SEVEN:
the one where she's shook

"This is awesome," Bibiana commented. She had a wire in her hand, sending pulses of electricity through it. It soothed her so she didn't have to think about her scenes or hallucinations.

"Pretty amazing, isn't it?" Barry asked.

"Still can't believe what I'm looking at," Jay added.

Bibiana rolled her eyes and continue to send pulses of energy. They had to remain at a constant volume of voltage or else she would fry the wire.

"52 breaches in Central City and the biggest one just happens to be in our basement," Barry commented.

"Seems kinda fishy," Bibiana stated.

"We need a name for it," Cisco told them.

"It's not a pet, Cisco," Caitlin said.

"If people can have rocks as pets, I'm sure Cisco can have a breach as a pet," Bibiana argued.

"No, it's a wormhole," Stein told them. Bibiana quickly turned around. A bright spark of electricity almost fried the wire before she gained control again.

"Professor Stein, what are you doing?" Caitlin asked. They were precautious with Stein since he almost died on them. "Your blood pressure is 147 over 82! You could pass out again."

"Oh, it's merely a few points above the 140 average for someone my age," Stein argued. "Besides, I have some ideas I would like to contribute to this discussion, Dr. Snow."

"And I want to hear them," Jay told Stein. "This isn't just a wormhole. It's my way home."

"Back to Earth-Two," Caitlin stated.

"When I signed up to be a hero. Nowhere in the fine print did it say that time travel and dimensions to other earths were involved," Bibiana commented. She stopped messing around with the wire and shoved it into her pocket. Her eyes slowly drifted to Barry. She would never admit it out loud but Barry looks good in a flannel with a sweater over it.

"Bibiana, this is a serious moment," Cisco told her. Her face was immediately confused as she turned to look at Cisco. "Keep it in your pants until you and Barry are in a room alone."

"W-what?" Bibiana asked confused.

"You said it out loud," Caitlin answered. Bibiana thought about it before she realized what she said.

What helped her was that Barry's face was as red as hers and he was looking down at his outfit.

Barry cleared his throat and changed the subject to save Bibiana from embarrassment.

"Jay, you really think that we can use this as some kind of bridge from your world to ours?" Barry asked while motioning to the wormhole.

"Zoom uses the breaches. Why can't we?" Jay said.

"We don't know how," Cisco replied. "Everything I put through just bounces back."

"Here's an example," Bibiana stated. She pulled out a rock from her pocket that had a picture of a spider on it. The girl was really hesitant about having to carry around but she immediately threw it into the breach.

The rock came flying back and almost hit Bibiana in the head if Barry didn't catch it with his speed.

"If Zoom's using these breaches to transport people from Earth-Two, maybe it takes a speedster," Barry suggested. He ran towards the back.

"He's not gonna-" Cisco started.

"Yeah, he is," Jay finished the sentence.

"This is going to end up worse than my rock," Bibiana stated. Barry ran towards it and was knocked back. He rolled all over the floor, grunting until he stopped.

"Maybe I'm not fast enough," Barry commented.

"I don't believe your speed is the entirety of the issue, Barry," Stein responded. "It might be the breach's stability or lack thereof."

"He's right," Jay agreed. "We need to think of the breach as a door, and on Earth-Two, there's another door. In between, we have a hallway, but the hallway's constantly shifting, twisting, collapsing upon itself."

"And the doors keep moving with it," Barry added.

"Sounds like Kai trying to find the bathroom," Bibiana commented.

"So we stabilize the door, we stabilize the hallway," Cisco observed.

"And then I can jump through it," Barry noted.

"Exactly, it would serve as a kind of cannon," Jay explained. "A speed cannon."

"Mm. We should hang out more," Cisco told Jay.

"All right. No more tests today," Stein announced. "All of you are leaving now, as am I. Cherish the gift of youth as I will go cherish my much-needed nap. Clarissa's already on her way to pick me up."

"I want a nap," Bibiana admitted. She stretched as she followed everyone out.

"Really? I would think you would want to do something else in bed with Barry," Cisco replied.

"You're right. I want to nap while he watches Criminal Minds on his phone," Bibiana shot back. Barry grabbed her hand.

"Hey guys, we'll catch up with you in a bit," Barry told them.

"No quickies!" Caitlin yelled while the rest of the group continued to walk.

Once they were out of earshot, Barry turned to look at Bibiana.

"One day you are pushing me away and then the next day you're saying something different. So what's up?" Barry asked.

"A weird near-death experience." And horrible hallucinations where everyone I love dies.

"Oh, but what happened before?" Barry asked again. He was referring when Bibiana had all of a sudden snapped.

"Stress, lack of sleep, and comparing two people that shouldn't be compared," Bibiana answered.

"All right, four Flashes and one Electric Storm," Barry told the group of friends. Bibiana immediately grabbed the coffee named after herself. "Be careful -- apparently, they are super-caffeinated. First I have a day named after me. Now I have a drink."

"Well, all the things you do, rebuilding this place, protecting people -- everyone's appreciative, right?" Iris asked.

"Totally," Bibiana agreed. She didn't feel like she deserved a drink named after her. But she didn't want to say anything about so she looked at her chipped blue nail polish.

"Mm-hmm, I'll drink to that," Cisco said.

"Hey, you guys think Professor Stein is okay, right?" Caitlin asked worried. "I mean, Clarissa would call if there was anything wrong."

"Yeah."

"Totally." Both Iris and Bibiana agreed.

"All right. I'm just gonna call and check in," Caitlin informed them. "I'll be back."

As she left, Barry said; "I don't see that call going well."

"Young lady, these repeated intrusions are interrupting what should be a speedy recov—" Cisco stopped mid-impression of Professor Stein because he bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Don't apologize," said Lisa Snart. "You can bump into me any day, Cisco."

"Lisa Snart," Cisco spoke. "You here to double-cross us again, or you and your big bro holding up coffee shops now?"

Bibiana took a sip of her coffee like it was none of her business. Well technically it was but Lisa didn't know that.

"I need your help," Lisa told Cisco. Bibiana chocked on her coffee causing attention to be drawn on her.

"Should've blown on my coffee like it was soup," Bibiana muttered, acting like the drink was hot.

"In your dreams, Sister Cold. You know I could call The Flash or Electric Storm. He'd be here in like two seconds — probably one. Electric Storm would be here in 30 seconds," Cisco warned her.

"Call them," Lisa told Cisco.

"Oh, okay. I'm gonna call him. Mh-hmm," Cisco said. When Lisa didn't stop him, Cisco really thought about it. Bibiana pulled out her phone and was ready to redirect the call. "You really want me to call The Flash? Electric Storm too?"

"I need their help too," Lisa answered. Bibiana slowly started to put her phone down. "My brother's been kidnapped."

The great Leonard Snart was kidnapped. Captain Cold himself. Ohhh, Bibiana had to give credit to the kidnappers since Leonard was hard to capture.
