Plot
We open on a normal house. The time stamp reads "2003". There is a young boy laying in his bed. He hears loud noises coming from downstairs. The young boy is Barry Allen. He climbs out of bed. He walks out of his room and looks around the hallway, and sees nothing. Barry walks downstairs. He sees a large yellow and red lightning figure racing around his mother, named Nora, who is laying on the ground. She is crying. Barry calls out to his mother. She calls his name. Suddenly, Barry's father Henry runs up. He stares at the figure racing around Nora. He tells Barry to run. Barry says he can't leave. Henry tells him to go now. Barry nods. He runs out of the house, running away as fast as he can. As Barry runs away from the house, tears begin to run down his face. The opening credits roll.

When the credits are over, we cut to an image of Central City. The time stamp reads "2018". We see a now grown Barry running down the street, trying to make his way to the crime scene. He runs up to the crime scene. There, Director David Singh and Detective August Heart stand. Singh says it's about time Barry gets there. Barry asks what is up this time. Singh tells August to give Barry the rundown. August nods. He says that there is a team of criminals calling themselves The Rogues. Barry asks who they are. August says they are an elite group of some of the most wanted criminals in the city.

Singh says their names are Leonard Snart, known as Captain Cold, Mick Rory, known as Heat Wave, Lisa Snart, known as Golden Glider, Mark Mardon, known as Weather Wizard, and Sam Scudder, known as Mirror Master. They have robbed five banks recently. Barry asks how they can keep getting away. August says they are using special tech and metahuman powers they got from discovering alien crashed ships and being exposed to the energy to become unstoppable. Barry says they are definitely good at their job. Singh says Barry is really observant. August smiles. He apologizes to Barry for Singh's behaviors and says that he just wants to catch the Rogues. Barry says it's fine. August tells him to just look at the scene for anything out of the ordinary.

We cut to Star Labs. It is a large old laboratory that Barry's best friend Cisco inherited. Barry and Cisco sit inside, discussing the recent sightings of Batman and Superman. Barry's girlfriend Iris walks in. Barry says it's good to see her. He kisses her. Iris asks what's going on here. Cisco says they were talking about the superheroes in the world. Iris says she is sick of superheroes, due to all the articles she has had to write about them. Barry says these superhero guys are pretty cool. He says it would be awesome to be like them. He looks down at his watch. He says he has to go. He waves to Cisco, and kisses Iris before walking out. As he walks out, we see a figure staring at him.

We cut to Iron Heights Penitentiary, the largest prison in Central City. Barry sits in the visiting room. His father Henry sits down in front of him, on the other side of the glass. Barry says it's great to see him. Henry asks what is going on at the CCPD. Barry says everyone is talking about the Rogues. Henry says he saw them on TV. Barry looks at his dad. He says he has been looking at all the evidence, and hopes to soon get Henry proven innocent. Henry says that he knows Barry will do the right thing and try his best to help him. Barry smiles. He places his hand against the glass. Henry places his hand where Barry's is.

We cut to CCPD. Barry walks into his crime lab late at night. He stares at a picture of himself, his mother, and his father. Suddenly, loud lightning is heard outside. Barry looks outside the window. He sees a storm happening. Just then, a lightning bolt crashes through the window. It hits Barry and throws him into a shelf of chemicals. August runs in and sees Barry laying on the ground. He calls out for help. The scene cuts to the hospital. Barry is rushed through on a stretcher. Iris and Cisco run in. They run up to Barry. Iris, crying, takes his hand. Cisco stands in shock as tears roll down his face. Barry is rushed into a room. He is laid on a bed. As the doctors continue treating Barry, we see small sparks of lightning come from his fingers.

We cut to three weeks later. We are in the hospital, at Barry's room. Iris and Cisco sit in chairs beside Barry's bed. Suddenly, Barry shoots out of bed. Iris smiles. She hugs him. Barry asks what happened. Cisco says that Barry was struck by lightning and has been in a coma for three weeks. Iris says she knew he would wake up. Cisco asks Barry how he feels. Barry says he feels fine and full of energy. Cisco smiles. He says he is glad to have his best friend back. Barry and Cisco hug.

