Summary: Reverb is a villain leading a small band of meta-humans on a crime spree. Except lately, he hasn't been robbing banks or tech companies. He's been breaking into local warehouses, taking bulk supplies of toothbrushes and shoes and one time, ten boxes of stuffed animals and Barry's really confused, but he's not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. At least, until that gift horse starts taking hostages.

Author's Note: Despite my best intentions, Reverb got into my head and then rudely refused to leave. I apologize. Also, Thea Queen's line of Super Hero Themed Sex Toys is a reference to a previous script play that I did for Arrow, The Not So Secret Identity of Oliver Queen.

FLASHVIBE WEEK 2016 (2/2)

1. AU DAY

Reverb: Flash.
Flash: Reverb.
Reverb: I was beginning to think you wouldn't show.
Flash: You took hostages and your only demand was to fight me. That not exactly an offer I can refuse.
Reverb: Well, in my defense, you don't usually show up for warehouse alarms unless there's a really good reason. Also, not my words. I said, 'get me the Flash.' I just want to talk. No fighting. Promise.
Flash: You want to talk to me?
Killer Frost: He has a crush.
Reverb: Shut up, Cailtin!
Firestorm: He's been trying to get your attention for weeks now.
Reverb: Ronnie, I will sonic blast you through that wall.
Flash: Wait, I'm confused. You like me?
Reverb: Is it that hard to believe? I mean, come on, have you seen yourself in that suit?
Flash: If you wanted to talk, you could have just contacted the police, you didn't need to take hostages. They must be terrified.
Firestorm: Not really. He had Caitlin make them snow cones.
Flash: *to Killer Frost* You used your powers to make snow cones?
Killer Frost: And like I told them, if you tell anyone, I will hunt you down and freeze off your…
Reverb: Frost, finish loading the van! *to Flash* So, how about it? You promise to go on one date and I'll let all the hostages go.
Firestorm: He's letting them go, anyway. Reverb here doesn't have the stomach for real violence. That's why he has us. Besides, he wouldn't want to risk pissing off his precious Flash by hurting innocent…
Reverb: *sonic blasts Firestorm into the wall*
Flash: But… I… you're a villain and I'm… I'm the Flash.
Killer Frost: He's hardly a villain anymore. We've spent the last few weeks making deliveries to homeless shelters and hospitals.
Reverb: You do realize I can kill you without a second thought?
Killer Frost: But you won't.
Flash: Let me make sure I'm getting this. You've been stealing things to donate to charity, because you were trying to get my attention, and you've taken hostages so I'll be forced to show up and you can ask me out on a date?
Reverb: Well?
Flash: Are we talking a date as Reverb and the Flash or whoever I am under this mask with whoever you are under that eyeliner?
Reverb: *smiles* Like I said, have you seen yourself in that suit?
Flash: *blushing* I'll probably regret this, but okay.
Reverb: Okay?
Flash: One date. I'll meet you at the lookout Saturday night at eleven p.m. and we'll go from there.
Killer Frost: Holy shit, it worked. Baby, wake up, it worked.
Firestorm: *rubs the back of his head* Damn, I lost the bet.
Flash: *looks over at them nervously, then back at Reverb* And just us. Leave the sidekicks at home.
Reverb: Trust me, Flash, I don't want an audience for what I plan to do to you.
Flash: Don't get ahead of yourself, Reverb. It's one date.
Reverb: Oh, don't worry, I'm not. I can tell there's a little bad in you, Flash, and I fully intend to find it.
Flash: Yeah, maybe there's a little good in you.
Reverb: If things work out the way I want, there will be.
Killer Frost: Ew.
Flash: What are you…? Oh! No, absolutely not. That is not happening.
Reverb: We'll see. Until Saturday, Flash. * gets in van and drives off*
Flash: Oh, I'm definitely going to regret this.

*Saturday, 12:30 a.m.*

Reverb: *kiss* If it's any consolation *kiss* I didn't actually think this would *kiss* work.
Flash: *pulls away* Wait, what did you think would happen?
Reverb: I kind of expected you to bring backup and try to take me in.
Flash: For real? Then why bother?
Reverb: What can I say, Flash? I'm a sucker for a guy in leather.
Flash: Tri-polymer and it's Barry. *kiss*
Reverb: *pulls away* Barry?
Flash: My name, it's Barry. You're half naked on my couch. I figure that's first-name-basis material.
Reverb: *kiss* Cisco and we should move this to the bedroom.
Flash: Right. *kiss*
/dissolves into a much more mature rating/

