[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.]

One: Put the phone down, genius.

Two: I'm starting to see why Joe West dislikes you so much.

[commanderspecs]

Joe West? The singer? Why would he dislike me? I don't even know him.

[He wanders over to a park where he can set the phone down, propping it up a little. When his hands are finally free, he claps his hand and pushes outward, eyes widening almost comically when lightning bolts look like they're shooting from his hands and into a tree]

[vivifier]

Congratulations, Barry Allen. Now you too can begin a life of crime.

[commanderspecs]

[He pales and looks like he's about to hyperventilate. Instead, he passes out]

[vivifier]

[ Oh no. But does Savitar care enough to go and check on him? ]

Hello?

[commanderspecs]

[Nope. Out like a light.]

[vivifier]

[ 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.
