Vandal Savage

Weeks Later

CC Jitters

It took a minute but things slowly but surely began to get back to normal for Naruto, he was thankful for the help of his friends who gave him enough space, but still made sure he knew that they were there for him Oliver, Diggle, Laurel, Thea, and Felicity had came to support him as well and it was discovered by Oliver and Laurel that the man's child William was alive the mother wanted Oliver to keep it a secret from everyone but Naruto who had tested the DNA told him he owed it to Laurel as with everything fhey been through that was something to big for her not to know especially when they were set to get married

Jay had reached out as well, turns out his dad had made peace with him when he got out, Naruto didn't really know what to make of the situation but he decided to give him a chance since Jay was his last blood relative

Joe had been talking with Francine, and hasn't met his daughter yet, but he was waiting anxiously

Currently as Harry, and Caitlin worked on ways to make him faster, Naruto, had took Kendra on a dinner date, although Kendra wanted to stop at Jitters first, after she unlock the door, and the two walked in she smiled and held up her keys "Advantages of a trusting manager."

Naruto smiled, as she turned on the lights "Nice. So what's up? I thought we were gonna go to dinner." he asked only for her to indicate to a table where wine bottles and two lids were seated

"Whoa. What's going on here?" Naruto asked

"I couldn't decide which restaurant to go to, so I thought we would create our own." Kendra smiled walking over and pulling the lid off of of a plate "Voila. Short rib, Yukon gold puree, and asparagus. Got to have a vegetable."

"This is nice." Naruto smiled looking at the plate

"I like to cook." Kendra smiled brightly before she gestured to the two bottles of wine "I didn't know if you like red or white, so I got you both."

"That's kind of dangerous, don't you think?" Naruto smiled

"You're not gonna be called away all of a sudden, are you?" Kendra asked

"Trust me, even if I am, I'm staying with you." Naruto said

"Good." Kendra smiled walking around the table to stand in front of Naruto "You know, it's been really great hanging out these last few weeks. You, Caitlin, and Linda have really helped make the move a lot easier, so thanks."

"You're very welcome." Naruto smiled pulling Kendra into a kiss, but he was forced to pull away when a man speaking Egyptian was heard causing the two to turn toward the entrance to see a man walking forward

"Sorry. How did you get in here?" Kendra asked as Naruto frowned feeling something off about this guy

"You're just as beautiful in this life, as in any Chay-Ara." the man said

"Priestess?' Kendra asked with a raised eyebrow

"Look, you're going to have to go dude." Naruto said stepping front of Kendra

"Oh, not without her, dude." the man said opening his jacket where multiple blades were seen causing Kendra to gasp, as Naruto narrowed his eyes

"Oh my god. Nathan." Kendra said holding onto Naruto "I don't understand what do you want?"

"I believe I was clear." the man said pinning a blade on his palm

"She's not going anywhere with you.' Naruto said

"You think you can stop me, boy?" the man asked before he tensed when a hand was placed on his shoulder

"Yes, I do." Naruto said behind the man, as he tightened his grip on the man and threw him out the doors, now holding the man's knife, before he turned to Kendra who was looking at him in shock, before he sped up to her "I'll explain later." he said before he picked her up bridle style and sped off

Uzumaki Industries

Kendra looked around the cortex in awe, as Joe, Iris, Cisco, Caitlin, Linda, and Harry watched her "I can't believe your the Flash." Kendra said before she looked to Linda "And that you Lady Flash."

"This is the same knife, that was used to kill the men at the docks, only this blade is old, I'd say ancient Egypt." Naruto said looking at the knife

"Do you know why this guy would be after you?" Linda asked

"No, I never seen him before in my life." Kendra said

"Let me see something." Naruto said walking over to a computer and running facial rec on the man from footage from Jitters security cams, and blinked when a picture of the man appeared from 1975 "Well, our knife throwing psycho path name is Vandal Savage, and he either is immortal, or he doesn't age. Great."

"Why would someone like that be after me, I mean I've grew up in Wisconsin and never even left the states?' Kendra asked

Cisco suddenly gained a glazed over look on his face, as Naruto fingers sped across the keyboard and he frowned "Um, Kendra?"

