The almightystands tall before us and I'm doing my best to stay anchored to my spot next to Barry—his hand still around my arm. We listen to the self proclaimed god of speed babble about the Greek myth of Atlas, who could not put down the sky until someone took his place. He compares the myth to our current situation as he paces closer to us, the closest he is the fastest I can put my hands on him—or I could, since Barry's making sure to keep certain distance between the speedster and us by taking a few steps back.
"How do I get him out?" I hear Barry ask hastily. He's not letting go of my arm any time soon, so I just stand by him, letting rage build up inside me. Savitar doesn't reply to him, he looks at me instead.
"Finally, face to face again, Violett Hale," he purrs, taking a step closer. I'm about to do the same but Barry's hand pulls me closer, "How heroic, you know, you taking Wally's place. It's really a shame and sad that it didn't work," he snaps, "what a hero you turned out to be, Fast Track."
"How do I get him out!" Barry demands again, his voice filled with rage and not letting me bark something back at Savitar. I can feel the Speed Force going wild inside of the green eyed man that stands next to me; he's had enough, and so have I.
"Wally's gone," Savitar growls, and I feel a sharp pain in my chest because I know it's true. We can't get him out of the Speed Force that easily, he's most likely gone for good. I clench my jaw and I feel my hands curling into fists as they itch to pull his eyes out, slowly and painfully. Each word he says fuels the fire he's ignited within me, "He's suffering in an endless void for all eternity. Another victim Barry Allen failed to save!"
His last words are what pull the trigger in Barry. The hand around my arm disappears, I feel a smirk touching my lips when I see him barrelling towards our opponent, I let him make the first move, I'll get my chance later. After all, Savitar is out of the Speed Force and he can't go anywhere I can't find him now. The two speedsters ram into each other for the first time and both are sent back by the impact, both manage to keep their ground. Savitar speeds away first, closely followed by The Flash and I. We see him get inside the old factory and we do the same, yet we go on different ways. I have always loved being stealthy and I'm really good at it, so I look for a place to surprise the speed god. From where I stand, I see the back of the man in the armour in the centre of the alley, Barry's in front of him and I stay as quiet as I can, ready to act.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Barry screams, his voice echoing throughout the alley.
"If you had the strength to end my life, you would have done it in the future," Savitar states, stepping closer to him, "but Barry Allen doesn't kill, he's the good guy, he's the boy Joe raised, he's the hero—"
