The Flash The right kind of Vibe - the Cisco Ramon thread

[Lencho01]

These have been pretty entertaining...

Chapter One

Note to self: Meta-humans love turkey enchiladas.

Well, at least Peek-a-boo, I mean Shawna, likes them. She ate the whole pan then told me to tell my mom thanks. I can see it now… “Yo Momma, this hot, teleporting thief that I am obsessed with loved your enchiladas.” Yeah, I think I’ll pass on that one. I’d like to live a little bit longer. At least until the new Star Wars.

So girls like food. Got it. Why haven’t I figured this out sooner?! This could have saved me so many lost comics.

I sat in Shawna’s transport cell for the first time today. The mirrors are pretty creepy, but totally necessary. She is definitely a flight risk. Usually, when I try to say hey and bring her food and stuff she just turns around. I get it, privacy is important. My brother and I had to share a room through all high school and it was the worst! But back to my convo with Shawna, she went on and on about that stupid Clay Parker guy that left her hanging. Of course she still loves him… he’s a jerk and he’s dumb and I am smart and awesome and hello Friend zone, so nice to visit again. I wonder if they’ll pass out shirts this time around?

Shawna’s powers are pretty sick. Apparently if she doesn’t teleport correctly there are some minor explosions. So obviously, I designed a gun based on that exact idea. I call it the Peek-a-BOOM! And it is my new favorite. Get this. A gun that when you shoot it directly at an object, say a teddy bear, it teleports the object to the next place you aim, and then causes an explosion! So, its not that practical, no biggie. I’ll keep the Boom for leisure time. If only rebuilding the molecular structure of the plush toys was easier. Oh well, RIP S.T.A.R. Labs teddy bears. You died for awesomeness and science.

Oh crap, I should stop exploding these bears and give her one, shouldn’t I?! Meh. I feel like she’s the type that would appreciate the Peek-a-Boom more. That’s it! I’ll tell her she’s my meta-muse, give her the gun and she’ll fall madly in love with me… Or shoot me, but it’s worth the gamble.

To be continued…

The Cold Gun

AKA, one of my biggest mistakes. Granted, having a gun that can freeze anything on impact is ridiculously cool, but this experiment was not worth it. I almost lost one of my best friends because of this stupid (but still awesome) gun.

Chapter Two

I always avoid eye contact when I drop off Prism’s daily grub and vitamins. Youknow, because he’s a meta-human that can control people’s emotions with hiseyes. Wow, I just realized how crazy that sounded. My life is awesome. Well,back to Prism. Today I showed up with my new mirrored sunglasses (coated with high density reflective glass, name pending- Stunna Shades) and stared straight into his baby browns. He, of course, tried to whammy me. I mean c’mon man, with these glasses you could stare straight at a nuclear explosion and it would just look like a blooming, smoky, badass flower. The whammie must have bounced off the glasses and hit him instead. Boo. Ya. The first self-whammie, ladies and gentlemen. Or multiple self-whammies, it seems, because his mood kept changing – he went from furious to devastated – yup I gave him a hug – to what can only be described as the most annoying emotion in the world… really, really happy.

Hey, I’m a pretty cheerful guy myself, but this dude just wouldn’t stop talking about all the things that make his life sick. Including the new found solitude - it gives him time to read and think and compose paintings in his head. Talk about making the best of a situation, am I right? He’s also “enthused” about the steady supply of Big Belly burgers and the view of the particle accelerator from his cell. Can someone talk you to death? I’m serious, like, is whammying by words a thing?

My big mistake was asking Prism for input on his supervillain name. He said he wanted to be called — and I kid you not — “Rainbow Raider.” Caitlin would be so pleased that the Meta chose the same name as her. Yeah, I’m obviously not going to tell her. The I-told-you-so face will have to wait until the next time she’s right. Countdown, three seconds. Besides, Prism is much more suave than Rainbow Raider – that sounds like the name of a Glimmer Wing My Little Pony (cue the Brony jokes.)

After an hour, Prism finally came down from his trip to la la land. Before yesterday, the psycho wouldn’t even tell me what allergies he had. Now, I know every detail of his life before and post superpowers. He was a weird dude then and he’s a weird dude now, but he likes to paint. That is something not supervillainy and surprisingly sweet. I think for his next rec time I’m gonna surprise him with a set of water colors and let him go wild. Hmmm, maybe I can ask him to paint something for Shawna. What to paint for a girl who loves teleporting, punk rock, and bad boys? Got it - a teleporting, punk rock bad boy! I could model. No, something she would actually like. I’ll get my brother Dante to model. Ladies love him. Till next time – Cisco, OUT!

