Central City

Night

"It's like looking in a mirror, isn't it?" Savitar asked, smirking at the stunned Barry.

"This-this can't be possible. You can't be me!" Barry exclaimed once he found his voice and Savitar's smirk only widened.

"But I am you Barry. I am the future Flash," Savitar said mockingly.

"How did you become Savitar?" Natasha asked as The Avengers found their voices and Savitar laughed crazily.

"Cisco knows. Isn't that right buddy?" Savitar asked as they all looked at the stunned Cisco. "He's already seen it."

"My Vibe," Cisco realized and Savitar nodded.

"Yeah, that's where it all started," Savitar confirmed.

"Cisco, what are you talking about?" Barry asked and Cisco looked away.

"When you gave the stone to Lyla, I…had a Vibe. I wanted to tell you, but Jay convinced me not to," Cisco said guilt clouding his features.

"What did you see?" Steve demanded.

"You, Tony, and Clint, all dead," Cisco said, shuttering as a shocked silence descended on them. "Barry was on his knees, he looked like he'd been through the ringer. Savitar had Wanda; she looked like she was ready to give birth soon. And…"

"He killed her," Clint whispered and Cisco nodded, unable to look at any of them.

"And that's where it all started," Savitar repeated, drawing their attention back to him. "You see, what I said was true: Savitar did kill The Avengers. Clint, Steve, Natasha, Sam, Tony, even Bucky and Rhodey were all killed. And he saved the best for last; he murdered Wanda and our unborn child right in front of me. For weeks, the Red Death tormented me with visions of my dead teammates, asking why I couldn't save them. Then one day, I realized that I wasn't able to save them because I wasn't meant to. This was meant to happen."

"We were meant to lose everything?" Barry demanded his emotions clearly visible for all to see his despair at what he was hearing.

"As cruel as it sounds, yes. You see, I realized that I needed to go through that loss to realize what had to happen. So I killed the first Savitar and took his suit," Savitar said as he glanced behind him to his armor. "But Wally, Cisco, Caitlin, Joe, they'd figured out my plan. They knew what I was going to do next. And so Wally went to The Legends and they gave him the technology he needed to trap me in the Speed Force. So I searched for someone who would free me."

"And you found him," Natasha said, shooting a look at Alexei.

"So what, now you're gonna just continue the cycle? Kill us yourself?" Tony demanded and Savitar laughed.

"No, I have no interest in killing you. That was just…part of the plan. I have a much bigger plan in mind," Savitar promised and Barry had heard enough.

"Well what happens if I kill myself right now?" Barry asked as, to the horror of his friends, he held a vibrating hand to his own throat. "You'll never become Savitar."

"Didn't work out so well for Eddie, did it?" Savitar pointed out and Barry stiffened. "He killed himself and Thawne is still running around causing trouble. Because that's the thing about time travel: the more you do it, the less the rules apply to you."

"What do you want?" Wanda snapped and Savitar simply looked at her sadly.

"I'm afraid that's what I can't tell you. Just know that everything I'm doing, I'm doing because I believe it will save lives," Savitar promised.

"Yeah? What about Pepper?" Tony snarled and Savitar simply looked at him blankly.

"A regrettable sacrifice Tony, but a necessary one. I mourn for Pepper as I mourn for all those who have died since I arrived here. But still, it does not change what needs to happen," Savitar held out his hand and Alexei handed him the scepter.

Savitar tapped the hilt of the staff on the ground and suddenly, a blue energy shot out, knocking them all on their backs. As they climbed to their feet, they saw Savitar, Alexei, and the armor were all gone.

"Okay, run this by me again. How exactly can Barry be Savitar?" Joe asked as The Avengers and Team Flash stood in the cortex.

"Okay, it's like this," Cisco said, pulling out a marker as he began writing on a blackboard. "Here is the original timeline where the original Savitar killed The Avengers. That Barry was tormented by hallucinations caused by the Red Death until he had a psychotic break with reality. That Barry then killed the first Savitar and took his armor, becoming The Savitar we've been dealing with. But when our future selves figured out what Savitar was planning, Wally went to the Legends and came back with the technology that would trap Savitar in the Speed Force."

Cisco had drawn a line in the center of the blackboard, drawing a dot on it to symbolize the time where Barry had become Savitar. Cisco then drew another dot and drew an arrow, connecting the two dots.

"And then, Savitar recruited Alexei, creating the new timeline that we're living in right now," Cisco finished.

"What about this other Savitar?" Joe interjected. "Who is he?"

"It doesn't matter. He's dead, we have to deal with the Savitar in this timeline," Natasha said firmly.

"According to him - if Savitar's word can be trusted – your future selves figured out what he was planning and trapped him in the Speed Force before he could do whatever it is. Whatever it is, it can't be good if they were willing to go that far to stop him," Barry noted grimly.

Unspecified location, next day

Morning

A man was walking out of his bedroom, yawning as he thought about what he was going to make for breakfast. However, he stopped as he noticed someone was in his kitchen. Savitar leaned against the counter, sipping a cup of coffee, his scepter in hand.

"Barry?" the man breathed and Savitar smirked as he lowered his coffee to the counter.

"Hello Roy. We need to talk," Savitar said as Roy noticed the look in his eye and had a feeling this was not a social call.
