The Flash reunites with Kid Flash and Jay Garrick before confronting the Justice League and learning a secret of Barry Allen.
Young superhero Wally West assumed the mantle of
The Flash after his mentor Barry Allen to become Keystone City's greatest hero and a member of the
Justice League. Wally is keeping up with the legacy of the fastest man alive by running alongside people and being more approachable to public than
Batman,
Superman or even
Wonder Woman.
Earlier, his secret identity became public and his wife Linda Park was attacked by his former friend and the newest
Reverse-Flash Hunter Zolomon AKA Zoom. Current moniker of
The Spectre, Hal Jordan used his power to make everyone forget who he was, including himself but he figured his true calling in time and so did his wife after a while.
Running across the city, he sees a huge line of traffic and learns that they city is throwing a city to celebrate official "Flash Day" in Keystone. He goes back home to find a letter left by Linda for him saying she will be back after she clears her head. Wally calls for the
Spectre only for Hal Jordan to show up and getting berated for trying to help him.
Meanwhile,
Captain Cold,
Mirror Master and
Weather Wizard ask
Doctor Alchemy for his support.
Trickster came by to invite his peers to join him on crushing the parade with few of the fellow
Rogues. Though not interested in their petty crime spree, he agrees to lend a hand when needed because they took care of his embarrassing imposter Mr. Element.
