Violet hummed happily, clearly pleased to be able to bond with her brother over Detroit. “My plan was Belle Isle. Where’s Sea Life?” She continued to chew on her thumbnail. “Hey, your family… Where are they now?”

“Well, now that I think about it, I think Sea Life is technically in Auburn Hills. It’s about a half hour or so north of Detroit.” Cisco sighed, missing the quaint little mitten state. Hie had family connections there, his mom’s side of the family had lived in Detroit for generations, so there were always family trips around major holidays throughout hte year. “Eh, probably at some recital of Dante’s or sitting around the house  doing whatever it is they do. I don’t talk to them much. Only when I really have to.”

Violet kicked off her shoes and reclined on her bed that she had only used a couple times but still felt incredibly homey. She had never had her own bed before. “Well, we’ll probably have sex. So that’s fun.” She said it primarily to get her brother to at least crack a mock grimace and relax. “Nah but really, I’m going to show him where I grew up. All my different foster homes and like the places I first got arrested at and the fun stuff. And I want to see if Abuelita Claudia is still alive. Everyone loved her, she was this untouchable matriarch of all of the untouchables in the neighborhood. She would faint if she saw me with a guy like Barry. She’s the one that actually told me to come find you. She uh… She knew my mother. Well… She had seen her. I mean… She thinks that she saw my mother drop me off at the firestation. We think my mother’s name was Vanessa. But um. Anyway. Abuelita Claudia always would chase me with a wooden spoon because she would see me out with gangs and stuff and she told me that I was better than that and that she would personally ring my neck if she saw me hanging around with those guys again. Of course, the next time she saw me with them, she just gave the same threat. She managed to get some good hits with that spoon. But yeah, I think she would really like to meet Barry. God, she must be in her 80s now.” Violet looked deep in thought as she chewed on her thumbnail and stared up at the ceiling. “We’re staying at the fanciest hotel in town. And we’re going to go to the aquarium because i’ve never been to an aquarium and in the movies, aquariums are super romantic so we can hold hands and look at sea turtles which is a long-time dream of mine. And um, yeah. I’m stealing him away from the city for two days. Fingers crossed that nothing crazy happens here 15 minutes after we leave.”

“Really didn’t need to know the sex thing, but okay.” Cisco said, squeezing his eyes shut and shaking his head as if he could erase the thought. As Violet gushed about Claudia, A yawn took over Cisco’s face and he rubbed his eyes as he felt them getting heavier. “Aquariums are fun. Which one are you going to, Belle Isle? Or Maybe the Sea Life Aquarium? Sea Life has more variety, so I’d recommend that one.” He smiled, closing his eyes. “I’ll keep an eye on the city. I’m sure Vibe can take care of things while the Flash takes a holiday.”
