Wally awoke early morning and his heart was racing faster than it ever had before. His hand seemed to be quivering as he had seen Barry's do multiple times before. "What the hell?" he wondered.
He got out of his bed quickly, he managed to speed to the mirror, knocking into his book shelf which caused things to fall on to the floor.
Before his glass photo frame of he, Joe, Iris and Barry could fall to the floor and smash, he managed to pick it up, amazed at his own speed.
"Whoa!" he gasped. He pulled up his shirt and looked into the mirror. "Man, I have a six-pack!" he said, astonished with himself.
He sped to shower, get dressed and raced out of his house and over to STAR Labs, where the team, all but Barry were currently frozen in the cortex. He stood beside Caitlin, he needed her help.
"What the hell?" Wally exclaimed, as time sped up again.
His sudden appearance scared the hell out of her, making her scream out loud in fear and accidently drop and smash the beaker that she had been holding, on to the floor.
"Sorry, Caitlin! Let me clean it up!" Wally said excited. He got to work instantly, as Caitlin looked over at Cisco and Astrid who joined them immediately, in the medical bay.
"What's going on?" Astrid asked. "...Wally?"
"Hi guys!" Wally said excitedly, already having cleaned up the mess.
"Oh… this is soo cool! We have a new Flash!" Cisco said excitedly.
"No, not cool!" Caitlin demanded. "Does Barry know? What about Joe and Iris?"
"How the hell did this happen? Joe's going to kill us!" Astrid groaned.
"I'm not sure, you guys!" Wally said excitedly, "I just woke up this way. This is really cool!" he grinned back at Cisco.
"Man, we have to give you a nickname! and costume!" Cisco said smiling.
"Damn right, we do!" Wally replied.
"Let me think of something... it can't clash with the Barry's but it has to fit..."
"Sit down, Wally. Let me run some tests." Caitlin interrupted. Before she had finished his sentence he had already brought Cisco's comfortable computer chair over to them and was sitting spinning circles on it in Caitlin's medical bay.
"Wally stop!" Astrid demanded. "You'll smash something."
"Sorry! I'm just so excited! I have powers, like you guys!"
"Who has powers?" Barry asked as he walked in to the cortex with Joe.
The group went silent, as Joe and Barry both realized just who had spoken.
"No! No! No!" Joe demanded. "What did you guys do to him!" Joe demanded of the group.
"Hey, we did nothing!" Cisco said, "he came to us like this!"
"Wally? What did you do?" Joe demanded of his son.
"I woke up this morning with speed powers! Hey Barry, let's race!" Wally said getting to his feet.
"No! not in my office!" Astrid demanded as Wally ran past them and began circling the cortex.
Cisco grinned excitedly. "I know, he can be Kid Flash!"
"No nicknames, Cisco!" Barry demanded, "Caitlin, do you think we can reverse this somehow?"
"I don't know." She replied, shaking her head. "We will need to determine what caused this."
"Kid Flash? I love it!" Wally said appearing in front of them. "Put me to training guys!"
"Yeah, we're doing this!" Cisco said excitedly.
"No, we're not." Astrid told him. "Joe… I promise that we'll find a way to reverse this."
"Can we just see how fast he runs first? He can go for a run on Barry's treadmill." Cisco pleaded with her. As he said the words, Wally had run to the treadmill and had begun running as fast as he could. Cisco and Caitlin went over to the treadmill to monitor him.
Astrid looked over at Barry and Joe. "I don't know how the hell we're going to fix this. Or how the hell it happened."
Joe thought for a moment. "I'm trying to figure out if he has done anything out of the ordinary…" Suddenly, all three of them realized that there had been one out of the ordinary event that had happened to them recently. Harry had cooked them a delicious meal the night before.
Just as they thought of him, Harry entered the cortex silently and made his way to his office.
"Er… Harry…" Astrid stammered, "Can you come here for a moment?"