Chapter Three

Fun story, I almost got murdered today. Let me rewind a bit. Momma if you ever read this, don’t be mad, I obviously survived and yada yada yada. Calm down. So I went to drop off the Mist’s food through the slot, but when I got there he was straight up passed out. I knocked on the glass and he didn’t respond. “Kyle… KYLE NIMBUS,” I yelled. He wasn’t breathing. Nothing. The next part is the dumb part. Some real Harry Potter chasing Voldemort without Ron and Hermione kind of stupid. You know what, Nimbus kind of resembles Voldemort….

Anyways, I went in with my gas mask secured hella tight and when I leaned over to check his pulse his eyes opened wide. I swear he smiled as he morphed into a green haze then wrapped himself around my neck like a snake! I couldn’t tear him off and then he became a man again. A crazy, trained assassin man who once worked for the most dangerous mob in Central City, mind you. He said he’d prefer to feel my neck in his hands and I, obviously, very much so preferred the opposite. It was all a blur of me punching and him absorbing the blows until he was “done playing with me.” Um, who’s playing, bro? I’m karate-ing the crap outta you. Then he got my mask off, I was so screwed. Okay, so then I’m squirming on the floor, breathing in well, mist, definitely asphyxiating. My gas mask is chilling in the corner just looking right at me. Also, I’m pretty sure I tasted him… so gross. Yes, I am eating toothpaste by the tube now. The taste of evil is no cherry slushy.

So there I am, smothered in his toxic fumes when Caitlin shows up rocking her own gas mask and a handheld vacuum. Like… a car vacuum. It was so jank but brilliant. Only Caitlin. She put that baby on full blast then cleaned that scumbag right up. Then she yelled at me with the fury of a thousand angry mothers. I was still trying to get my breath back (and check to make sure I didn’t need a new pair of underoos.) But I did manage a thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

You know, I was thinking, this was all supposed to be temporary. Wells said we would try to rehabilitate these people, find another solution. I never thought I would actually have to be a prison guard to the city’s most powerful and deadliest. Prisons, irl, are lame. None of us can be reduced to our worst decisions, our gravest mistakes. Even as the Mist was trying to kill me, I kind of saw his point. Locking people up is only going to make them angrier. And what if that person is innocent (see Barry’s dad) or really really cute (see Peek-a-boo.) Why did we even build this damn prison in the first place? Whatever, I probably lost too many brain cells today.

I didn’t lose too many it seems! Caitlin gave me a great idea for a new toy. Think vacuum. Okay, now imagine a giant, man-sized vacuum built with the power of an F4 tornado – you aim at a bad guy and WHOOMPF - he’s literally sucked through a hose and into a dust bag. Writing that made it seem… a bit dumb. I guess I did lose too many brain cells. Okay, nap time.
Cisco. Peace! (And slushies.)

Chapter Four

Get ready, this is a big one. A real dream come true. Everyone said it was a bad idea. Caitlin, Barry, all of them. Oh well. You ready?

Cinema Cisco. BOOM. It finally happened. The first moderately successful movie night in the Pipeline. And it was the Weather Wizard’s first night too! Damn, I’m good. So, I’ve tried to rig up monitors in the cells like a million times but The Mist kept trying to kill me and Prism kept trying to whammy me. I mean, cut a guy some slack. I’m trying to give ya some entertainment, people. This time, though, I recruited a really cool, teleporting lady. Maybe you know her? Peek-a-boo (Shawna!) - I promised she could have peanut M&Ms in her popcorn if she would be my lookout while I set the scarier ones screens up. Btw, ew. M&Ms? I’m all about that sour patch and popcorn mix.

The screens were up, the metas all in their respective cells, it was almost perfect until Mr. Handsome Weather Wizard started boohooing my movie choice. Who doesn’t dig The Goonies? Chunk, Data, Mama Fratelli, Sloth!!! Murderous meta-humans. WW riled em up, screaming for a vote. I think he’s just bummed Barry caught him in what, like, three minutes? Not impressed.

