Who: Cisco, Barry, Iris, open to Caitlin What: Barry's return! When: January 15th Where: Outside Jitters Rating/Warnings: TBD
Barry had been freaked when he excused himself on New Years' Eve. And he hadn't come back. There was no sign of him or his comm. Just... nothing. That had been over two weeks ago and Cisco was still beating himself up. Wells was beyond pissed that they'd lost Bary, and Cisco didn't blame him. He was angry with himself too. He'd gotten awfully attached to the hero. And it wasn't like he had friends coming out of the wazoo. Certainly not friends that actually understood mos tof the things that he talked about.
So Cisco just kept revisiting anywhere that Barry had ever gone, and he kept returning to Jitters. There had to be something, didn't there? Something more than the red and yellow blurs that were captured in one frozen moment on a street security cam. This had to be about that second speedster, didn't it?
Which... didn't sit well with him at all. The team hadn't done too well in the last round with the Reverse Flash, and they'd had a whole police team backing them up. How was Barry supposed to take the guy on all on his own?
Tonight, Cisco returned to the scene of the disappearance yet again. He walked all the familiar steps and looked for any sign of his friend. He knew that insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, but he also knew that a fresh perspective could change everything. It was just a matter of looking until you found something or had that lightbulb moment. And he wouldn't give up. He'd keep looking as long as it took.
