Wally West (Kid Flash)

Wallace 'Wally' West
Wallace West is the nephew of  Barry Allen ,the original Flash. He gained his powers while working as in intern in STAR labs with his cousin Wayde West  .Both boys were major fans of their Uncle

Barry and gotten along since child hood and were nearly inseparable.Wally though,is the older between the two and always

looked after Wayde ,so naturally when he took the internship,he

went as well.The two of them along with  Virgil Hopkins  were staying after hours to clean up the lab when

they came across one of the machines in a basement that was designed to harness and control the  Speed Force 

.It was considered a failed experiment and wouldn't even work.Wally started tampering with it and got it o work only for it to malfucntion.Fearing the safety of Wayde and Wally ,Virgil tried to use his powers to shut the machine off.It worked ,but Wayde and Wally were standing too close.Despite Virgil sheilding the two cousins,they ended up knocked unconcious.

When Wally awoke in the hospital,he was horrified at what he had done,and scared for his cousin.When confronted,he broke down and told that it was all his fault.Barry was dissapointed,but not angry; as it turns out,he had uncovered the secret of the Speed Force and now himself and his cousin now possessed super speed.The two now work as apprentices to the Flash as Kid Flash and Impulse.
