gone running into the speedforce he sees the bomb glowing brighter and brighter heading for the nexus of the speedforce "faster I have to go faster" he says pushing himself past his limits his lightning crackling around him boooom the sound barrier breaks as he reaches the bomb grabbing it barry knew he had less than a second he using his connection to the speedforce he finds an empty earth with no living organisms dropping the bomb he runs back into the speedforce just as the anti-matter bomb exploded

"barry barry" a voice calls out what barry opens his eyes so see his back in central city with avery shaking him who looked distressed "your awake thank god" she cried hugging him "you scared us flash" godspeed called out turning he saw him, Eva and meena walking towards him both looking no worse for wear "you look like shit" "could say them same about you" "don't scare us like that again flash" meena said "what happened" barry asks standing up survey the area they were in front of mccclouch tech or what was left of it you came running out of thin air then fell down and passed out we,ve been trying to wake you up for 2 minutes now eva informed him yeah sorry about that he apologised he spotted team kidflash still unconscious walking toward them he knelt down by both wally and jesse trying to contemplate his next action uh barry what you doing god speed inquired but he paid no attention to him he placed his hand on jesse chest closing his eyes he concentrated he sent a pulse of lightning into her body smiling as he felt her speed force connection reforming turning he looked at wally with a complicated look "you can't be serious" Godspeed said in disbelief noticing barry "look you shouldn't do it he doesn't deserve it meena added "yeah their right I heard how shitty he is he doesn't care about anyone but himself" eva chimed in "I know you want to do the right thing but it would bring more harm than good" eva concluded hmm should I or shouldn't I he thought but that's when he felt it a nudge from the speedforce they were against the idea too sighing he stood up looking over at central city so whats next godspeed asked

2 weeks later

Barry sat down on a bleacher watching sara soccer match it was coast city rangers vs gotham hawks she had invited him and Jessica but surprising to both him and sara Jessica actually came out he didn't know what changed but sara had said it was his influence and positive attitude on her he didn't know what to say about that but just go with it. he opened his phone looking at a news report at the central city news report seems central city was moving past the attack the saw articles about him and the team that the public had dubbed as the flash family that has a nice ring to it they were also asking for the return of their scsrlet speedster, there was also a page on mcculouch tech and how it was taken over by craver and how eva was kept prisoner by craver he had Gideon post cravers crimes all over the internet exonerating eva if people tried to pin it on her she had taken control of mcculouch tech and renamed it mirror Inc. and as for team kidflash well wally was pissed when he woke up and found out he couldn't use the speedforce and that his entire body system will break apart if they tried to give him back his power he had bitched on bout how it was unfair that jesse got her powers back but he didn't but she didn't pay mind to him and left them back to her own earth but she and barry had met up she thanked him for everything her and as for the rest of team kidflash well they were at loss at what to do since without a speedster they had lost their purpose the west wanted barry to come back but they were turned down by cisco and Caitlin saying he wouldn't accept so they had shut down star labs and left cisco and Caitlin to mercury labs and the west to their day jobs did he mention that the west were livid when they heard about the flash family saying that barry had replaced them and that barry didn't deserve them… but who the hell cared about what they thought. As for the flash family august went to new York with meena while avery went back to school in china but promised to be there to help each other. Barry himself was contemplating whether to go back to central city but decided not to vibe and frost got it for the main time but as for the moment everything was quiet there.

Later barry could be seen walking home with Jessica at his right and sara at his left with their hands entangled together nothing could go wrong he thought feeling happy with the two of them at his side but alas the universe hates him cause in that moment a green streak moved through the sky and crash landed infront of him "what the hell" "ahhhh" the girls screamed hiding behind barry walking slowly to the crater barry was surprised to see hal "Hal" he called out in shock he looked like shit he was bleeding, his suit was damaged and his right hand wasn't supposed to look that way he looked at barry with fear and pain "b-b-barry his coming brainiac i-i-s-is coming"
