Violet: You know if you tell me not to do something I’m going to do the opposite. Forbidden Fruit and all that jazz.
Violet: I’m not even at the hospital I’m wandering around the city.
Violet: Are you doing something shady. What’re you doing. Now you’ve got me all intrigued.
Cisco: It doesn’t matter what I’m doing. Go home, Vi. Pop in a movie. You shouldn’t even be out this late.
Text: Brother
Violet: Len is really nice to me. I like nice people.
Violet: Speaking of; Wherever you’re going I want to go too. I’ll be good and sit in the corner but I really can’t be alone right now. Something bad happened today and Felicity is in some sort of coma in the hospital.
Cisco: Hey, I’m sorry to hear about Felicity. I know how much she means to you. Any other time I’d let you tag along, but this time I just can’t. When I’m done I’ll stop by the hospital to get you, k?
Cisco: I got you some of your favorite ice cream, btw. It’s in the freezer :]

Vi: Ciscoooo. Len is super nice. And I feel like he might be cuddly. Haven’t tested it yet. Probably never will. Len is so cool, tho. Like. No pun intended. When I grow up I wanna be just like him tbh. PS Oliver’s exes are all smoking hot. Like. What the hell, man.
Vi: Also make sure not to come and save me if I don’t want to be saved, k?
Cisco: Please stay away from Len. You really don’t want to be part of his crowd. Also, I know little about Oliver other than I’m pretty sure he find joy in shooting me.
Cisco: I will come and save you, even if you don’t want to be saved because I can’t lose the only family member I actually genuinely care about.
Cisco: I’m going to be out tonight, so if you’re staying at my place, don’t wait up, kay?

Vi: Oh. Nothing. It was hypothetical. Don’t worry about it.
Vi: Also Hypothetically. Do you know of some sort of Assassin group with a woman named Nyssa in it? Might possibly also hypothetically be Oliver’s ex-wife?
Cisco: Idk. Don’t get in trouble, would ya? I don’t want to have to come and save you.
Cisco: But I would. jus for the record.
Picking Up the Pieces || Cisco & Barry
Barry was quiet as his friend ranted, tired and with eyes averted until he hit Barry’s nerve. He was on his feet again in an instant, looking at the other with determination. “I care if you’re in harms way Cisco! I care! And no matter what I do or how right about things I feel someone always ends up hurt! And I can’t…I can’t let it be you. It’s…” Barry shook his head and stepped back, tripping a bit back into the couch before he just held his head. “I can’t.”
“Well I don’t care!” Cisco yelled back, his friend towering over him. “I can protect myself, Barry. I don’t need you always protecting me!” Cisco could feel the wristbands really begin to affect him. He felt the engery build up inside him, but it had nowhere to go. He just pushed it back, allowing it to add to the other bottled up energy and other feelings he had been repressing for the past 6 months. “If you don’t want me here, then I’ll just leave! I’ll be stopping by the lab tomorrow to pick up some things I forgot.” He said with a stern tone as he pushed past Barry to make it to the door.

Vi: Hypothetically if Leonard Snart was my cool uncle how would that make you feel.
Cisco: Slightly uncomfortable, why?
The Walls of my Town (Come Crumbling Down) || Cisco and Eobard
Cisco passed out on the table, body limp and forehead pressed against the cool surface. The symptoms accompanying his visions were clearly more severe than Eobard had assumed. He finally stirred to touch Cisco, brushing his hair out of the way and pressing two fingers against his neck. The pulse was strong and steady against Eobard’s fingertips. With that in mind, Eobard pulled away and reached for another chair.
He parked himself next to Cisco and waited, hands gingerly massaging his broken kneecap while he thought. A woman with dark hair didn’t tell him much. ‘Not earth’ was just as cryptic, but in a different direction. Cisco could see into different timelines, he knew that much. Could he also see different Earths? If so, he would be immeasurably useful in tracking the breaches and those who came through.
Eobard blinked and roused himself out of his thoughts when Cisco woke up. “Still here. You were… overstimulated. Are all your visions such an ordeal?”
He woke up to the cool metal still under his cheek. The ringing of loud voices in his head was gone, and now there was just a ringing in his ears. The metallic taste in his mouth was mostly gone, and his vision had cleared. “Not typically. I’ve never had a vibe like this. Normally I have to touch them or be in their presence. I guess with everything that’s happened, things are going to be different, huh?” Cisco said, biting the inside of his lip. “It may be a side effect of the wristbands.”
Picking Up the Pieces || Cisco & Barry
“It was just a run in. I can just do this alone Cisco. There’s always gonna be people gunning for me. It’s nothing to be worried over.” Barry did look at him with surprise when Cisco dismissed his apology so quickly, but he only sighed at his words. “You could get a better best friend. And seriously, you need someone who you’re around a lot to do the codes…you never know when you might want access. And I’m not fragile, I’ll heal. Don’t fuss.”
“Dude. You’re making me depressed. Stop it. I will never find a better friend than you, so stop.” Cisco sighed, shaking his head at Barry. “Also, stop refusing my help. I want to be here. I don’t care if it puts me in harm’s way. I am here for you, and always will be. And whether you like it or not, ‘m staying. You may not want me in the cortex, or at the lab at all, but I’m still going to make an effort to be in your life. I’m not letting my best friend push me completely out of his life.” He leaned against the counter and stared Barry down.
Violet but her lip. “Yeah, I just called your best friend and my boyfriend an awkward little hamster. Though, I’m not sure if he is my boyfriend still. It was never really explicitly a breakup, you know?” Violet sighed. “If it’s okay I’ll probably be in and out… I’m trying to spend a lot of time with Griffin.”
“Gotcha. Next time I’m out, I’ll get a key made for you.” He smiled, walking around the counter to get in the fridge. “You want something to drink? I have milk, lemonade, hard cider, and beer.”
