Sorry guys, but my computer isn't letting me upload any of my 'Life of a Dragon' works. But to be fair to you guys, I'm putting up the first chapters of my new stories, to give you something to look forward to
.
So here is the first of my two new stories, I was watching the Flash, and I felt that Savitar got a bad deal, no matter what he ended up doing, he just never got a good chance in the first place, so this story is my attempt to fix that
.
Disclaimer: I Own Nothing
In the middle of a storm of yellow and red lightning, stood a woman with reddish brown hair and bright green eyes. In front of her, lying horizontally, floating in the air is a man with short brown hair and closed eyes, the right side of his face is horribly disfigured. The woman reaches her hand out and brushes some of his brown hair out of his face
.
"You know Barry, even in this form, I cannot fault you. You became Savitar, because you were never given the proper chance"
.
The woman runs her hand along the disfigured part of his face, and slowly it heals, becoming normal once more
.
"Savitar, the God of Speed, a bit presumptuous, but fine, it is a bit amusing" She says, a small smile on her face
.
The woman turns her head, watching as a small area of the storm around them clears, as she observes the dissipating of a bright purple flame. In the middle of the dissapearing flame is an orb, that shoots forward and into the womans hands
.
"Hmm, so, so much potential, I wonder how strong you were to appear, even at the very edge of my domain. Who did you belong to?"
.
The woman watches as the remaining flame shoots away, the hole in the storm closing
.
"This potential, yes I think it could be very useful"
.
The woman takes the orb and places it onto Barry's chest, watching as it sinks in and already she can see and sense changes
.
"Oh, truly it will be interesting to watch this. Certainly quite a bit of change in a few seconds"
.
The woman reaches her hand out and the lightning around them seems to coalesce into a yellow and red portal, as the unconscious form of Savitar floats into it
.
"Make me proud Barry Allen, I'll be watching, God of Speed"
.
The form of Savitar floats through the portal and once through it closes. The woman puts a hand to her face and laughs softly
.
"To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble. Lets see how your story continues Barry Allen"
.
.
Savitar woke with a gasp, and looked around him quickly. He realizes he's lying in a medical bed, and that he's has no clue where he is, his last memory of getting shot by that bitch Iris West, how the old him was going to marry her, he'll never know ironically
.
"Where am I?" Barry says
"Oh God"
"He's up"
.
He looks around, seeing Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow, and he pauses to stare at her for a moment. He always preferred how things were so much easier with his snowflake, they had each other's backs, they understood each other, he felt if he had a real partner, if only for a moment. He sighs and shakes his head, those times where behind him
.
"Wait a minute"
.
He widens his eyes then speeds away from them, hiding behind a corner
.
"Dr. Wells get down here to the cortex now"
"Whoa relax, calm down" Caitlin says holding up her hands
.
"What year is it?" he asks quickly, looking himself over, along with them, and somewhat realizing what happened
"2014. I'm Cisco Ramon, that's Caitlin, sorry, that's Dr. Snow"
.
Barry looks over his hands, vibrating them, before speeding out of the room, around the city, looking everywhere and at everything, before he looks himself over in a mirror
.
He looks healthy, his face back to normal, and he feels around his clothes, feeling a piece of paper in his pocket
.
Your the only one here now Savitar. Be the hero you never got to be.
I'll be watching, and expect one more gift
- The Speedforce
.
He runs to the top of tallest building and screams as loud as he can, not in anger, nor sadness, but joy. Tears streak down his face, and he laughs a happy laugh, for the first time in forever
.
"Thank you, thank you so much. I'll never forget this, ever" he screams to the sky, and in his mind, he can see the image of his mother in the speed force, smiling at him
.
He runs back to S.T.A.R. labs as fast as he can, the biggest grin on his face, as Cisco and Caitlin look at him like he's grown two heads and Dr. Wells smiling mysteriously
.
"Welcome back Mr. Allen, did you have a nice run?" he says with a knowing smile and a hand on his chin
"Dr. Wells, its so good to see you" Barry says shaking his hand vigorously
.
He then rushes over and shakes the hands of Cisco and Caitlin
.
