“Are you over 18? Because I’m not about statutory rape, you know? Though, I don’t know what the age of consent is in this state… But I just don’t want to risk it.” She smiled at him and sipped at her soup.
“I look that young to you?” He paused, raising an eyebrow at the woman. “I’ll have you know that I’m well over 18 by this point.” He pushed his plate forward and grasped his wine glass in one fluid movement. He took a sip, not breaking the stare. “We could do this all night, you know.”
“Cisco, I know all of that. Barry is my uncle.” He replied. After a pause, he tried to figure out how he had to word what he should say. It wouldn’t be until later that Cisco takes on his destiny as Vibe. “Before I went back in time, you- your future you- told me to talk to you and tell you everything. I’m not sure why, but I’ll explain it all to you. 20 years from now, Barry is going to die.”
Cisco was silent as the man spoke. “Barry, Uncle. He’s going to die?” Cisco’s voice broke as he finished the sentence. “What do you mean, Barry’s going to die? This is nothing to joke about, bud.”
“Anything, huh? You sure about that? Because you don’t look so sure.” Helena smirked and met his eyes again. “And trust me, I’m really not paying much attention to my soup. I can have this anytime. You’re a commodity.”
“Yeah, anything. As long as its not completely and terribly illegal, I’m down.” Cisco smiled, meeting her gaze as he took yet another bite, finishing his pasta.
“No, I wasn’t affect by it. I was born a year after the particle accelerator explosion, actually only a couple of days ago. If you think you’ve heard some weird stuff in your life, you’ve got a lot coming to you.” Wally explained to him. “I’m from the future.”
“Future thing isn’t new. My boss was from the future. He was a jerk, to put it lightly. He killed me once. Then The Flash ran so fast he went back in time and here I am.” Cisco smiled. “Why are you here, though? I’m sure the future is so much better than this time.”
“I always come back.” Eobard shrugged, playing it casual. “Open it. I promise it’s nothing deadly. Just a gift from the future, to a mind bright enough to understand.”
He watched Cisco shake the box. Nothing in there would break. “Start believing. I never wanted to be your enemy.”
Cisco cautiously opened the box to reveal the contents. He cocked his head to the side, confused as to what he was looking at. “What’s this?” He took the object out and began to study it.
Helena laughed. “That’s quite the preference,” she remarked. “That’s actually quite intriguing. Because you were definitely giving me signals that you were into me.”
“Oh, don’t get me wrong. I am into you.” He said before sipping his wine. “I’m down for whatever.” He said, half regretting saying that. The other half was all for it. “How’s your food?”
Stepping outside, Wally looked around to make sure no one was watching them. Grabbing Cisco’s arm, he took off running. Within a few seconds, they were in STAR Labs. Wally knew they had a few hours until everyone else came in, hopefully it would be enough time. “Cisco, what I’m going to tell you is going to sound crazy, but I need you to listen to me.”
“Woah. Talk about a headrush!” Cisco exclaimed, shaking his head. “How do you have the same powers as The Flash? Were you affected by the power accelerator, too?” He rambled before the young man began to speak. "I’ve heard some pretty crazy things in the past year, I’m sure it won’t beat that.” He smiled.
“Oh, right but I thought you were for a coffee or something. I’m fine, well, kind of. I saw him…” She muttered, passing by his side “Eobard, he’s alive”
“I know. He was waiting for me when I got into work this morning. Talk about a wake up call.” Cisco scoffed, trying to play off how freaked out he was.
