so, you know how you're zingo's favourite aunt?
i have a huge favour to ask.

sure thing
how can i help?

can you babysit while i move in with my boyfriend who has just admitted he's my boyfriend?
i can't put zingo through the trauma.

of course! happy to!
i can look after her for as long as you need!

i'm assuming this is john, right?
i know he's a super buff strong dude but if you need an extra pair of hands, i can send eddie over
he's always happy to help out and i think him and john are boxing buddies or something

we don't have all that much to move in, i think we'll be fine.
i just don't want to stress zingo out until i can get her properly settled.

( Also, she really, really wants to get laid. It's a thing. )

well in that case bring her on over
i will make the most stress-free environment possible
it'll be like a day at the puppy spa
puppy heaven

[ He texts the address of his apartment - and sends a text over to Eddie letting him know about the situation. ]

you guys found a place then?
that's awesome!

[ Cisco makes a mental note to grab a nice loaf of bread and a broom to give Clarice when she drops off Zingo. And a bottle of wine, naturally. Some traditions are nice, after all. ]

we did.
it's nice. small, but it's cozy. and we're going to decorate it ourselves. thankfully we have similar tastes.
i've never had my own place before, so i'm pretty excited.

similar taste is very important
don't get me wrong, i love eddie, but before i moved in, the apartment looked like something out of a catalogue
chic but like totally generic and kinda bland

and hey you two are used to living together right
from the underground or whatever
so you've probably already figured out all the hard stuff about moving in with somebody

i could not live like that.
i'd be afraid to breathe wrong and fuck up the apartment or something.

( There's will be clean, bright, but it'll still feel comfy. Which is what she needs. )

pretty much.
but my mission is totally making john a little *less* considerate. he's been making sure other people's needs are put before his for too long. he needs to take a break. eat the last poptart. forget to replace the juice. leave his boots somewhere not regimentally tucked away.

right???
that shit's genuinely intimidating!
i get itchy when shit's too cookie-cutter and pristine and bougie

clarice. can i just say?
deeply feel you on that one.
like we need to arrange an emergency summer session of 'healthy levels of selfishness 101' for our boyfriends

[ Cisco's not exactly one to talk, here, but sometimes it's easier to recognize issues in someone else than in yourself. ]

i'd say we could lock them in a room with nothing but pizza and beer and crappy tv but john has a thing for running through walls like they're paper so that wouldn't work.

( It's impressive.

And hot. )

tell me about your guy!

i bet i could build a wall he couldn't run through
.... ok that sounded cool and not creepy in my head before i typed it

[ Cisco does have plenty of experience, making power dampeners, and cells that could nullify metahuman powers. All the evidence he's seen makes him pretty confident the same tech would work on mutant powers. But he's hoping none of that is going to be necessary, here. Not unless there's a mutant or meta or powered person who starts going around murdering people. ]

he's a detective. bit of a jock.
ridiculously nice unless you're a complete monster to him, and sometimes even then.
obsessed with being a hero and helping people who can't defend themselves.
he's a meta, too. he can make these shields out of energy, and heal injuries.
he only realized a few months ago.

I'm pretty sure that would be a terrible surprise. I kind of like that he's indestructible.

it means i worry less.

( That's a bare faced lie. John might be indestructible but Clarice seriously can't stop her heart from jumping into her throat when he does something reckless. Even before they got together she thought he did too much, put too much weight on his shoulders. It's worse now. )

he sounds nice.
it definitely feels like we have the same type, cisco.
jock guys who're too nice for their own good and want to save the world.

eddie only ACTS like he's indestructible
(i worry a LOT)

yep.
🤣 what is WRONG with us????

i don't know, but but whatever it is i think it's made me pretty lucky.

( Because John is far, far too good for her. )

so i'll drop zingo off after work? i've got like a bag with her stuff in it. food and apparently the blanket that no longer belongs to me.
i'll owe you big time.
