So this is Cisco… Well I was born by the name Francisco Ramon… but don't breathe that to another soul, or I might have to go all samarai on your ass… No, not really… but, still don't tell people that!

I decided to write this journal as… well, I am going to need something to show my grandkids about my time in… where ever the heIl I am, some sort of pocket dimension, I think… very science fiction, I know!

I guess it all started when I woke up at 6am back in my bed in Central City… I got dressed, had my break… well you don't need to know all the minor details… so fast forward… to me sitting at my computer at work and you would not believe what happened! You would never guess who walked in… My doppleganger… and he was as you would imagine… pure evil!

The resemblance was uncanny! But anyway, that bastardo double-crossed me. He said that I could trust him and then whammied me! They say that mirrors are the key to alternate dimensions… well that was pretty much it… The guy, who was more or less my reflection with a samarai ninja meets the matrix appearance and a very evil demeanor, created a portal to this alternate world and suckered me to go through.

Then if that wasn't bad enough, he closed it behind me… So yep I'm stuck here! But it isn't all bad… I met some pretty cool people. Sure enough they think my name is Paco… aka their leader… aka the evil me… aka Francisco Ramon… But that's beside the point. But I seriously just want to go home. So I guess I'll start from the moment that the portal closed behind me…

"You double-crossing… slimey… evil me!" I shouted at that bastardo. I guess I knew that he couldn't hear me, but it helped to release my anger.

"Hey, Paco! My hombre! We have been looking for you everywhere!" I heard the voice, before I saw who was speaking. I actually didn't realize that they were talking to me until the guy who had called out called me Francisco. Yeah... that got my attention! He was standing right behind me. Him and two of his friends.

I must have looked at them pretty strangely as the one who had called out to me must have thought I had amnesia or something. "Man, you been hanging with that bad ass hombre Thawne again. I told you that he would do something to your head. It's me, Reyes!"

"Um, sure… I'm sorry, Reyes? Thawne was it? Eddie Thawne?" This was it! And Barry and Astrid didn't believe me when I told them that Eddie was the one who had kidnapped Caitlin!

But then Reyes had to go and burst my bubble, by saying. "No, Eobard! You know, the guy who created this whole pocket world thing… Man, what did he do to your head? You're even dressing different. What is with you? I suppose that this is what you get for turning your back on us."

So my evil clone clearly had a thing when it came to betraying people…

So I figured that I had three choices. I could either tell these guys that they were mistaken, that my name is actually Cisco Ramon, aka Vibe, and that their former friend trapped me here. Yeah! I didn't think that would go down too well, either!

Or, I could either pretend to be there friend and act like that guy with an ego power trip… or I could impersonate their friend and grovel.

Did you figure out what I did? Yep! I went for the third choice. I impersonated their friend and apologized. He owes me big time! And at that point I was a fish out of water. I was the little mermaid – I had become part of their world… yeah I don't get the fish references either!

"Look, my hombre. I'm sorry. I don't know, I just thought that…" I didn't even need to begin my sentence because that guy, Reyes finished it for me.

"Yeah. You thought that he would take us home. Back to our own world. But it's like I warned you earlier. He will use you for your powers so he can travel back to his own time…"

The movie buff in me was loving this… I had to ask, "When was he from again?"

"The future, man! You must have really been hit hard." Reyes said.

That was it! I couldn't contain myself… "We've gotta go back… back to the future!" But, man they didn't get the reference at all! While I was chuckling at that quote… those guys were just staring at me. Man, at that point I wished that Astrid was there. The only person who I know has seen that movie just as much as I have… Sure I may have forced her to watch it a few too many times… but it's a good movie!

Plus, she would know better than I would, what to do when it came to that sort of situation… yeah, I like her, ok?

I'm sorry… going back off track again. Where was I? Oh yeah! The back to the future reference. Hahaha! Sorry, can't help myself… But yeah!

So fast track a little… Reyes and his goonies… well apparently they are my goonies? All three of them? But whatever! It's cool! We all went to some rundown apartment. It was like the lowest, dirtiest apartment I had ever seen. But apparently it was home, for the time-being. It made me realize that I was in a gang. And the gang just got bigger as I went along.

It was only a matter of time before they realized who I really was. Cisco, master hacker! Better hacker than Felicity Smoake for sure! I can dream right? That reminds me! There were no computers whatsoever in this place! Man, you could imagine my devastation. I'm getting withdrawals in my fingers just thinking about it…

But I needed to keep up my charade. For whatever it took, I was going to figure out how that Reverb put me into this world. I'm certain he and I have the same powers. I just need to learn how to use mine, and I assure you. That however long it takes, I will work my ass off to make it back. I will return home. I will seek my vengeance. And hopefully I get the girl in the end! Because this is my story…
