[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.]

Comments

[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?

[goodviberations]

Both. About a dozen people died that night, but way more than that became metahumans.

[commanderspecs]

[He lets that sink in]

I'm so sorry.

[He genuinely means it as well.]

[goodviberations]

[He shakes his head.]

A lot of people lost more than me that night.

[commanderspecs]

It still couldn't have been easy.

[The sparks start to die down a little]

For you or anyone that's lost someone that night.

[goodviberations]

No, it wasn't. But we've all had to find ways to move on from it.

[commanderspecs]

[He nods]

I take it all this isn't part of that incident?

[goodviberations]

No. No, this is something else.

[commanderspecs]

[Barry huffs a sigh and takes off his glasses, pinching at the bridge of his nose]

Timing couldn't be more perfect, actually.

[goodviberations]

How's that?