But I still asked what Shawna would vote for. “Not the Goonies,” she said. My heart is broken. She went on that the movie doesn’t stand the test of time. I almost snagged back her popcorn. I’m out of love and… I’m back in. Yeah, I’m easy. All she had to do was offer me a seat and a bite of her popcorn concoction. Honestly, it wasn’t that bad.

I paused the movie with a plan. I didn’t want the movie night to be another disaster and the Weather Wizard wouldn’t shut his pie hole so I’d let them think they were choosing the film. All I had to do was stack the odds in The Goonies favor. They could choose between Goonies, Mean Girls, the Godfather part III, and Pearl Harbor. Easy, right? Nope. They chose Mean Girls. Literally, every single one of them. Prism drew an explanation point as well as a very detailed rendering of me holding a piece of the tiara from the ending. I left him for like two seconds, tops! Oh, and I’m definitely hanging this in my living room. I look powerful.

I popped the movie in, prepared for more mayhem and hijinks from the metas, but instead a magical thing happened – everyone was silent, engaged, and dare I say happy. The best part was after Mean Girls, when I did my usual rounds, no one tried to murder me. Now I just gotta figure out the next movie choice. Was Tina Fey the key to their viewing pleasure or was it Lindsay Lohan? Should I try to stream that Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt show or whack them with a double dose of Lohan in the Parent Trap? Either way, Cinema Cisco will return.

Till next time, remember -

The Heat Gun

The opposite of the Cold Gun. This little guy was filled with highly concentrated combustible liquid fuel that ignited on contact with the air. In retrospect, creating a gun to fight a huge Marshmallow man was a bit of waste of tech. Imagine the s’mores, though!

[Tempest]

Those were great. I love Cisco. I was completely traumatized when he 'died'. I love his character to pieces. I will be very sad if they ever killed him off for good.

 

[Breogan]

Finally saw ep.13

From other thread:

His powers can enable him to remember an alternate timeline?

Things are getting weird at STAR labs. Also who is Vibe?

Cisco is definitely becoming Vibe!

The hints of Cisco being aware of alternate timelines, will likely be explained as inter dimensional/time vibration frequencies, that he can sense or tap into.

Michio Kaku - Vibrating string video a few posts back. - http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=28511583&postcount=3

Whether they are being created by speedsters time traveling, creating new realities as they go, or they exist naturally, Cisco will inevitably be able to breach or access them, at will.
Right now he is flashing to one, it's manifesting as a dream, but he will find there are other realities out there.
He just has to learn to control it.

The new goggles head-gear we see where he goes - "This is mad freaky!" Are probably him channeling and seeing all the alternate time lines out there.

It's probably overwhelming! - http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=30901821&postcount=58

Cisco ...mad freaky vibes!

 

[Breogan]

Vibe's reintroduction in 2013 has sought to establish him as a more powerful character. Part of this was redefining his powers as having to do with interdimensional physics.

Justice League of America establishes that Vibe's sonic waves have the power to disrupt the Speed Force, making him one of the few characters in the DC Universe who poses a serious threat to the Flash.

For this reason, he is recruited into the JLA by Steve Trevor, which exists to guard against the threat of the main Justice League going rogue. In Justice League of America's Vibe #3, Amanda Waller says "Cisco Ramon might be one of the most powerful super-humans on the planet. He wields vibrational powers that could in theory shake the Earth apart. And he's the only person we know of who can find and track interdimensional breaches". He is also undetectable by security cameras.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_(comics)

Alternate timelines = interdimensional by nature.

Keep in mind that Andrew Kreisberg the show runner on this show was a writer on the New 52 Vibe comic that redefined his powers this way.

Verry cool!
Even though his book didn't last long, I loved Cisco's reinvention in the N52.
I didn't realize Andrew Kreisberg was involved with both. It explains why The Cisco Kid is getting so much love on the show.

 

[p4poetic]

Do you think they'll ever have Cisco cut his hair? I mean I can live with it long, but I'd really like to see him with short hair next season.

 

[Lencho01]

I think he looks better with shorter hair.

Chapter Five

If you asked me what I expected to be doing last night I would not tell you I would be at a cemetery. Nope. Maybe I’d watch Bob’s Burgers. Maybe I’d whip Dante and Caitlin at Settlers of Catan again. Oh, one time I didn’t speak with Caitlin for a day because she was hoarding sheep. Who hoards sheep?! But instead of a possibility for any funness at all, I dodged gravestones on my way to a dead felon meta-human’s grave.

