Multiverse Part 1: Flash Fire

Chapter 1: Cisco's Situation

Cisco Ramon had seen some weird things. He had seen himself open portals to other worlds. He had seen people run faster than the speed of sound. He had seen someone pretend to be someone else and get away with it for a full year. He had seen aliens, wormholes, and a place with nothing but lightning in it. But he had never seen a random stranger appear at his coffee table. Cisco had just gotten his coffee from Jitters and was walking back to his table when he saw someone else sitting in the seat across from his- a teenager, who was apparently sleeping. How did Cisco know he was sleeping? Because he could hear the teenager snoring. But when Cisco had gone into the line to get his coffee, no one had been sitting at his table besides, well, himself. This teenager hadn't been there a minute ago. No one else seemed to notice the sleeping teenager, though, since no one took a second look at him. But Cisco did. He walked over to the kid and shook his shoulder, saying "Hey." The kid continued sleeping, so Cisco snapped his fingers in front of the kid's eyes and said "Hey!" The kid woke up with a start and loudly said "Yowza! Jeez, man, don't do that! You almost scared me straight out of my tool belt!" Cisco studied the kid. He looked around 15 years old. He was also skinny, with brown eyes, curly hair, a cheerful face, and Cisco had a feeling that told him the kid had a mischievous smile. The kid had on a white, short-sleeved shirt, with red overalls, a big tool belt, dark green shorts, and black sneakers. "Who are you? What's your name?" Cisco asked. The kid blinked, as if processing the words, and then replied "I'm Leo. Leo Valdez." Cisco said "Well, Leo, you weren't sitting at my table a minute ago." "Table?" Leo said. Then he looked down, up, and everywhere. When he finished, he looked back at Cisco and said "Um, what's your name?" "Cisco. Cisco Ramon." said Cisco. Leo said "Um, I have a question." Cisco replied "What?" Leo looked around again and looked back at Cisco, then he asked "Where in Zeus's name am I?" 

After a very long discussion, with a lot of questions and not too many answers, Cisco took Leo to S.T.A.R Labs to meet with the rest of Team Flash. They found the rest of Team Flash in the cortex room, and Cisco introduced everyone to Leo. "Whoa, this is so cool!" Leo said, "I never thought I would get to meet The Flash and Kid Flash in person!" Barry, a.k.a The Flash, smiled and said "Well, Leo, I don't think we can help you until we deal with our... other problem." The mood seemed to go from normal to dark after Barry said that. Leo stopped freaking out and asked "Whoa whoa whoa. What's this 'other problem'?" "Just the self-proclaimed 'god of speed' who wears a giant suit of armor and is trying to make us all miserable and hopeless, along with essentially trying to kill us." replied Cisco. Leo said "Oh..." Then, he suddenly said "Hey, if I help you guys stop this 'god of speed', can you help me get back to my world?" Wally, a.k.a Kid Flash, said "Seems like a fair trade to me." Then, Barry, along with the rest of Team Flash, explained the situation to Leo, and at the end Leo rolled his eyes. "So basically your average Day Of Doom premonition. I've had experience with those before, believe me." "What do you mean?" asked Iris. Leo raised his hand in a "stop" motion and said "Trust me, you don't wanna know." "OK, then..." Iris replied, sounding confused but still not asking more questions. "So," Leo said, clasping his hands together, "what can I do to help?" Cisco had already found out about Leo's abilities from Leo himself, so Cisco got an idea. "I think I've got something," he said while shuffling through storage drawers, "that can help you travel fast." He eventually found the device he was looking for, and he picked it up out of the storage drawer he found it in. Once he was sure it was what he was looking for, he smiled widely.
