"Holy winter wonderland." Barry muttered as Anna and Iris trailed behind him into the cortex.

"I know right?" Anna asked.

"Well, I guess Earth-19's Christmas is just like ours."

"Some traditions are multi-versal." HR smiled.

"So, um... any more info on Savitar?" Barry looked to Caitlin.

"Nope, all the we know is that he's a speed god and you're the only one who can see him." Caitlin motioned to the siblings.

"All right, well, Alchemy is Savitar's high priest and he gets his power from the stone that he uses to create meta, so I was thinking if we can find out what that thing is, maybe we can figure out how to stop him." Barry explained.

"I want to see if I can dig something up."

"Okay." Barry said as Anna stood over Caitlin's chair.

"You know, this is out first christmas together, and we're sitting here, worrying about a fake god." She muttered into her ear.

"Our lives are crazy."


"Hey, uh, I got a dissertation here from Oxford University about the myth of an ancient Hindu weapon called the Brahmastra. Legendary artifact with incredible powers, capable of... wait for it... Creating meta-humans." Cisco motioned to the picture on the computer.

"Guys, that looks just like Alchemy's stone."

"More importantly... look who wrote this paper." Cisco said as a face moved to the screen.

"Julian?"





"We've read every Hindu textbook there is on mythology and spirits and demigods and nothing. No mention of Savitar, not once." Barry muttered as Anna sped through another book, then throwing it at the wall.

"In my experience, the answers usually tend to come in time." Jay Garrick from earth-3 explained.

"Yeah, I can't just sit back and wait for Savitar or Alchemy to attack."

"You can't worry about what may or may not lie ahead. Besides... it's Christmas. A time to be with the ones you care about." Jay looked around.

"You know, it's just, Savitar's still out there."

"Yeah, but not right now. And your beautiful girlfriend's are. Get your head's out of the books and back into your life with your loved ones while you have them." Jay said as Anna rendered his words.





"Caitlin?" Anna asked as she walked into the cortex.

"Here." Caitlin yelled back in the medbay. "Sorting some things."

"Hey." Anna said, wrapping her arms around her before Barry sped in.


"I think that Julian is connected to Doctor Alchemy." Barry explained after the group had come together.

"Jay, we got a hit. There's energy coming from the top of the Schults building." Cisco motioned to the screen.

"Are you ready?" Barry motioned to Jay and Anna.

"Stupid stone." She muttered, speeding into her suit.

"Ready."

"All right." Barry said as Wally argued with Joe. They all sped out of the room, to where they found Alchemy using a stone.

"It's over, Alchemy!" Barry yelled before lightning crashed and Savitar appeared behind them.

"Please tell me you're seeing him." Barry begged.