We cut to outside. Barry, Iris, and Cisco walk out of the hospital. Iris asks what they should do first. Barry looks at the street. Suddenly, everything slows down to an almost complete stop. It goes back to normal. Cisco asks if Barry is okay. Suddenly, Barry's hand begins to vibrate at superhuman speeds. Lightning radiates off of his body. Iris asks Barry what's happening. Suddenly, Barry disappears, seemingly running at superhuman speeds. He crashes into an alleyway. Cisco and Iris run after him. Barry slowly stands up. He almost falls over. Cisco says they can take him to Star Labs. The three walk away.

The scene cuts to Star Labs. Barry sits back in a chair as Iris stands by and Cisco is running some tests on him. Iris asks Cisco what he sees. Cisco says that Barry's body is regenerating at an unheard of rate, and his heart is beating faster than humanly possible. Barry asks what this means. Cisco says that it seems that the lightning that struck Barry has given him the ability of superhuman speed, and has always also given him a regenerating healing ability, hence why he survived the lightning strike. Iris asks what this means. Cisco smiles, and says that Barry has superpowers. Barry smiles.

We cut to a large circular section of the lab. Cisco says it was used for racing drones and anything that they needed to test speed on, so it should work fine for Barry. Barry nods. Iris tells Barry to be careful, and kisses him. Barry gets down on all fours. He begins running. His speeds are unheard of. As he runs, orange lightning trails behind him. Cisco says this is awesome. As Barry runs, his shoes and clothes catch on fire. He looks down and trips in shock. Barry asks what happened. Cisco says that the insane speeds Barry is producing caused so much friction it created a fire. Iris asks how they can fix it. Cisco says he will work on a friction-less suit. Iris asks what he means by suit. Cisco says that Barry has superpowers now. He has to use them. Barry smiles.

We cut to a few days later. Barry and Iris walk into Star Labs. Iris asks Cisco what was so urgent. Cisco says that he has been working night and day, but he now has something awesome to show them. He hands Barry a small ring. The ring has a lightning bolt on it. Cisco tells Barry to put it on. Barry does. He asks what is supposed to happen. Cisco tells Barry to press the button and run straight forward. Barry nods. He does as told. Suddenly, Barry is wearing a red suit. Barry looks down at the suit. He says this is awesome. Cisco says that all Barry has to do is press the small button on the ring and the suit will shrink back into place inside the ring again. Iris says Barry looks amazing. She asks what they should call him. Cisco smiles. He says that he was thinking... The Flash.

We cut to outside. Barry is going for a walk. Suddenly, a large blast of yellow and red lightning races past him. Barry, in shock, puts on his suit and runs after the figure. Barry continues chasing the figure through Central City. This leads them to the woods. The figure stops, causing Barry to stop as well. As Barry looks at the figure, he thinks back to his mother's death. He remembers the yellow figure running around his mother. Barry asks the figure if he's the one who killed his mom. The figure, vibrating their whole body, says they will talk about this later. Barry says they will talk about this now. The figure grabs Barry and hits him into a tree. The figure laughs, before saying he'll see Barry soon. The figure runs away. Barry sits in shock.

We cut back to Star Labs. Barry is explaining the story about the lightning figure. Iris asks what this means. Cisco says that there must be another speedster in Central City. Barry says this speedster has had their powers for a long time, as he was the one who killed Nora. Barry says they need to find this guy. Iris says they will. Cisco says they have bigger problems, and points to the TV. A newscast shows that the Rogues are attacking a bank once again. Cisco says Central City needs the Flash. Barry nods.

We cut to the biggest bank in Central City, the Central City National Bank. Inside, the Rogues are holding many people hostage. Captain Cold says they need to hurry up. Suddenly, a burst of lightning races in. Barry stands. He says, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Flash." Heat Wave says this should be fun. Weather Wizard shoots a blast of wind at Flash. However, Flash vibrates so fast that he stands still. He races around Weather Wizard, disorienting him before knocking him out. Mirror Master jumps into a glass pane, and jumps out right onto Flash. Flash throws him off. He runs around and breaks every reflective surface around. He says that wasn't too hard. He knocks Mirror Master out.