Kendra walked over and gasped when she a picture of herself, along with a man and a child at a fair, from the 1950's

"That's me." she gasped, before an alarm blared and a video of some guy in a mask, with a mask was hammering away on the security box,

"What the hell?" Naruto asked before he and Linda sped outside only to see the man wasn't there but the power to the building had been cut, hearing a scream and gunfire they raced to the cortex to see everyone looking to a destroyed window

"What happened?" Naruto asked

"That guy, he came in and grabbed Kendra, and flew away."

"Flew?" Linda asked

"Yeah, he had these huge hawk wings." Cisco nodded, and Naruto and Linda both sped off while Cisco got to work tracking the hawk man and Kendra, while Harry left to continue working on his speedster drug

Moments Later

Purple, and White streaks sped through the city as Naruto and Linda worked to find Kendra "Give us something, Cisco." Linda said

"I'm on it." Cisco said searching

With Kendra

The masked man landed on a rooftop, and held ulhis hands up, when Kendra pushed him away from her as she backed away while he took off his mask, and smiled at her "Wow. You look as beautiful as ever." the man said stepping toward her only for her to step back "Chay-Ara, it's me, Khufu."

Kendra blinked before she got flashes of herself, and Khufu in ancient Egypt together "Do you remember." Khufu said "You need to wake up."

'What're you talking about?" Kendra asked "I don't know who you are."

"You will once you've emerged, until then you need to stay by my side, so that I may protect you." Khufu said

"From what?"

"The man whose hunting you, Vandal Savage." Khufu said only for her to look at him causing him to sigh "I know this is a lot to take on but I need you to ugh!"

Kendra jumped when Linda appeared and kicked Khufu off the roof, before she grabbed her and they were gone

Khufu, called upon his wings to stop himself from falling, when he saw a white streak of light zipping through the street and sensed Chay-Ara, so as quickly as he could he followed it, pushing himself when he saw that the streak if light was pulling away unaware of the purple streak of lightning racing across the rooftops before the streak jumped over him, and he grunted when pain erupted in his back sending him crashing into an alleyway were he slammed harshly into the ground, as Naruto who was standing on him got off of him and kicked him into his back to see that the man was unconscious,

Uzumaki Industries

Khufu groaned as winced in pain, as his back ached before he saw that he was in a cell, and quickly stood up to see Naruto, and Linda, watching him "Where is she?" Khufu asked

"Who are you?" Naruto asked

"You're putting her in danger, and I'm the only one capable of saving her!" Khufu yelled

"You have a pretty interesting definition of what the word saving means." Linda said

"She's the love of my life, sweetheart. I was not going to hurt her." Khufu replied "You need to let me go."

Naruto was going to speak when he looked over his shoulder to see Kendra walk up "My name is Kendra Saunders." she said

"In this life. And I am...was Carter Hall, but that is not who we are."

"What does that even mean?" Kendra asked

"You're Priestess Chay-Ara, and I am Prince Khufu. And we're lovers." Carter said causing Naruto to snort "We're soul mates. We've been partners for 4000 years. In each life, we're drawn together and after we doe, we reincarnate, and do it again, and again, and again. And now that I found you we need to get out of here."

"Okay, cool it." Linda said

"What does Vandal Savage have to do with Kendra?" Naruto asked

"In every lifetime he hunts us down, and kills us. He's done it 206 times, and I'm not planning on making it to 207." Carter said

"Why does he kill you?" Naruto asked

"His life force is tethered to ours, the more he kills us the stronger he gets." Carter said

"So what your saying is, that for the past 4000 years, you, and Kendra have been lovers and Vandal Savage has hunted you both down and killed you in every lifetime." Linda said

'Do you really think your her best bet?" Naruto asked

"And what is running fast going to do to an immortal?" Carter asked

"Well, I have you know I have a long list of skills, running fast is just my favorite among them." Naruto said before he looked to Kendra "What do you want to do?"

