“Gotta keep up this fiiiine physique,” Cisco laughed as he reached up to the bar and started pulling himself up.
“If Oliver catches you on that he’s going to make you learn how to actually use it.”
“Well, I have to at least try, right?” Cisco said, dropping down and turning to face his friend. “Gotta attempt to keep up with all our crime-fighting friends.”
Oliver laid in a pool of his own blood hanging on in a semiconscious state. He didn’t see the ambush sheathed in the shadows.
Cisco took off his sweatshirt and held it to the wound as he took out his phone and realized it was completely dead. “This is actually the worst possible time for my phone to die.”
“Well,” Barry started. He didn’t really know how to start this, he didn’t really know what he was going to say let alone how to say it. “Joe and I have this theory–” Barry stopped pacing and closed his eyes for a moment. Even thinking about it was super hard for Barry. “Cisco, you can’t – you can’t trust anything he says.” The superhero breathed out heavily.
Cisco raised his eyebrow at Barry. “What are you talking about? Dr. Wells is one of the smartest men I know.” Cisco was perplexed, not knowing how to react to this news. “Care to elaborate? Or would you rather go..” Cisco paused, looking around. “Somewhere else?”
“You do realize that Caitlin is going to be sooooo upset with you for testing so much stuff without her around.” Barry joked as he watched the footage with Cisco. “Cisco, we’ve gotta talk about Dr. Wells.” Barry said as he leaned back into the chair for a moment before he stood up and started to pace around the room again. He was doing that a lot lately, pacing.
“Yeah, well.I think she’ll just be glad I didn’t seriously injure myself.” Cisco said, laughing again. He watched as he paced around the room, and contemplated doing it himself. Instead, he reached over and grabbed his soda to occupy himself. “What about him?” Cisco asked, taking a long drink and thinking of all the possible things Barry would want to talk about.
“Just a text from Joe.” Barry shrugged as he plopped down into Caitlin’s seat and rested his hands to the back of his head. He swallowed as he spun in the chair again, though this time it was slower. “Huh.” Barry had been so busy at CCPD that his time in the actual lab was limited, not to mention he was usually always on the streets chasing after a bad guy or another meta.
“Gotcha.” He said, looking at Barry and nodding his head lightly. His mind wandered back to his weapon testing from earlier in the day and the smile widened. He turned to the computer once more and searched for something on the hard drive. “So earlier, I tested some new tech, right? Check out what happened!” Cisco was surprisingly excited to re-watch the footage of his testing of a new weapon that backfired. “Oops.” He said, chuckling.
