Thread of Wally’s relationship with Iris and why it’s so important ⚡️
Iris describes Wally’s brith as one of the most important days of her life, she has watched over him ever since he was born, even more so than his parents.
Wally had a horrible relationship with his parents, they were neglectful and abusive when he was growing up. They didn’t care about him and he knew it.
TW / child abuse

Wally’s dad even physically beat him up at times, Wally talks about it so casually like it’s normal.
When Wally was an adult, he accidentally went to the past and told his younger self how his life is gonna turn around, it was the one thing that got him going through his childhood, aside from Iris.
Here’s Wally talking about how she saved and raised him, she has been there for him since day one. He talks about how important she is to him always.
Wally cares so much about Iris and her opinion of him, he wants her to be proud of him and she was. She always has been, ever since he was Kid Flash.
Wally has held back on meeting Iris because he was terrified she won’t remember him, he couldn’t handle that. He also stayed behind battling the fear that maybe she’s better off without him, or that him coming back might put her in danger.
People often talk about how important Barry is to Wally, Iris doesn’t get enough credit. She’s the person who raised him, his first best friend, the first person to ever love him. I believe Wally looked up to her the most, she’s the person he never wants to disappoint.