"Me?" Kendra asked

"This is your life Kendra; you should have a decision in this." Naruto said as Kendra frowned and looked to Carter

"You said I needed to emerge, how?" Kendra asked

"I can show you; you just need to let me out." Carter said getting a nod from Kendra who looked to Naruto who sighed and let the man out

"How'd you know Kendra was in Central City?" Naruto asked

"I didn't at first, I came because I had found out that the Staff of Horus, was here, and I sensed her." Carter said

"Staff of Horus, why is that important?"

'It's a relic from our past, and if Savage gets his hands on it he would be unstoppable."

"Cisco." Naruto called

"Yeah?" Cisco said over the intercom

"See if you can find the staff."

"On it."

Naruto looked to Kendra "Let's help you grow wings shall we." he smiled which she returned

Later

The four, had moved to a nearby 20 stories building and were on the roof, as Carter explained how it worked "And this is how she emerges. She just falls towards her death?" Linda asked

"Yep. 4,000 years of experience says that's exactly how. Just watch and learn." Carter said

"This can't be happening." Naruto sighed pinching the bridge of his nose before he saw Kendra get up on the ledge "Hey. Hey. Hey!"

"I need to try." Kendra said

"Are you serious?" Linda asked

"Yes, she is." Carter said pushing Kendra who screamed as she fell, and Naruto immediately sprang forward and caught Kendra before she could hit the ground and ran back up to the roof, before he immediately grabbed Carter and forced him into the wall with his hand around his throat

"What the hell was that?" Naruto asked glaring

"It's the only way to get her to emerge." Carter said with a grunt from the vice grip Naruto had on his neck "Something is blocking her."

"I think your help is the thing that's going to get her killed." Naruto said glaring at the man before he released him, "I'll take care of this."

"You have experience in reincarnating warrior priestess?" Carter asked as Naruto walked over to Kendra

"I might." Naruto said before Linda, and Carter watched as he had Kendra step away and sit across from him "You okay?"

"Yea- no, this is just a lot to take in, I'm a barista."

"You don't have to do this, if you want to stop, we can stop Savage another way."

"I don't think it's that simple." Kendra said, with a sigh "I have other lives inside of me, I want to know about them."

"Than what's the problem?" Naruto asked only for Kendra to glance to Carter "Oh, bird boy keeps talking about how your fated to be together, and you think that means you have to give up being Kendra Saunders."

"That's right." Kendra nodded

"You know what I think?"

"What's that?"

"I think there is no such thing as fate. I think in your past life times you chose to love Carter, Khufu whoever he is, because he understood your predicament, and it became easier to fall in love with him because of your memories from your past lives." Naruto said causing Kendra to nod and glance over to Carter who was watching as Linda was on her phone "One of the many things I believe everyone is given, is a chance to choose for themselves what they want. You want to know who you are, am d who you've been start with your first life. Not the warrior she apparently was, but the woman herself."

Kendra smiled at Naruto before Linda walked up "Nate, that was Cisco, he found the staff. It was consecrated eight months ago at St. Mark's Church."

"Alright, stay with them." Naruto said getting a nod from Linda, before he looked to Kendra "Believe in yourself Kendra, doubt in oneself is a person's greatest weakness."

Kendra nodded, and Naruto sped off

Uzumaki Industries

Harrison was working on his speed drug Velocity 6, Caitlin, and Cisco were off in Cisco's workshop working on something for Cisco to use to help him control his own powers when he heard "Put your hands in the air."

Blinking the man turned to see Patty with her gun on him "Who are you?" he asked raising an eyebrow

"You're under arrest. Doctor McGee was right. She did see you." Patty said looking at the man in surprise

"Christina McGee?" Harry asked raising an eyebrow

"At Mercury Labs. You're Harrison Wells." Patty said

"Yes, I'm Harrison Wells. I'm not the Harrison-" Harry tried to explain with his syringe gun in hand

"Stop! You move closer, and I'll shoot." Patty said only for Harry to begin walking forward

"Give me that"

Bang!

Harry's eyes widened as he was shot, and fell to the ground, just as Caitlin, and Cisco walked in "Oh, my God, what have you done?" Caitlin asked running over with Cisco "Harrison? Harrison, stay with me."

