re: The Flash Season One Thread

This isn't pulling exactly from any one Flash comic book story (though the basics are taken from Flashpoint). 

Wells is the enemy of Flash in our future and returns to Barry's childhood to kill Flash as a child. It appears that Flash (from some time period) went back in time to stop him, the result being that Nora Allen is killed instead of young Barry. 

Another result of the battle is Wells losing the superspeed needed to travel back to his own time. He realizes that he needs the Flash to get that speed and sets things in motion to turn Barry into the Flash. 

We know that the Flash disappears after a "Crisis" nine years from now. Since we're dealing with a time traveling character, he could've disappeared into the past or future. The headline for the next issue could be "Flash Found" for all we know. 

So the Flash that thwarts Reverse Flash in Barry's childhood could be the Flash of the current episodes or it could be a Flash from the future. It could be where/when Flash disappears to in 2024.
