i've always called him harry. i'm a trend setter. also, it's best way to be clear which one you're talking about. double also, it annoys the shit outta him when people call him that. so i'm just saying, highly recommended.
april 2016. that's not so bad. makes things a lot easier i don't have to do the whole 'so here's what metahumans are' talk or whatever.
[ Or explain to her that Barry is a metahuman, or that he is, or about Eobard, or Ray not really being dead, and a dozen other potential spoilers that might be awkward to talk about. ]
don't worry about the glare. if he tries it on you, ask him how pythagoras is doing. that'll do the trick.
yeah, he's around. lurking. creeping. probably plotting something horrible, knowing him. but don't worry - as far as i can tell the supervillain contingent here is pretty much just him and he's actually been behaving himself (mostly) so don't wig
[ Of course, Felicity had had less contact with Eobard, and is brave in a dozen different ways, and probably wouldn't have freaked out even without the reassurance. But Cisco himself had done enough freaking out about it when he'd first arrived that it still feels like something he ought to say.
It occurs to him there might be a different reason for her surprise, so he adds: ]
the timeline stuff means there's a couple people here who are dead by our point in the timeline.
like, eddie's here.
[ Might as well - she'd hear about it sooner or later. ]
Well that's good. I think. Keeping a low super villain population. I'm guessing his lurking status means the Clock isn't into re-creating the STAR labs's padded prison cells.
[ For a moment there, she had panicked that Damien Darhk was here. Actually, no, she's still slightly panicking about that. She really should ask Cisco about it. ]
No one here is going by the name Damien Darhk, right? Tall, caucasian man with ... white hair.
[ His texts about Eddie though, and the idea that people who are dead who might be alive here, that catches her off guard. Though, coming back from the dead isn't a new concept anymore, after all they've gone through with the League of Assassins. There's a few seconds that pass where Felicity isn't typing at all, and then a flurry of texts are coming through. ]
it's got a weird thing about doors. i know there's a prison cell floating around somewhere, or at least there was a while back, but it definitely was not speedster-proof.
[ He thinks about telling her that Snart and Rory are here, but decides against it. If Eobard has been quiet in a way that seems ominous, the two of them have been... too busy playing house with Ray to stir up much real trouble, recently. She'll find out soon enough, probably. Better to let her figure it out on her own. Same goes to the fact that she was here before, because she clearly has no memory of that. Possibly this is a Felicity from a slightly different universe than the other one - and if that's the case is this the Felicity he knows, or was that one? The whole thing makes his head hurt. ]
yeah oliver told barry about him and barry told me and there's no sign of his freaky ass here, don't worry. i would've definitely led with that if he were.
[ That momentary radio silence after he mentions dating Eddie is... really worrying, but then she is sending text after text and they are all positive, and Cisco breathes a tiny sigh of relief. ]
thanks. i'm happy for me too.
[ He would love to let himself get distracted talking about how wonderful things have been with Eddie and how all that came to be, but he has another question for Felicity and he doesn't know how to ask it. If only he'd kept some kind of diary and brought it here with him so he could remember exactly what happened when in the timeline. ]
caitlin is here too if you are needing, um. any... medical... checkup...stuff....
[ But wait. ] Harry told me that Barry used to be here, and that’s he’s gone now. But Oliver. Is he? Still here?
[ She actually doesn’t have any idea what he’s talking about for a moment, until she does. ]
Cisco I’m not just going to melt into a puddle of tears if you bring up the wheelchair. But. I ran Caitlin today and I do need her help, but … it’s not what you think.
I can walk. I can walk!
[ She’s been so caught up with being here that she hasn’t even had a moment to celebrate that. ]
[ Which he already knows will be hard on Felicity - even if this is a Felicity from a slightly different universe. They're a team. He remembers how it was for him before Caitlin had shown up here, and after Barry had vanished. He can manage, can even be happy, but something's just... missing. ]
OKAY THANK GOD not thank god you can walk i mean also that but i could not remember if that would have happened yet for you so i was tryna think of the best way to ask without actually spoiling the future because even though it's not gonna mess up the timelines if we do that here it would still be a shitty thing to do like: "oh hey you're gonna be able to walk again in a few weeks back home too bad you're stuck here away from curtis and his awesome tech, whoops sorry about that felicity!"
[ She knows it shouldn't be, but it's a relief when Cisco tells her that Oliver isn't here. It's probably a good thing that it won't come up in conversation anytime soon. Or so she hopes. ]
lol yes Cisco that would have been SUPER AWK. At least we invented the Powercell so this baby will last my entire lifetime. If I'm stuck here that long. In the meantime I just need some PT. Which is why I still need Caitlin's help.
So. When are we going to get Big Belly Burger and talk about you and Eddie. Because I need deets.
ANYWAY crisis averted. you won't be. i'll get us out of here before you get a single gray hair, one way or another. awesome well i'm not a doctor obvs but if you ever want someone there cheerleading for you i'll break out the pigtails and the pompoms just say the word.
we can do that whenever, if you want.
[ He's not reluctant to talk about it exactly, just shy and a little surprised that she cares. That's Felicity though - she'd been bright and friendly from the moment Cisco met her, even though that was right after the particle accelerator exploded and S.T.A.R. Labs' reputation was in shambles. ]
did harry tell you about the big belly burger here, or did you come across it yourself, or do you just have an ironclad certainty that big belly burgers exist even in weird pocket dimensions?
Wow there's really a Big Belly Burger here? I was mostly kidding, but now that you're telling me that even this place has a Big Belly Burger, we basically have to go. What did someone have to think up? 'I want a delicious yet terrible fast food joint ASAP?'
i think it was probably harry tbh he loves bbb like no man i've ever met before and this place can be weirdly psychic when it comes to things that people want, it's not always just the conscious wishes
....... then again sometimes it interprets stuff really wrong so it's a wash overall

You're.
Dating!
CISCO.
Congratulations.