"Patty, why did you shoot him?" Cisco asked looking up at his girlfriend

"I thought that was a gun. I'm sorry. I'll call 911." Patty said reaching for her cellphone

"No, don't!" Caitlin screamed

"Why?" Patty asked

"Because this...just help us, and I'll explain everything okay." Cisco said pulling Patty over to Caitlin

St. Mark's Church

Naruto sped into the church and groaned with her didn't see the staff "Damn, I'm to late." he said to himself

"Something you're not used to saying very often, I'd imagine." Vandal said walking out the back with the staff

"You're gonna leave Kendra alone." Naruto said

"I can't do that. While my destiny is to live forever, Chay-Ara's is to die, as is yours now." Vandal replied before the staff glowed blue, and fired a ray of energy at Naruto whose eyes widened before he dodged and sped in, before proceeding to try to snatched the staff but a barrier sprang up flinging him back into the church pews, immediately he sprang back up when Vandal kept firing bolts of energy from the staff,

"Can't take the staff, but I can still punch him." Naruto thought before he sped in and punched Savage in the gut sending him flying into a cross, while Naruto held onto two daggers he had pulled from the man's trench coat

Naruto watched as the man got up as he twirled the daggers testing their weight "It's been a minute since I used daggers, let's hope I'm not to rusty."

"Aah!" Vandal, swung his staff forward, only for Naruto to weave to the right and slice Vandal in the leg, and stab him in the kidney, before he ripped the blade out and slashed Vandal across the face taking an eye causing the man to scream in pain, before Naruto punched him in the jaw, sending him across the church

"I like kunai, better." Naruto said looking at the blades, before he saw Vandal get up clutching his face as blood dripped down his face

"I'm going to kill everyone you've ever loved." Vandal hissed

"Doubtful." Naruto commented as Savage reached for the staff, but Naruto stomped on his hand "You made a mistake coming to this city, to hurt Kendra. How about we test the limits of your immortality shall we."

Vandal looked into the eyes of Naruto and couldn't help but notice in all his 4000 years of life, no one he's ever met had eyes like those, before the cry of birds chirping sounded throughout the church and pain was all he knew

With Linda, and Kendra

Linda, and Kendra were on the rooftop together while Carter went to get coffee, Kendra had got back on the ledge and took Naruto's advice and focused on herself, and believed, "Carter was right. Something's holding me back. Maybe it's Central City or you, and Nate or what I thought my life was gonna be, but I'm never gonna become who I really am unless I let go. I have to do this."

"I support your decision, but if it doesn't work I will save you." Linda said causing Kendra to nod before she took a deep breath and jumped, and after a gasp her wings emerged causing Linda to cheer

St. Mark's Church

Vandal, coughed up blood, as he was without his trench coat, Naruto having taken it off of him and using all the blades he found on him charged with lightning or aflame with fire "So your immortal but you don't heal, all that good. That has to suck."

'What are you?" Vandal asked causing Naruto to look at him as he felt Chay-Ara emerge "You eyes, I've never seen them before, and I've met, mentored some of histories greatest monsters."

"I'm just a man willing to do anything to protect his loved ones, a feat I've failed at as of late with my dad dying. Answer this for me Vandal you've killed thousands of people, families without remorse. Do you you think this is justified?"

"I was chosen by God, I'm immortal, they all live, and die as I see fit. as you will!" Vandal said grabbing the staff, ad a massive discharge of energy caused Naruto to sped off, as the church exploded

"Nate, we need you back here now!" Caitlin said over the coms

"What's going on?" Naruto asked

"Harry has been shot." Caitlin said causing Naruto to sped off

Uzumaki Industries

Naruto arrived in the cortex to see Harrison on a gurney, hooked up medical machines while Cisco, and Patty stood beside Caitlin "Flash." Patty said causing Naruto to raise an eyebrow as he looked to Cisco

"Later." Cisco said

"How is he?" Naruto asked vibrating his voice

"He's losing oxygen. There's a bullet in a branch of his pulmonary artery that's blocking off most of the blood flow from the left lung." Caitlin said getting a nod, before Naruto walked over to Harry and vibrated his hand before he fazed his hand through Harry's chest and extracted the bullet "BP and oxygenation is rising. Blood flow's returning to his lungs." Caitlin reported smiling "He's going to be okay."

