Why had he insisted on leaving Barry? Why did he think he could handle the dark on his own? He had so many regrets of that decision. He'd found Tony, one minute he was behind him and the next he wasn't. It was a living nightmare. He couldn't see his friend in any direction he looked. Now he understood the look on his face when he found him initially, he was pretty sure his face was mimicking that of the older man's. The color had long since drained from his face, he was unable to think clearly. It was like the darkness was closing in on him, and this time it was his back against a thick wall of corn. He was never gonna eat corn again or look at it the same.

He'd lost track of how many days it'd been in the darkness. He was starting to get hungry though, he only had licorice on his person. It didn't actually fill him up. He was starting to slow down. Where was Caitlin? She'd gone in with him too. What if he'd gotten her killed? He ran a hand on his face in exhaustion and wiped away some sweat, it smeared blood from the little cut there but that was the least of his problems. The power in his glasses was flickering from time to time, but they were his vision. His connection to the world just then. Without them he'd be at even more of a disadvantage.

Cisco had to stop, kneel down in the dark and wrap an arm around his stomach. He'd never refuse to eat again after this was over. This was what real hunger pain was like. His vision blurred behind those glasses for a moment, and when it straightened out again there was a figure standing in front of him. A man with a familiar face. It looked like Harrison Wells but spoke like Thawne. Cisco shook his head trying to clear it. "...Wells?...Thawne?" A confused correction as he stared upward in shock. What the hell was Wells doing there? "You're incredibly clever Cisco. I've always said so." He felt his blood run cold. This couldn't be happening. Thawne, still looking like his old mentor reached a hand out to help him up. Cisco hesitated and took it to stand. Uncomfortably close. Cisco couldn't find words. Thawne spoke instead. "You're smart, Cisco. Do you know how hard it has been to keep all of this from you, especially from you? Because the truth is, I've grown quite fond of you. And in many ways, you have shown me what it's like to have a son. Forgive me, but to me, you've been dead for centuries." With those words, Cisco felt something penetrate his chest.

It wasn't what he thought. It wasn't the vibrating hand, and it was like the figure of Thawne had melted away. Something sharp had pierced his skin. Cisco could only stare, his own hand reaching out to blast the figure in front of him he instead caused a ripple effect. Blood started to spill from the figure's nose in front of him, and then his ears. A steady blue blinding glow wrapped around the figure as if it were suffocating it.

Harley had been in the maze for a few hours. She hadn't run into anyone or anything, but at least she found a flashlight that someone had dropped. The lense was cracked, but the light still worked, which was good since she kind of needed the light.

A bright blue light caught her attention and she followed it until she finally reached the source of it. Well, whatever was going on, she missed the fun parts of it. She stood behind Cisco and wondered how long he was going to keep up with the light show.

"I think he's dead," she finally said after a minute.

That light slowly flickered and died once the presence of the other was made known and Cisco turned to look in it's direction as though he were on autopilot. For half a second his hand was outstretched toward her too, apparently the maze had been fucking with him a bit. He was clearly on edge. His eyes behind the dark shades he wore narrowed as that blue glow engulfed his hand again. When it lit up the area around them, the pressure around Harley was different. Like it was zapping all the breathable air around her for a second. He didn't realize she was a friend, or at least not serial killing vision just yet. The air around them hung heavy like it was attempting to suffocate them.

Speaking alone wasn't going to do it apparently. Cisco wasn't sure if she was real or an illusion. "His fault." The engineer responded with a faint shrug. Shouldn't have toyed with his feelings. Shouldn't have done a lot of things though. He clearly wasn't in the right mind state at all.

Well, this didn't look good. Harley looked at Cisco's and then up at his face. If she had to hurt him, she would. Especially if he decided that she was some monster that needed to be taken out.

Before she could say anything else the air around her started to change, feel thinner and it was getting harder to breathe. "Stop..."

She wasn't going to die in some stupid corn maze. Nope. She needed to find a way to make him stop doing what he was doing. "So choke him...not me..."

Talking didn't seem to snap him out of his trance. She needed to think fast. If she had her bat with her, she'd just whack him upside the head with it. Instead, all she had was a flashlight...which actually could work.

