Labs' Dr. Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), and Dr. Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) in attempting to learn more about his powers and how to use them to be a hero.

Martin) and his daughter Iris West (Candice Patton) to take in a young Barry.

Barry was subsequently adopted by Joe West and his daughter Iris, who Barry had loved since childhood, and spent his whole life trying to discover what really happened that night. Moments after an explosion at the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator, Barry is struck by lightning in his laboratory and doused by chemicals affected by the accident. When he recovers from a nine-month coma, he has superhuman speed.[1] He uses his new-found power to fight crimes and hunt other metahumans in Central City as the masked superhero known as the Flash, while trying to unravel the mystery of his mother's murder and the identity of her murderer. Barry has long harbored feelings for Iris but kept them to himself but eventually reveals his feelings, leading to complications regarding Iris' relationship with her boyfriend Eddie Thawne; but he also learns from a 2024 newspaper in Eobard Thawne's time vault that he may eventually marry Iris. He also shares a close father-son bond with Joe and often asks him for advice in regard to his feelings for Iris but also what course of action to take as a hero. Initially however Barry resented Joe for refusing to believe him about the circumstances of Nora's murder and as a result Barry was hesitant to accept Joe as his surrogate father, despite Joe having come to have this view towards Barry years before. Barry also becomes good friends with Cisco and Caitlin and his idol Dr. Harrison Wells who acts as his mentor while on missions, giving him advise on how to adapt and increase his range of powers. However Barry eventually becomes suspicious of Dr. Wells and eventually learns him to be his mother's murderer Eobard Thawne in disguise, leading him to develop a deep resentment towards him. Eventually Barry discovers Eobard's plot to use his speed and the particle accelerator to generate a portal for Eobard to return to his own time, while at the same time Barry can travel back to the night Eobard murdered his mother and prevent it. Barry agrees but is warned by his older counterpart not to interfere and instead chooses to fight Eobard and stop him returning to his time. He is almost killed during the fight until Eddie sacrifices himself to erase Eobard from existence which causes a wormhole to emerge that Ronnie also stops but at the cost of his own life also.

In season two, Barry becomes reclusive following the deaths of Eddie and Ronnie but after a near-death experience with Atom-Smasher Barry is convinced to work with his friends again. He also discovers a recording left by Eobard containing his confession to murdering Nora which allows Barry to set Henry free. Barry becomes the target of various metahumans working for an enigmatic speedster named "Zoom" and is confronted by Jay Garrick, a speedster from Earth-2 who also operated as "The Flash", who informs him that Zoom is an evil speedster from Earth-2 who is seeking to kill Barry in order to be the only speedster in the multiverse. Barry struggles to move on from hunting the Reverse-Flash as has been his life's driving goal since a child but eventually realizes that hating Eobard won't let him move on with his life and chooses to forgive him. Barry also sparks up romance with Joe's new partner Detective Patty Spivot, having moving on from Iris in good terms. Barry also grudgingly works with the deceased Harrison Wells' Earth-2 counterpart due to his role in creating Zoom, and eventually accepts Harry as an ally for the sake of an innocent's life after Barry learns that Zoom kidnaps Harry's daughter. Barry also encounters a younger version of Eobard, one who has yet to murder his mother, but also learns that any attempts to alter events he's caused will alter time too significantly and is forced to let him go and accepts that he will face Eobard repeatedly from this point onward.
