Star Labs

Night

"Cisco?" Jay walked in, seeing Cisco on the floor, traumatized by something. "Are you okay?"

"No, no I'm not," Cisco said in a trembling voiced as he got to his feet. "I Vibed the future, five, six months from now. Savitar, he gets out of the Speed Force. I saw Steve, Clint, Tony, dead. Savitar, he kills Wanda and the baby."

"Cisco, calm down," Jay said as he walked over and put a hand on Cisco's shoulder in an attempt to calm him.

"This is what Savitar meant when he said The Avengers would fall by his hand. In five months, he's gonna kill them, all of them, and leave Barry alive," Cisco rambled in horror.

"You don't know that Cisco," Jay tried to reason.

"I saw it Jay! I saw him murder Wanda and the baby in front of Barry!" Cisco shouted, turning away from Jay in frustration.

"Cisco, just as there are infinite earths, there are infinite possibilities to the future. The future is constantly changing Cisco!" Jay shouted.

"I won't let this happen! I won't let my best friend watch the love of his life and his kid be taken from him!" Cisco shouted back. "I was shown this Vibe for a reason; maybe it was to prevent this!"

"And by doing so, maybe you're setting it all in motion! Nobody should know this much about the future Cisco! Every decision you make could lead to a different outcome!" Jay shouted before softening as he lowered his voice. "Not all your Vibes have come true, have they?"

"No," Cisco admitted. "So what am I supposed to do with this?"

"Live your life Cisco," Jay told him simply.

"You say that like it's so easy," Cisco spat before storming off.

This conversation weighed heavily on Cisco's mind as he waited in the cortex with everyone else for Barry to return. When he walked in, everyone looked up.

"Is it…" Wanda trailed off.

"Lyla said she had a good place to put it and assured me even inside help wasn't a guarantee that it would be able to get out. I think that's as good as its gonna get," Barry said.

Cisco wished he could share his friends' relief, but all he could see was the dead bodies of The Avengers, Savitar plunging his spike into Wanda's back as Barry cried out in horror. Cisco barely stopped the shutter that begged to go through his body, knowing it would cause questions. Questions that Cisco wasn't prepared to answer.

"Guys, come on, its Christmas time!" HR said when he picked up on the somber mood. "We need a little Christmas, right this very minute. Who's with me? BA?"

"He's right. It's Christmas, we should be together," Barry said as he wrapped an arm around Wanda. "Joe's still throwing the party tonight. If you guys still want, it's on."

"Already promised Laura and the kids. After the whole skiing thing, they'll never let it go if I cancel on them now," Clint shrugged.

"I think we could all use some Christmas right now," Steve noted and Natasha and Sam looked like they agreed.

"Julian, you're more than welcome to join us," Barry said as she looked over at his former coworker.

"I actually prefer to be alone at Christmas," Julian said curtly as he made his way towards the exit before pausing and looking back. "Thank you though."

Barry simply nodded as Julian walked out.

West House

Later

"So, what happened this time?" Laura as she noticed Clint wince after the kids had gone off to talk to Natasha.

"I got thrown into a wall by a god," Clint said bluntly and Laura simply stared at him.

"Yeah, I'm not even gonna ask," Laura said.

"I'm retired, that was an emergency," Clint said and Laura laughed.

"It's cute that you think that. You'll never be retired, not really," Laura said and Clint looked at her confused. "Steve called and you came running."

"I didn't do it for Cap," Clint justified as his gaze flickered over to Wanda.

"I know you did it to save Wanda from Ross and Stark. But you and I both know you would gone regardless. Every time they need your help, you go running. It's okay," Laura said her voice softening as she took his hand. "I knew who you were when I married you."

"I made a commitment to you and our kids," Clint said gruffly.

"You also made a commitment to them," Laura said as she looked around the room at Barry and Wanda on the couch to Steve talking to Caitlin in the corner to Sam and Natasha talking to Lila and Cooper. "It was unfair of me to expect you to choose between your two families. You'll drop everything to help them just like you'll drop everything to come to home to us. It's time we stopped fighting that. We'll find a way to make it work, we always do."

"So, our first Christmas together. We stopped the bad guy and we got home in time for Christmas. I'd say we're doing pretty good so far," Barry said as he and Wanda sat on the couch.

"I've only celebrated one Christmas. But if they're like this, minus the part of evil gods coming after us, I could get used to this," Wanda said as she snuggled closer to him.

Barry smiled before he saw Cisco sitting in the chair, deep in thought. Wanda followed his gaze and smirked.

"Go on. He obviously needs you," Wanda said with a smile.

"You are the best, you know that?" Barry kissed her on the cheek before getting up.

Barry had barely been gone a second when Lila bounced over to her. Lila handed her a drawing and Wanda looked down at it. It was a childish drawing of the Barton family, plus Natasha. However, there was a seventh person in the drawing that Wanda couldn't figure out. It had what appeared to be long brown hair, Wanda noticed.

"Who's this sweetie?" Wanda asked, pointing out the seventh figure.

"That's you," Lilia said as if it should be obvious, hugging the stunned Wanda.

"Hey," Barry said as he walked over to Cisco. "You okay?"

"Yeah, fine," Cisco said, shaking his head as if to clear his mind.

"You know, what happened today with Savitar, it wasn't your fault," Barry told him, stumbling upon what he believed to be the root of the problem.

"Yeah, I know," Cisco said honestly and Barry frowned.

"Cisco, if something's bothering you, you can tell me, you know?" Barry told him.

Cisco almost spilled it all right there. Almost. But Jay's words about the future always changing flashed through his mind and, in a decision Cisco had a feeling he'd probably regret, he stomped on the impulse.

