Winn approached young man and woman talking with one other. After being bummed that Kara went to Barry's Earth last week to fight an army of evil genocidal aliens with an army of other superheroes no less he jumped at the chance when Kara told him about Barry's party. Winn being a science geek by nature was both fascinated and impressed by the device that now enabled Kara to travel to between universes at will and had hoped to pick the brains of the creator.

'Hey you're Cisco, right?' Winn asked as he approached them the two looked at him confused.

'That's right.' He confirmed hesitantly probably not sure how he'd react to Winn

'Winn Schott,' Winn introduced as he extended his hand 'I'm a friend of Kara's.' The metahuman shook his hand firmly before Winn continued.

'I got some questions about the trans-dimensional gateway you gave Kara.'

'Actually, its called an interdimensional extrapolator.' Cisco corrected.

'Also, a cool name' Winn remarked 'Anyways I just was wondering how were you able to calibrate a breach to our universe out of the infinite number of universes out there.'

'Well last year when Barry was training to get faster he used a tachyon generator to increase his speed,' Cisco began to explain.

'…and the speed which he was traveling at the time is what enabled him to open the breach to our earth when he first met us.' Winn finished.

'Nice to see someone on the up and up.' Cisco complemented as he was impressed Winn knew so much about the fundamentals of the multiverse and the requirements that enabled breaches and universe travelling. Cisco remembered from what Barry mentioned of his initial meeting with Kara that while her earth didn't seem to have any specific counterparts of their team, Winn was the closest thing to an Earth-38 doppelganger.

'I'm going to use the bathroom you boys have fun.' The brunette girl said as she walked off no doubt not wanting to be the third wheel in their conversation.

'Anyways,' Cisco continued 'After Barry first came to your universe he left a tachyon particle trail that I was able to backtrack when we recruited Kara.'

'But how can you track something that's 37 alternate universes away?' Winn asked.

'Well…' Cisco began hesitantly he wasn't sure if he should tell this as Winn was someone he had just met but he knew Barry and given that Winn was okay he decided to do so 'I have this ability…'

'You're like Barry, you're a metahuman?!' Winn blurted with astonishment.

'Yeah but unlike Barry instead of the ability to zip around from one place to another like that' Cisco motioned as he snapped his fingers in a gesture 'I have this connection to the energy in the multiverse.'

'So you have the ability to just pop back and forth between dimensions whenever you want too?' Winn asked Cisco.

'Yes and no, when I vibe…vibe is what I call opening breaches or sensing a connation to other earths.' Cisco explained.

'Catchy.' Winn nodded.

'Well when I vibe I sort of feel the dimension I intend to travel to I use special gloves that help focus and stabilize the dimensional energy into a breach so that the traveling is possible.' Cisco said.

'Functional workwear, sweet.' Winn continued to compliment.

'Thanks, I hear you yourself are an expert when it comes to making hero gear nice job designing Kara's suit BTW. Cisco smiled.

'So the device you gave Kara works the same way as your gloves you just compacted the design into a smaller unit since its only keyed to our universe and here.' Winn guessed.

'Yup and because its just the one universe that needed to be accounted for I was able to make a communication function as well….' Cisco started.

'…to match the frequency of our earth to send a signal even across dimensions.' Winn finished.

'Exactly!' Cisco agreed.

The two continued their small talk Winn found out they both had a lot in common from their love of movies to their professions in mechanical engineering and computer sciences, on his Earth no one he knew was as passionate about his interests the way Cisco was.

'How were you able to stabilize the breaches without it collapsing upon itself?' Winn asked.

'CFL quark matter.' Cisco answered.

'Really you made CFL quark matter? How is that possible on my earth we have a small alien generator that can do it.' Winn wondered with awe.

'It's a trick I picked up last year from a guy named Jay although he wasn't really named Jay.' Cisco explained to which Winn shot a questionable look that was one part confused and another part curious.

'Don't ask.' Cisco insisted in an uncomfortable tone and Winn chose not to. 'So how about you, when did you become such a gear head?

'Well…I guess it was from my dad, he was an expert in mechanical engineering and it looked like the apple didn't fall far from the tree.' Winn answered.

'So uh where is your old man?' Cisco asked curious as to why Winn opt to spending Christmas with Kara instead.

'Don't ask.' Was Winn's almost instinctual and equally uncomfortable reply and like before Cisco knew not to push further. A moment of silence passed before Cisco spoke up again.

'You know what.' Cisco said as he lifted his glass of eggnog. 'You're all right, Winn.'

'Thanks, Bud or do you prefer Oly?' Winn smiled as he clicked his glass with Cisco's.

'Your earth has Repo Man?' Cisco asked understanding the reference.

'What earth doesn't have Repo Man?' Winn retorted.


Up next Caitlin has a heart to heart with Alex and J'onn.
