"Barry! Time for school!" Tess Wells shouted up the stairs. Since Tess, her husband Harrison, and their son Barry had moved from Central City to Midvale, they'd kept largely to themselves. They had too, however. Nobody could discover their secret.
Tess and her husband were world renowned scientists before the accident, before they created the Particle Accelerator. They owned and operated S.T.A.R labs in Central City, and they had big plans for the future of the world. Their son, Barry, wanted to follow in their footsteps and was there on the night they launched the Accelerator, they never suspected that their greatest invention would do this to their greatest joy. At the beginning, the machine worked as intended and the two scientists could only marvel at the accolades they would receive for this work and the advancements they would bring to mankind, but before long, everything went wrong.
Barry was on the roof, admiring the stars, the Accelerator was successful and powering the labs below, but there was a storm brewing, and the Accelerator was unintentionally feeding it with the pure energy it was generating. As the storm grew worse and worse, the Accelerator went into overdrive and began to blow, before anyone could do anything, the Accelerator exploded, the pure energy it sent into the sky energised the storm, and a lightning bolt came down upon S.T.A.R labs, striking young Barry Wells. The force knocked Barry into a coma with the raw power, a coma he remained in for nine long months, his parents refusing to admit him to Central City General, as S.T.A.R had the capabilities to provide for their son. After nine long months, where S.T.A.R labs lost most of its funding, and their careers laid in tatters, Barry Wells finally awoke, to the joy of both of his parents. However, what came back with their son did not bring them any joy. Reports had sprung up of criminals in Central City with powers, unheard of beforehand, men who could control the weather, men with the ability to utilise fire and ice in guns, men who could travel into mirrors, and now Barry it seemed also had these abilities, his entire body could vibrate, he could run at great speeds over great distances in a matter of minutes and seconds. Barry thought his new powers were cool. His parents were afraid.
They taught Barry to hone his new powers, and once he could control them, they sold the fledgling remains of their scientific empire and moved shop to the sleepy seaside town of Midvale, hoping that there, where their names would be relatively unknown, the three Wells' could live a normal life. They had taught Barry that he must hide his powers at all costs, he must blend in and he must live as normal a life as he could. He was not happy with this, but knowing how much it meant to his family, Barry was willing to do his utmost to blend in.
As Tess bade Barry farewell for the day, Barry headed out, walking down the street towards the new high school was scheduled to attend. He headed to the office to get his new timetable, to find two others waiting for theirs as well. A young man with sandy blonde hair and a young woman with piercing eyes and dark hair.
"Hi, I'm Barry." Barry introduced himself to them.
"Arthur." The other boy smiled at him.
"Diana." The young woman sniffed as she took Arthur and Barry in.
As the three teens looked at one another, they were joined by two new people appearing in the doorway. One was a young woman with dark hair and brown eyes, and the other was a blonde girl with striking blue eyes.
"You get your timetable here, Kara." The brunette said to the blonde before she walked away.
"Alex…" The blonde stated sadly as the brunette left her with the other three.
"Hi, I'm Barry, this is Arthur and Diana." Barry said, gesturing to the other two. "Who are you?"
"My name is Kara, Kara Danvers." The blonde smiled at him.
