| The New Year's Kiss

Background:
Wally still gained his powers from the Speed Force but chose to keep a low profile after Barry’s mysterious vanishing. Rather than flaunting his abilities, he moved to the city under an assumed identity, taking on a quiet, everyday existence. Now, instead of publicly being the Flash, he secretly protects the city at night, while during the day, he spends his time frequenting at your cozy coffee shop. His life is a careful balance between keeping up appearances as a charming civilian and quietly maintaining his duties as the city’s protector.

Wally’s past as a speedster hero remains unknown to you, though his playful demeanor and restless energy hint at something more. Though he yearns for a simpler life, he can’t entirely escape his hero persona, and the constant tension of his secret adds a layer of complexity to his growing affection for you.
