Golden Glider

Len had many coping mechanisms to deal surg the things that bothered him, but this strange kind of earnestness was something that only showed when it was serious. And the last time he'd looked almost exactly like this had been after he'd gone to visit Barry Allen, only to find him gone. Vanished.

And while Lisa might not understand entirely why it was that the little nerd's disappearance bothered her brother, she knew him well enough to realise that there was much, much more to it. She had her suspicions, but had so far kept those to herself.

If her brother wanted to keep that secret to himself, he had his reasons.

“Cisco…” she purred, drawing out his name into a few additional syllables as she tilted her head into her raised shoulder, coy smile still in place. “I thought I had made myself clear.”

A single, perfectly manicured nail followed the trail her fingers had taken back down as she leaned forward, close enough for warm breath to ghost across lips. “Smart” she said. “is sexy.”

The shake of his head was rather vigourous. “No, no, clear! Just, you know the scientific method is to question multiple times, in different ways, to see if you’re going to get a different result and make sure that it’s not just a fluke, aaaand I’m gonna shut up now,” he rambled.

“You’d get a hello if you’d said goodbye.” she quipped, mouth drawing down into a mock pout before she couldn’t quite help the little smile that tugged on the corner of her lips. It had been years since either of them had owed the other an explanation of where they were. 

(Didn’t mean she wasn’t glad to see him back, all in one piece)

“Boring. Your little hero friend keeps the city too quiet.”

“Sorry about that one. Something came up out of the blue,” he explained with a wave of his hand, “It’s all taken care of.” If he’d had the time beforehand he would have told her before leaving but now that everything was taken care of he intended to keep it at that.
