Guest - Everything will be going back to the beginning of the Flash in 2014, Peter is 15 years old. If you recall, he was only a few days old when he was separated from the Allen's meaning Barry is currently 25-27. If you have any more questions don't be afraid to ask.


After school, Peter walked his way home, unaware The Watcher is currently following him from above.

"At the age of five, Peter Allen was dropped off to live with his aunt and uncle before his parents went back to New York to deal with unfinished business. They however never made it back due to their plane crashing." The Watcher explained as he saw Peter trip on his own laces. Sighing, the Watcher continued to observe. "Ben Parker was now a retired cop, right before Peter came to live with them. So as far as Captain Singh and Joe West knew, Peter Parker had gone to New York, meaning Barry could never see his brother again. But the young man never gave up hope to find his only other relative."

Peter opened the door and immediately heard someone talking and saw it was his Aunt May talking to their neighbor, Anna Watson.

"I'm so sorry to hear that." May apologized and Peter wonders what happened. "Is there anything we can do?"

"No, I'll be fine. I just...just needed someone to talk to." Anna said as he also heard some tears as he came into the living room and saw them. "Hi, Peter."

"Ms. Watson." Peter greeted her.

"How was the trip, honey?" May asked as Peter put his bag down near the doorway, out of the way for everyone.

"It was good. Cool. Excited to watch the countdown." Peter admitted as he came into the light for them to see the bruises left by Thompson.

"Oh, my goodness," May said in shock at the sight of his bruises.

"What?" Peter asked, not even noticing the bruise.

"What happened to your face?" May asked.

Peter then put two-and-two together and understood. "I'm fine, nothing happened. I just fell on my way up the hill."

May sighed in relief that he at least didn't get into a fight. "I wish you'd be more careful."

"Yeah, me too," Peter admitted. "So, what's going on?"

"Anna's niece is going to be coming to live with her." May brought the news out, leaving the bad news that happened ahead of it and Peter was smart enough to put two-and-two together again on why. Or at least make a few plausible accusations on why.

"Oh, that sounds great," Peter said with a smile.

"You know, Peter, I believe she's around your age," Anna informed Peter, getting him to freeze midway to the kitchen.

"You know, I believe you're right." May started to get in on the fun, seeing Peter's scared look on his face. "Maybe when she gets settled, we can introduce you two."

"No." Peter pleaded with his Aunt. "Please don't start making a big deal out of it."

"What are we making a big deal out of?" Ben asked as he came out of the basement with a box filled with bowling trophies.

"We were talking that Anna's niece could use a friend, and Peter volunteered to do it," May said, selling Peter our even further.

"Oh, that's nice," Ben said as he placed the box down next to a small mountain of them.

"Except I think we skipped over the part where I volunteer," Peter informed them all, feeling this conversation is a bit one-sided.

"Ouch," Ben said when he saw Peter's fade. "What happened to you?"

"He fell," May informed her husband.

Peter then looked and noticed the water coming off from the box's and Ben's feet. "Where's the flood?"

"Follow me, I'll show you. If you dare." Ben dared jokingly as he went down into the basement.

"Gladly." Peter declared as he followed him down, wanting to deal with a flood rather than his Aunt and neighbor trying to set him up with her niece.

Making his way down, he saw there was an entire layer of water on the floor.

"Must've happened shortly after you left for school," Ben explained to Peter. "Didn't discover it until a few hours later. I think it's the condenser tray."

"Nah, there's too much water for the condenser," Peter replied. "Or the heat exchange tubing. I have to guess it's the fill line."

"That's the only thing I get," Ben said as he picked up a piece of frozen broccoli from the fridge. "Think you can fix it?"

"Not tonight. I'd have to pick up some parts at the hardware store." Peter informed him.

"Sounds like a plan," Ben said as he handed the frozen pack to him. "Here, put this on your face. How's the other guy look?"

