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!

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.
action »
[ he frowns for a moment ]
what if I'm a villain in the making?
action »
[ Her fingers move, pressing gently against his cheek, and Hermione's expression softens. ]
Someone with a good heart, someone who is strong and kind... Someone like you? They don't become villains. They worry about doing the right thing, or making the right choice, they worry about other people and how to help them and they feel sad when they lose someone, no matter how bad that person was. Someone like you, Cisco, could never be a villain, because you love far too much for that.
[ For a moment she's reminded a little of Harry, and - it almost makes her feel less homesick, more at peace, happier just for being in his company. ]
action »
Alright. For you. And the Flash and definitely Caitlin, too.
[ ... ]
and to show him he was dead wrong.
action »
[ She realises, awkwardly, that her hand is still on his cheek, but... She doesn't take it away, not really. Instead, she brushes her thumb over his skin before she drops her hand down to rest on his shoulder. ]
We'll figure out a way to help you control this, and then - you'll show us just how amazing we all know you are.
action »
Well, I mean, I still would have preferred to make ya'll my amazing-awesome-burritors-of-doom but I guess we could go down the 'take control of your powers' path.
action »
I suppose if it's the only path we can take...