"I know," Cisco said instead.

"Wow, that is strong," Steve grimaced as he put the eggnog on the table.

"I thought you couldn't get drunk," Caitlin laughed.

"I can't, doesn't mean I can't taste the alcohol," Steve said gruffly.

As Caitlin laughed, Steve saw something hanging above them. Caitlin saw he was looking at something and followed his gaze. There was mistletoe hanging above them.

"You know, we don't have to-" Steve began.

Maybe it was the eggnog, maybe it was something else. But whatever the reason, Caitlin grabbed him and pulled him into a kiss. For a moment, the rest of the world faded away. But even in this moment of happiness, Steve's senses were highly attuned to the world around him, so he heard the grumbling. Steve slowly pulled away from Caitlin, just in time to see Sam hand a bunch of bills to a smirking Natasha as the rest of The Avengers stood before them, watching with amused smirks on their faces.

"Thanks Cap, you just cost me five bucks," Sam grumbled.

"You bet on this?" Steve asked, not really surprised.

"World's leading expert in waiting too long, remember Steve?" Natasha asked cheekily as they walked off.

"Just one thing: You hurt her, not even Clint or Nat will be able to find your body," Barry told him, deathly serious before he walked off with Wanda.

"He's just joking," Caitlin tried to assure him.

"No, Barry was completely serious," Steve said, taking Caitlin by surprise.

Iris was watching all this from the kitchen, a serious look on her face. She looked away, pain in her eyes as she saw Barry press a kiss to the top of Wanda's head.

"You okay baby?" Joe asked as he walked over.

"No, not really," Iris sighed.

"Look, I know its gonna take some time, but you'll find a way to move on," Joe tried to offer his daughter comfort.

"Except I can't do that here," Iris said.

"What?" Joe asked confused.

"I won't be able to do that here. Like you said, Barry and Wanda, they're going to start a life together. And seeing that…I'm never gonna be able to move on if I see him building this new future with Wanda," Iris said sadly.

"Iris, what are you saying?" Joe asked with a sinking feeling.

"The only way for me to really move on…is to leave. Tomorrow, I'm gonna ask my boss for a transfer to Keystone City News," Iris said to her father's shock and sadness. "It's the only way I'm ever gonna be able to move on dad."

"You sure about this baby?" Joe asked softly and she nodded.

"Yeah, I am," Iris said as she looked up at him. "Don't tell them tonight. It's been long day for them. Don't let my news take this from them."

Whatever response Joe would have had was cut off by a knock at the door. Barry walked over and opened the door and was surprised to see who was on the other side.

"Julian, hey, come in," Barry said, standing aside and letting Julian in, taking his umbrella.

"After everything that happened, being alone felt, well, lonely. Here, this is for you," Julian said as he handed Barry a golden envelope.

"What is it?" Barry asked as he opened it.

"I spoke to Captain Singh and he hadn't put through your resignation paperwork yet. So, if you'd like your old lab back. Or if you'd like to share it again," Julian offered.

Barry singly stared down at the paper for a moment before he out it back in the envelope and handed it back to Julian.

"Thanks Julian, really, but no thanks," Barry said, taking Julian back.

"I thought you'd be jumping for joy, considering I made you give it up," Julian pointed out and Barry chuckled.

"So did I when I gave it up. It's…hard to explain, but I've gone through a lot since then and its changed me. I will always treasure my time with the CCPD, but I think it's time to move on," Barry explained. "Probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense."

"No, it makes perfect sense," Julian told him as he put the envelope back in his pocket. "Merry Christmas mate."

Carolers arrived soon after and Caitlin took off her bracelet briefly to give them all a White Christmas.

"Hey," Cisco said as he walked up to Barry and Wanda. "You guys wanna get out of here? There's something I wanna show you."

Barry and Wanda exchanged a look before shrugging.

"Sure man," Barry agreed.

Central City

Later

"Okay, where are we Cisco?" Barry asked as Cisco led him and Wanda into a empty apartment.

"Home. Well, your home,' Cisco explained.

"What?" Wanda asked confused.

"Well, that room you two have been sharing at Star Labs is kind of small for two, plus with a baby on the way, you guys are gonna need space. So, after we dealt with The Dominators, I called my agent and he found this," Cisco spread his arms wide. "Its two rooms, one for you two and one for the baby. I've paid for everything; you guys just need to sign the lease."

"Cisco, I don't know what to say," Barry said stunned.

"Say yes. I don't know what plan you two have for the future, but for the time being at least, you're staying here. You two shouldn't be forced to bunk at Star Labs with a kid on the way," Cisco said and Wanda smiled.

"Thank you Cisco," Wanda said as she walked over to him, kissing him on the cheek.

As Barry walked over and hugged him, Cisco tried to just enjoy the moment. But every time he closes his eyes, all he could see was Savitar plunging his spike into Wanda's heart as Barry watched in horror.

New York, Earth-66, several weeks later

Night

Pepper Potts was on the phone, talking to a business associate as her and Tony's bodyguard and friend, Happy Hogan, was driving the limo. Suddenly, Happy saw a man standing in the middle of the road.

"What the hell?" Happy asked himself.

The man raised what appeared to be a strange looking gun and fired. But rather than any bullet, what appeared to be a disk shot out and attached itself to the bottom of the limo. Before Happy could say anything to Pepper, the car was rocked by an explosion. The car went flying, flipping over and the man calmly stepped aside as the limo landed hard on its roof, the windows shattering. The man walked over to the back window and knelt down. He reached inside, ignoring the dazed Pepper, and pulled out her cell phone. He ended the call and dialed a new number. When he spoke, it was with a Russian accent.

"Tony Stark. You don't know me. You're about to."
