honestly I think the flash museum might be my favorite thing in the comics. like if it were real? I’d go there. that’s not the point of this post. so like little wally west probably begged his aunt and uncle to get him a membership pass there like you can get at museums sometimes so that he can get in free whenever he wants and you know they renew that shit every year, because barry’s literally the reason the place exists so they’re gonna support it, goddammit, but anyway. you’ve got this red-haired dork exploring every inch of the museum every weekend for years straight and he memorizes the layout of the museum, every plaque, everything they have on display, this kid has like infinite knowledge of. the receptionists, tour guides, janitors, everyone on the staff at the flash museum knows wally west by name. time goes on and kid flash starts appearing and well, he’s also got red hair but it’s impossible to say, and wally still shows up every Saturday morning and keeps pushing to the front of the groups and pestering the tour guides until they let him supplement facts into their speeches. It’s adorable, because this kid doesn’t just know flash facts (he insists that the flash loves that term), he’s practically a walking superhero encyclopedia. He knows almost everything about everyone, from Aquaman to Zatanna, from the JSA to the Teen Titans, he knows his stuff. Wally’s ten or eleven or something like that and the guy working the gift shop notices the flash ring on his finger, one that he’s sure isn’t one of the many plastic ones he’s sold to the kid over the years. he says nothing. One day after Wally turns sixteen, they know his birthday by then, so they offer him a job as a tour guide. No interview required, everyone there knows he’s the best for the job, and he just… does not take it. Says he’s busy. The museum staff laugh it off, and Wally just smiles and goes on with his day. One day after kid flash starts being seen in not just central and keystone but in all different corners of the world, Wally comes walking in the door laughing with some friends who look oddly familiar, and he shows off the little teen titans corner of the kid flash wing, and isn’t that neat? and then another few years go by and kid flash kind of disappears, and then there’s a new flash, and Wally stops showing up as often but he’s still got that membership pass going strong and there are talks at the museum about putting up a statue for the new flash and if someone suggests that maybe they make the flash look a little bit like wally west, no one bats an eyelash because there’s no proof, but they all just know
