Bronagh Allen (Earth-5742)

**Bronagh Renesmee Allen-West** (née **Allen**) (born March 14, 1989) is a scientist in the Criminal and Forensic Science Division of the Central City Police Department. She is the only daughter of the late Henry and Nora Allen, the foster daughter turned daughter-in-law of Joe West, the wife of Achilles West and the sister-in-law of Wally West, the archenemy of Eobard Thawne, as well as the mother of her future children, Harmony West-Allen and Tony Allen.

Bronagh's mother was murdered when she was 11 years old on March 18, 2000, and the blame was wrongfully placed on her father. She was taken in by Joe and she dedicated her life to proving her father's innocence. After the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator exploded, causing a giant thundercloud to form, Bronagh was struck by lightning from a cloud, falling into a coma for nine months. When she woke up from her coma, Bronagh discovered that she had developed superhuman speed and various other abilities derived from it. Using these powers to protect Central City, she began acting as the meta-human superhero known as the **Flash**, initially referred to by the media as the **Red Streak**, the **Streak** and the **Blur**, stylized as the "**Scarlet Speedster**".

Bronagh spent the next several months fighting crime, taking down numerous meta-human villains and other criminal elements, assisted by Team Flash. All the while, she worked with Joe to get Henry out of prison and with Harrison Wells to get faster and develop her abilities. Bronagh later found out that the latter was the evil speedster Eobard Thawne from the future, having stolen Wells' identity, and the man who murdered her mother. In a final confrontation between the two, Eobard gave Bronagh the chance to undo what he did in exchange for assistance in returning to her time. Bronagh decided against doing this, which ultimately led to Eobard's ancestor killing himself to erase Eobard from existence.

Several months later, Bronagh finally saw her dad become a free man using a video will left by Eobard. It was also at this time Bronagh came under attack by meta-humans from Earth-2 led by Zoom, another evil speedster who needed Bronagh's speed to prevent himself from dying. Bronagh is eventually forced to comply to save Wally West, temporarily becoming a normal human again until Team Flash worked to get her her speed back. Bronagh soon after defeated Zoom, but not before her father is murdered in front of her. This sends Bronagh into a depression, and, not thinking clearly, goes back in time to save her mother, creating another timeline.

After Bronagh undid Flashpoint, a time loop was created with a possible future of Iris dying in front of Bronagh. A time remnant of Bronagh from this future was created, and after being shunned for not being the original Bronagh she became a powerful, mythical, armoured speedster, known as **Savitar**. After her transformation into Savitar, she sought to ensure her existence by murdering Iris in order to drive her younger self into the circumstances that led to her creation. When battling her younger self she referred to herself as the **Future Flash**. She was later erased from existence after she failed to recreate the circumstances of her own creation. However, this victory was short-lived; Bronagh was forced to enter and remain in the Speed Force indefinitely to save the world.

Bronagh was eventually freed thanks to the efforts of Team Flash, though in the process accidentally created more meta-humans. The self-described Fastest Woman Alive was forced to take on the Fastest Mind Alive, Clifford DeVoe, who wished to revert humanity to a time before technology. It was also during this time Achilles and Bronagh got married after fighting invaders from Earth-X and Team Flash first encountered Harmony West-Allen, not realising until much later on that she was the daughter of Bronagh and Achilles from the future who had traveled back in time to help stop Cicada. Although conflict arose when it came to light that Nora was working with Eobard Thawne in secret, the three of them grew immensely close. However, when Cicada II was defeated, a new timeline was formed, resulting in Nora being erased from the timeline, leaving Bronagh and Achilles devastated.

When Bronagh was "possessed" by Ramsey Rosso/Bloodwork after the latter infected Bronagh's blood cells while he was saving Ralph's life, Cisco nicknamed her **Dark Flash**. Bronagh was restored to normal when Allegra Garcia used her powers to cure everyone affected by Rosso's disease.

During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Bronagh was revealed to be the **Paragon of Love**. She was one of the only surviving individuals from Earth-1 after the destruction of the Multiverse in the Anti-Monitor Crisis. However, thanks to Oliver's sacrifice, she and the other Paragons were able to defeat the Anti-Monitor after Earth-Prime was created. Bronagh also founded the Crisis team and worked to honor the memory of her close friend and mentor.

Following the destruction of the Speed Force, Bronagh's powers slowly started to run out, forcing her and the team to seek out a way to create a new Speed Force. She also faced new enemies in Godspeed, Black Hole, and Eva McCulloch. While the artificial Speed Force machine succeeded in restoring her speed, it came at the price of Bronagh losing her morals and emotional attachment, forcing them to destroy the machine. After the sudden return and help of the resurrected Earth-1 Harrison Wells, Team Flash found an alternate usage for the Speed Force machine. Channeling the residual Speed Force energy Achilles from her various interactions with speedsters through his and Bronagh's love for others into the machine, they were able to restore the Speed Force and Bronagh's powers.

However, unbeknownst to Bronagh, the restoration of the Speed Force also resulted in the birth of three other forces; the Strength Force, the Sage Force and the Still Force. These forces allegedly attacked the Speed Force, forcing her to flee into a human form. Bronagh went head to head with Fuerza, Psych and Deon Owens, the hosts of the respective forces. However, it transpired that the Speed Force desired to kill all the forces, killing their hosts in the process, an act Bronagh was staunchly against. Instead, she opted to travel back in time and prevent the existence of the forces to begin with; but he ultimately changed her mind and allowed their existence; while managing to broker peace between the forces.

Soon after, Bronagh and her team are forced to contend with the brewing Godspeed War, masterminded by an artificial speedster August Heart, who seeks to become the God of Speed by stealing Bronagh's recently enhanced speed. It's only with the help of many speedster allies, including the revived Eobard Thawne, that August was defeated and incarcerated in Iron Heights.

Six months later the powerful alien Despero shows up in Central City determined to kill Bronagh for supposedly creating an event that will end the world. After proving her honourableness to the alien, Despero agrees to give Bronagh seven days to prove he will not cause Armageddon. Unfortunately, events quickly turn sour as Bronagh is suspended from her job as a CSI at the CCPD, before learning that S.T.A.R. Labs is being shut down and demolished. Bronagh is forced to destroy Gideon to protect her identity. Not long afterwards, Bronagh encounters Xotar, where she falls to prey to his abilities, causing her to temporarily lose her mind and mindlessly attack her friends, until she snaps out of it. After later defeating Xotar, Bronagh, for unknown reasons, attacks Central City, an event caught on the news, although she does not remember doing it. After mentioning celebrating with Joe and Cecile, Bronagh is stunned to learn that Joe was dead, and had been for six months. After escaping another attack from Despero, Bronagh, feeling overwhelmed by recent events, calls for Black Lightning’s help at the Hall of Justice. After discovering that Eobard Thawne was behind it all along, she was able to defeat Despero and remove Thawne's speed, finally ending Armageddon.
