I know it's hard not to see it like that, but different Earths - mean completely different people, completely different paths. There are people here - great people, even [ they've put hank's counterpart behind them, he doesn't want to reopen the case, not with cisco. yes, he's mad at the guy for hurting kara, but that doesn't mean he has to go through this mess again with another friend and crewmate. ] - who are unspeakably evil in other worlds. It doesn't say anything about them, though. This - Reverb, he's not your future, he's a future, a possibility. Your - Reverse Flash. But you know what that makes you? The Flash. The hero. That potential's way stronger from where I'm sitting. You're not a killer, Cisco. I'd bet my life on it.
[ cisco doesn't seem like he has an evil bone in his body. and maybe - maybe he can hope that if ciso beats his odds - he could beat them too. ]
[ he nods, he understands all too well. he's lived in fear for so long of people finding out...until they did and nothing changed. well, mostly. at least they didn't beat him up, like kds used to. ]
But anytime you do wanna talk, just call me up, I'll come meet you. And I'm - I'm really sorry, for all of it.
[ it's so awkward. he wants to give the guy a hug but they're sitting down and it just feels awkward. it's the kind of thing he wouldn't have a problem doing with kara, or kitty, or even kate. but with a guy...it just feels so awkward. ]
[ sidetracked - he jumps to his feet too and gives cisco a warm hug before heading to the bar with him. he hasn't really touched his beer yet, but now that the mood isn't so gloomy, he'll catch up easily enough so he may as well get the next one. ]
She's -- she's Kara. She's strong, she never stays down for long.
[ but he knows how hard being here is on her. what happened with hank wasn't helping, neither was his reaction to it. he tries his hardest, but it never seems to be quite enough, and it takes all the cheer right out of him to think about it. ]
The game'll help. And she asked me to add emoji to the network - how're you at drawing? Wanna give me a hand?
[ Kara's nice, after all. she reminds him of barry in her happy go lucky way but being a bff of the latter, Cisco knows the cheer and smile can hide many other things beneath. It probably doesn't help when she wants to be Supergirl, strong for everybody's sake. ]
I'm not the best but I think we can whip a few emojis.
[ he nods. nothing ever feels like enough - every time he tries to help her, he feels like he somehow just ends up making things worse. she's supergirl and he's superfail. ]
Hey, if they suck they'll make her laugh, I'll take that.
It's a hard in a space-world without comfort food. With Caitlin, I usually buy her ice cream and 3 scoops later - new person. Got us through really weird times.
[ and difficult ones but he was already enough of a debbie downer today ]
the worst feeling is that some people might be eating popcorn and enjoying her heartbreak - I WILL GET YOU -
[ whoa - dude. he actually jumps back a little bit cuz that was unexpected, but he nods along in earnest agreement. ]
It's support team's turn to save the day. And show the multiverse why you don't mess with the nerds.
[ he has dreams sometimes cisco. such glorious dreams of viruses infecting every system they've got, sending them back to the fucking stone age where they belong. you do not use tech for evil. you just do not. especially not to hurt his best friend. ]
Huh, is her metabolism different than ours? because if it is, she is really like Barry as far as eating goes. I once saw him go through 14 stacks of pancakes and that was before we hit the Chinese restaurant.
[ shaking his head. you'll get used to the dramatics, winn ]
So basically....like Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day!
Then she totally is like Barry -- I wonder who'll win in a pie eating contest - at potstickers it's totally gonna be Kara, she's a bottomless pit for those - and pizza - and ice cream - actually, yeah, my money's on Kara -
[ his money is always on kara though. you get an excited smile there, cisco. ]
Forget the fat lady. You're obsessed with fat lady. Just get us out of here!
Ok, this argument is futile. Barry's not here, we can't test this theory and I cannot kick your ass at a wager over him winning when the loser has to eat a whole bottle of cheese-flavored gel. You would have lost though.
I don't see them bringing Barry here. Unlike Kara, he doesn't need the sun and if he were fast enough to some end up on earth-3, he could get us out here with the proper Cisco'ed treadmill.

My finest creation yet.

It's a beauty - Kara'll love it - we should have game night.

bummer.

[ one based on his smarts, and not powers - one that he can enjoy, and be excited about, and use. ]
Like - Actuator or something - [ this is a no bummer zone, cisco. ]

[ firm nod ]
If anyone asks about the Vibe, I'll just say it's about me being the Tech Whisper or something.
[ ... ]
Though that's a cool name.

Vibe and Glitch to the rescue. [ he may be enjoying this a little too much. ]
