Wally West

## Biography

### Early Life: 1990-2002

Wally West was born on January 11, 1990, in Blue Valley, Colorado. Ever since the reports of the Batman in Gotham City, Wally had a fascination with heroes, particularly looking up to The Flash in Central City. In 2001, Wally visited Central City to attend his aunt Iris's wedding. Wally silently hoped the Trickster or some other Rogue would crash the wedding so he could meet the Flash. When the wedding was over without such event taking place, Wally was pretty bummed out. His new uncle Barry approached him to see if he could cheer Wally up. When Wally spilled the beans and said he was hoping to see and/or meet the Flash, Barry told Wally he was a member of the CCPD, and so, knew the Flash personally and would arrange a meeting the next time Wally visited.

That summer, Wally talked his parents into letting stay with his aunt Iris and uncle Barry. During his stay in Central City, Wally met the Flash just like Barry had promised. The meeting was everything Wally had hoped for.

When Wally was twelve, his dad got a job in Keystone City, which was just a short drive from Central City, and the family moved. Naturally, Wally was over the Allen residence to help out, in hopes that Barry would arrange another meeting with the Flash. One day, while doing the laundry, he came across a note in Barry's pocket that was a reminder of a code to a secret door in Central City's STAR Labs. Wally suspected the door to be the entrance to the Flash's lair, or where Barry met with the Flash.

Wally turned out to be more of less correct, but he wasn't expecting to see his uncle dressed as the Flash (sans mask) and talking to a team of scientists about whether or not the Flash's powers could be replicated. Of course, when Wally heard Cisco Ramon mention he had equipment set up to test that theory in the particle accelerator, Wally rushed down the hall on a collision course with his destiny...

### Fastest Kid Alive: 2002-2007

If Wally hadn't been spending so much time at the Allen residence, he would've died. Wally didn't know that his aunt had the weird ability to adapt the DNA of those near her that made them primary candidates to develop a speedster meta-gene.

After discovering his speedster powers, Wally talked (read: blackmailed) his uncle into training him to be the Flash's sidekick after school. Obviously, the day Wally received his training suit, he took it for a literal test run around Central City. When Barry caught up to him, Wally had stopped a couple robberies and crashed at least two news reports to declare that he was "Kid Flash", Central City's newest hero and the Flash's sidekick.

Barry began training Wally, and even took Wally along when he teamed up with Batman, leading to Wally and Dick becoming best and lifelong friends. After the official formation of the Justice League in 2003, Wally became a founding member of the Titans, alongside Dick and Wonder Girl (aka Donna Troy).

During his time with the Titans, Wally collected souvenirs, had a brief crush on Wonder Girl, became the team's class clown, fought Deathstroke, and probably a lot of street vendors in business. All in all, Wally made quite the mark on the world as Kid Flash...but when the Titans broke up after Terra's death, Wally decided to take a break from the superhero game and focused on finishing his senior year of high school and prepare for college.

### Wally West: 2007-2012

Wally graduated high school with top marks, and began attending Midwestern University in Keystone City. It was during this time when Wally had several failed attempts at love. One day, he quite literally bumped into Linda Park, who at the time was working as an intern for his aunt Iris. Their relationship started out as antagonistic, but over time, developed into a close friendship. Eventually, Wally even told Linda about his powers and his past as Kid Flash, something she was surprisingly cool with.

After finishing college in 2012, Wally decided to get back into the hero game. Realizing he wasn't a kid anymore, Wally had a heart to heart talk with his uncle and mentor about a new moniker to use. Wally didn't want to use the name "Flash" as that was Barry's, but after Barry assured him that they were equals and that Wally was in fact, a Flash, Wally eventually decided to share the name with his uncle. He and Cisco decided a brand new suit that both paid homage to his time as Kid Flash, and showcased his progression to "Flash".

### Fastest Man Alive: 2012-Present

After returning to the life of superheroics, Wally became the protector of Keystone City, moved into his own apartment, and opened his own auto repair shop he ironically named "Quick Fix Auto Shop".

Not long after settling into Keystone City, he joined Nightwing's team and helped bust a metahuman trafficking ring in the country of Markovia. While in Markovia, Wally helped overcover evidence of an alien invasion occurring right under the superhero community's nose.

In the aftermath of the Reach Invasion, Wally realized his feelings for Linda. He got the courage to ask her out, which she gladly accepted, saying: "it's about time, West!"

Nowadays, Wally continues acting as Keystone City's protector along with serving as a member of the Outsiders. He can normally be found spending his free time with Linda (who is now his fiancee), working at Quick Fix Auto, or grabbing a bit to eat with Dick.
