Multiverse Part 1: Flash Fire

Chapter 6: Confusion

"I don't get it, how in the world can Savitar be you, Barry?" Joe asked, "And if he is you, why would he hurt Iris?" "To answer your first question, he's a time remnant of me. To answer your second question, I don't know." Barry replied, "H.R, how's Tracy coming up with the device?" "Good, good, yeah, slow." H.R replied. "Yeah, well, please try to work faster." Barry said. "Can do." said H.R, and he walked off. "What's this device you guys keep talking about?" Leo asked. "Oh," Cisco explained, "it's a device that we can theoretically use to trap Savitar in the Speed Force." Leo nodded, and then asked "Hey, Barry, do you know what happened to Savitar's face?" Barry shook his head. "Guys," Wally said, "if Savitar is a version of Barry from the future, and he knows everything that Barry does, how are we ever gonna come up with a plan to stop him?" Leo said "Stop Barry from making new memories?" and everyone looked at him. "What?" Leo asked defensively. Then he realized how weird it sounded, and said "Sorry. I just said the first thing that came to my mind." "No, that's it!" Cisco exclaimed, "That just might work!" And so, Cisco took Barry to a device that could apparently help him stop making short-term memories into long-term memories, or, at the very least, stop Savitar from using Barry's memories against Team Flash. The first try failed (miserably), but after a while, Barry regained his memories (long story), and they all went out to celebrate that night, and of course Leo went along, as well. The next day, he and Cisco were the first ones at S.T.A.R Labs, and Leo found a small cylinder device. As soon as he touched it, he could feel its inner workings, and he was impressed at how advanced it was. "I wonder what it does..." Leo thought aloud, when H.R and Tracy came in and H.R said "Oh, my light refraction device! I thought I had lost it!" and he took it from Leo after thanking him for finding it. "By the way, Leo," Tracy asked, "where did you spend the night?" Leo and Cisco both said "At Cisco's apartment." although Cisco (obviously) said "my apartment." Then, they both looked at each other and said "OK, that's weird. Hey, stop it! Stop. Stop. Stoooooooop-" and Cisco put his hand over Leo's mouth for a second, then took it off. "Hey," Leo said, "if we just had the exact same thoughts, is it possible that we're-" "Dopplegangers of each other?" Cisco finished, and then they both grinned and fist-bumped. "Now," Cisco said, "H.R. Tracy, and I have to go work on the device." "OK." Leo said, "I guess I'll just walk around outside-" suddenly, he was cut off by Barry and Wally racing in, with Joe and Iris holding on to them. Leo jumped and said "Don't do that, guys! It gives me the heebie-jeebies!" Barry and Wally both apologized while laughing, and Leo went to walk outside. He had gone around the block when suddenly he felt a cold hand on his shoulder, and he whirled around- to find nobody there. I'm just imagining things, Leo thought. He walked back into the cortex and found the team discussing the device, which H.R and Tracy had apparently named the "Speed Force Bazooka". He snorted at the name and turned to walk out like the others- when he saw Killer Frost blocking the way out. He turned back around fast, then turned towards the exit again, only to find that his mind had been playing another trick on him. "Gah!" Leo yelped, putting his hands on both sides of his head. Cisco walked over and asked "Something wrong, dude?" Leo shook his head and replied "No, I just keep seeing Killer Frost everywhere." Cisco nodded and said "Don't worry about it. Maybe it'll stop in time." Leo shakily replied "Yeah, maybe you're right. I'm just paranoid." and together they walked out of the room. Later that day, when the sun was setting, Leo was walking to Cisco's apartment, when he suddenly felt chilly. It's probably just the colder night air, Leo thought. And he walked to Cisco's apartment.
