[How does this happen. How. How. Barry moves out of the way when he sees a stampede of...vikings?! He's standing out on a sidewalk somewhere downtown, not seeing a familiar sight anywhere. At least not like how it is back home. He sends out the all video signal]

Just what the heck is going on here?! Who's Gideon? Where am I?!

[He's hyperventilating or close enough to it, not amused at what is going on, and tries to make sense of it all.]

[ Sigh. Fine. Barry's lucky he has his speed back. Sure, he may have still not bothered getting the cast removed yet, but he can still run. And run he shall, right to wherever it is Barry's at. Where he'll just frown down at the other man. Sure. ]

[commanderspecs]

[hes on the grass and there’s definitely a charred tree nearby]

[vivifier]

[ He'll just wait for him to wake up, then. He really doesn't want to get thrown through the air again. ]

[commanderspecs]

[Eventually, Barry stirs and moans, sitting up. He’s confused as to where he is and sits up straighter when he sees him]

...I was hoping all that was a dream.

[vivifier]

No such luck for you, I'm afraid.

[commanderspecs]

How did this happen?!

[ he’s not screeching; just speaking rapidly at a high pitch ]

[vivifier]

I don't know, Barry. Did you run around in some dark matter?

[commanderspecs]

[He snorts and gets up onto his feet, brushing crass off of his clothes and fiddling with his bowtie]

Yeah, I go around, running straight into Dark Matter for fun.

[vivifier]

Well, have you woken up in a cocoon lately?

[commanderspecs]

Why would I—what—No!

[vivifier]

Oh relax, Number three, I'm sure it's just a side effect of being here.

[commanderspecs]

My name is Barry Allen.

[He glowers at him and there's a current that runs over his skin that's barely visible.]

[vivifier]

[ Oh, just try it, he dares you.

Or don't. Secretly, he'd probably rather not. ]


I doubt anyone will call you that.

[commanderspecs]

Just like how there are many people out there named Rebecca and Patty and Joseph and Eddie, they will call me that and need to learn to differentiate whatever other Barry Allens there are here with me on their own.

[vivifier]

Guess we'll see. Are you done passing out all over the place? Going to blow up another tree? [ Can he go and be annoyed at your existence? ]

[commanderspecs]

The tree?

[He looks at it then pushes a hand through his hair, shocked that he did that]

Oh my gosh.

[vivifier]

[ Savitar sighs. ]

Like I said, welcome to being a meta.

[commanderspecs]

[He swallows thickly and looks down at his hands. Not what he had imagined when he woke up this morning.]

[vivifier]

You're fine.

[commanderspecs]

Fine?!

[He pulls at his collar]

Jeeze. This is--this is--I-I-I don't even know where to begin with this!

[vivifier]

Are you injured? Are you dying? Being chased by Vikings or weird skeleton monsters? Is everyone you know dead? No. You've got a new ability and time to figure out how to use it. Relatively, you are fine.

[commanderspecs]

Relatively! Just relatively fine!

[vivifier]

You could be a lot worse off, Barry Allen.

[commanderspecs]

It's a lot to wrap one's head around, Mr. Garrick. A lot

[vivifier]

You make me feel like I've walked into a Jane Austen novel, you know that? [ He shrugs. ] Now you know how the rest of them feel.
