## History

### Year 1

On the night during the unveiling of Star Labs brand new invention, that is said to revolutionize Central Cities energy usage for the future to come. **The Particle Accelerator** created by the head of this branch of Star Labs, **Harrison Wells**, with the assistance from his scientists **Caitlyn Snow,** and Cisco Ramon. Went off with a bit of a hiccup unfortunately, when looking back at the night. Many factors could've been the result of the accident that was waiting to happen, when the Particle Accelerator exploded it caused both a Weather Phenomena as well as Dark Matter Wave that blanketed across **Central City** and **Keystone City**. Resulting in many unfortunate procurements, storms throughout the region, lightning struck many places, other Weather Phenomenon for hours. The toll on lives was thankfully minimal but as a result of this unprecedented event, many lives was changed. Including but not limited to Barry Allen. Many people came out of the event within hours being rescued, in a coma, or finding themselves in a hospital with uncontrollable Metahuman powers.

Government intervention resulted in Star Labs being closed down and inoperable for months to years. As a result of the potential risks and dangers that came about this. But Harrison Wells believes there can be good that came out of this. And that started with him looking through every known case of individuals that were affected by The Particle Accelerator. And crossing out each individual until he arrives at a coma case. When visiting him, and seeing how he was being cared for by the loved ones by his side like Iris West and **Joe West**. He decided that he found the perfect person to help him with his dilemma. And when Barry woke up and discovered he had powers, Harrison reached to him to help him train his abilities with the help of Harrison's Wife **Tessa,** along with some Out of work Scientists **Cisco, and Caitlyn.** They were able to embark on feats and tools that helped Barry grow exponentially. And as a result of his training, Barry had went and donned a suit and since then became **The Flash.**

### Year 3

Barry Allen's been The Flash for a couple of years, He founded the Justice League last year with several other inspiring heroes. He's been straggling the line of keeping his dual persona in line and in secret from people close to him like Joe and Iris. At the same time more people became closer to his inner circle, such as in his employment in the CCPD a distant relative of his Nora Allen has been his forensic lab roomie. That for the most part he doesn't see much of her often due to his insistent need to leave with excuses and other reasons. Though it's a good thing she's got the knack of a forensic expert herself. Though that's not the only one, unfortunately and not to confuse him with another of Iris younger Cousins. But **Wallace "Wally" West** found himself in a situation that required him to stay at the Wests home for a couple of days. And when Barry came to visit to meet them, with a simple shake of his hand to Young man the found a connection to one another that he hasn't found before. From then on, Wally had been under Barry's wing being his **Kid Flash** and as most would say rest has been history.

### Year 5

The Flash can't exactly catch a break, while his duties with the Justice League has got him a little preoccupied with keeping track of the goings on around Central City. Especially with him helping that team out with going to some frozen tundra's and helping to complete puzzles for the Justice Leagues sake. It's around this time that Wally West gains a little more independence as a sidekick to that as a hero. Though that did garner him more attention and some spotlight into a rather quiet year for the heroes and the cities they protect.

### Year 6

And with fame comes bigger treats, though not in the way most would expect. Around this time an evil Kryptonian tyrant escaped his prison facility and Barry tried his best to help the Justice League while in the mean time. Wally gained himself a super fan by the name of Impulse a young hero in the making, though similar to how Wally was when he started his own journey. And after a team up, and Wally gaining for the first time himself an inkling of responsibility with needing to chaperone a newer Speedster into the world of crime fighting. That of which came with its own drawbacks as is the only way for Bart himself to gain said experience due to his dad, Jay Garrick stipulation from his own experience and perspective. But through meeting Kid Flash, he was able to team up with other younger heroes. That experience brought about an end of Bart’s tenure of this temporary group venture with helping civilians in Coast City with evacuations. Kid Flash on the other hand was busy at Central City since the Flash was helping with the defense of the Alien Invasion. As the trio of Speedsters went about their lives some of which some still not aware of the possible connections until the future.

### Year 8

And as Big Threats come and go nothing came as shocking as it did in the beginning of the year. Flash and Kid Flash was dealing with an emergency in Washington involving the President of United States, and admittedly Impulse chose to stay behind to work on things in his personal life. Though unfortunately their lucky streak had to come to an end. The Flash found himself entangled with a fight against another speedster, but one he never thought he would meet again since his childhood when he fought with the man in yellow. The man who murdered his Mother when he was young and sent his dad to prison for a crime he never committed. And while emotions were high, and a trap was set. The Flash entered a **Speed Force Portal** that left him stranded in a cosmic void for months. In the mean time, Kid Flash had to think of a resolution that brought about a failure on his part. The President was Kidnapped, and Kid Flash needed to return back to Central City to lick his wounds and in hopes that the Flash will return soon. For what felt like mere moments, The Flash experienced multiple probabilities of fictional realities of what he could’ve done differently in the next few months, over and over again. While doing so gaining a stronger connection to the Speed Force. In the midst's of The Flash a new and old crop of Speedsters would come in to help assist things while Flash was missing. Kid Flash was doing the best that he can in the background. But he wasn’t the only one, **XS** had made her debut with saving small businesses from thugs and the like. **Impulse** is saving animals from burning buildings. And well **Godspeed** taking matters into his own hands in the background in the middle of a Police Shootout.

But after **Six Months** it’s not long until the Flash re-emerges back to Central City, towards his home, and low behold who was waiting for him was the man in yellow again. This **Reverse Flash**, taunted him and thoroughly beat him with a final warning of a possible return and this next time with more tragedy. That was until XS was in the area, and picked up the Flash and carried him away. Luckily Caitlyn Snow was in Central City and with her help using the decommissioned Star Labs they were able to make sure that Barry was still alive. After Barry realized who XS was, who saved him, he had an epiphany with a realization of needing to prepare for the future. Before he makes the mistake, he reconnects with **Iris West** with an heartfelt moment of embrace. Later he enlisted the Help of **Caitlyn** and **Cisco,** his best friends since the start of his journey. To help him make sense of his new range of connection and power, while he found every individual that had a Speed Force connection in Central City and Keystone City and invited all of them to a newly open Star Labs for a chat. And while some didn’t show up for a reason or another, it did come down with **Crimson Comet, Kid Flash, Impulse, and XS.** Who all from one strange fate or another, had some semblance of an encounter with one another had finally came together. And established here in the now, **The Flash Family**. What happens in the future with their dynamic, can go any possible direction but it’s a journey nonetheless.
