ok so
this is a little preview to the lecture I'm giving at the Iskaulit soon: The Amazing, Awesome, Absolutely Terrifying Physics of the Multiverse -
So the multiverse, which used to be a theory that is clearly being verified with each passing second is the force that connects an infinite number of alternate universes. Back home, we called ourselves Earth-1 but since we're not dealing with earths anymore, you can just call your home Universe-1.
Now, theoretically, there is an endless number of universes alternate to yours! they all have a version of you. For instance, I met my Earth-2 self which was a traumatic experience since he had the worst hair do since John Travolta did Grease.
[ and he was a psychopath but nevermind those details ]
This here is not an alternate universe, it's a pocket dimension since we have people here from various universes. Usuallym we have only one version of a person at a time BUT, if there ever was another version of YOU, then, you're in the same lifeboat as I am. You have met your Universe-2 self. Hope it was a good time. I'd love to meet the version of me who runs a highly successful company and can afford endless videos games but, I'm getting distracted.
Thing is, time in YOUR world didn't stop, which means that the YOU here is now an alternate version of the YOU at home. If you two ever meet, the one at home would be Universe-1 and you would be Universe-2. Talk about confusion, right?
it also means that if we ever find out how the Atroma is doing alla this that we can go full on Sliders. If you wouldn't want to go back to your world, you could go somewhere else since there is a YOU back home carrying on with the life you have left when you got here.
basically, it means that in theory, we might be able to visit each other's universes and times and if you have a cute girlfriend here you won't literally have to be star-crossed lovers.
Me, I'm less stuck on the 'you jump through the wormhole, I jump, Jack' and I'm more keen on discovering the sham that must be National City's pizza.
For a longer version of all of this and a talk about philosophy, physics and timelines, you can come to my lecture or just come visit me on the blameless. bring food.
Cisco Ramon, out!

It has to be something like that, especially for the people that have been to worlds and places before this one. If it really is like that and the multiverse works in that way, then there'd be too many people.
But does that explain parallel universes, or mirrored ones? Or, things like people going back in time?
no subject
well,
I can tell you all about those, going back in time and alternate universes but we should probably meet up, it'll take some explaining.
and some personal experience.
[ that I don't want to share with all of space isn't said, but is heavily implied. ]
no subject
Would you like to come to the Vanqish? We could have tea, and some scones, and talk about it.
no subject
I'm in - for the lessons and the tea. I'm on my way.
no subject
I'll meet you by the shuttles, then.
action »
so just for protocol's sake, are you a knight? am I supposed to give you a flashy title, because I can do flashy titles. I am - Team Flash.
[ wiggling eyebrows ]
action »
I'm not a Knight. I was only a Marchioness, and I was taught by other people.
action »
[ hermione you're 550% of awesome ]
action »
[ She's trying to play it off, but she is smiling. ]
action »
[ not buying it, Hermione, sorry. ]
I know a hardworking bee when I see one. We're all from the same hive.
action »
[ Meanie butt. ]
I worked hard but I didn't earn it. Not at first.
action »
[ he squeezes her shoulder. it's easy, this, the dynamic between them, this easy friendship that always makes him both excited and happy. what he has to tell her, however, is both personal and somewhat terrifying.
it'll be a relief to come clean about it all, maybe; it still doesn't make the whole process easier. ]
You're handling this whole alternate universes thing better than most people.
action »
[ She makes a soft noise, cheeks flushed, her eyes dancing over his features... She wants to move closer, to sink her arms around him, but she feels a touch afraid. She feels a little like if she takes another step closer it'll turn into something that maybe she's wrong about - that maybe she shouldn't be thinking about.
It's not about... Anything.
She has to focus. ]
I've been to an alternate universe. I think I'm used to it.
action »
[ though a very interesting setting. food must have been better than in this one. ]
An alternate world usually would look mostly like yours, maybe a little different or more advanced but the same world, same cities, same people.
[ elbowing ]
Met another you?
action »
[ The food was definitely much better - and she misses it, and maybe that shows on her face. ]
I never met another me, no. I've heard of people that have 'twins' - people that look identical to them with different worlds and histories, however... And a girl once said she met an alternate version of me in another world she'd been in.
action »
[ she's the second person to hear about Reverb and it's evidently not his favorite thing to talk about. Still, he can't really tell her about Vibe without his Earth-2 counterpart. ]
Really bad hair but also absolutely evil.
action »
[ Hermione is moving closer instantly, giving into her urge to reach out and touch him, her fingers wrapping around his even as she moves herself closer into his space. Maybe she ought to be giving him more wiggle room, but that's never really been her go-to when it comes to comforting others. ]
The complete opposite of you, then.
action »
[ it helps, though, this walk, being able to talk about Reverb, her reaction to the whole thing. ]
Look, there's something I gotta tell you but - it is at least 40% creepy. Ok, maybe 35% in the right circumstances.
action »
[ Shifting, she moves closer, holding onto Cisco's hand gently. ]
I've seen quite a few creepy things. I promise it's not going to scare me off.
action »
[ a bit of a shrug ]
The Flash called me the Vibe which is - a legit cool code name for something I'm not really sure is that cool.
action »
[ Hermione's hand squeezes his, and she watches him gently. ]
I mean, it must be uncomfortable, surely, seeing all these different timelines and all these other universes, but that kind of power? It's not something that you hear about. I mean, I've travelled through time but it's not the same as seeing it, is it?
[ Pausing, she tilts her head up. ]
Is that how you saw him? The other you?
action »
[ it took time and an explanation from one eobard thawne. ]
Nah. But he saw me. He controlled his powers, I'm not even close to doing that with mine.
action »
[ Tilting her head up, she watches him, curious, before she steels herself. ]
Okay. Can we help you practice, somehow?
action »
[ he looks down at his feet for a moment before clearing his throat ]
The man who gave us all these powers, he was - he was the worst man I've ever met. He killed my friend's mother and he - he hurt a lot of people. He was proud that I have these powers. I don't really want to make him proud.
action »
[ Hermione moves, and without thinking she reaches up to tilt Cisco's head, to force his attention back to her face. She knows she's battle-hardened, the scar on her face only the first of many, her neck littered with the white bites of a werewolf, her limbs sometimes still wobbly from bruising, but she thinks either way she might look a touch intimidating. ]
Do it for me instead. Ignore that - that arse who thought that he had any place in telling you anything. You're amazing, Cisco, and - and your powers are amazing, too. Make me proud, make the Flash proud, so that you can show that vile, awful man that what he says doesn't matter anymore.
