Ok So let's play this one by the New52's rules
Barry and Iris aren't together, hence no Wally as Kid Flash.
Wally needs a connection to Barry to be A Flash.
ok first thing we do is take a page from JL JLU and make Wally a Lab-Rat or intern at the Central City Crime Lab Barry is Gil Grissom to Wally's Greg Sanders (We could even throw in Wally's exchange with the crew cut boss from Flash and Substance Barry gives Wally some evidence to check out on a recent case (give Wally a trace or chem analysis expertise) and as Barry goes out to catch Weather Wizard Wally works at the "rack of Chemicals!" WW whips up a storm and with Barry using some of his newer tricks charges the lightning in the storm with Speed Force Energy. Wally is hit by said lightning and is thrown by the explosion after Barry stops WW he visits Wally in the hospital when the doctors tell Barry that Wally's healing faster than anyone ever should Barry goes to his young friend and realizing what has truly occurred and how he's responsible for it he comes clean to Wally and suggests that Wally become his Partner in protecting the Twin City's. Wally agrees and jumps the Bridge to join the Keystone PD on Barry's recommendation as one of their CSI's while Barry stays in Central. the two of them work their own cases and also team up when the rogues bounce back and forth between cities.
To allow for the Five Year Crimp, Wally and Linda will still be together but not yet married and no kids as of yet (Sorry Jai and Irey fans!) Unlike Barry who kept it a secret from Iris/Patty for all those years, Wally tells Linda up-front about himself and but lwaits until Barry gives his go-ahead to fill her in on his Mentor's identity.
Edit: as I was driving to work it occurred to me to add another little twist Wally and Barry would wear identical uniforms so no one could tell that they're two different Flashes. Most will assume Flash is so fast that he can actually be in two places at once. The Flashes use this as an advantage and don't give any indication of the truth.
Now there are some differences of course, which Rogue was involved as well as what Wally was doing when Lightning struck him. Still, very interesting to note that the scenario as it plays out is NOT all that different from my own hypothetical scenario. granted I had placed Wally as older (late teens early twenties as in my mind Barry was in his early 30's (he may have been in his mid to early twenties when he was first struck by the lightning but then there was the five year gap and now it's been four years since New52 started)
as I said...this morning, I found the post deleted...