It was getting harder to breathe and she was sinking down to the ground. Hitting Cisco in the head wasn't going to work. She had to aim somewhere else. She glanced up at Cico one last time before slamming the tailend of the flashlight into Cisco's groin. That should snap him out of any daze. She hoped.

Cisco was in a daze, that hallucination had done something to him. He didn't realize Harley was even there. It seemed like he might for a second but he was already bleeding from where the fist had stabbed him.

That..definitely worked. The veil of pressure lifted and Cisco grimaced as he was forced to kneel down himself this time. "What the hell?" Where was he? Oh, right. The stupid maze. Only in front of him once his vision cleared, was Harley instead of Wells.

"You're not Wells." Jesus that stung.

	Well, that move seemed to have worked. Harley was able to breathe again and Cisco was now down on the ground just like she was. "Of coruse I'm not!" She rolled her eyes and then asked, "Who's Wells?" Was that who she saw him killing? Then again she couldn't see much other than whoever it was looked kind of dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yep, that worked. He finally seemed to catch up to the world after a minute of regaining his bearings. "Someone I used to care about." Considered a father really, but he couldn't say those words. That groin attack wasn't the only problem he was dealing with just then. As he sat on his knees and touched his chest in an attempt to breathe properly, he noticed a sticky redness on his hands. Blood. His jacket had been cut through, kevlar was usually the strongest material. Apparently Wells had taken that into account. "Shit." He unzipped that jacket, looking down at the injury, it was deep. He could feel it. The blood flow spoke for itself.

"You have a funny way of showin someone how you care about them." If the thing he was killing was this Wells guy, she'd hate to find out what Cisco could really do against someone he really hated.

She sat on the ground still, watching Cisco. Her eyes followed his. She couldn't make it out very well, but that's when she grabbed the flashlight and pointed it at Cisco's torso. "You're leakin'." She wondered how long he had that injury for. "Come on, we should go. We wouldn't want ya to die here, now would we?" She got up and then looked down at Cisco, wondering if he'd get up too.

"Used to. He betrayed us." He deserved it. Honesty if Cisco ever got a chance to really do it in real life he probably would. But Thawne-Wells slipped through their fingers so often..he frowned over at the corpse of the guy he used to consider a mentor. "..Taught me too well." Thawne knew his powers would be a curse, and looking at the body of that figure he was starting to think the man wasn't wrong.

But then he was quickly distracted by the pain in his ribs that was that tab wound. His shirt was ruined with blood. "I liked this shirt." He was getting a little woozy already. He'd probably had it for quite a while. "Duno, might be better" A little smirk in the corner of his lips a bit of blood touched them. Internal injuries were so fun. He began to push himself up, but stumbled again.

	"He taught you how to do what you just did?" She was curious. Plus it wasn't like he was holding back, so why not ask him questions. She reached down and helped him up. "There's no time for that. Something else could be coming this way." She really wished she had one of her weapons right about now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Told me I could, his mistake." He would take the help, standing without it would be bad and probably end with him back on the dirt. He was tired. Questions were good. Questions meant he had to keep thinking and stay awake the best he could anyway.

"No more." He flinched at the idea of more things coming. His friends could heal, he probably should have stayed with them but they'd lost eachother. Frankly he wasn't surprised. He lost everyone in the maze. He went in to help them and nearly ended up dead. Some help he'd been.

	"I don't think we have a choice!" They were brought into the maze for a reason and she didn't think it was for a picnic with puppies and kitties. "How you doin' over there?" she asked as they kept walking through the maze. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hn?" He was fading quickly, that injury wasn't looking so good. All he wanted to do was curl up somewhere and go to sleep, in that moment he didn't care if they were in a maze or not. "M'fine." He tried to focus, but found that standing was damn near impossible, never mind talking anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harley glanced at him. It was pretty dark, except for the beam of light that came from her flashlight. "You better not faint on me." She wasn't sure if she would leave him or drag him along even if he did pass out. She was probably about to find out. (Reply to this) (Parent)
