Can't.

[ which is even more creepy. a buzzing? Kara's hearing is top-notch which means that if she hears it, it's there and whatever's making it might also be behind what he felt earlier. ]

Have you felt anything? just before landing?

[takingkarabusiness]

I mean, not really? Just that. And kind of a strange feeling but nothing concrete.

[benames]

There was something.

[ he gestures at some point in front of them, at thin air, as if something is there, a kind of force he can sense but not explain. it's not buzzing, not to him, it's just there - something that he's not yet sure how to define. ]

During the - blackout.

[ and then he gestures towards himself, one hand over where his heart is ]

I felt it. It was a surge of energy.

[takingkarabusiness]

What did you feel? I mean, I know energy but could you tell anything about it?

[benames]

I don't know, pretty sure that was a first.

[ and hopefully a last. he's never a fan of forces he's not allowed to examine and can't understand. he's 98% sure that unknown energies which surge through people are mostly not a good sign. ]

Just - something going through me. It was weird but um. I'm pretty used to weird.

[ he tries to make it sound as casual as possible. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, sure, I guess when Barry Allen is your best friend...

[benames]

Barry isn't weird, Barry's pretty awesome. I mean.

[ he points to himself. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I mean, sure, you're kind of a nerd, but I think that makes you cool, not weird.

[benames]

I mean the superpowers. Which I have.

[ super dryly and maybe he's a bit amused ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Wait, you have superpowers! Cisco!

[ arm punch, which is slightly harder than a love tap because she's supergirl, but it won't hurt him too bad. maybe a bruise ]

Why didn't you say anything! Is this a new thing?

[benames]

Ok that - seriously hurt and ok, I am going to just,

[ inch away from her ]

before I tell you that no, nothing new, been there all the time but before you go for another punch, they're really more weird than super.

[takingkarabusiness]

Sorry, but you should have told me! What are they?

[benames]

I tap into the multiverse's vibrations. The vibrations of time and space, I mean. I can see alternate timelines, tap into alternate universes.

[ a tiny smile ]

Barry called me the Vibe.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's amazing! Can you—Does it count for like my Earth? How is it here? Have you had to deal with things? Does it tell you anything about how we got here or where "here" is? Why Vibe?

[benames]

I don't know.

[ and he should be more excited about the whole thing, about finding out the answers to all those questions. as a scientist, as the nerd he is, he ought to be more enthusiastic.

but the part that has met reverb seems to dominate his feelings regarding the whole thing ]

I vibed just once and it was my Earth. I think I might be able to vibe yours. It takes - I got some equipment from the hand-holding planet. Barry thought it was awesome since - well. Vibe. Vibrations.

[ he shifts a bit and shakes his head ]

No clue about this place, though.

[takingkarabusiness]

That was too many questions, wasn't it?

But you don't seem excited about it.

[benames]

It's not like you and Barry. I mean, I don't think I can ever do what you do.

[ and after a moment, he adds ]


I'm not sure it was ever meant to.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I mean, there's already at least one Barry and one me, and I'm not sure we'd like the competition.

You can do what you do. That's what's important.

[benames]

I didn't mean like that. I mean - I'm not sure if the Vibe can be a good thing like the Flash or Supergirl. Every sign out there indicates that if I go for this, I'll be your - arch-nemesis or something just as terrifying.

[takingkarabusiness]

What signs are those?

[benames]

Well - evil psychotic speedsters who was the one who gave us those powers said he was proud of me for having them and my earth-2 self is the worst comic book villain since Captain Cold.

[ he flops back ]

I don't know, Kara. I'm not sure I'm meant to be like you. Or Barry. What if I'm the one you two will have to stop?

[takingkarabusiness]

Is Earth-2 the one with the evil versions of everyone?

[benames]

Not everyone. Me and Caitlin, for sure. Barry was still a nerd. He was just a nerd without speed.

[ basically. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay, well, when Barry was explaining the different Earths to us, Winn said, "how about an Earth where everything is exactly the same but we're evil" and Barry said, "I've been there, it sucks". Is that what he was talking about?

[benames]

Yeah.

[ he nods and then adds ]

I mean, his two best friends were psychos so I guess earth-2 looked like it to him.
