Return of the Flash

3. 1 or 38?

"What's the Black Flash?" Alex asked.

"The Black Flash was created by the Time Wraiths using Zoom's body to enforce the integrity of the space-time continuum. Basically, it hunts speedsters who messed up with space-time continuum in a really bad way." I explained.

"What's a Time Wraith?" Kara asked.

"Time Wraiths are the enforcer of the Speedforce which hunts speedster who messed with time but didn't know what they're doing." I said and quoted Eobard's sentence from the time when I ran back in time to get faster.

"Wow, that's a lot to learn about." Alex commented. Truth be told, I did take a week to understand all the Speedforce rules.

"And Savitar?" J'onn asked. I was sure I looked tense the moment I heard the name.

"Savitar was Barry's enemy who killed..." Kara looked into my eyes, "Iris."

"I'm sorry." J'onn said, remembering who Iris is. I smiled and thanked him.

"Anyway, let me get this straight. Your enemy, Eobard Thawne, aka Reverse Flash, was from the future. He went back in time and tried to kill you, but your future-self got there in time and grab your younger self away. So Thawne stabbed your mother through your heart but then he lost his speed. So he founded STAR Labs and created you so that he could take away your speed and go back home. But his ancestor, Eddie, killed himself and erased him from existence. Later on, you created an alternate timeline and locked up Thawne, but realized things got worse so you allowed him to kill your mother again and got away. Since then he had been messing with the space-time continuum. And his action pissed the Black Flash. So it killed Thawne and erased him from existence again." J'onn said. Cisco and I nodded. "Then how's he still alive?"

"We don't know. But one thing we are sure is that Lex Luthor used the Spear of Destiny from this Earth to bring back Eobard Thawne. And somehow Savitar or whoever he is involved in this." Cisco finished.

"This is definitely weirder than the dealing with aliens." Kara commented.

"Wait, the spear from this Earth?" Alex asked.

"We also had a spear on my Earth. But it was destroyed by Team Legends." I answered.

"Team Legends?"

"A group of time-traveling heroes on Barry's Earth." Kara replied.

"So now that Thawne is back and he's working with Lex." I said, "Should we ask for Bruce's help?"

"Maybe later. He's dealing with a psychopath in Gotham named Joker." Alex answered.

"That's better than the Tricker." Cisco commented, "Not a good time?"

"No." The Earth-38 inhabitants said.

"Also, how's the inter-communication system?" I asked.

"We are working on it. Should be able to finish within a few days." J'onn said.

~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~

We were monitoring the activity of National City, searching for any signs of anomalies. There was an alien with fire-breathing powers causing chaos near National City Bank. I got there and knocked him out quickly. Then grabbed him to the DEO and locked him up.

"Where's Supergirl?" J'onn asked when he realized Kara wasn't there.

"Oh, she went to her apartment." I said, "She's upset that Clark's in coma. So she wanted to be alone for a while."

"Barry, can I talk to you?" Alex asked. I glanced at Cisco, wondering what she wanted to talk, "Yeah, sure." I followed her lead and went into a medical room. She closed the door and sat in front of me.
