Iris West (Earth-5261)

"When I think of Wally, I'm reminded of a story that John Lennon once told. When Lennon was five years old, his teacher asked him to write down what he wanted to be when he grew up; Lennon wrote "Happy". His teacher said that he didn't understand the assignment, and Lennon said that they didn't understand life. My brother understood life. He wasn't a genius, and he didn't have super speed, but when we needed him most, he was our hero. He was my hero."
