The Flash: West-Allen Family Recreations: Love Struck By Lightning

New Years' Fireworks

This is a recreation of the Casino Heist from The Flash Season 8 episode 6, Impulsive Excessive Disorder.

Need I say more? An episode all about Nora and Bart, their amazing relationship together, with loads of heart and humor, combining with a few sights of familiar faces and versions of our main characters' from even before Season One? (even if Eddie's not my favoritest character, doesn't mean that there's no nostalgia to it)

This episode was an absolute out of the park for me from the moment that I saw its title, and the scenes that it gave us didn't disappoint. Not only did the two of them have amazing chemistry in everything from their sibling banter, to their arguing about their different superheroing styles, but in their heart to hearts too, of which they had two separate ones, this recreation, and then the scene where Bart breaks down about failing as a hero in the forensics lab and Nora follows him to the current time's bedridden Barry, who helps pick him up and tell him how great of a hero she knows he is, and how she'll always be there for him.

These two scenes I feel like also go hand in hand to show that, while it will always be more present that Bart needs his older sister, she needs her little brother just as much as the other way around, and really drives home not only how great of siblings they are to each other, but superhero partners as well.

I hope that maybe one day, they can both be the new Flash together, a team of them if you will.

A line like maybe... We are The Flash? :)

Anyway this was a lonngggggg intro, so I'll let you get into it (and don't be surprised if other scenes from this episode make their way into here at some point).

Now, Run Reader, Run!

The lavishly decorated scene of the Utopia Casino was even further decked out then its normal five star casino self in favor of the New Years celebrations that night.

Fancy sleek black tables that wore the business' logo filled the middle of the room, well dressed people sitting at it as they chatted and shuffled cards with one another. Slot machines and other various gambling and gaming devices and the like spread out along the rest of the space, humming and clicking as people did their best to win.

Waiters and employees milled about as they offered people refreshments and set up rounds of games for their guests, small tips (or bribes) being slid to them inconspicuously as they did so.

Numerous tinsel silver "Happy New Year '' balloons floated gently in the designated corners they were put in, with some garland of the same color hung up periodically as well, looking more like a pearled necklace in design.

A tall Christmas tree wrapped in a few long strands of the same garland finished the decorations of the place, with a large hand clock ticking slowly down the minutes till New Years.

In other words, this casino was not only one ready for the holiday's festivities, but one also full of cash waiting to be taken.

At least that's what the Royal Flush Gang thinks.

A loud crash of glass erupted throughout the lobby area as the front doors were reduced to tiny shards of its former glory, the entire frame of the thing even collapsing to the ground with a loud topple.

The crowds of people inside immediately started screaming as they took cover behind whatever they could find, all of them slowly poking their heads out in the direction of the loud noise, four people dressed in black with face paint that resembled a card's face standing in the former doorway.

" Ladies and gents," The Queen started (aka the leader of the gang), before blowing a party blower, its joyful cries not one that matched the feelings of the large crowd.
