[How does this happen. How. How. Barry moves out of the way when he sees a stampede of...vikings?! He's standing out on a sidewalk somewhere downtown, not seeing a familiar sight anywhere. At least not like how it is back home. He sends out the all video signal]

Just what the heck is going on here?! Who's Gideon? Where am I?!

[He's hyperventilating or close enough to it, not amused at what is going on, and tries to make sense of it all.]

[You're darn right he'll have a full blown panic attack if they're not careful. Sparks start to run more and more frequently, the more he freaks out. Barry looks at the man and tries to take deep breaths as instructed]

[goodviberations]

[The sparks bring a mild, uncomfortable shock, and Cisco is forced to let go of Barry's shoulders.]

You're doing great, man. Just keep it slow.

[commanderspecs]

S-sorry!

[He tries to take deep breaths like the man instructed, audibly breathing in and breathing out]

[goodviberations]

There you go, man. You're doing great.

[commanderspecs]

[He's focusing on Cisco and trying to breathe but it's all a lot to sink in.]

So where--where-where-where are we?

[goodviberations]

We're in LA. Sort of. There's a group of heroes called the Legends. They accidentally broke time.

[commanderspecs]

Yes, I got that from Gideon's little message. But where are we in this broken version of LA?

[goodviberations]

Downtown. The apartment building most of us are staying in isn't too far if you need somewhere to stay.

[commanderspecs]

I suppose I will if I'm staying here for a little bit.

[Guess who doesn't seem happy about that?]

[goodviberations]

Yeah, we haven't exactly figured out a way home, so you're stuck here. At least for now.

I can show you around the apartments.

[commanderspecs]

That would be...greatly appreciated.

[goodviberations]

Come on. Once we get you settled, we can work on figuring out your powers and getting them under control.

[He'd done it with Mick, he can definitely help Barry-2. Especially since he's more familiar with the skillset.]

[commanderspecs]

Have there been a lot of metas that have become this way when they get here? What about those guys?

[He points in a random direction]

[goodviberations]

I only know about you and one other person, but it's possible.

[A snort at the question.]

I don't think so, man. There are people from all sorts of different times and places here. Most of them aren't metas.

[commanderspecs]

[He's trying really hard to calm down.]

I think it would be best for me to go sit down.

[goodviberations]

Why don't we get you to the apartments, alright? Then you can take all the time you need.

[commanderspecs]

[That has him breathing a little bit easier]

Thank you.

[goodviberations]

[Cisco walks them back to the apartments, deciding that breaching him there will probably just scare him more.]

[commanderspecs]

[He's trying to get everything together]

Has anyone been able to get home yet? To their prospective worlds and Earths?

[goodviberations]

A few people have disappeared, so, maybe?

I don't know for sure.

[commanderspecs]

Are there more of your colleagues here?

[He is looking around to see if he recognizes anything. Nothing yet.]

[goodviberations]

Yeah. My best friends are here with me.

[He honestly doesn't know if he could handle this place without them.]

[commanderspecs]

Best friends. That's...that's good.

[He's barely handling a place like this. Barry stays close to Cisco as they make their way through.]

I take it metas are more commonplace there?

[goodviberations]

After the particle accelerator explosion, yeah. Kind of a fact of life.

[commanderspecs]

Particle Acc--were people hurt? Or did they just turn into metahumans?