"And you too Cisco, and you Caitlin. Its so good to meet you" he says, the huge grin never leaving his face
"Your certainly happy for a guy who just woke up from a 9 month coma" Cisco says as Barry nods
"Of course I'm happy, couldn't be better" he says speeding around the room once
"Okay Speedy, calm down the freaky magic powers" Cisco says as Barry sits down, still hyper and so very happy
"Let Mr. Allen have his moment Cisco, I'd be happy too if I discovered I could do that" Dr. Wells said
"Okay but what is it?" Caitlin asks
"Mr. Allen here has gained his speed from the Particle Accelerator explosion, becoming one of the first, if not the first, Metahuman"
"Metahuman Dr. Wells?" Caitlin asks
"Trademark Name" he says, chuckling
"If that's trademarked then I get to name myself" Barry says, bouncing up and down in his seat
"Woah, woah, slow your roll, I'm the one that does the naming around here"
"Agreed Mr. Allen" Dr. Wells says, chuckling at Cisco's betrayed look
.
After everyone calms down, Caitlin flashes a light into his eyes and takes his blood pressure
.
"Pulse 120, both eyes reactive to light. Now I need to run a few more tests" Caitlin says
"Anything for you beautiful" Barry says as Caitlin gains a faint blush on her cheeks and turns away, small smiles on her face before her features return to normal
.
After a few more tests on Barry, who sits by quietly, still grinning but much more subdued
.
"Mr. Allen, you seem normal, well, your new version of normal at least" She says looking over some charts
"You can call me Barry, if I can call you Caitlin" he says holding his hand out
.
Caitlin nods her hand and takes his hand, smiling
.
"Okay, hate to break up the whole meet cute you two got going on, but I think Barry's family will want to know he's awake" Cisco says dialing a number on the phone
"And I would like to speak to Mr. Allen for a moment" Wells says as Caitlin and Cisco leave
.
Barry and Wells take a small tour around the damaged S.T.A.R. labs as he tells Barry about the explosion
.
"...Now, I'm not the most popular person in town these days, but Detective West and his daughter gave me permission to bring you here so we could treat you"
"And how are they?" Barry says, putting on a false smile
"Missing you, moving on all the same"
.
Barry looks at Dr. Wells for a moment
.
"You know Mr. Allen, it was the strangest thing. Right before you woke up, there was an influx of Dark Matter into your system. How are you feeling?" Wells asks cautiously
"Great, better than I ever did before" Barry says
.
Abandoned runway
.
As Caitlin checks over the devices on his track suit, Barry stares at her
.
"What?"
"I notice you don't smile much"
"My once promising career in bio-engineering is over. My boss is in a wheelchair for life and the explosion that put you in a coma killed my Fiancé, so this blank expression feels like the way to go"
"Mr. Allen, while I am extremely eager to determine your full range of abilities, I do caution restraint" Dr. Wells says
.
Barry nods and readies himself in the runners stance, eager himself to determine the current range of abilities. He takes off running, not sure himself how fast he is until he hears the sonic boom, there his speed seems to peak after a while longer
.
"That's not possible" Caitlin mutters, even though she sees it for herself
.
He turns around, rushing back and stops in front of the three scientists, a large gust of wind hitting them as he stops
.
"That was a sonic boom, over 700 miles per hour" Barry says excitedly, already better than his past self
"Around 920 actually" Cisco says, excitement on his face
.
After several tests back at the lab, Barry tells them more about himself, including the murder of his Mother before going home to Iris and Joe. Savitar's memories of future them, along with his newfound hatred for Iris making it quite hard to hold a normal conversation
.
The Next Day
.
"I saw one of the Metahumans, he robbed a bank and controlled the weather. His name is Clyde Mardon" Barry says as he hacks into the Central City Database
"The past nine months have a drastic increase in crime and unexplained deaths, your Meta-humans have been busy"
.
As the others look guilty, Barry elaborates further
.
"I don't blame you, I never will. Everyone lost someone that night, but I need your help to stop him" Barry says looking at Caitlin
.
As they nod, Barry thinks over his current situation. His speed weakened but still strong for this point in time. He nods to himself, he definitely will need their help
.
.
