Thanks. You're a pal. I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important to me.

[ Cisco's never been one to ask his friends to keep secrets for him - a whole lot more often, he was the one being told to keep stuff quiet. Dr. Wells had done it for ages about some of the more questionable stuff that happened at S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry had done it, about his identity as the Flash. Caitlin had done it, about Ronnie being alive. Joe had done it while he was investigating Dr. Wells. Hell, even Taako had done it to a certain degree, when it came to the few things about Magnus's future that Cisco had glimpsed in vibes. It's... a little uncomfortable, being on the other end of the equation. ]

Not always, no. I mean, I'm not gonna lie, a lot of them are scary. And they've never really been... good, but they're not always bad. Sometimes they're just neutral.

[ Now that he's actually dropped the whole I have visions bomb, probably good to mention: ]

I've seen... you guys fighting the Hunger, a couple times. I had visions of, like, you and Lup before you ever even showed up. Not big stuff or whatever, just enough to make it a little bit weird.

[ohhmrburnsides]

Of course, dude. I get it.

[It's a bummer about the visions, but Magnus is always the optimist.]

That sucks. But, I mean... At least they're useful, right? I mean, they saved my life.

[The bit about Cisco having seen visions of Magnus's life makes him feel the tiniest bit weird, but generally, he's cool with it.]

Just don't judge me too harshly based on your visions. I've done some stupid shit and I have no doubt I'm bound to do more stupid shit.

[ It's kind of just settling in now, but Magnus is right. If it weren't for Cisco's powers, Magnus would almost certainly be dead right now. And even if Taako has magic that could bring him back, even if the medicine here is advanced enough that maybe he wouldn't have been lost forever... it's still much better, that he never got hurt at all.

Cisco is so accustomed to thinking of his powers as unwanted, and hostile, and pointless. But this is one thing, one objectively good thing that they've done. So he smiles faintly and admits ]

Yeah... I guess they are useful, sometimes.

[ He is shaking his head before Magnus is even finished speaking ]

I don't judge, dude. And like I said it's not like I saw much.

[ He could just leave things here, not go into the rest of it. But Magnus is here, and Cisco has hot cocoa and he's coming down from the adrenaline of that near miss, and he feels like he might as well. ]

There's... other stuff I can do, too. I can- I don't really know what to call it. Shoot these sort of blasts from my hands? I've only done it a couple times, though.
