Multiverse Part 1: Flash Fire

Chapter 9: A Close Call

Cisco had finished fixing the Speed Force Bazooka, and Killer Frost freed Leo from the chair, taking him outside. He saw Savitar tell Killer Frost to kill Cisco, and Leo yelled "No!" Killer Frost shot icicles at Cisco, when suddenly a breach opened up in front of Cisco's chest, and Leo noticed a woman in black clothes grab Cisco and blast both Savitar and Killer Frost, then open up a breach, but Cisco said "Gypsy? Hey, grab the kid!" so the woman grabbed Leo by the collar and all 3 of them jumped through the breach- or, to be more accurate, she yanked Leo and Cisco through the breach. "Whoa!" Leo yelled, before being pulled through the blue portal. They all landed in a house, on a staircase, and both Leo and Cisco tumbled down the stairs, while the woman landed perfectly. Leo watched Cisco and the woman, apparently named "Gypsy" argue, and then he noticed someone who looked almost exactly like H.R and the rest of Team Flash standing nearby. Cisco walked over to them and sighed in relief, saying "I-I thought somethin' happened to you guys, Two-Face told me you guys were dead!" "We're OK." Barry replied. "Hey!" Leo exclaimed, "If you're all done with the reunions, I still need to get these freaking handcuffs off!" "Oh, right." Cisco said. He walked over and removed them, saying "Sorry about that." Leo rubbed his wrists- the handcuffs had left them hurting. Later that day, Cisco revealed that he had sabotaged the Speed Force Bazooka, and everyone headed over to the woods. They arrived to see someone who Barry said was named "Jay Garrick" run out of a lightning-filled portal and knock Savitar down and send him tumbling. Jay zoomed back and said "I've been waiting a long time to do that." "Garrick!" Savitar exclaimed in disbelief, "How did you-" "He didn't," Cisco interrupted, walking up with the others behind him, "I did. By changing the polarity of the climbing arc, I changed your Speed Force Splicer into a Speed Force Skeleton Key. Didn't think I was actually gonna let you become a god now, did you?" "Let's end this." Barry said. "Go!" Killer Frost said, shooting icicles at everyone while Savitar zoomed off. Barry, Jay (who had gotten his helmet back), and Wally all raced after Savitar, while Leo, Cisco, and Gypsy fought Killer Frost. Eventually, Gypsy hit Killer Frost and sent her flying. Then, Cisco walked up with his hand raised, and Killer Frost said "Go ahead, Cisco, go bad." After a tense moment, Cisco lowered his hand and Leo sighed with relief, and Cisco also gave Killer Frost a cure to become Caitlin again. Cisco walked back toward Leo and Gypsy, when all of a sudden Gypsy shouted "Look out!" but she was too late- a white blur knocked them all over, and Savitar grabbed Cisco by the throat. "You'll pay for what you did," Savitar said, beginning to vibrate his hand, "and you can die the same way twice." He was about to thrust his hand forward, when Leo got up and yelled "No!" and both he and Caitlin (as her normal persona, not Killer Frost) shot blasts at him, sending him into a tree. After a long battle, involving Barry using his phasing power to shatter Savitar's armor and Savitar getting shot in the back (by Iris, which was very ironic), everyone headed back to S.T.A.R Labs- only for the others to tell Leo, Wally, and Cisco about H.R and his sacrifice. "H.R is-is dead?" Leo exclaimed, "But-" and then he realized what H.R had done. He remembered finding the "light-refraction" device, and he realized that it could change someone's face into someone else's face- along with their clothes, and everything. H.R had used the face-changer to swap places with Iris when he found Savitar's lair, and when Killer Frost had knocked out H.R, it had actually been Iris. Leo wasn't sure whether to be angry or sad, so he settled on punching something. Cisco, though, just seemed purely sad, and Wally choked up a little. And then, it was time to go to H.R's funeral. Leo realized that he didn't know H.R that well, but H.R had still been like a close cousin to him or something. So Leo put on a suit (even though he hated wearing one) and went to pay his respects, along with the rest of Team Flash. (Except for Caitlin, who wasn't Killer Frost anymore, but was oddly missing.)
