"All my life, I've wanted to do more... be more. And know I am. And the first chance I get to help someone, I screw up. What if Wells is right? What if I'm not a hero. What if I'm some guy who was struck by lightning?" -Barry Allen, The Flash.
"I don't think that bolt of lighting struck you, Barry. I think it chose you." -Oliver Queen, The Arrow.
He woke up in the morning, trying to regain consciousness after. He looked at the clock and saw that he was on time for waking up. But the clock didn't wake him up. His mom did. And most of his childhood on going to school was always like that. A childhood where his mom and dad was his whole support.
But not until his mother's murder. He became dumbstruck when he found her corpse lying on the ground in a blue body bag. He never went to her grave, nor her funeral. He never wanted to accept his mom dead.
He became awfully late of mostly energy single day, it would be for elementary, high school, college, them in his work at CCPD. It was even more embarrassing when it came to crime scenes, he would always be late for them, being the last person to arrive at the scene. Especially since he is an adult.
His mother's death made a very big impact on his life. It changed everything that he wanted to be. Before the murder, he had always wanted to become a scientist. But the murder made him become a CSI instead. To prove his father innocent.
When he owned his own lab, he start read experimenting on chemicals, different chemicals for crime scene investigating. The chemicals had particles in them that would change materials, physically and chemically. He works on it for months and months before he became a speedster. Worked on it non-stop every single night. Always getting home late. He had always think that he, had the right formula, but he never did. So he just kept the other formulas on his shelf.
He was always a gentle, kind, loving gentleman to his friends. He would always help people in need so that they wouldn't feel like what he felt when his mom wouldn't get worried.
And then his latest obsession, the particle accelerator was announced by Harrison Wells. He counted every single day until it would start to function. He was the #1 fan in Central City of the accelerator. He was a diehard about it.
But on that faithful night, the stormy and night of revolutionizing science, his expectations became an unexpected reality to him. He got struck by lightning and then smashed into the shelf full of chemicals. Making the Lighting emerge the chemicals into his system with itself. That whole night was his origin story.
But still, in any way. That night, again, changed everything in his life. It was his fixed point in his whole life. That was where he started his story that is still being written.
He was the kind of speedster that used his speed with caution. Not using his speed for anything bad. With the quote that I said, the Lightning chose him to become a speedster. Making him feeling that this was his future. He stayed loyal to the rules of the Speed Force. He was an example of a perfect creation made from the Speed Force.
"You're..." -Barry, The Flash from Earth One.
"I'm Jay Garrick, the real Jay Garrick." -Jason "Jay" Peter Garrick, The Flash from Earth Three
Have you ever heard the saying, "Old is gold"? Well, this is really good example of it.
Let's go back in time to the early 70's of Earth Three. Meet Jay Garrick, a college student from the University of Central from the city itself, Central City. He was, like every other yellow speedster, a kind and admirable person. Jay showed himself to his schoolmates that he was a good-natured and kind man. He also showed himself to be a humble man as well, respectful too.
Jay was a young man when he first owned his own lab. It was used for all of his experiments for Chemistry and Physics class. Because Professor Stein would always bring up hard equations to the board. So he had to get a lab of his own. Making it his future laboratory for scientific purposes.
He lived with a nice childhood and good education. He was an only child, meaning he is the only child in the whole family. The Garricks had a nice and good conduct of being a sweet and tender loving family. But there was one girl that he had considered "home." And that person was Christina "Tina" McGee. The smartest and cutest girl in math class. She was perfect for him in many indescribable ways.
Jay would only seldom get mad, angry, or stressed. He was always keeping his cool on point when there's a problem. Or when he's doing something really stressful, but he would contain it.
His origin was when on one day, after he watched the football game of UoC and UoS, he went back to his lab, experimenting with hard water vapors and heavy water vapors. When he stood up from his chair, the formula that he was making dropped on the ground as he accidentally knocked it off the table.
Making the vapors go airborne. Jay tried to clean up the mess, he inhaled the formula and passed out. When he woke up, he became faster than the speed of sound and had quick reflexes. He donned his suit, gloves, pants and boots. And became the hero of Central City for decades, The Flash.
He had always respected his powers. Used them for the best things. Later on, he told Tina about his powers. She was devastated. But she started rooting for him and started supporting him in every way possible.
He was the hero of Central City for 4 decades straight. Equaling to 40 years of experience of having the Speed Force in him. Sure, there would be times that it got out of hand, but he would always stay cheerful and humble with his speed.
"I graduated high school when I was 15, Dad." -Jessie Wells
"Ah, that's my Jess, always so quick." -Harrison Wells
Quick. That's what she was. Quick. She was always quick. She was the quickest in the class, quickest in brain solving, quickest in getting stuff done. That's why they called her Jesse Quick.
Jesse was young when her mother died because of illness. Then it left her and her father, Harrison Wells. Even though that she had never had a mother over the rest of her childhood and teenage years, she was always the best shape because of her father, the brilliant scientist, Harrison Wells, took care of her. What can she say? She had the best father in the world. She could also recall that time when she got lost in the planetarium, his father locked down the whole place in a snap, just to find her.
She had top marks when she was at school, always on the Top 1 place. She always gets her day done fast enough so she could rest. Her whole life, she was quick. People could even call her an illusion because of how quick she can get things done quickly.
She graduated with 5 majors in college, which is on Earth-1, not common anywhere. Not just to Central City, but everywhere. She was always supportive of her father when she watches him do press conferences, announcements, even in interviews.
But one day, she was taken by the terrorist of Central City, Zoom. She was not very quick. Then she got rescued months later and traveled to Earth-1 and met up with The Flash. And in one of those days staying there, in order to give Barry's his speed back, she got hit by the dark matter of the particle accelerator. As of now, nobody knows if she got powers or not. But only the Speed Force would know.