Barry looks over the OG Flash costume, feeling wierd wearing red and yellow instead of his silver and blue armor, he'll have to find the philosopher's stone to get it back. As he thinks about it, he feels something, as he looks at his body, it shakes and vibrates on its own, before dispersing, as Barry shivers
.
"What was that?" Barry says
.
As Barry runs around Mardon's Tornado his lightning slowly turns from red to white, as his suit slowly begins to change, turning metalic silver and blue instead of red and yellow. Barry looks shocked as he looks over his silver and blue flash costume
.
"You know, didn't think there were any more like me" Mardon says pointing a gun at the Silver Speedster
"I'm not like you, I'm better, faster, stronger..."
.
Barry runs forward and presses Mardon holds him up against the wall, speed punching him several times in the chest
.
"...But I'm not a monster, not anymore"
.
Barry winds his hand back and punches Mardon in the face, knocking him out cold
.
.
"Barry"
.
He turns around to see Joe, looking at him shell shocked. Barry walks towards Joe, only to be stopped by getting a gun pointed at him
.
"Joe?"
"Stay back"
"What is this Joe?"
"Your like Mardon, one of them"
"Joe, I'm the same Barry you raised. The one who lived with you for nearly 13 years"
"No, that boy died 9 months ago, your a freak, a monster"
.
At the word Monster Barry growls, his voice low and dangerous, white lightning streaking around him
.
"If that's how you want it..."
.
Barry's entire body vibrates, his eyes glowing dark blue
.
"...Then so be it" he says, his voice deepening to Savitar's voice
.
Barry walks off and hears a shot, looking over and seeing that Joe had shot Clyde Mardon dead
.
"Stay away from me, and stay away from Iris, or It'll be you next"
.
Barry speeds away, lightning trailing behind him as he ends up back in S.T.A.R. labs
.
"What happened to your suit Mr. Allen?"
"Not sure Dr. Wells. I was running, and it changed colors into this. I don't know, I like it" he says, his mind elsewhere
"Barry, are you okay, the audio glitched when you unraveled the tornado, it uh...started back when Detective West showed up"
.
Barry sits down, resting his head in his hands, even though Joe shunned him in the future, he still has the memories of being raised by him, and it hurts just as much as it did the first time
.
"Listen, can I stay with one of you? I'm not exactly welcome at home anymore"
"Sure man you can..."
"He can stay with me" Caitlin interrupts, Cisco looking at her astounded
"Are you sure Caitlin, I won't mind if you say no?" Barry asks, not wanting to burden his friend
"Its alright Barry" Caitlin says, putting a hand on his shoulder in a comforting gesture
.
Barry places his hand on hers
.
"Thank you" Barry says, sincerity in his voice
.
Internally Barry is happy, getting the chance to spend more time with Caitlin and develop a connection
.
.
"Its not very big but it's home. I'll take the couch, you can take the bed" Caitlin says opening the door
"No, I can't do that to you Cait, its your house, I'll take the couch" Barry says
.
He watches as Caitlin smiles when he calls her Cait. She gets some blankets and a pillow for him before yawning and deciding to turn in
.
"Goodnight Barry, don't stay up too late" Cait says walking into her bedroom
.
He waits until he is sure she's asleep, sneaks out of the room and speeds to the West House, and after a quick perimeter run to make sure no one is home. He takes everything of his that is important, packs it up and speeds back to Cait's house. He lays all his stuff in a corner and gets on his computer
.
"Really gonna have to thank Felicity for those hacking classes she gave me" he whispers, not wanting to be heard
.
He gets on the Dark web, just like how Felicity taught him, no trace and no trail. He hacks into nearby cameras and bugs, disabling the ones in Cait's house, before going on to other business. He hacks into the accounts of some of the wealthier members of the criminal underground, and takes a small percentage, masking it within other money that was flowing into the account. The money is funneled through so many proxies and different false identities that no one will ever trace it to him. With his newfound wealth slowly trickling into his own account, so as not to be suspicious, he closes his computer and looks at a clock, seeing it read '2:00 AM', he realizes that most of the night is gone and that he has to be up in three hours
.
He sighs and opens up the computer once more, sending an email resigning from the C.C.P.D., sets up credit and debit cards for himself, and sends out feelers looking for the philosopher's stone
.
