The next day, Lisa took Leonard's advice and texted Cisco: "Hey, wanna get coffee?"
It took more time than she was comfortable with to get a reply, but eventually her phone dinged with the reply: "Hell yeah. Jitters tmrrw? 6?"
She blew out the breath she didn't know she was holding and replied, "Perfect."
Now she just had to prepare.
The rest of the day was a blur to Lisa. It's not like she was big into dating. Her family wasn't known for relationships, their father saw to that little psychosis. But, if Lenny thought this could work, she'd give it a try.
Now, she sits in Jitters, feeling up to the name of the coffee shop. She honestly expects Cisco to not show, but then he walks in.
"Damn, girl. Lookin' good," he says as he approaches.
Lisa blushes and looks down. Compliments aren't her thing, either. Thanks, Dad…
Cisco takes the seat across from her and smiles. "So, to what do I owe the honor of coffee with Golden Glider?"
"Well, a large part of that is thanks to Lenny."
"What's Snart got to do with this?"
"He told me you saved his life a while ago and that I should maybe give you another chance."
"A while ago?" Cisco questions with a confused look on his face.
"Yeah, I got a video from the Legends. The note just said that they found it but it was made earlier. Before he died."
"But…"
"What, Cisco?"
"I just helped save him yesterday."
Now Lisa has a confused look.
Cisco snaps his fingers as the idea came to him. "Barry went to Siberia in 1892 to get Snart. Sure, it was the past, but that Snart was from the future!"
"What future?"
"Everyone's future. He's not dead. Or… maybe he won't be dead later? Time travel's wonky."
"That's why he had the ring!"
"Ring?"
"I'm almost positive I saw Lenny wearing a wedding ring in the video they sent."
Cisco gasps. "Just don't sit me at the singles' table…"
"Huh?"
"I thought I heard Snart say that to Barry. No singles' table because he's not single!"
"The rat! Not even inviting me to the wedding!"
"Well, it probably hasn't happened yet."
Lisa rolls her eyes. "You just said he's married."
"Yeah, future Leonard is married. Current Leonard is dead. Maybe the Legends save him somehow? Will save him? Barry must have gotten a very future Leonard even though he was in the past. The wedding hasn't happened for us. Snart's wedding takes place before Barry brought him here, but after where we are now. Make sense?"
"Not in the least. But if Lenny's alive… at some point… to come… then I'm ok with it."
Cisco smiles at the bright look on Lisa's face. "So, he actually put that good word in for me, huh?"
Lisa chuckles a bit. "Yeah. Told me it's important to have a good guy watching out for me."
"Captain Cold called me a good guy. Is this real life?"
"Believe it or not, yeah."
"Ripley wouldn't believe this one!" Cisco says with a laugh. "But I'm glad Leonard did it."
"Me too. So… I haven't heard from you in a while. How are things?"
"Busy. We've been very busy with some time travel of our own. Things seem to have worked out. Though, we… I lost a dear friend."
Lisa reaches across the table to hold Cisco's hand. "Wanna talk about it?"
Cisco, while upset over the past couple of days, can't believe that Lisa Snart is actually showing emotion. "Yeah, I think I would."
The pair sits and talk, finally leading to Cisco inviting Lisa to dinner at an actual restaurant. They walk to the restaurant and sit and talk some more for hours.
Finally, the evening ends and Cisco walks Lisa to her motorcycle. She gets onto the bike, kisses him and smiles. "Tag, you're it. Gotta call me next." And she speeds away.
"Thank you for the good word, Leonard Snart," Cisco mumbles, still stunned by Lisa's kiss.
He wonders if he should tell the STAR Labs crew about his new knowledge of the future, but decides to keep it to himself. Barry isn't great with handling the future, so maybe it was best to keep this a secret for now.
