Lisa followed closely behind Cisco, hands up on either side of his arms to catch him in case he fell or something. He still seemed wobbily but it wasn’t the power she saw. As he crawled into bed, she stood over him or a bit before sliding in next to him. Spooning around him, she could feel his body shaking.
“God, Cisco, what happened? I need to know. Please,” she traced her fingers down his cheek. “Let me help you. I’ll I’ve put together someone hurt you. Who did this? I’ve been in your place and I know what this is like and I may not be able to face my demon but I’ll stare down the devil if it helps you. And I don’t care what you can do, you’re still my sexy and smart Cisco.”
And she meant it, she had been in his place, she knew what it was like. Unfortunately she had no one to help her through it, Len had left and she all alone against her father. She had planned to sneak out in the early morning when he was sleeping but now she couldn’t bring herself to.
Now shaken by what just happened, she knew she wouldn’t be sleeping. Once he was sleeping again she would go back to poking around. But for now, she knew he needed her.
“Alternate timelines, not important. Don’t worry. I’ll handle it when the time comes.” He grabbed a pillow and hugged it tight, feeling safe again with Lisa by his side.