2. SOCIAL MEDIA AU

Barry: *knocking on the door* Cisco! *more knocking* Open this door right now or I swear to God I'm phasing through it.
Caitlin: Sounds like someone's in trouble.
Cisco: Shut up. Stay out of sight.
Caitlin: Whatever you say, boss. I'll be in my room doing unspeakable things to Ronnie.
Cisco: Just keep it down. *opens door* Barry! What brings you to my lair?
Barry: *stops just inside the door* You call this a lair?
Cisco: What would you call it?
Barry: A two bedroom loft in the middle of downtown with a gourmet kitchen and a sixty inch flat screen?
Cisco: It's also got sick surround sound. You should hear the way porn bounces off these walls. It's like you're right there.
Barry: *ignored last statement* How much is the rent on this place?
Cisco: A small fortune. Who says crime doesn't pay? *holds out hand* Twizzler?
Barry: What? No, that's not why I'm here. I saw your blog.
Cisco: It's cool, right? What do you think of the new name? Vibe. Like Reverb, but different. Kind of like how The Arrow changed his name to the Green Arrow and everyone was expected to pretend they didn't know it was the same person.
Barry: Villains can't have blogs, Cisco. They're traceable.
Cisco: I'm struggling not to be insulted by the implication that I can't cover my tracks on the internet. Also, not a villain anymore. More of a… vigilante. Ugh, I can't believe I just said that. I'm so disappointed in myself.
Barry: *ignores last statement* Okay, well, vigilantes don't have blogs, either. The Green Arrow doesn't have one, neither does the Black Canary, or me.
Cisco: Maybe you should. You could get in touch with your fans. Let them see you as a person.
Barry: I don't need them to see me as a person. I need them to see me as a hero and you need to stay under the radar.
Cisco: But I'm bored! Robbing Walmart Distribution takes a lot less planning than breaking into Palmer Tech. Or Mercury or S.T.A.R. Labs. Man, they have the best toys. *wistful sigh*
Barry: You may be giving everything to charity, but you're still stealing. You're still wanted by the police. A blog is just another vulnerability. You can't afford that. If they catch you, they'll put you in with the other meta-humans. They'll eat you alive. You'll be someone's bitch in less than twenty-four hours.
Cisco: Again, struggling not to be insulted. I'm not a helpless little kitten, Barry. I can hold my own.
Barry: You know what I mean.
Cisco: What if I promise to be extra careful?
Barry: Cisco…
Cisco: Cross my heart and hope to die?
Barry: That's not… wait, are those Flash symbols on your pants?!
Cisco: Just now noticing that, huh? Wait till you see what I've gone on under them. *pulls Barry down into a kiss* I'll give you a hint. Nothing.
Barry: You're trying to distract me.
Cisco: It's not trying if it's working.

*the next morning-

Barry: *groggily gets his coffee*
Caitlin: *winks from across the couch* Rough night, tiger?
Barry: What are you doing here?
Caitlin: I live here.
Barry: Of course you do. *sips coffee* Firestorm, too?
Caitlin: One big happy family.
Barry: Right. *goes back to the bedroom* You didn't tell me you had roommates.
Cisco: My mouth was otherwise occupied.
Barry: Hm.
Cisco: Are you mad?
Barry: You know, I probably should be, but I'm not. Just promise none of this is going to end up on your blog.
Cisco: Promise.
Barry: Now take your fingers out from behind your back, uncross them, and say it again.
Cisco: Spoilsport.

3. POLY DAY

Barry: Cisco?
Cisco: Yes.
Barry: Why is there another you handcuffed in my bed?
Cisco: I'm so glad you asked. Do you remember the other day when I told you I could reach through the vibrations of the universe into other dimensions and you so rudely refused to believe me without proof? Well, meet proof.
Earth 1-Cisco: Hey.
Barry: Okay, that's… amazing, but that doesn't explain the handcuffs.
Cisco: Despite that ridiculous t-shirt and the puppy-dog eyes, he's me.
Earth 1-Cisco: This shirt isn't ridiculous. It's an Aliens take on the classic Jurassic Park logo.
Cisco: It's cute you'd think I know what that means.
Barry: I'm still confused about the handcuffs.
Cisco: They prevent him from using his powers. Just because he hasn't realized his full potential, doesn't mean it isn't there.
Earth 1-Cisco: Are we done yet? You said I could go home when you'd convinced him. He looks pretty convinced to me.
Barry: Oh, I'm convinced.
Cisco: *sits on bed*
Earth 1-Cisco: *scoots away*
Cisco: I could take you home.
Earth 1-Cisco: I'm sensing a 'but.'
Barry: *chuckles*
Earth 1-Cisco: Bro. Not cool.
Barry: Sorry.
Earth 1-Cisco: *to Cisco* You were saying?
Cisco: It's less of a 'but,' more of an 'or.' Usually, I'm a little territorial with my things. I never was big on sharing, not even with Dante, but for you? I could make an exception.
Earth 1-Cisco: What? I don't…
Cisco: *grins*
Barry: *blushes*
Earth 1-Cisco: *looks at Cisco, then Barry, then Cisco* Are you for real? Is there any universe out there where I'm not banging my best friend?
Cisco: Not many. So, what do you say?
Earth 1-Cisco: I…
Cisco: And don't try to tell me you don't think about him that way. I've Vibed you often enough to know what you fantasize about when you touch yourself at night.
Earth 1-Cisco: Dios mio, that is not okay! When this is over, you are never allowed to vibe me again.
Cisco: Is that a yes?
Earth 1-Cisco: *sigh* This had better not get back to my Barry.
Barry: Is anyone gonna ask if I'm okay with this?
Cisco/Earth 1-Cisco: *laughing*
Cisco: That's adorable, now get over here.

