The Flash 20 Years Later

Flash forward to the future as we check in on the Scarlet Speedster...20 Years Later!

The Flash

Wally West is The Flash. Again. He lives with his wife Linda, his son Jai West, and his toddler Iris II in Keystone City. Wally works as a government agent under direct instruction from President Dick Grayson. Usually the missions given to Wally include body-guarding certain political figures or attending meetings or simply being somewhere to follow someone. Real low-key situations, which Wally kind of hates since he's much more of a people person. Luckily, if the job goes South he can use his powers to solve the problem faster than anyone can see. It's a good paying job that allows Wally to spend time with his family and fight crime. He also spends a lot of time with his cousin Wally West II (the African-American former Kid Flash) who lost his legs in a fight with Gorilla Grodd years back. Wally II still has powers, but can't risk using them with a crippled body.

Professor Barry Allen

Barry lives in Central City with his wife Iris and their daughter Dawn. Barry also has a pet dog named Jay after the Flash before him. Barry teaches forensic science at Central City College and acts as an informant for crime-fighters. He and Wally often run (at normal speeds) around the campus grounds, and Barry often builds and repairs Wally's Flash stuff. Barry quit being The Flash to start a family and because he respected Wally enough to know he'd make a great successor, though he hasn't lost his powers yet and still uses them in small doses. However, Barry theorizes if he goes too fast he may become one with The Speed Force.

The Kid Flashes

In an attempt to teach the kids how to properly use their powers, Barry and Wally created costumes and trained their children-Jai West and Dawn Allen-how to be Speedsters. Dawn is sixteen, she is a teacher's pet and a know-it-all, but has trouble in social circles. Jai is thirteen and is cocky, immature, and has a loud sense of humor. The two cousins don't exactly get along, but under Wally's tutorship learn to work together as The Kid Flashes. Specifically, Jai's callsign is "Red" and Dawn's is "Yellow". They find that when they combine their speed they can be almost as fast as Wally. 

Impulse

When Barry and Wally began settling down ands starting up families, time-traveler Bart Allen knew his future was assured. If Barry has a kid, that kid will have another kid and that kid will have Bart! But the problem is, The Reverse Flash would always jump out of The Speed Force to attack Barry and his family. So in order to assure his future, Bart Allen/Impulse must remain in The Speed Force and use his powers to stop various versions of The Reverse Flash from getting out. Doing this not only fully infuses Bart with The Speed Force's energy, but causes his endless battle with The Reverse Flash to get the attention of other time travelers like Metron of The New Gods, Time Master Rip Hunter, and time-traveling superhero Booster Gold. But Bart's mission can't be stopped by the likes of them, he must defend his lineage at all costs. Even the cost of his happiness.

The Rogues

The Rogues were a group of criminals who didn't take lives or attack families, all they did was rob banks and scare folks, but a new era demands a new band of criminals. This band is led by Private Frost AKA Frankie Snart, the daughter of Captain Cold and Louise Lincoln/Killer Frost. Frankie was born with her mother's powers and first discovered them when she absorbed her mother's ice powers and killed her by accident. Her father tried to help her, but she freaked out and ran away. Frankie returned after killing the likes of Caitlin Snow, Victor Fries, and Cameron "Icicle" Mahkent. Captain Cold-now just a civilian-frequently seeks The Flash's help in curing her. Frankie's Rogues include Reflect-daughter of Mirror Master and Golden Glider, Captain Boomerang Junior, Icy-Hot (some punk who stole the guns of Captain Cold and Heatwave), and Old Man Trickster. Weather Wizard has retired from villainy and now runs a business where he will change the weather for a large sum of cash so people don't have to cancel birthday parties and weddings, though Flash is working on taking Wizard down since he is messing the the climate. Gorilla Grodd has taken over Gorilla City, but without telepathy. Instead Grodd has become a sort of politician and has won over his people, he currently is in talks with the United Nations.
