The Daxam Four (Legends of Superflarrow)

Chapter Eight

Here's hoping there's no need to call anyone out for asking for an update. *crosses fingers*

Anyway, hello, everyone! Yes, I am still alive. I just needed time to make sure I knew what I was doing. Transcripts are easy to get through. It's not as easy writing an original story when you need to come up with new plotlines AND new dialogue AND making sure you get the characters as close to correct as possible. Begging me for updates does not make me go faster. I would not have gotten this chapter done the way I did had people kept bugging me.

Speaking of the chapter, here we are! The Daxam Four keep discussing Savitar, a certain someone is also discussed, and a new POV at the end!

Enjoy chapter eight!

"OK, I've faced some pretty messed up people, but this is a whole new level of messed up," Sara rubbed her temples.

"I'm Savitar," Barry repeated blankly as Kara rubbed his back. "That . . . why did I never think of that?"

"Barry," Oliver began.

"He gave me everything!" Barry gestured wildly.

"Barry – "

"Speedster, knowing the team, the future Flash – "

"Barry!" Oliver snapped, cutting his friend off. He put his hand on Barry's shoulder, giving him a stern look. "Your main concern was Savitar killing Iris. A threat to someone you love can screw with your head to the point something obvious isn't. Sometimes you need someone to point these things out to you, and that's what just happened."

Barry sighed, rubbing his forehead. "But what if we hadn't figured this out until just a few days before Iris's death?"

"We won't know," Sara shrugged. "What's important is that we know who Savitar is now, and hopefully we can figure something out to defeat him."

"But Kara and the Daxamites – "

Sara snorted loudly. "Didn't we just clarify we were going up against all of our enemies? The Daxamites and the time traveling maniacs and Savitar. We're in a stalemate with Thawne, Merlyn, and Darhk right now, and if the Daxamites are anywhere near as strong as Kara – "

"They've got super strength," Kara confirmed.

"Then we need time to think of how we take them on," Sara nodded. "So we're gonna help you, Barry. It might be easiest to take Savitar on first, anyway." When Oliver raised an eyebrow, Sara rolled her eyes. "All right, a speedster who thinks he's a god or a speedster with two former League members as his goons? Which do you prefer, Ollie?"

"Savitar," he sighed. "All right, so we know it's a version of Barry from the future. How could he have ended up this way?"

"Maybe because I know Savitar is me, it has to happen?" Barry tilted his head.

"Barry, you love Iris so much," Kara shook her head. "There is no way, knowing the future or not, that you would want to kill her." She paused, then put her face in her hands. "You're right, Sara – this is messed up."

"I agree with Kara, though," Oliver frowned as Sara patted Kara's shoulder comfortingly. "In what universe would Barry want to kill Iris?"

"Could it be an alternate universe, though?" Sara tilted her head, folding her arms. "I get the concept, but is there any way it could be so similar?"

"I don't know," Barry admitted. "On Earth-2, Caitlin, Cisco, and Ronnie were evil."

Oliver nodded slowly, then tilted his head. "And who else there was evil, Barry?" he asked casually, but there was a tinge of anger there, too.
