[ Cisco wants to trust Taako. He had trusted him enough to try this experiment, after all, which is a hell of a lot. But it's hard to focus on anything else with Eobard Thawne walking slowly and purposefully towards him, one hand raised high and vibrating so fast that it is an awful, nauseating blur. He's smiling a little, even though Cisco's not really sure anymore whether that detail is quite right. When Taako closes his eyes, clearly focusing on trying the spell again, Cisco just assumes it will fail a second time. And he stops pleading and just... gives up. He hangs his head and braces himself for the pain of having his heart torn to bits. There's no point in trying to run or fight back. He knows that as well as he'd known it the first time.
But then, impossibly, he feels a kind of tug from just beneath his ribcage, and Eobard is gone. That shuddery, awful sound of his hand vibrating is gone, replaced by the soft sound of water moving in some kind of huge container, an overall low hum as if there were in some kind of ship or plane. Cisco looks up, breath catching in his throat.
Taako had told him about the voidfish, but words didn't really do it justice. It's so much bigger, and stranger, and more beautiful than Cisco had imagined. And he knows what it means. He whirls around, looking at every corner of the room, but it is empty apart from the two of them and the voidfish. Cisco lets out a huge, shuddery sigh of relief, hand coming up reflexively to cover his heart, to rub away at the half-imagined, half-remembered pain there. ]
Holy shit, you did it. You- Taako, thank you.
[ Cisco is trembling faintly from head to toe, but he stands up straight and works on slowing his breaths, dispelling the lingering panic now that they are safe. He notices, then, that this room still has the faint blue tint of one of his vibes. Still has that weird, hyper-real feeling of a vibe, as opposed to a dream. But... the voidfish had made a sound after Taako spoke to it. That shouldn't happen, normally, in a vibe. ]
That was, uh- we... can talk about that later. [ Then, more briskly, clearly eager to move the conversation along before Taako can ask any questions about what had just gone down. ] So this is the voidfish, right? Are you- does everything look blue to you? It does to me, like I'm in one of my vibes, do you see it like that?