4. NEIGHBORS/ROOMMATES AU

Cisco: You should move in with me.
Barry: Huh? *pauses the movie* I should what?
Cisco: Move in with me. Since you've restricted my methods of revenge to strictly legal means…
Barry: No killing, no stealing, no vandalizing, and no kidnapping – but what does revenge have to do with me moving in?
Cisco: Ronnie and Caitlin.
Barry: What?
Cisco: I've had two years of them fucking like rabbits in a loft with no bedroom ceilings. I can hear everything. Caitlin likes to narrate and she denies it, but I think she does it to torture me. Last night Ronnie had apparently been a very bad boy. She made him get on all fours so she could spank him. It was thirty swats before she 'applied ice' and fingered him while he ate her out. The whole thing took twenty minutes.
Barry: That's horrifying.
Cisco: So, move in with me and help me get revenge by having loud, obnoxious sex in my room. And in the shower. And the kitchen.
Barry: I'm not moving in with you so you can get revenge on your roommates. If anyone is moving in with anyone, it would be you moving in with me to get away from them.
Cisco: Okay.
Barry: What? No! Cisco, you can't move in with me. I live with my dad and he's a detective. The only reason he hasn't realized you're the Vibe is because he's only met you once for less than five seconds.
Cisco: Well, then, we'll just have to get our own place. There's an available two bedroom in my building on the top floor. It needs work, but the views are fantastic and I'm the landlord, so we can do whatever we want to it.
Barry: You own the building?!
Cisco: It's called diversifying your assets, Barry, and it wasn't like Caitlin and Ronnie could walk in and sign a lease. Not to mention, I didn't exactly have traceable income, but I had disposable cash. So, I bought it.
Barry: If you own the building, why didn't you just move into another unit before now?
Cisco: Didn't have a reason to.
Barry: And now you do?
Cisco: Depends. Are you saying you'll move in with me?
Barry: You're for real about this, aren't you?
Cisco: I'm also beginning to feel a little insecure, so if you could just go ahead and say yes, that would…
Barry: Yes.
Cisco: Good, because I finished the renovations yesterday and I'd like to get us moved in this week.
Barry: Wait, you planned this?
Cisco: Oh, amorcito, I plan everything.

5. FREE DAY

Barry: What are we doing?
Cisco: Eating breakfast?
Barry: No, not what are we doing right now. What are we doing in this relationship? Why are you with me?
Cisco: Your abs. I could bounce a quarter off them, it's very enticing. Scientifically speaking.
Barry: I'm serious. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. Despite the fact that you can be a pain in my ass, I actually like you, but I just don't get it. You spend years as a villain, stealing millions of dollars worth of prototypes and cash, and then one day you up and decide to become some kind of hero because you want to be with me when we've never even spoken more than a handful of words to each other.
Cisco: …
Barry: Come on, Cisco, give me something, because the sex is great and if that's all this is, fine, we can keep doing it until we get tired of it or find something better, but I at least want to know.
Cisco: *stares intently at cereal bowl* You know what the worst part about my powers are? The Vibes. I know what people really want from me, I know what they say behind my back, and I know what they're planning to do if I drop my guard long enough for them to do it. Discovering my powers, meant discovering that everyone I thought was my friend was just using me and I was a joke to them because I didn't know it.
Barry: I'm sorry.
Cisco: *shrugs* Don't be. I'd rather know. Most of the people I've met don't care about anything other than themselves and what they can get out of me. Caitlin and Ronnie can be jerks, but at least they respect me enough to be honest. Then I Vibed you and you're… you. You remind me of the hopeless little optimist I used to be, except you know what people can be like, you just don't care. You refuse to give up on them. It's annoying and frustrating and inspiring all at the same time. I Vibed you a few more times after that, figured eventually I'd get something bad, but the worst thing you do is drink orange juice out of the carton – which, by the way, stop. It's disgusting.
Barry: I'm in a hurry!
Cisco: You're a speedster. I refuse to believe you can't take five seconds to use a glass. So, yeah, the more I Vibed you, the more I wanted to get to know you, but I knew you wouldn't want anything to do with me as a villain, so I changed that and, much to my surprise, you're worth it. You're everything I thought you were and more. I actually don't mind giving up my life of crime if it means I get to eat breakfast with you every morning.
Barry: Cisco…
Cisco: And don't worry, I won't go back to being Reverb if you decide to break up with me. I like this me. I like having fans and a blog and people who look up to me.
Barry: I like you, too.
Cisco: Then could you do me a favor? If anyone asks, tell them I'm just in it for the sex. I've already lost half my street cred running charity to get in your pants, the least you can do is help maintain what little dignity I have left in the underworld.
Barry: You're hopeless.
Cisco: Maybe, but I'm yours.