Peter looked confused as he didn't know Ben knew about the "fight". Ben looked back noticed the confused look on his face and scoffed.

"Come on, I was a cop for fifteen years, kid. You think I don't know a right cross when I see one?" Ben asked and kept going through anything worth rescuing from the flood. "Yes or no, do I have to call somebody's father?"

"No," Peter assured him.

"Alright." Ben supposed. "Just don't let May find out. Pity the kid who'd have to suffer her wrath." He then took the boxes and made his way up the stairs. "On your way up, see if you can find anything else worth saving?"

"Sure." Peter guessed.

Peter started to do just that as the Watcher was back and watching from the dark corner of the basement. "Peter Allen was never informed that he was adopted." The Watcher said as he watched the child struggle to lift and move a few of the heavier boxes. "His parents were planning on telling him when the time was right. But when they died, Ben didn't know how he was going to tell him. May on the other hand met Ben shortly after he was adopted and was never informed of it. Ben Parker was the only one alive who knew Peter Parker's true identity was Peter Allen."

Peter then failed to lift another box underneath the stairs, revealing to him something he hadn't seen in years. It was a small leather briefcase with the initials with R.P. on the front of it.

He remembered this as the briefcase that his father, Richard Parker, carried around with him, and had had on him the night that he dropped Peter off with his aunt and uncle.

"That." The Watcher said as he saw Peter pick up the case as if he saw a ghost. "That is the moment that set him off on the course of growing into a hero. But...he didn't know he would become a hero quite yet."


Seemed that Anna May Watson had left as when Peter made it up the stairs, he heard May and Ben arguing about calling a Plummer to solve the problem when they saw Peter coming up with the briefcase. That got them both to stop easy they were saying and look to Peter.

"Oh, wow," Ben said in shock. "I forgot all about that thing. It was your dad's. Asked us to keep it safe for him."

"What? He asked you to keep this safe?" Peter asked as he looked through it. "Have you seen what's in here? There's...there's nothing in here."

"Your father was a very secretive man, Peter," May informed him.

"Yeah, I noticed," Peter stated as he held the suitcase at his side. "I got some work I got to get done."

"Yeah, sure. Go." Ben said as Peter took the suitcase and made his way upstairs.

Ben watched Peter walk up the stairs slowly and less energetic than usual, he sighed and knew he should tell Peter before he discovers it by himself.

Peter was in his room and looked over all of the stuff that Richard kept in his suitcase: a spare pair of reading glasses, a calculator, his ID for STAR Labs, a few dozen pens and pencils, and he found a photo of him and Curtis Connors.

Peter then opened a zip and saw a part of it was tearing away from use and saw there was a secret compartment inside. Finding the invisible zip to open it, he found a file that he saw his father desperately hide once. He recognized this from years ago...only he didn't know what it was then.


TEN YEARS AGO:

A five-year-old Peter was sitting on the stairs and counting down from twenty. He and his folks were playing a game of hide and seek as the storm currently going on outside knocked out the phones, tv, but the power was at least functioning.

"Ready or not, here I come," Peter called as he looked around the stairway, almost expecting to immediately find them. Getting up, he looked around the living room and sees a pair of shoes in the curtains.

Smiling, Peter went over and ripped the curtain open, revealing it to be just a pair of shoes. Looking down the hall, he went into the closet and saw there was nobody in there either. Then he heard what sounded like rattling coming from his dad's study.

Wondering what was going on, Peter opened the door, which he was surprised to discover was unlocked. His father never left the door unlocked, unless he was inside.

When he looked inside, Peter was met with a broken window, the entire room was a mess, and it looked as if someone had stolen his father's computer.

"Hey, dad?" Peter called out. "Dad!"

Richard came running down the hall and was shocked to see the room. Racing through his desk, he called for Mary and told her to pack a bag for Peter. Richard took the file from a secret compartment in his drawer, and they booked the first plane out to Central City and left him there. Promising that they would be back in a week.

That didn't go according to plan.