So when Mark Mardon aka the Weather Wizard asked me for a favor, I knew it was gonna be bad. I tried to shrug him off and distract him with his pad thai but he just asked me again louder. “Hey, little one,” he said. Mhmm, yeah I’m listening, please insult me then ask me for help. Works every time. “I need you to leave something on my brother’s grave.“

Hell no. Even if I wanted to help WW, cemeteries are terrifying and there are board games that need my attention. But when WW gave me his sob story about it being his younger brother’s birthday and how he needed to honor him, I immediately thought of Dante and how I would feel if he died. WW could tell I was cracking so then he hit me with the knockout punch. "You do this for me and I’ll let you watch whatever nerd movie you want next movie night.” That was it - storm maker had me. There would be so many choices! All the possibilities!

The plan was simple. Buy a bottle of nice bourbon, drink half, and then leave the other half on Clyde Mardon’s grave. Steps one and two worked out fine. I bought a bottle of Rebel Yell- seemed appropriately named - and chugged. AND chugged. Real burn your throat, mute your worries, and leave you dancing in the buff type of stuff. Next thing I know, I’m more than a bit tipsy and stumbling through the cemetery with a baseball bat ready for zombies or ghouls. Then the freaking rain starts. It was a sign! Lil WW was controlling the weather from the other side. I swear I even heard my name on the wind "CISCO… Your days are over.” I swung the bat like Babe Ruth! In retrospect what was a bat going to do against a disembodied weather ghost? The storm picked up, the rain was freezing and lashing against me. I could barely see my hand in front of my face.

By sheer luck, I found Clyde’s tombstone. I yelled “Yo Clyde, ease up, your brother sent me.” Nothing. “Even though you were evil and had a wicked God complex - your brother wanted you to have a drink on your birthday!” There was a long pause - I was half expecting Clyde to rise from the dead. And then the storm died down. I **** you not. Maybe Mom is right to believe in spirits and all that scary stuff but I didn’t wait to find out. No sir, I left the bourbon and hoofed it out of there. Only one thought on my mind - WW freaking owes me.

Till next time, don’t go walking in a graveyard where meta-humans are buried.

Cisco, out (Almost for good that time)!

These have been pretty entertaining...

http://chroniclesofcisco.tumblr.com/

Those got me thinking, an episode centered on Cisco and Caitlin managing the pipeline metahumans would be great.

 

[Breogan]

I thought they'd just explain Cisco's powers as his own, a delayed effect of the accelerator explosion, but...

On CBR a poster Robotman, points out: Barry used some of his Speed Force power to jump start Cisco's heart. Maybe he also imparted some of his ability of activated a meta gene. In Trinity War we learned that Vibe can actually use his dimensional powers to disconnect The Flash from the Speed Force. So there is a connection. - Maybe Barry's actions also increased [Cisco's] meta powers.

Having Barry jump-start him with his energy, will probably be referenced as a trigger point as the other dimensions/time-lines open up to Cisco.
Especially the time-lines being generated by the speedsters jumping through time.

Also the gravity of this , realizing that time jumping doesn't or can't actually "fix" anything, just creates new realities/time-lines.
The futility and realization of this might be overwhelming. I hope Cisco [and Barry] can handle it.

Chapter Six

Bees. Crazy, killer, robotic bees. I think Brie Larvan aka the Bug-Eyed Bandit created those evil suckers just to mess with me. Pretty cool tech, though. After her arrest, I was specifically told not to try and reprogram her bees. So I didn’t… Okay, of course I did, but only two! And Ray took a bee-bot for R&D on his suit so I feel totally justified. May I present, Bumble and The Destroyer. Brie Larvan’s technical design, my programming. They fly, they spy and they definitely DO NOT sting.

First job for my bees… learn to play the guitar. I could program Bumble to work the neck of the guitar and The Destroyer to strum the strings. Can you imagine robotic bees playing Hotel California?! It would create quite a buzz (terrible, terrible Felicity-level pun.) But maybe I should use my minions for something more practical. I do need help in the pipeline. The Mist is a real pain in the ass to feed - I’ve even had to stop giving him his gummy vitamins.

Hmmm… Idea!
Be right back.
OH NO!!!