Suddenly, Golden Glider glides right under him, knocking him down. Cisco, over a communication system, tells Flash to pull lightning off himself. He can throw it at Golden Glider and incapacitate her. Flash says he understands. Flash stands up. He runs around in a circle, creating his lightning. He pulls off a piece of the lightning and concentrates it at Golden Glider, hitting her with it. She falls to the ground. Suddenly, Captain Cold and Heat Wave both begin shooting Flash with their ice and fire guns. Flash cries out. Cisco tells Flash to vibrate, because if he vibrates fast enough, he can't be hit. Flash begins to vibrate. The fire and ice goes straight through him, causing Captain Cold and Heat Wave to hit each other. Cisco and Iris cheer. Flash stands up. He says that wasn't too bad. Suddenly, the yellow and red lightning figure runs in. He says it's time for them to talk. He hits Barry directly in the face, knocking him out.

We cut to an unknown warehouse. Barry sits in a cell, his suit back in the ring. He is unconscious. He wakes up. He calls out for help. The yellow figure runs in. He says no one can hear him. Barry asks the figure who he is. The figure stops vibrating, allowing Barry to get a good look at his suit. The figure takes off his mask. He says his name is Eobard Thawne. However, his friends call him... The Reverse Flash. Barry asks why he hates him so much. Eobard laughs. He says that he is from the future, and that in the future, they are arch enemies. He says that he went back in time and killed Barry's mother to encite Barry's path, and now that Barry is the Flash, their feud can begin earlier than expected. However, before they can fight, he needs to fully break Barry. He opens a door, and pulls a tied up Henry out. Barry tells Eobard not to hurt Henry. Henry tells Barry that he loves Barry. Eobard vibrates his arm, and stabs it through Henry's chest, killing him. Barry cries out. Eobard puts his mask. He says that it's time for their first duel. He opens the cell and races away. Barry puts his suit on and chases Eobard.

Flash and Reverse Flash race through Central City. Though Flash is very fast, Reverse Flash is obviously faster and more experienced than Flash. However, Flash is catching up as much as he can. He asks if Cisco can hear him. Cisco says they lost contact an hour ago. Iris asks Flash if he is ok. Flash says he is. He asks Cisco how he can stop the Reverse Flash. Cisco, who installed a system that traces anything around Flash, says that although the Reverse Flash is faster, if Flash really pushes his limits, he can catch up. Flash says he gets it. He begins to push his limits. We see the strain on his face.

He catches up. He tackles Reverse Flash to the ground. The two speedsters stand back up. They charge at each other. They begin punching and kicking each other. They each run up a skyscraper. They jump off the skyscrapers and hit each other in mid air. They knock each other back, but both regain balance and run down the buildings. Flash grabs Reverse Flash's leg, and pulls him to the ground. Reverse Flash tries to escape, but Flash repeatedly hits him again and again. He vibrates his hand, and is about to stab Reverse Flash. However, he stops. He tells Reverse Flash that he isn't a killer. Reverse Flash frees himself and knocks Flash back. He smiles, and says that they will meet again. Reverse Flash races away. Flash stands up. Everyone around him cheers.

We cut to Star Labs. Barry sits with Iris and Cisco. Cisco says Barry was badass out there. Barry says the adrenaline in his body was insane. Iris tells Barry she's sorry about his dad. Barry nods. He says that at least now he knows the truth about what happened to Nora. Iris and Barry kiss. Suddenly, a news report plays, saying that the Rogues have escaped Iron Heights. Cisco looks at Barry. He says, "Get out there Flash." Barry smiles and runs out. Roll credits.

In the mid credits, we cut to Central City. It is nighttime. Everything is normal. We cut to an abandoned alleyway. A small blue portal opens. A figure jumps out of it as the portal disappears. The figure stands. We see that he is wearing a suit and metal hat. It's Jay Garrick. He says that he finally made it. Now, it's time to talk to this world's Flash about what's happening.

In the end credits, we cut to Star Labs. Barry and Cisco are sitting inside, talking about Barry's epic second takedown of the Rogues and how it was even better than the first one. Iris walks in. She says hello to the boys, and says she would like for them to meet her nephew. A teenager walks in. He says hello to Barry and Cisco. Barry asks what his name is. The boy responds, "I'm Wally. Wally West."