Later

Cortex

Kendra, Carter, and Linda joined Cisco, Caitlin, and Naruto in the cortex where Naruto just got finished telling them of his bout with Savage "First piece of business is getting the Staff of Hours from Savage."

"What if we made some sort of insulated gauntlets the magnetic shielding could disrupt the the staff's magnetic polarity." Cisco said

"Next we need to find out what we can on Savage, a 4000 year old nut job is bound to leave a trail, I'll call Lyla. Kendra, your our ace, so were going to need you to be able to call upon your wings, and some combat training as well.'

'Do you have enough space for that."

"Sure." Naruto said leading everyone down to a spherical room, with a circular viewing deck attached to the ceiling, ""You guys ever watch, or read X-Men?" Naruto asked before he saw Cisco give him a look "Scratch that, well, during my dimension hopping, I found a world were they achieved artificial assimilation tech. I call it the Danger Room, it could produce holographic images that fell, smell, and sound real, also it can control gravity."

Everyone looked around in awe, before Cisco punched Naruto's arm "I can't believe you've been keeping this from me." Cisco said causing Naruto to smile

"Right, the controls are up in the viewing deck, it's easy to work, it's been keyed into the DNA of the team, so Linda could set up some courses for you to run through Kendra while Cisco, and Caitlin create the gloves." Naruto said before he sped off

"Come on Cisco." Caitlin said turning to leave

"But I want to," Cisco began to whine

"Later." Caitlin said causing Cisco to groan and follow her

Kendra and Carter stood in the room, as Linda sped up to the viewing deck and began to fiddle before their surroundings blurred and they found themselves in an open field with the sun shining down on them, feeling the breeze on their skin and seeing forest critters running around with birds chirped

"Incredible." Kendra gasped in awe, before she turned to Carter who put down the drunk he had been carrying around

"Open it." Carter said stepping back

"Why? What's inside?" Kendra asked walking up to the box

"Something we have to track down in each of our incarnations." Carter said as Kendra opened the trunk to see a female version of Carter's suit and helmet "Sometimes I find it; Sometimes you find me and we go look for it together. We've seen about every combination there is."

"I don't think I'm really-"

"Ready for this." Carter, and Kendra said at the same time

"You say that in every lifetime." Carter said as he sighed "Look, as you emerge, as your memories come back to you, so will other things. Skills, languages, pieces of your private life. Understand?" he said in Egyptian

"I do." Kendra instinctively replied back in the same language

"There you go." Carter nodded as Kendra shook her head

"This is nuts." Kendra scoffed

"It's ok. I'll help you through it." Carter said

"Yeah, well, the last time you helped me, I got pushed off a building." Kendra glared

"Yes, and after that, you, uh, you soared, if I remember correctly. And that is because anger, fear, adrenaline-those are the things that bring out the warrior within." Carter shrugged

"Well, according to Savage, I'm a priestess." Kendra said

"The clergy were warriors. Warrior priests, and that is the side that you need to remember." Carter said picking up her helmet

"And if I can't?" Kendra asked

"Well, then, we'll both probably die. Again." Carter said

Later

Cortex

Naruto arrived back in the cortex to see Cisco, and Caitlin watching as Kendra fought Carter walking up he pressed a button "Guys, I have something." they watched as the room returned to normal before Linda joined the two and the three came up to the cortex "Lyla hooked us up." Naruto said handing Cisco a vhs tape

"Yeah, well, it's going to take a while to play since we live in a digital world now." Cisco said getting to work

"The tape came from a conspiracy theory group that's interested in Savage. Pentagon had a file on Savage back in '86, but it's all been heavily redacted." Naruto said

"Got it." Cisco said as a video played on the screens where an old African American man appeared

"Is this on? I hope so. My name is Dr. Aldus Boardman. I'm a professor at St. Roch University. The date is April 8th, 1975. I don't think anyone else knows this, and those that do, don't believe. He's a myth. An urban legend. He has been compared to Machiavelli and Nostradamus. He's gone by many names, but I know him as Vandal Savage, and he will be the death of the world. But I believe there is a way to stop him. Savage is an immortal, Egyptian priest. His long life is a result of an unearthly calamity. I believe that any object associated with this calamity should be able to undo its effects and kill him. And I suspect that our precious, fragile world may one day depend upon us doing so.