He closes his computer and finds every bug in the house, putting them into a bag and speeding them into a trash compactor, to be destroyed with the rest of the garbage
.
Around an hour later at 5 in the morning he hears the shower go on, figuring Cait is awake. He speeds to the store, taking what he wants while leaving money on the register. He gets to work making a big breakfast, as much a thank you to Cait as it is to feed the Black Hole that is a Speedster's stomach
.
Cait emerges from her room wearing a white blouse and a dark skirt as she finishes brushing her hair, she notices Barry cooking breakfast
.
"Barry, you didn't have to do that" Cait says, her smile showing the opposite of her words
"I thought I should thank you, for letting me stay here, so take your pick I made alot, suddenly felt starving"
.
Cait notes his words for later as she stares at the feast her new roommate had cooked
.
As Cait fills her plate and Barry is on his fifth, she takes a bite, widens her eyes and sighs happily
.
Two weeks pass, Barry taking out Danton Black, failing to save Beete Sans Souci again to his dismay, and fighting with Leonard Snart
.
The two continue the routine of Barry cooking every day, each time cooking different food, all delicious to Caitlin
.
"Barry can you live here forever?" she says one day, before she can stop herself
"Why Cait, I didn't know you could be so forward, we haven't even had a date yet" Barry says smirking
.
As Cait blushes and turns away, suddenly aware of what she just said, Barry looks at her, happy that only a couple weeks could get them here
.
"Wa-was that an invitation?" Cait asks as Barry's face lights up
"Really?"
"Yeah, I'd like to"
"Excuse me for a moment"
.
Caitlin watches as he speeds out of the room and in the distance she hears something, so she opens the window
.
"-ES, YES. FINALLY. THANK YOU"
.
Barry speeds back in a moment later to see Caitlin laughing
.
"That bad?"
"Lets just say you seem quite eager Barry Allen"
.
Caitlin goes and walks closer to Barry, until he is pressed against the wall and her face is inches from his
.
"And you can say, I'm quite eager as well"
.
She walks away, a little extra sway to her hips as Barry watches her, slack jawed
.
"That little tease" he says, wide grin on his face
.
.
Barry picks Cait up at their house after he sets everything up. she opens the door wearing a short black dress, a small purse in her hand
.
"W-wow, you look...Amazing" Barry says, Cait smiling at him, butterflies in his stomach, and heat on his face
.
After taking Caitlin to get coffee at Jitter's, he takes her outside the city, onto a beautiful clearing and a picnic
.
"Barry, It's wonderful"
"And these are for you" he says suddenly holding a bouquet of pink roses
.
She takes them and sniffs the flowers, happy look on her face as she and Barry have lunch
.
"So Felicity taught you how to hack, what accounts to look for, and how to untraceably steal from the most dangerous illegal elements in the world"
"Yep"
"And your loaded now, and no one will ever suspect this large amount of money you've come into"
"Nah, they'll never find me" he says with a wave of his hand
"You get more interesting by the day Barry Allen"
"For the better I hope"
"Of course" Cait says, leaning over and pressing a kiss to his cheek
.
After they finish their meal, the two watch the sunset together and he flashes them to a bar
.
"I'd like to open a tab for me and this lovely girl here" Barry says to the bartender who nods
.
The two drink, Barry not enjoying that he can't get drunk, and before long
.
"Mr. Barry Allen...come on down, or up...here...with me. Come show'em what you got, come on" Barry tries to tell her no, but Caitlin riles up the crowd, causing a chant to start
""Barry, Barry, Barry""
.
He smiles and rushes up to the stage
.
"Look at him, he's so fast...Oh Shhhh"
"I'm not much of a singer, and your not much of a drinker"
"Oh come on...We are gonna bring this place down...Ready?"
.
"Summer Lovin, had me a blast. Summer Lovin, happened so fast..."
"...I met a girl, crazy for me..."
"...I met a boy, cute as can be..."
"Summer Days, drifting away to oh oh the summer nights"
.
"Your fast and you can sing, what can't you do?" Cait says taking a sip from a random drink
"Stop you from drinking apparently"
"I'm not even sure that was mine" Cait says, her face mildly disgusted
.
