Don't get me started. I've seen two and both of them were terrifying.
[ killer frost even more so if only because she was caitlin's evil doppleganger risen from the depths of hell alongside Reberb ]
I took the one designed for firefighters and um, updated it a little to suit our needs. You know, with him going so fast and making turns and running up buildings.
Two? -- I guess that kinda makes sense, cold and speed are opposites, and they always somehow manage to have just the worst powers.
[ its so inconsiderate. can't supervillains ever just have powers that have no influence over the hero? they'd come up, all gung-ho, and then it'll literally just feel like they're tickling them or something? statistically, at least one has to have useless powers, right! ]
Smart - [ definitely impressed there, picking up a firefighter's turnout to build off of is resourceful. ] what'd you upgrade it with?
Ah that's awesome - can't wait to see it! So you're like - an engineer back home, too?
[ now he feels like kara got jiffed with his suit, all it does is cover her up. it does it well - it's sturdy and takes everything she puts it through which is a lot to ask from any fabric. but it doesn't really do anything additional. of course, kara has so many superpowers she doesn't really need the aid of a super suit -- but it sure would have been cool if he could make her one anyway. ]
mechanical engineer, yeah man, that's me. And a vital part of Team Flash. Or - the you of Team Flash, me and Kara decided that. Or - you're the me of Team Supergirl. wait am i the you of Team Flash or are you the me of Team Supergirl?
[ he is so ok with being the you of team supergirl, cisco. ]
Well - more like a me - or - I'm a you - cuz I'm - I'm the computer genius, not the mechanical engineer. I mean, I can whip up sick toys I just -- it's faster when the DEO takes care of those? I need to expend. [ his sidekicking pride is hurting here. ]
That's my job too. I mean, here and at home, I make the toys and I'm there to make sure the ones that need improvements are Cisco'ed.
[ a little long suffering look ]
is she taking care of the suit? 'cause let me tell you, he really doesn't sometimes. I think he forgets that while I make extras, it breaks my heart to see them destroyed. literally. heartbroken.
Not so much destruction so far, but that's more to do with how sturdy my suits - and Kara - are, less her being careful. She just - [ whooshing with his hand ] straight into danger.
[ he gets to admire it because alex is there to tell her to stop and think and the deo has her back. but it's still scary and worrying sometimes. ]
Not really -- though man, if they ever work together that'd be epic - but Kara's not into it. You know, he was established before her, and he's a man - she's a hero in her own right and she wants people to see that, you know? So she takes care of National City, and he takes care of Metropolis.
[ ok, be fair Winn. ]
And the world. But National City is basically an evil-alien magnet, so it's a lotta work! Does the Flash work with anyone else?

[ not that he wants to think about captain cold especially not in relation to kara. or any relation. ever. ]
she told me about her suit. What did you use for it?
action;
[ freeze breath is cool
badum tish. ]Structured polymer composites - she's bulletproof, but it'd be pretty embarrassing if the suit fell apart in the middle of an armed robbery.
action;
[ he doesn't care how barry insists there's something there. nope. nyet. ]
Our problem was him catching on fire when he stopped running.
[ firm nod. oh the good ol' days. ]
action;
[ he's getting a feeling. can't have a superhero without them, after all. ]
What'd you use?

action;
[ the first time has been traumatic enough. barry had forgiven him, of course but cisco still blames himself for the entire matter.
in a way, didn't he create Captain Cold? ]
I can track it all over town, it has the comm inside so he can be in contact with us all the time.

[ nodding ]
No wonder they hit it off so well. I still can't believe I won't be there to see it. I should demand a redo.
action;
[ he doesn't want to say goodbye to cisco forever, ok. ]
action;
[ already going with this idea ]
They might have named one of their strongest coffees after the Flash. He thinks it's really funny.
action;
[ it doesn't even have to be named after supergirl. she has that effect as kara danvers. ]
action;
hey there, I'll have two superhnuts and a Flash -
[ oh my god the geekdom ]
action;
Definitely not calling them supernuts.
[ that makes him think of superman's...no. ]
action;
[ come on winn, explain to cisco about superman's nuts :) ]
action;
[ do you see where he's going with this. ]
action;
[ cringing. ew. ]
Are they a crime fighting team? Superman and Supergirl to the rescue? I am still waiting for a female speedster.

[ a hum ]
sometimes he works with the Green Arrow from Starling City. He's seriously awesome, no superpowers or anything but he is legit awesome.
action;
[ why can't they all just be awesome? well, there would be a lot fewer badass fights to watch. ]
Green Arrow -- archer? [ the bow is a surprisingly popular superhero weapon, wow. ]
action;
[ barry is still better but still. ]
Friend of the Flash and when they team up, it's seriously awesome. and terrifying. since those times are usually...also terrifying.
[ never forget eobard thawne. ]