"Well, that's the understatement of the year." Cisco said

"Or, you know, the last 4,000 years." Caitlin replied

"Do you have any idea what he meant by these objects? This calamity?" Naruto asked

"No, I-I don't recall a calamity." Carter said before Naruto looked to Kendra who looked off in thought

"Kendra." Naruto said

"The staff. I think the staff belonged to Savage back in ancient Egypt."

"You remember?" Carter asked hopefully

"It's a hunch." Kendra said

"And if Professor Boardman's guess is right, that staff is how we kill Savage." Linda said,

"Can you guys give Kendra, and I a moment." Naruto said getting nods from everyone before they left

"Your still resisting." Naruto said after they were alone

"He keeps telling me that Rage I'd the key to discovering myself."

'Cause that's how it worked for him, but instead of rage, instead of focusing on the warrior, focus on the priestess, and the nurturer, the good-hearted person inside of you."

"How do you know I was so good-hearted 4,000 years ago?" Kendra asked with a raised eyebrow

"Because some things don't change. You're resisting what Carter's trying to teach you because it means remembering who you were, and that is somebody else. Particularly, somebody who loves him."

"Ever since I emerged, I've been remembering our first life, in Egypt. But I've been telling Carter I can't remember anything, because- because I don't want to accept that I'm some reincarnated Egyptian warrior priestess."

"Ok. Yeah, that's pretty heavy. But it's also pretty amazing, what you're going through right now, this is a gift. It's a miracle that most people don't even get to experience."

"Yeah, well, it feels like a nightmare." Kendra said sitting down before Naruto smiled and knelt down before her grasping her hands

"Yeah, but that is a choice. You can choose the other thing to remember who you are, or who you were. Close your eyes." Naruto said causing Kendra to sigh, and do as she was told "Let yourself remember."

Naruto watched as Kendra's face relaxed before after a moment she gasped "I think I know how to beat Vandal Savage." she said

Moments Later

Everyone had filed in as Naruto looked thoughtful after hearing Kendra's story "I remembered. I remember how Savage killed us the first time, back in Egypt." Kendra said to Carter

"I've never been able to remember our first death." Carter gasped

"Well, these sky rocks-meteors, I mean they fell and they completely destroyed the royal palace."

"During the Middle Kingdom, Egypt experienced a high level of meteorite activity." Linda said causing everyone to look at her "I know stuff."

"Which is one of the many reasons we love you so much, but also doesn't seem to help us stop Savage." Caitlin said

"It's the calamity Professor Boardman was referencing. The meteors, they had a glow about them. And Savage's staff had two gemstones with the exact same glow." Kendra said

"Yeah, the gemstones might be made up of the same element as the meteorite. The Egyptians would use meteorite in their craftsmanship. And the minerals glow in proximity to each other." Naruto said

"Like Sankara Stones. Two pieces of the same meteorite, like an nth metal that is the key to counter-acting the staff." Cisco said on the computer "There's a sample of the meteorite from the Middle Kingdom at the Keystone City Museum of Natural History."

Naruto quickly sped off and returned with a small meteor fragment "We could synthesize the compatible isotope out of this and coat the gauntlets with it." Cisco said taking the rock

"Now all we need to do is find Savage." Carter said

"I dropped a tracker in his jacket," Naruto said before Caitlin typed on the computer

"Got it he's at Jurgens Industrial." Caitlin said

"Alright." Naruto said nodding before he got into his suit, and waited for Cisco to come back with the gauntlets

"We are going with you." Carter said getting a nod from Kendra, as well as Caitlin who stood up

"Are you sure?" Naruto asked getting determined nods from everyone

Later

Jurgen's Industrial

Naruto, Linda, Kendra, Carter, and Caitlin who was wearing a dark blue leather jacket and pants, a light blue leather animal print top with a dark leather belt around her waist and high heels walked into the industrial to see Savage with an eyepatch, and bandages wrapped around his body waiting for them with the staff gripped tightly

"I knew you'd come." Savage smirked "It's been a lifetime. Still wearing those ridiculous outfits, I see."

