Vibe Time

Disclaimer: And now, for a Cisco featured chapter as he's horribly under used in this fic of mine. Set after the current season but Dante never died but did lose the use of his legs in that car accident.

Summary: With all the money he's made over the past few years thanks to his technology that's also helped keep STAR Labs afloat, Cisco decides to finally do his own thing.


After Cicada had finally, thankfully, been stopped for good after a joint effort with all the heroes, Cisco had chosen to make a decision. One that had surprised his closest friends aside from Caitlin as none of them had realized he'd been thinking about it. Though this finally and helpfully explained to Barry and Iris why STAR Labs hadn't been shut down for good despite the fact Barry owned it as Cisco had been quietly helping keep it going with the money he made. Primarily from certain patents of his and the equipment he created for the Police and various Emergency services in Central City and beyond it. Along with Iron Heights and any other prison in the country that was interested in his Meta-Human dampening tech just in case they ever needed it.

His nearly getting killed again by Cicada in the final battle with the man had made Cisco come to the realization that now was the time to really move on and do his own thing. Granted, he would always be down to help out when it was really needed and thankfully his friends understood what he wanted to do. And with some help from his new girlfriend Camilla and his brother Dante, Cisco acquired a somewhat small building to begin his company from. One he affectionally chose to call 'Vibe Time', something that Harry would roll his eyes over later on when he learned about it. Cisco would even have Tracy Brand, Jax, and Hartley join him for the fun where Vibe Time was concerned. But naturally, where his parents were concerned… Mr. and Mrs. Ramon would be unimpressed with what he was doing.

Even vocalizing it quite loudly and further destroying any relationship between themselves and Cisco that could be. As he was tired and finally done with their negativity and lack of support towards him. Cisco's first release for his company involved a certain shield he came up with for the Police back when Snart and Rory had been around. Only a bit more modified. "Alright, so I've recently taken these babies back to the drawing board for a little re-design. One that'll provide even more protection for when you guys need to use them."

He quickly provided a demonstration on one of his new shields and the gathered crowd watched as it slowly expanded around the test dummy that held a shield until it was practically a bubble. "And in case you're stuck in a prolonged situation, I included air holes so that you're not completely cut off from being able to breathe in fresh air. I based this new design after Elongated Man after seein' him in action awhile back."

"But wouldn't the expansion possibly mean less protection in the primary center of the shield?" Wondered Captain Singh curiously.

Cisco just grinned. "Already thought ahead on that one so its a no worries kind of situation."

At least until someone figured out how to bypass that anyway and he hoped that wasn't for a long, long time from now! Singh stared at him for a long moment before giving a nod. "I've learned to trust in your work, Ramon. So I'm willing to be the first Precinct to try these out just like last time." Singh told him and gained a whoop of excitement from the former STAR Labs employee.

"You the man!"

Singh just smiled slightly before getting serious to discuss any important details with the genius Engineer. And for Cisco, he was even more confident about the future of Vibe Time with this experience and it made him happy.


Author's Notes: Probably coulda done more but I think this works.
