Who: Cisco and Savitar
What: A much-needed conversation
Where: The park
Cisco has been thinking about it for days. Mick had mentioned- off-hand in that way of his when he doesn't realize what he's saying is a bombshell- that Caitlin had patched up a speedster. One with scars.
It had taken a couple hours just to even process it. Savitar. Here. After everything he and Team Flash had done to stop the guy, he was still here. Still in their lives. For a day after that, he was angry. Furious, even. He'd threatened Cisco's friends; threatened everything that mattered to him. But the more he thought about it- really thought about it- the more the anger faded. He wasn't ready to forgive him for what he'd done, but he was level-headed enough to remember Savitar's motivations. The loneliness. The solitude. Freezing him out could start the whole process all over again. And that? Cisco isn't willing to risk it.
So after another day of psyching himself up, Cisco reaches out. He can't bring himself to video chat, so he sends him a text instead.
Savitar, I think we should talk. I'll be at the park this afternoon.
And then he spends about ten minutes panicking. What if the speedster decides to murder him? But he shoves that thought away. He needs to do this. For himself, if no other reason.
So he makes his way to the park, planting himself on a free bench to wait.

A man he didn't even want to be anymore. A man he took great pains to avoid being.
But...he was pretty sure if he didn't respond, somehow either Kara or Bart would find out about it, and then he'd have to deal with having somehow upset the former or having to listen to the latter never shut up about it.
So. Slowly, he made his way to the park. Shooting off a text on his way.
Fine.
Eventually, he gets there. He finds Cisco, and stares him down. Unless he's got a dagger hidden in that cast and arm brace get up, Cisco, he's probably not going to kill you.
no subject
But he can't help thinking of Mick and Snart. Hadn't they done the same? Terrorized Team Flash, nearly killed several people close to him. They'd turned over new leaves, and Cisco trusted them. Mostly. If Savitar had any desire to move forward, then Cisco owed it to himself to give him the chance.
It still doesn't stop the instinctual thrill of fear when the speedster is standing in front of him. He didn't run in, which is interesting, but he'll think about that later. He's more hung up on the cast covering his arm.
"How is your arm still broken?" he asks, which maybe isn't the most tactful thing in the world, but hey. This is Cisco.

"How is it still broken?" He snorted. "What do you care?"
no subject
"Sorry, I just thought your healing would have kicked in. Mick told me what happened." Though not, apparently, that he isn't fully powered.
no subject
"Yeah. Well. It hasn't." But more to the point. "You said we needed to talk. Why?"
no subject
"Because we're both trapped here. It may be a big city, but with the merging timelines, we're bound to run into each other. I thought maybe we should make that as painless as possible."
no subject
"And how do you see that working, exactly?"

A wince. Maybe not the best expression.