"You're going to die today Savage." Carter said

"You'll be the one dying today, Prince Khufu." Vandal smirked "Your friends won't protect you from me."

Vandal gasped when Caitlin blasted him back with a gust of wind to his gut, as Naruto and Linda sped in Naruto with a superman punch, sent him tumbling away, while Linda snuck in with a shot to Vandal's gut causing his eyes to widen as blood shot from his mouth before Caitlin appeared reforming from mist, and the three kicked him in the chin sending him flying up, when Kendra and Carter punched him to the ground, before Naruto snatched the staff with the gauntlets and used it to fire a beam of energy at Savage who somehow was holding it off, before Caitlin shot forth a stream of ice at Savage's back, and Linda from the side shot a beam of light causing the man to scream as Naruto forced the staff forward and the man became a pile of ash and the staff vanished in a flash of light

"Well, that was easier than I expected it to be." Naruto said

"It was kinda fun." Caitlin said seeing as this was her first time actually fighting a bad guy "Got the adrenaline pumping."

Next Day

Naruto, Linda, Caitlin, Carter, and Kendra walked through downtown "So how does this work, are you guys immortal now, and Savage reincarnates?" Linda asked

"This is the first time we've actually beaten him, so this is new territory." Carter said

"You finally have the rest of your lives in front of you. Have you thought about what you're going to do?" Caitlin asked

"Carter says in our past lives, we used to help people. And after everything you guys have done for me, I think I should give that a try." Kendra said

"You make it sound like this try is happening somewhere else?" Naruto asked

"In our prior incarnation, we used to live in St. Roch, and we really liked it there." Carter said getting a nod from Naruto who looked to Kendra with a smile

"Could Nate and I have a moment?" Kendra asked

"Of course." Carter nodded before he walked off, while Linda and Kendra hugged followed by Caitlin, and the girls walked off

"Nate, I'm really sorry." Kendra apologized

"You have nothing to be sorry for, you deserve to find out more about who you are, and what you wish to do with your life." Naruto said causing Kendra to nod with a small smile before Naruto handed her a necklace "I made you something. To remember me by, I guess. I made it out of the nth medal we got from the meteorite. It's got a micro GPS chip embedded in it. So if you're ever in trouble, I'll be by your side in a heartbeat you."

Kendra smiled and pulled Naruto forward and kissed him passionately which he returned before they pulled away nose to nose "What was that for?" he asked

"For being you." Kendra smiled taking the necklace, "I see you later."

Naruto nodded before he watched her walked away, as Linda, and Caitlin walked up and stood by him "There she goes." Naruto said

"Yep, want to go out tonight?" Linda asked

"We can do Karaoke again." Caitlin smiled

"If you can handle your liquor better." Naruto smiled as he wrapped an arm around the girls and they walked away

Weeks Later

Joe's House

It's been a quiet few weeks after Kendra, left currently everyone was at Joe's house for his Christmas party, Harry opted not to come seeing that his daughter was still missing, everyone was having a good time when there was a knock at the door, and Joe walked to answer and opened it to see a girl in her early 20's wearing a leather jacket, over her black blouse, dark blue jeans, and black/white Jordan's

"Hi, I'm Whitney. I'm Francine's daughter." Whitney introduced causing everyone to stop as Iris, walked over and looked at the beautiful girl, along with Joe who looked at her in awe

"I'm.. I'm... I'm Joe. This is Iris." Joe said in shock looking at his younger daughter the one he just found out about

"Hi." Whitney said

"Hi." Iris returned in shock as well

"Uh, I just wanted to I don't know." Whitney said before she looked and saw Naruto who was watching along with Linda, and Caitlin "I guess now's a bad time. You've got company, so..."

"No. No, no, no. Come in." Joe said causing Whitney to nod as she walked in and Joe closed the door behind her.
