how? did i tell you enough about whatever i used to do it that you could get me going on the right track so i can build it here and maybe we can bust out of this place for good?
[ Clearly thinking in terms of tech, not powers, here. ]
i can get there. might stop and check on harry first.
do you have somewhere safe to go?
[ They should all be getting their asses behind locked doors as soon as possible, especially now that Jay knows Barry's powers are gone. He can't be happy about that.
Barry doesn't use the word 'humiliated' lightly and Cisco knows it. ]
[ That assumption actually earns a huff of exasperated laughter, because it's so incredibly off track and so incredibly Cisco. ]
yeah, kind of.
but there wasn't any building.
[ At least they're all on the same page with the lockdown. That's making this easier. The idea of getting himself behind a locked door hadn't quite occurred to him, but only because Zoom's already made it clear Barry's old news. ]
he doesn't want to fight me. but yeah, i'll get somewhere safe.
[ Somewhere safe being Cisco's apartment, well after everyone else has gotten there. And, a little belatedly: ]
????? sooooo we opened it by accident? a side effect of something? throw me a bone here dude if i'm gonna have any hope of getting us out of here then i need to know how it went down
he might change his mind about that, he's pretty freaking crazy, i wouldn't exactly count on consistency. better safe than sorry.
[ Oh fuck. Here he'd been hoping it was literally absolutely anything but that. Good. It's great. This is fine.
Cisco makes the executive decision that he is not dealing with this right now. Zoom's here and he's got to triage that first and........ this can wait. ]
❓❗️
okay you know what i'm making the call we gonna table this for now cuz i'm at harry's workshop so brb
[ That went well. Hindsight reminds him that Darth Vader analogies were a thing, and are probably still very much a thing in Cisco's mind at the point in time he's from. Too little, too late. The damage is already done, and Cisco's right; they don't have time to deal with it now. ]
i'll meet you guys at your apartment later. be careful, cisco.