The Mist (Kyle frackin’ Nimbus) killed my bee. Jerk. The Destroyer was bringing The Mist a gummy vitamin I attached to his belly. I know. FREAKING ADORABLE, right? I guess Nimbus didn’t see it that way. See, each of my little guys is equipped with microscopic cameras so I watched as Nimbus looked up and reached for The Destroyer. I thought he wanted the gummy but no! He had that same sick smile as when he had me squirming on his cell floor. Abort Mission! I tried to fly The Destroyer out through the ventilation but Nimbus was too quick. Last thing I saw was a mist-Tsunami bashing The Destroyer into the glass. When I got to Nimbus’ cell, the Destroyer was on the ground, still buzzing faintly. I put on my gas mask quickly and told Nimbus to stand back - I could save the bee-bot! But then Nimbus walked calmly over to my little buddy and stomped him. More than once I’m sure but I couldn’t bear to watch. I DID NOT CRY. I just…. I don’t know, The Destroyer had so much potential. I was supposed to protect him and then some bully meta-human just curb stomped him. Crap, what am I going to tell Bumble? I know, I know. I can hear Caitlin now, “Cisco, these are robots, they don’t have feelings, calm down.” But they were my robots and they could have become sentient.

I guess having friendly robotic bees isn’t the key to Meta healthcare. RIP The Destroyer, you are joining the S.T.A.R. lab teddy bears in the annex of “Awesome and adorable things that just didn’t work out.” It’s a big annex.

Cisco, OUT. And like Journey said, Don’t stop BEELIEVING…

Cisco is essentially the unofficial Godfather of the CW-DC Universe.

1. He created Flash's Suit.

2. He created both Captain Cold's and his sister's Guns.

3. He also recreated Heatwave's gun.

4. He modified/redesigned Oliver's Arrow outfit.

5. He recently created Laurel's Canary Cry.

6. He helped Ray Palmer adjust/fix his Atom Suit.

7. He, alongside Dr. Wells, created the device that allowed Ronnie and Dr. Stein to stabilize the Firestorm persona.

8. He created the Weather Wizard's Wand.

 

[ThePreface]

At this point I'm wondering when Cisco will start dev'ing toys for himself. Get greedy with it bruh. You'll be Vibe sooner or later. Keep the good ish for yourself.

Chapter Seven

Things are getting kinda gross around here lately. How gross? A Raisinet corpse and then a dude with a soft-boiled egg for a face gross. Oh, and that corpse, yeah that just IS THE REAL HARRISON WELLS. It’s not I don’t know…normal? Is normal a word I can use anymore? Probz not. But it’s not normal! Even for me. Think happy thoughts, Cisco. You met the Black Canary and she was just as badass as you always dreamed she would be. You can’t tell anyone, but what else is new? Okay so here is why I’m freaking out - besides the obviousness of my daily stresses - it’s the new guy, Everyman. The shapeshifter is uh… he’s really messing with my head. I’ve been extra careful not to touch him because I DO NOT want to be staring at an evil doppelganger. Barry gave me the list of everyone Hannibal Bates (that’s his real name…. no joke) touched. And I was ready for Bate’s version of Iris or Eddie but the dude did not play fair. So I had to bring in reinforcements.

Pipeline, meet Dante. Dante meet Pipeline. I briefed my older brother as much as I could about the Everydude. Dante responded with just about how everyone else outside of S.T.A.R. labs does when I start talking shop. He zoned out. Welp, he can see for himself. I know it’s not part of the rules, but screw it. I need help here, people.

I called up Everyman’s cell and there he was… just sitting. With the head of Barry and the body of Bates’ grandma. Heels and all. Then he switched again. Head of Iris, body of Eddie. Honestly, if it weren’t so freaky it would be hilarious. “This is what you’re so stressed about, little bro?” Dante said, half-breathing between laughs. Yes! We came up with a plan. If Hannibal remembered who he really was, maybe then he’d stop treating my friends’ bodies and heads like the revolving wardrobe from Clueless.

That afternoon, Dante and I went to Grandma Bates’ house. We grabbed all of Hannibal’s childhood photos and a few odd knickknacks that might spark a memory. Dante downed a few of those candies all grandmas have then we were ready to go. We just had to wait for Hannibal’s rec time then we could do the real work. We set up his cell like a bedroom. Or we tried to with all the items we had. Shocker, Dante is actually an awesome interior decorator. The place looked good. I thought the plan might really work.

