WORD: Tiger

Author's Note: This, in my humble honest person opinion, is a rather creative way to take this word :D

I happen to have an obsession with Spider-Man, btw, and you might be a little bit confused if you don't know about MJ and Peter Parker and her adorable name for him.

"Cisco, what are you doing?" Caitlin asked, frowning as her best friend shoved her into the Cortex. He discreetly glanced around them, going to far as to look under the desk and behind the Flash suit before Caitlin glared at him and made him sit. "Talk. Now."

Cisco took one last furtive look around before nodding. "Alright, I don't think Barry's here."

"No duh, he's not here," Caitlin eye-rolled. "But why on Earth does it matter? His birthday is in five months and I don't think we need to plan for a gift that soon in advance."

"No, no, this isn't about a birthday gift," Cisco dismissed. "But! It is about your relationship."

"Oh my gosh, Cisco, stop right there." Caitlin held up her hands and rose to her feet. "Barry can come to you for relationship help all he wants but, in case you haven't noticed, I don't need it."

Cisco quickly shot upward and grabbed her arm before she could leave. "Just hear me out!" he protested. "I've been going through all sorts of iconic superhero relationships in my free time, and I think I have some valuable information about how to date a superhero!"

Caitlin raised her eyebrows and sent a quick glance at her watch. "Okay, Cisco Ramon, you've got ten minutes."

"Yes." Cisco fist-pumped and grabbed his tablet, quickly syncing his computer to the monitor. A neat, ordered list popped up on the screen and Caitlin raised her eyebrows higher, leaning back.

"First off," Cisco started. "I've listed some of the best superhero couples of Marvel history. We have... Tony Stark and Pepper Potts, Steve Rodgers and Peggy Carter, Vision and Scarlett Witch, Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy or, depending on what movie you're looking at, Peter Parker and MJ."

"Riiight..." Caitlin said skeptically. "So how exactly is this going to help me with my relationship with Barry?"

"Each of these couples have gone through their hard times," Cisco said sagely. "With the exception of Peggy and Steve and Vision and Wanda -er, Scarlett Witch, sorry-, there was always the difficult moment in their relationship when one didn't know the other was a superhero."

"Uh, Cisco, hate to break it to you, but I was one of the first people to even know Barry had powers," Caitlin said dryly. "I don't think that really applies to me."

Cisco's face scrunched up. "Huh," he muttered. "I didn't really think about that."

Caitlin let out a long sigh. "Is that really all you had?"

"Um..." Cisco rubbed the back of his neck, and Caitlin knew that indeed, that was all that he'd had. But then he stuck his finger in the air. "Uh, no! No! There's uh... Right! So, Peter and MJ had this totally-chill-with-you-being-a-hero thing even before MJ knew Peter was Spiderman."

"Cisco, the only Spiderman I've watched is the Tom Holland one," Caitlin sighed. "And MJ and Peter aren't even a thing in that one; Liz and Peter are."

It looked like Cisco had just been punched in the face. "W-W-What?! No, no way. No, MJ and Peter are sooooo ending up together-"

Before they could be thrust into an all out shipping war that Caitlin would definitely lose (because I'm writing the story, and Michelle/Peter are AMAZING :D), the doctor quickly interjected herself into Cisco's rant. "Regardless, Cisco, I'm already "chill" with Barry being the Flash. I work with him, remember? So how can this couple help me?"

Cisco, obviously scrambling for ideas, suddenly lit up. "Nicknames!"

"Huh?" Caitlin squinted at him. "Barry calls me Cait."

"Yes, but what do you call him?" Cisco shot back.

Caitlin blinked, unable to come up with a good reason why this "problem" wasn't already fixed. "Um... so what do you want me to call him? Spiderman? Pete?"

"No, that would be totally weird," Cisco replied, giving her an odd look. "BUT! There is something else MJ calls Peter. I remember... all the way back to the Spiderman cartoon shows... man, those were good-"

"Cisco."

"Right, sorry." Cisco grinned at her and typed a quick search into google. He and Caitlin sat in silence as MJ and the Toby Miguire Spiderman stood making out before sirens interrupted them.

In the clip, MJ pulled back and smiled at Peter. "Go get 'em, Tiger."

Cisco deleted the tab and leaned back, smiling triumphantly at Caitlin. "And there you go. You need something like that."

Caitlin raised her eyebrow, sitting back. "What happened to not liking the pet-names?"

"Eh," Cisco shrugged. "I've gotten used to them by now. Besides, Tiger is basically just a reference, so..."

Caitlin shook her head. "Well, Cisco Ramon, you have outdone yourself."

"Really?"

She stood up. "No, not really. But maybe when Barry runs off to save the day, I'll compare him to a cheetah or something."

Cisco laughed outright. "Hey, man, that's all I ask."

Author's Note: AHHH MICHELLE JONES AND PETER FOREVER!
