The Flash Movie part 2
The next day Barry began teaching his class as normal however he had not seen Professor Thawne that day although he wasn’t sure how he’d react if he did, and also there was no sign of Wally, which also seemed normal, but as the day went on Barry began thinking that something wasn’t right, he understood why Thawne had disappeared and he knew at one point he would have to somehow deal with him if he was a threat but Wally seemed so determined the last few days to become more responsible and yet Barry had received no phone call or anything from him, Barry’s doubt suddenly turned to fear, he thought he had heard a scream the night of the storm and the more he thought about it the more he realised Wally was there that night too.
Rushing out of the classroom leaving his lecture half way through Barry drove straight to his house only to be greeted by a confused Iris and just after telling her to ring the police the home phone rang, Barry rushed to pick it up and the voice he heard down the line was like a wave of great relief.
WW: ‘uhhhh Uncle Barry’.
BA: ‘WALLY! ‘Wally where the hell are you’
WW: laughs ‘well uncle to simply put it, I’m in Italy.
(The scene has now shifted to Wally speaking on the other side of the line and he’s indeed in Italy, this bit should be very comedic).
BA: ‘ Wha... what are you talking about Italy’
WW:’ and that’s nothing this morning I woke up in France, then as I was trying to work out what was going on and bang I wound up in Italy’.
Barry now began sussing out what had happened though his mind was trying to convince him otherwise.
BA: ‘Wally what’s the last thing you remember before today’.
WW: ‘Uhhh last night, I walked in on your little experiment thing you had going on in the classroom, then there was a flash of light and next thing I know I woke up being greeted by a French woman asking me what I assumed was did I have any soap’.
Barry covered his face with his hand.
BA: ‘Wally I’m so sorry.
WW: ‘Oh no it’s cool I didn’t have any soap but she was content just taking some of my gum’. Wally laughs.
BA: ‘Wally I’m coming to get you just don’t move.
WW: ‘No no you don’t have to come and get me, look I’ve managed to travel between three different countries in a day so I’m sure I can work out to do it again to get home.
BA: ‘ No Wally don’t try doing anything what’s happened to you can be dangerous, let me come and get you, take you home and I promise I’ll explain everything.
WW: ‘And what am I supposed to do till you get here’
(Just at that moment a beautiful Italian girl walks past Wally)
WW: ‘ ok never mind’ replies Wally sharply hangs up the phone and chases after the girl.
(We then go to a scene with Eobard Thawne, now up until now we’ve only seen him as a shady character that seems to hold a resent for Barry Allen but in this scene it becomes clear he is much more than what he had at first seemed.
He is in what looks like an old, rundown building but much like Barry’s set up lab in his classroom the room is full of cliff notes, wires covering the floor and all across the walls, computer monitors everywhere flashing constantly, this should give an indication that Eobard was attempting to accomplish the same as what Barry was doing, to gain the powers of the speed force)
ET: ‘I was so close, so close to gaining the power that is by right mine to wield’.
Eobard smashes some of his monitors in rage.
EB: ‘And now is WASTED, all I needed was the final formula how was I too know it was the storm itself being the catalyst.
(We now get a flashback sequence of a young Eobard in a gang of armed bank robbers with a retro looking Flash zooming on the scene and taking them all down, including Thawne).
EB: ‘That day I witnessed that power and I knew then that one day it would belong to me, after I served my sentence I devoted myself to learn all there was to know about quantum physics, advanced geometrics, everything that I could, and of course a devotion to discover the secret identity of the man I resented’.
(Eobard then uncovers his project, pulling of a dustsheet of a humanoid figure and it is revealed to the audience, a slim armoured yellow and red suit very similar to Barry’s Flash costume except from the colour change and more robotic looking ‘think a cross between Reverse Flash costume and Ironman’.
ET: ‘I knew that my body would never be able to withstand the raw energy of the speed force but within this suit I know its power would match exactly what Barry had, but without the catalyst source its all for nothing’.
The next scene is the interior or an airplane With Barry and Wally sitting next to one another, clearly Barry had went to Italy grabbed Wally and both were returning home.
WW: ‘You’re quiet’.
BA: ‘I’m sorry Wally im just trying to think the best way to explain this to you’.
WW: ‘Well feel free to start anywhere you want like what were you doing last night and what was that little set up you had going on, or how about the fact that that I teleported’.
Barry quickly interrupted ‘You didn’t teleport’.