6. SMUT DAY

Cisco: How do you feel about sex toys?
Barry: No.
Cisco: Don't be so close-minded.
Barry: We have our hands full dealing with our own super powers in the bedroom, or did you forget the time you accidentally blew a hole in the headboard?\
Cisco: I will never forget that. It was the most intense orgasm I've ever had. It's just that, as a villain, my relationships tend to be few and far between.
Barry: That has nothing to do with you being a villain.
Cisco: Hush. Now, occasionally, I fill that gap with one of my many toys. And I'm not talking about fancy tech.
Barry: I'm suddenly very uncomfortable with where this is going.
Cisco: About a year ago, I discovered Thea Queen's line of super hero themed sex toys.
Barry: *blushes* Oh dear God.
Cisco: For instance, the Green Arrow. Unlike its predecessor the Arrow, it's not a strap on, but it's still has the cone tip with a base slightly wider than the twelve inch shaft.
Barry: *pulls a pillow over his head*
Cisco: *takes pillow away* Now this, I love. The Black Canary has a prostate tickler guaranteed to make your partner scream. And then, there's the Flash.
Barry: *buries himself under the blankets*
Cisco: It has a very unique vibration, soft but satisfying. Like most of her products, it's silicone based, but the vibration is designed to run equally through the entire length of the shaft, base to tip. I'd never felt anything quite like it, until the first time I had my hand around you.
Barry: I hate you so much right now.
Cisco: I know, but it felt so much like you, it made me wonder if she knew you. Does she, Barry? And don't bother lying or I'll Vibe you and find out for myself.
Barry: I should have known she was up to no good when she asked me to vibrate for her.
Cisco: Perfect. I wanna meet her.
Barry: What? No!
Cisco: Why not?
Barry: You're both devious master minds and I don't trust you in the same room together.
Cisco: But you are going to introduce me to her.
Barry: I don't think so.
Cisco: Really? Let's see what the Green Arrow has to say about that.

*two days later*

Barry: Cisco Ramon, Thea Queen. Thea Queen, Cisco Ramon, my boyfriend.
Cisco: I'm a huge fan of your work.
Thea: My… work?
Barry: *coughing into hand* Sex Toys.
Thea: Oh! Right. Of course. Thank you.
Cisco: No, thank you. *winks*
Barry: *blushes and considers hiding under the table*
Cisco: So, tell me, have you ever considered doing a Villain Line?

7. VILLAINS/PARTNERS IN CRIME AU

Barry: I can't believe I'm letting you talk me into this.
Cisco: It's mine, Barry. I built it, I get to keep it. Not him.
Barry: Technically, you stole it first…
Cisco: No, I stole the parts to make it.
Barry: That's kind of the same thing.
Cisco: No, it's not. Do you have any idea how much time and energy I put into that? How many nights I stayed up working out all the little details, making sure it was just right? Do you know how difficult it was to make an exact replica of the 1970's Sonic Screw Driver only to have Hartley steal it? No, absolutely not.
Barry: But isn't that your thing? I thought you two stole from each other all the time?
Cisco: Yes, art work, cash, left socks, but never the important things. I would never touch his Hearing Aids or his Gauntlets and he knows better than to mess with my tech.
Barry: Wait tech? I thought it was just a toy model. Does that thing actually do something?
Cisco: …No.
Barry: Cisco, what does it do?
Cisco: Don't worry about that. What's important right now is, he did this to draw me out and if it's war he wants, it's war he'll get.
Barry: You never said anything about war!
Cisco: It's the Pied Piper, of course it's war. Now, suit up, this is gonna be fun.