But then, Hannibal returned. He was pissed. Screaming and crying that he wanted everything returned to the way it was. He closed his egghead eyes before he could even see the photos. I don’t understand. Dante said some people want to forget who they really are. Who would prefer to mess around with the identities of others and be a blank and mad creepy blob instead of the normal looking dude from his pictures? I guess I can’t help everyone. Metas trying to kill me I can deal with but this existential sadness and pain is not my forte.

Until we meet again. LOVE YOURSELF. Whoever you are.

Cisco, out.

Chapter Eight

Dang, it is so refreshing to hang with a fellow ripped nerd like myself. My buddy Ray Palmer (aka Starling City’s superhero the A.T.O.M.) visited to drop off another terrifying metahuman. I convinced him to stay a few hours and see what my job is really like. Besties style. I figured he could at least help me feed the new meta, shouldn’t be that hard, right? Yeah, right.

Technically speaking, Jake Simmons is different from the other metahumans in our pipeline, his powers did not come from the particle accelerator blast and oh yeah HE SHOOTS PLASMA FROM HIS EYES. Honestly, this is one of the few times that I can safely say I am straight up stumped. I thought our little PA blast and the Dark Matter it spread was responsible for every metahuman. Maybe the dude’s an alien or from another dimension! (I should be so lucky.) One thing is for sure, Jake Simmons is hardcore. Ray named him Deathbolt. Yeah… Deathfreakingbolt. Let’s just say I doubt he will get an invite to Cinema Cisco or Cisco Disco, once that finally happens.

So what is Deathbolt down to eat? I made Ray find out. For someone so obviously born to be a superhero, the dude gets extremely nerdy around villains. Halfway through figuring out Deathbolt’s list of allergies, Ray couldn’t help himself. The dude geeked out and asked too many questions. “What was your relationship with your father like? How often do you need to juice up with electricity? Is robbing banks really a stable career choice?” Deathbolt screamed “enough” and went in for the plasma punch. Good thing I equipped his cells with an electromagnetic field that breaks down the molecular bonds of plasma into a liquid. I don’t know who was more surprised by the watery punch, Ray or Deathbolt. I quickly grabbed the beautiful, genius, fool from the cell and told him to watch and learn as I resumed Deathbolt’s interrogation. See notes below.

Name: Jake Simmons

Origin: Who the hell knows

Alias: Deathbolt

Powers: Plasma eyes, plasma punches

Allergies: Lobster and Idiots.

Likes: Energy, light, Depeche Mode, killing Idiots.

Dislikes: All of you idiots. (I think he’s talking about me?)

The subject then continued to call me an idiot for the next five minutes. We will see how he responds to Pizza. Everyone loves pizza.

Allergies (amended): Lobster, Idiots, and Central City Pizza.

Joke’s on Deathbolt, more pizza for me and Ray.

Until next time (if I’m not plasma’d)

Cisco and the A.T.O.M, Out!

Chapter Nine

Disco never died. Well at least Cisco Disco never did. It all started on a rainy Tuesday night after band practice while I was in between studying for my AP Calc and AP Chemistry finals. Yeah, I’m a nerd, I get it, moving on. So I’m real stressed out, like on the verge of running away, shaving my head, and getting loads of tattoos (JK I’m not down for needles) when the radio station started bouncing some serious disco. I heard the beautiful high-pitched call of Barry Gibbs and did exactly what the dude told me to do - I danced. I boogied until my legs were so sore that I had to crawl to bed. The next morning in Calc, I rocked my test so hard all the while humming “You Should Be Dancing.” Why this story? Let me explain.

This week was a bad one, dudes. The most stressful week of my entire life. Harrison Wells is on the run, Eddie is missing and I almost got Jurassic Parked by a super-intelligent, telepathic gorilla. So basically, everything sucks down here in the Pipeline. I know what you’re asking yourselves - could Donna Summers or the Bee Gees handle this kind of stress? Could Cisco Disco live on? Well, the answer to that is sorta…

Now, I know a meta-human disco is damn near impossible. Imagine this: Weather Wizard making eyes at Shawna from across a foggy room. Nah, man. Also, The Mist would probably be that fog, trying to kill everyone. Hard pass. But I could equip every cell with its own disco ball, turn down the lights, and turn up the KC and the Sunshine Band. “That’s the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it.” Too bad no one wanted to dance. Especially not Shawna. I showed her my signature move through the glass and she gave me the finger. Whatever, haters. It’s not like I’m going home alone to dance by myself.

