[ Perhaps Alec is right - Cisco doesn't know enough about how the portal works to know if there is some kind of bias towards bringing whole groups of people, if they are together at a particular time. It sounds plausible enough. In his case, he'd been all on his own when he arrived (both in the physical sense of being alone at S.T.A.R. Labs, and also in the sense of feeling very isolated and lonely). ]

He'd hate it here. And I wouldn't feel too bad about it. He's not big on talking, in general.

[ But Cisco's smiling a little as he says that; despite his many flaws, Cisco still likes Oliver, gruff and grumpy as he may be. ]

And I appreciate bows. From a technical standpoint, anyway. No good at actually firing them, but I've designed a few.

[ Cisco nods, listening to the explanation of Magnus's magic. He's going to have to make a point of talking to Magnus, later. Sounds like an interesting guy. ]
