Well at least Cisco was still sort of thinking. Len wasn’t sure the kid quite got why he was wary though. He looked around at the mess that Cisco had left behind him. “Just how dangerous are you? What are your powers and skills?”

Fair question to ask. Knowing Cisco as he was before, there would be no problems accepting him into the Rogues. Cisco as he appeared now…Len wasn’t so sure. If Cisco was unstable, that wasn’t good. He couldn’t risk having that on his team.

“You know I’m a mechanical engineer. I make tech. Any kind of tech. You name it, I can built it. But those are just my credentials. If we’re talking powers, that’s a whole different thing. I vibe off people. Touch them, get a sense of what they’re feeling, what they’re going through, and some other crap. Still exploring that. I can also send vibrations out of my hands and feet and the amount of energy I put behind it determines how strong it is. The little vibrations you felt under your feet? That was hardly a sneak peek as to what I can do. The earthquake was me, but it was a mistake. I lost control. I had some power-dampening wristbands, but I left those behind. I’m in control now. I know what I’m capable of and how to control it all. I can do this.” Cisco said, shoving his hands in his pockets and scanning Len’s face.

The mini earthquake under his feet alarmed him. Cisco’s powers were dangerous enough that Len was pretty sure he wasn’t getting out of this without at least one new bruise.

“So what’s your plan, Vibe?” Len asked. “Destroy things? Make people afraid of you? Kill a few people? You gonna go rob some banks like the Rogues?”

He’d tried to recruit Cisco before. Back when Cisco was a ball of sunshine and his sweetness would have been a pleasure to have in the crew. This Cisco, however, was a different story.

Cisco smirked at Len’s reaction to the vibrations. “No, I was actually on my way out of town for a few days. I gotta get out of here. I’m still too dangerous. Things aren’t in control. I won’t hurt anyone, Snart. You know that. Just because I seem a little uh, darker, doesn’t mean I’ve lost my conscience. I’m not a monster.” He paused, taking off his sunglasses to look the man in the eye. “I don’t intend on hurting anybody, but I know you guys have been looking for a techie. I’m your guy, Snart.”

“Last I heard, your name was Cisco,” Len returned cooly. He didn’t mind attitude, but he didn’t like it coming off the younger man. “You are destroying property, drawing attention to yourself, and you’re gonna end up hurting someone. Your sister just texted me. She thinks something is wrong with you. And I’d say she’s probably right.”

“Nothing is wrong with me, Snart. I’m just embracing my powers for the first time in a while.” Cisco said, narrowing his eyes at the man behind the frames. “It’s Vibe, and don’t bring her into this.” He sneered, sending a few warning vibrations through the ground towards Len.

Len had a lot on  his mind. His dad was still at large. Lisa had been acting oddly, and had run off unexpectedly on mysterious errands at least twice. Eobard also had things on his mind. Not that he’d opened up about it, and Len hadn’t pushed. Yet.

The only one in his life who hadn’t really changed much was Mick, but Mick was busy at the moment. Lots of animals displaced or orphaned by the quake meant Mick was working over-time with rescues, home groups and other people to find, rescue and return lost pets, or find them new homes.

So Len was left to his own devices for now. He was off the pain meds, and if he was good, in about five days he’d get the stitches out. As he walked down the street he became aware of. Well a lot of noise. He paused and stared at the young man walking down the street. The face was familiar, even behind the sunglasses. The odd smile on his face was not, however. And these new powers were definitely not something Len had been aware of. Ok then.

Len patted his cold gun, plastered a smug grin on his face, and wandered across the street to join young Cisco. “What do we have here? Cisco Ramon acting like a hoodlum. This is a surprise.” Len’s smile sharpened. “Just what do you think you’re doing, kid?”

“Hoodlum? I’m no hoodlum, Snart. I’m also not a kid. I have a name, and it’s Vibe.” Cisco stated, sauntering closer to the man, arms hovering by his sides, with palms facing forward. “What are you doing out this late, don’t you have jewelry stores to be robbing or something?” He watched the man behind the dark frames for any sign of movement. He wasn’t about to get his ass froze because he wasn’t paying attention.
