You're doubting my ability to be horrible on the fly, Cisco? I don't think criminals in any dimension get to PICK their death penalty method.

[Which isn't technically a no.]

Never. You have natural talent for being a dick, but I also know you're a PLANNER. Actually I take that back. You're a plotter. It's even worse.

I don't think there's a ton of variety in death by animal when you break down the logistics. A guy couldn't say "I choose to get fed to sloths" right? If he killed someone, would they let the victim's family pick?

Thanks.

[Ohhh Jesse is definitely hearing about this one.]

Herbivores aren't on the list.

[ see attachment. ]

Okay, but you're not telling me my evil doppelganger could've picked death by doge.

Well no, not after Zoom took over. But I wouldn't turn my back on that, would you? It looks like it's waiting to turn on you.

[ Well, Harry definitely just made him laugh. This is an unprecedented and never intentional result. Cisco is confused, and mostly incredibly suspicious. Is this how dogs feel when they're excited to go on car rides and then they drive straight past the dog park?

Pod person. Impersonator. Distracting him while he throws his stuff around. Bleeding to death? ]

what are you doing, harry

I'm winning. Where are you? Is Jesse with you?

[Shockingly, having his daughter back has, occasionally, made Harrison Wells into an actual person and not just a person-shaped snark-machine. There's bound to be an adjustment period.]

[ No amount of Twilight Zone could have prepared him for this. But that's mostly because Cisco never thought to prepare for the prospect. He just went in for that "trading barbs and being dicks to each other" vibe, with an oddly reassuring daily spike of "same face, definitely a different man."

Barbed wire without the kidnapped daughter time-crunch barbs, though. Huh. ]

On the same planet and she's around.

You're without shame or moral rightness. The coldhearted snake my girl Paula always warned me about.

[ How can he live in a world where death by doge was dangled in front of him and cruelly taken away... these are truly the hardest years of life. ]

[Don't worry Cisco, this kind of thing can't happen too often. They'd all get too used to it and he wouldn't want that, how would the Wells family tell baldfaced lies about Earth-2 with straight faces if everyone knew?]

Uh huh. Tell her I'm ahead by two now. Don't be so gullible, McFly. Fake Wells had better taste in music, huh?

It must be so easy to make up stuff I can't google.

And yeah, big time. If he wasn't lying about it. Seems like one of those things that'd be too frivolous to fake for too long, though.

It can't just be anything, they need to be plausible. Part of the persona. Trying to guess whether he meant it or not will only give you headaches.

[ He doesn't reply right away. Trying to guess is a road to headache city and dead ends.

But that road is tangled up with a lot of smaller roads that make him ask himself complicated questions. Like sure, everything being part of the Talented Mr. Ripley act would make several mental boxes objectively easier to compartmentalize. How much does he want objectively-easier-theory, though? How much of him still wants to hope that the things that seemed to matter really mattered, even knowing what they do about the old Wells? Does that say something about him?

Cisco doesn't wanna make that mental trip his whole deal when he could just ignore it and go off-grid. Text message style. ]

Its a big multiverse, Harry. I could vibe a world where doge is judge/jury/executioner tomorrow.

btw should I be like prioritizing meme education for you or was not recognizing the dog part of the act? Followup: are Barry and Caitlin victims of this ring of trickery too?

You should. I could use a vacation, that sounds entertaining enough. 1) No, I'm well-acquainted with meme culture, I have a teenage daughter. 2) You realize by telling you this, we're allowing you into the inner circle. Are you sure you're ready for that?

[Better to keep things light. Harrison knows, or he can guess, how deep the hurt still runs, right alongside wondering how much of Thawne's mentoring had been real. Certainly he couldn't have done what he did without the help of loyal coworkers and even friends, but had he truly been cold enough to front everything he'd felt? Harrison knows he couldn't have done it. Even in just this amount of time, he feels a connection to everyone in Earth-1, and it's been less than a year.]