WW: ‘ Really then how did I go from Central City to Paris in a matter of seconds, and then once again to Italy, I mean I would love to hear your explanation uncle I really would’.
Barry looked straight at Wally preparing himself for what he was about to say.
BA: ‘You ran Wally’…. (There’s a little pause), ‘You ran’.
And with that Wally’s face remained still and was silent for the rest of the journey home.
The next scene sees Barry rushing through his own front door with Wally in hot pursuit demanding more answers, as Barry hurries to his basement Wally stops to give his worried aunt Iris a brief hug but as their eyes met he could tell that whatever was going on she knew too.
Wally rushes down to the basement and he’s met there by his uncle standing by all his work whose eyes met Wally’s.
BA: ‘Its time Wally, time you knew the truth about me, who I was and more importantly who you are now to become’.
Never before had Wally listened so carefully to his uncle, he wanted answers and he knew he was about to be given them.
BA: ‘Where do you want me to start’?
WW: ‘Right first off what was going on last night at the university, why did your classroom look like something out of star trek’.
Barry smiled
BA: ‘I was attempting to recreate an event that happened to me many years ago, an event that changed my life forever’
Wally continued to listen as Barry began handing him his workings of his research.
BA: ‘I was working alone in my lab one night in the middle of a storm, at least I thought it was a storm, it all happened so quick but somehow the storm began tearing through my lab, flashes of lightning raced around the room, chemicals from all my workings began exploding soaking me with whatever was contained within them, and then from out of nowhere a lightning bolt struck me exactly where I stood, from that moment I thought I was going to die, but the truth was Wally I was about to be reborn’.
Wally continued to listen but could feel himself getting more frustrated as he didn’t see how this had anything to do with him.
BA: ‘I discovered that with the quantity of the chemicals I was covered in combined with the countless shocks I was receiving from this abnormal storm that it had given me powers, powers beyond my understanding back then…. and even now’.
WW: ‘What powers’ now Wally was getting intrigued.
BA: ‘I discovered that my body could generate energy much similar to the storm, with that energy, that I named the speed force I discovered that I could move my body to speeds unimaginable, I could run fast, faster than anything, I could absorb any kind of kinetic energy and then unleash it at any given time, I could charge my body into a state which would give me heightened reflexes and greater strength, and I realised that I had been given these powers, I also had been given a reasonability, and with that I became something where I could put what I had been given to its greatest use, I became something that the criminal underworld soon came to cower in fear’….
Barry then hands Wally the old newspaper article he had found earlier in his study and at that moment Wally realised the truth and looked into his uncles eyes.
BA: ‘I became the Flash’.
(During Barry’s revelation scene there’s a great music theme playing in the background called spectres induction taken from the first Mass Effect game soundtrack).
Wally unsure how to respond to this and completely shocked only managed to mutter the word ‘cool’.
BA: ‘For years I wore the costume of the Speedster, I made many enemies, forged incredible allies and can proudly say made the world a better place, but after a time my powers left me, ever since I had been planning to recreate the accident in hopes to regain the speed force but there came a complication’.
WW: ‘What complication, you mean me’.
BA: ‘No Wally, Professor Eobard Thawne’.
Wally laughed ‘what does Professor Zoom have anything to do with this’.
BA: ‘Wally he’s not a Professor, at least not in the academic way, he’s a genius who ever since I stopped back in the days when I was the Flash has wanted nothing but to claim the speed force for himself and take his revenge on me’.
WW: ‘So my being there was a mistake’.
BA: ‘Wally what happened to you was no more of a mistake then what happened to me, last night there were three people who could have been given the storms power, but it was always going to be you’.
WW: ‘ Right then, I guess your looking at the new and obviously improved Flash’.
The two exchange a smile and the screen darkens.
The next scene shows an old abandoned racetrack with Barry Allen and Iris Allen seen standing in the stands and Barry holding a microphone, then standing on a racetrack can be seen Wally wearing the retro looking Flash costume not looking very happy.
‘Why do I have to wear this’ he shouts
Barry laughs ‘You wanted to be the Flash, that’s the costume’.
‘Uhhh no this is your costume back in a time where in fashion it was ok to look stupid’.
Barry talked through the microphone ‘ok forget that your wearing it for a second, you know what were doing here right’.
Wally jokingly calls out ‘remind me’
Barry sighs ‘Were here to test out how much of the storms geometric energy you absorbed and therefore how much of the speed force your body can generate whilst your running’.
Wally looks blankly up at his uncle as if to say what the hell does that mean.