That’s exactly what I did. Blasted my girl Gloria Gaynor singing “Well, now go! Walk out the door! Just turn around now, cause you’re not welcome anymore. Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and—“ DING DONG.
I opened the door. It was Barry and Caitlin. He was holding a large pizza and she clung to a six-pack of beers. Both were staring at me mouth open – could have been the John Travolta white disco suit I was rockin’. Caitlin said something but I couldn’t hear her over the music. Barry did his speed thing and suddenly the music was at normal levels. “What was that Caitlin,” I asked – expecting her to make fun of me. She said, “You want to dance. Cause I can dance.” It was on, a Cisco Disco dance party with my best friends. Sister Sledge said it best, “We are family. Get up everybody and sing.”

The next morning, I was still stressed and everything still sucked, but at least I got some super buds to boogie oogie oogie with now. Things could be worse…

Until next time.

Cisco, OUT!

Chapter Ten

Everyone in the pipeline is gone. The Weather Wizard, the Mist, Rainbow Raider, Deathbolt (RIP) and my beloved Peekaboo. (Actually, not so beloved. Turns out Shawna Baez is mean.) I needed a freaking drink or a whole chocolate cake. I decided on both because…well I’m an adult! I brought a bottle of Rebel Yell and sat in WW’s cell for a while trying to imagine what it must have been like for my super-powered super angry metahuman prisoners. Sure, I tried to make things dare I say fun for them but did I do enough? Could I have done more? Another swig or two later and about halfway through my cake, I decided to read over my previous entries for the first time.

Before I knew it, the bottle was empty, rolling around my feet and I may or may not have been reading aloud in my best Shakespearean accent, my face covered in frosting. Wait, when did I take my shoes off? Focus Cisco. I had some damn good times down here. Remember Cinema Cisco? Bumble and the Destroyer? What about that time Bivolo and I really bonded and he painted my portrait? Sure, I’ve almost died (been murdered) like a million times but hey, I’m still kicking. We thought we could rehabilitate the metas, when that failed, we thought we could at least save their lives by moving them out of the pipeline. But maybe this whole operation was doomed from the start. I guess without any prisoners, these chronicles are coming to a close. I will leave you with the following observations.

- Don’t go after the bad girl (or boy.) It ain’t worth it. Shawna was kinda a jerk after all. Caitlin warned me and as always, Caitlin was right. I thought Shawna was cool and misunderstood. Like a bully in a 80s movie that just needs a buddy or someone to believe in them. Then she tried killing Caitlin and bounced without a second glance. I gave you my mom’s enchiladas, woman! Go on, find Clay – I’m sure he’s going to treat you right.

- The key to metahuman happiness is Tina Fey. I eventually screened the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for the Pipeline and then some Tina heavy episodes of Saturday Night Live and they literally did not try to kill me for like… two days. Bivolo kept trying to act out different skits with me, though. That got old real quick.

- Not all Gorillas like bananas. In fact, they get very angry at the sight of them. DO NOT try to give a telepathic gorilla a banana.

- Trust no Snarts. No matter how cute they are. I’m talking about you Captain Cold. With your steel blue eyes. You stabbed us in the back, and then yes you saved Barry’s life, but still we are NOT EVEN. (Say hi to your sis.)

Well it’s been fun documenting the best year of my life. I hope you enjoyed the chronicles as much as I loved writing them.

Cisco, Out!

And there it is!

Cisco was affected by the particle accelerator explosion. ...he can potentially vibrate between alternate timelines.

According to Wells/Thawne - "A grand adventure" awaits him.

And this is the part where I finally go and look up everything on Vibe because I know nothing about him

You don't need "everything".
Just don't go to far back, if you see the name Paco Ramon, you went way to far.
Just start with new 52 Cisco Ramon Vibe..

Do you think they'll ever have Cisco cut his hair?

I hope not, because I'm convinced that he's not just Vibe but also Apache Chief.

Cisco looks the part, other than his height, and they got a big guy to play Atom, who in this version is also Blue Beetle, so casting a little guy to be a giant in one of his two secret identities isn't completely absurd.

I think Cisco would insist on calling "Eh-neeek-chock!", much to his friends' chagrin.
