But soon Cisco had a prototype designed, lab tested, and then built. He wouldn't know if there were still adjustments to be made, however, until he actually tested it on her and saw what happens. Which was, of course, terrifying. Even though it was tech, it felt like he ought to have Caitlin helping with, as a doctor. What if it all went wrong? What if Bill wouldn't re-form herself after trying it? What if Bill died?!
So Cisco puts it off, and puts it off, until even he has to admit he's got no excuse anymore. If he keeps waiting like this, she is bound to lose her patience, or think he failed or forgot. So he sends Bill a text one morning, saying: ]
got a prototype for your stabilizer
wanna drop (haha get it? 💦) by the workshop later and give it a whirl?

But when she gets Cisco's text, she smiles, relieved. Turns out she doesn't need to be so self sufficient. ]
brilliant! I'll stop by after work.
[ Later that afternoon, she arrives at Cisco's workshop, knocking on the door. She'd been so excited all day that it had been a little hard for her to stay together-- perfect conditions for a test, really. ]

Okay, so, here's how it's gonna be. I've got the prototype all ready to go, and I'ma give you three choices. If you pick door number 1, you try on the prototype, and try wearing it a couple days, see how it works for you, without any interference. Door number 2, you put on the prototype and we hang for a bit and see if we can stress test it a bit, since you said it's getting kind of distracted or upset that makes cohesion challenging. I have, for your viewing pleasure, copies of The Shining, The Blair Witch Project, and the Exorcist, ready to go. Or, if you want, door number 3 means we cut corners a bit, and I, uh, put this on you...
[ Cisco holds up a small headband, with some pieces of tech along it - a modified version of what was in the old version of his vibe goggles. ]
...this'll send out some signals that will directly stimulate the fear centers of your brain, which I'm gonna warn you right now is not fun, but it'll get it done real fast, guaranteed. So, uh, why don't I put some coffee on, and you can think about which door you're gonna pick?
no subject
She has to think about that. ]
Em... Yeah, why don't you make some coffee?
no subject
The first way's going to be the most dangerous.
[ He is just incapable of staying quiet, he has to at least mention the risks. ]
'Cause it's the least controlled. So we won't be able to predict when you'll get emotional enough to test the stabilizer. I probably won't be there, and who knows where you'll be. So I know it sounds like the easiest, safest way, but that one's the biggest risk to your safety.
[ As the coffee maker burbles its way to being done, Cisco pours them each a mug of coffee, continuing: ]
The headband's not gonna be fun, but I promise, it won't scramble your brain or anything. It's adapted from tech I've used on myself, without any side effects, except for it totally sucking. You want milk or sugar?