As Cait goes to the bathroom a woman comes and sits down next to Barry
.
"Hey man can I tap out? Keep it" Barry says, handing him a couple hundred, the man takes it and nods at Barry
"Real nice guy eh Linda"
"I'll say, real money bags here" Linda says
"Not really, I just enjoy places like this, where you can make memories"
"Like that singing?"
"Was it bad?"
"Nope, it was some of the best in this place"
"Thanks Linda"
"Your welcome Barry. That woman, was she your girlfriend?"
"Hope so, I'll be the luckiest guy in the world if she says yes" he says, happy smile on his face
.
Linda nods and wishes him luck before leaving, as Caitlin walks back, not looking too good
.
"Barry, I don't feel so good"
"Okay"
.
Barry stands up, wraps his arms around her and speeds her into the street, holding her hair and rubbing her back as she throws up
.
"Ready to go home Cait?"
"...Yeah"
.
He speeds her through the city and back to her apartment building
.
"Are we still running?"
"No, we're home now"
.
Cait walks into her room and tries to take off her heels
.
"That woman you were talking to, who was she?"
"Just someone trying to flirt with me"
"And?"
"I told her I wasn't interested, that I already had a Girlfriend, if she'd have me?"
.
Caitlin wraps her arms around Barry and presses herself close
.
"Awww, Barry, that's so sweet, I'd kiss you, but I don't think I smell too good"
.
She walks towards her bed and tries to take her dress off, only managing half before she gives up. She turns to see Barry, with his back turned to her
.
"Barry, little help?"
"Oh, sure"
.
He speeds her out of the dress and into her Pj's
.
"There you go, saving me from that evil dress"
"Lets get you into bed"
"Oh, Barry's gonna get me into bed" Cait laughs to herself as Barry tucks her in
"Drink lots of water" he says, laying a glass next to her
"Barry...thank you for tonight, can you stay with me until I fall asleep"
"Sure"
.
He sits by her bed, holding her hand until she closes her eyes and snores lightly. He presses a kiss to her forehead and leaves, closing the door to her bedroom and sits on the couch. Barry smiles, a goofy grin, showing just how happy he is. He goes and stands near the window, looking out at the clear sky, and the full moon
.
"With me gone, Julian should be coming to town with the philosophers stone early. I steal that, and I get my suit back. Hmm, gonna have to be careful" he thinks to himself
.
As Barry is thinking to himself, he sees on the opposite building a a figure in yellow, looking back at him, before taking off in a streak of red lightning. Barry shooting off after him. As Barry chases after him, criscrossing the city in streaks of white and red lightning. the two end up in an alley, the man in yellow's face vibrating to hide his identity
.
"Your the one who killed my mother, Why?" He yells, still not believing Eobard Thawn's reasons
"You know who I am Flash, we've been at this a long time you and I. And if you want to know why, then you'll have to catch me."
.
The Man in Yellow takes off again, Barry chasing after him and the two ending up in a coliseum, at opposite sides, facing each other
.
"So, how can I be this 'Flash' whose fought you for this long when I just got my powers"
"Come on Barry, your smart, figure it out"
.
The two run at each other, The man in yellow side swiping Barry's punches at hitting with several of his own. He takes off into the stadium, Barry following, the two fighting at high speed until The Man in Yellow throws him out of the stands and back onto the field
.
"Our race is not yet done. See ya soon Flash" he says, taking off in a red streak of lightning
.
Barry punches the ground and lets out a scream of frustration
.
"Not again, I won't lose to the Reverse Flash again" he says determined as he jumps as a blue screen appears in front of him
.
So you want power? I could give it to you.
All the power you could want, if you just say yes
Y/N
.
He looks at the screen, rubbing his eyes to make sure he is not crazy, before slowly reaching out and pressing yes
.
Congratulations Barry Allen. Welcome to The Game, Savitar
.
So, tell me what you all think. I'm continuing it regardless, already got several chapters, but I'd like the input
.
Yeah, I feel that Felicity could have feasibly taught him these things, and I figured why not?
.
This version of Barry is gonna be more darker than canon, but lighter than Savitar