Barry chuckles ‘just run around the racetrack as fast as you can, my set up here will scan how fast your going and how much power your generating’.
Then Iris calls out ‘Go on Wally’.
And with that Wally prepares to take off and jokes to himself ‘The force is with me’.
(What happens now there is again another soundtrack being played this time is the MAIN theme from the Mass effect game, its very bold and very epic and I think would go perfectly with this bit).
Suddenly Wally shoots of running around the race track and visually is running impressively about 40 miles per hour, Barry clocks this and calls out ‘Faster Wally Faster’, Wally’s speed picks up and is now improving reaching around 80 miles per hour and his body especially around his feet begins generating energy, Iris looks at Barry as he shouts ‘Come on Wally you can go faster’ this time Wally gave it everything he could, as Barry looked at his speed monitor the clocked his speed at around 400 miles per hour and as the pair looked on Wally was getting more blurred through his speed.
Iris turns to Barry ‘how fast does he need to go’.
Barry comments ‘the fastest I could ever reach was around Mach 3, Wally needs to hit somewhere close to that and he’ll be ready’.
‘What’s Mach 3’ reply’s a blanked Iris.
‘It’s about 3 times the speed of sound around 1000m/ph if he can reach that speed he’ll be strong enough to go public.
Iris just gives a look of being impressed.
Wally continues to run around the long racetrack lap after lap going faster and faster, Barry looks again at the speed monitor and see’s that Wally is now running well over 800 miles per hour.
‘Come on Wally you can do this’ mutters Barry.
Wally could barely think clearly now he had no idea how he was running this fast everything he could see was blurred but somehow he could still sense where everything was, everything was happening all at once and yet he had never found anything more easier, suddenly he felt a surge run through his body, he could feel the power he had been generating charging him up and he felt a new energy that he was ready to unleash.
Barry looked once again at his monitor and it goes completely out of control the numbers go flying through the system hitting 1000m/ph and continues rising rapidly, as Barry looked on in astonishment Wally could hardly be seen he was moving so quickly, but then as Barry looked up at the sky astonishment turned to concern, the once sunny day had suddenly darkened thunder could be heard echoing amongst the sudden newly formed clouds and strong winds began blowing in all directions. Somehow Wally was giving off so much energy that he was creating his very own storm powered by his own power of the speed force.
Barry called out to Wally but to no effect and the storm only got bigger and bigger. Another figure from the other side of the arena caught Barry’s attention and it only took him a few seconds to figure out who it was.
Eobard Thawne gave him a smile and Barry could see him carrying one of his own conducting devices, he realised if Thawne could absorb enough of the storms power once again, then whatever he was planning Thawne would succeed. He calls out again to Wally to stop but to no avail, as the storm raged on Barry began running across the stands towards Thawne, he had no idea what he’d do if he got to him but he had to be stopped.
But he was too late a huge bolt of lightning unleashed from the clouds and went straight into the area Thawne and his conductor was standing. When the mist cleared Thawne has disappeared, Barry then looked back towards Wally and could also see his wife running towards him, the storm was now out of control and had spread far into the main city, at that moment Wally finally slowed down and came to a stop and gasped at what he had caused, he then heard his uncle calling out to him, Wally shouted asking his uncle what to do with Barry calling back out ‘Wally you’re the Flash now not me, save the city’.
With that Wally super speeds to the main part of the city and with the raging winds blowing away cars and all sorts of chaos happening he starts making saves all throughout the city, with onlookers confused at the appearance of this speedy hero they start gathering around as a crowd, even braving the storm around them to get a better look at this new superhero, after a while of excitement the storm dies down and disappears and even though some damage has been done Central City has still been saved and a large crowd had now formed surrounding Wally in bewilderment, at that moment the crown suddenly lets out a huge cry of celebration and Wally extends his arms in the air welcoming the cheers, news reporters then push their way through the crowd hoping to get something from him, Wally grabs one of the reporters microphones and addresses Central City that he is The Flash and he’s here to be their hero, he then jokes that he done such a good job just now maybe he deserves one more cheer and with that the crowd roared with excitement and Wally began shaking hands and having pictures taken given off poses with as many people as he could, (It’s clear that he is loving all the attention).
At that moment Barry and Iris are watching in the distance and though Iri’s face was filled with joy, Barry’s expressed a little disappointment, although he too was proud of Wally, seeing him being cheered on as the Flash brought back the memories of his days as the hero, and he realised how much he missed it.
