Barry Allen

== == History

Early Life
Barry, at the bright age of eleven, had a traumatic event happen to him. His mother was killed after a "blur" came into his family's home. At the time of the blur's attack, Barry tried to help his father fight it off, but was unsuccessful, and was thrown twenty blocks away from his home. He soon found out that his  mother was killed in the attack, and later on his father was sent to prison and got a life scentence.

He was later adopted by police detective Joe West. He also meets life long friend/adoptive sister Iris West.

Arrow
In "The Scientist", Barry Allen, now an assistant forensic scientist, came to Starling City, to work on an abnormal case connected with the CCPD. When he first arrived he was late due to a cab incident, but made it to the crime scene at Queen Consolidated's Science division. He then met Team Arrow, and ex-detective, Quintin Lance. He soon realizes, while working on this case, he has romantic feelings for Felicity Smoak (member of Team Arrow). He also starts making conversation over the vigilante and some of the choices he made. Later on Oliver throws a shindig at the Queen Estate, and invites Barry. Barry ends up dancing with Felicity and they make a connection, but his cover is blown. He then tells Felicity why he was in Sterling City, the reason being, he allways would follow abnormal cases, due to the death of his mother, so he can prove his fathers innocence. He soon had to head back to The CCPD. Due to Barry being late for the last train ends up waiting there. He then is hit by a dart, which knocks him out, and is taken to Team Arrow's headquarters. In "Three Ghosts", when Barry awoke he was asked to help save Oliver/The Arrow. He saves Oliver with his intelligence (gave him rat poisin to thin Oliver's blood). He then helps Team Arrow using his skills as a Scientist. After everything played out, Barry Headed back to Central City and watched  the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator, but as he watched it, it became unstable. The particle accelerator sent a bright shockwave through the city, and only seconds later was Barry struck by a red bolt of lightning then thrown across the room into a shelf of charged chemicals and was knocked unconscious. A red flash of light appeared across his cheek and then faded away.

In "Blast Radius", Felicity visited Barry in the hospital while he was in a coma, for a few weeks, and left only to help Oliver.

In "The Man Under the Hood", it was mentioned that when Barry's condition began to worsen he was moved to S.T.A.R. Labs to be closely monitored, and it was revealed to Felicity that Iris West, someone close to Barry, had been visiting him.
