5 MONTHS FROM NOW.

Barry's standing out in the open, staring at Savitar. Iris is in the hand of the god of speed.

"Savitar, don't do this," Barry pleads.

"Too late, Flash," the speedster growls.

"Barry," Iris says. "I love you."

"Don't say that," Barry's eyes fill with panic. "I'm going to get you out of this."

Without a second thought, I teleport, and snatch Iris from Savitar. The sound of metal echoes in my ears.

I must've just missed Savitar's blade, because he lets out a roar of frustration.

I shove Iris over to Barry. "Go, I got this."

"We're not leaving you," Iris says firmly.

"Its best that Savitar kills me than you, Iris," I turn in the direction of the god of speed.

"Sky," Barry says. "What am I supposed to do without you?"

"Run, Barry." I look him in the eye. "Run!"

Then the feeling of coldness rips through my abdomen.

"NOOO!" Barry yells.

I fall towards the ground. Barry catches me, and lowers me to the grass.

"G-get Iris out of here... Or else you'll have... two dead people," I choke out.

"I've got to save you..." Barry's eyes brim with tears, as he leans over me.

"Its okay... You and Iris were... meant for each other anyway... N-not me..."

I catch a glimpse of red by a tree. Two Barrys?  No, that can't be. Unless...  I see another speedster grab the other Barry. The other speedster was Jay Garrick. But the last time Jay was here was five months ago. The other Barry from the past jumped to the future.

"Its part of the job, Barry. I'll... I'll be okay." I smile gently, and close my eyes.

PRESENT DAY.

"Cisco! Put the box away!" I shout. "Cisco. I'm not kidding."

My friend looks up at me. "No," he answers. "Dante's here."

I find myself staring at a Decepticon looking monster. Its Savitar. "I...can see him. I can see Savitar," I try to remain calm. I'm not a speedster. So, how can I see him?

"And now, you die," the god of speed rasps.

Oh crap. I'm snagged off my feet, and thrown like a toy. I slam into a wall. "Gah!" I crumble into a heap. I raise my head, and see the huge metallic beast walking towards me.

A bolt of lightning smacks right into Savitar. The god of speed roars, "you will pay, Flash!"

"No, you will," Barry goes in to punch him in the face.

I teleport, and lunge out at Savitar. "You're done playing puppet master!" I send a massive voltage of electricity into the monster's chest.  

The speed god yells in rage, and agony. He's then gone in a blink, and flings Barry right into a steel wall.

I hold a ball of energy in my palms. "You think that electrocution was bad? Try this--"
