Synopsis for "Flash: Year One – Born to Run!, Chapter 4: Live Fast… Die Young!"
Wally West thinks back about his superhero beginnings as Kid Flash which quickly seemed to come to an end. His young body could not sustain the speed powers and they threatened to kill him. Wally not only had to quit being a superhero, but he also had to leave his beloved aunt Iris to return home to his parents in Blue Valley because summer vacation was over.
But the wounds of not being able to continue as Kid Flash just did not heal. Additionally, the problems Wally usually had with his parents heated up as well. One evening during a terrible storm, Wally just ran away from home. Surprisingly, his father Rudy West came after him but got crushed under a fallen tree while trying to rescue Wally. As a tornado came closer, it was up to Kid Flash to help his father. So Wally pushed himself past his limitations and was able to cancel out the tornado. Somehow, this incident also helped Wally to be able to keep his powers without killing his body. But more importantly, he now had a better understanding of how important his family was to him ...
