The Flash: Being Cisco’s sibling and having a complicated relationship with Barry Allen.
This is follow up part of what’s it like dating Barry Allen, since I feel like it’s too long and mostly focuses on your relationship with Cisco.
You were a big fan of the Flash since he was known as the streak.
Most importantly, you were Y/n Ramon, also known as Cisco’s sibling. Also, to much like him, you were a meta human whom received your powers at the first particle accelerator explosion, alongside Barry Allen after visiting your brother.
Due to the nature of your brother’s work, you knew Barry was a meta human, and that his powers required study at the time due to the shift in his metabolism and such.
Your relationship was strained since Cisco seemed to dismiss the fact that like his newly bff, you were also a meta human with power’s that seemed to change your physiology. This was also why you began to resent Barry.
The most noticeable change was in the way your body reacted when you heard loud sounds and some frequencies. It made your body shiver uncontrollably, with chills and sparks traveling around you, it made you in a way want to become undone, or so you felt. Also, it was the fact that under stressful, and anxious situations some parts of your body tended to melt into unformed mass, it was all due to the fact that you were a shifter, both in changing shapes, extending your body, and changing forms to that of another person.
One day your mother and older brother Dante tricked you into meeting your brother, saying that he was having problems and stooped communicating with them. You sighed in defeat quickly, knowing that it was the more appropriate turn of events in case if anything happened, you were to have an advantage due to you meta powers.
To your surprise, and much to your brother, everything was fine, if anything you were freaking out at the sight of the Flash in S.T.A.R. labs, completely ignoring the fact that either Caitlyn, Harrison Wells, Joe and Iris were there. Although you weren’t acquainted with the last two.
After Cisco asking what we’re you doing there, you told them of what your mom and brother told you, coming to the obvious realization that you were tricked into going to him, in hopes of fixing your relationship.
You decided to leave after knowing you wasted your time for nothing and the excitement of being near the Flash causing the the lower part of your face to melt, but he stopped you im your tracks, in an awkward way, knowing completely that he’s been neglecting you for almost a year after the incident. Not even talking through the phone or even a text.
Trying not to show your brother what was happening turned into Flash noticing this particularity of yours, coming to you after apologizing to interrupting the conversation asking if you were okay.
Cisco noticed, and he asked what happened, you gave a lazy but to the point answer of why that happened, stating that Flash seemed to care more about your well-being than your actual blood related brother would. The latter let an "ouch" with a noticeable hurt expression.
After that, Flash encouraged you to talk things out, to which you did since it came mostly from him. Cisco took you to Jitters, paying for everything, noticing that you also were a big eater, and quickly regretting his decision.
You laid out the fact that you felt abandoned and neglected by him after the particle accelerator explosion, and when you meta human powers surfaced. How you hated the fact that he gave his attention to Barry who was not even his friend at the time, and how you despised Allen for it too.
He was taken a back, surprised mostly at the fact that his sibling who was not a person that harbored any negative emotions to anyone, was capable of expressing with great detail what he felt, how and why. He apologized, explaining how he became absorbed with his work after almost coming close to loosing his job after the explosion, that was his only hope at the moment.
You understood, and forgave him, with the condition to make up for lost time, meanwhile he made it thing better with and more importantly for you.
You stayed with Cisco for a few months, you became fairly close with the team, except with one who seemed to try his hardest to be on your good side. It was nine other than Barry, which you didn’t understood what he had to offer with the team, but you thought it had to do something with his actual job, and didn’t question much due to the fact that you weren’t in the lab when the Flash was out and about saving people.
After talking things with Cisco, you came to terms with the fact that you weren’t capable of liking Barry, not at the moment or the foreseeable future.
Everything changed when they revealed Flash’s true identity as Barry Allen, the emotions it stir up made most of you body to completely melt. After a few breaths , you gathered yourself both emotionally and physically, while you took a minute to process.
To say that the news weren’t a shock to you was a complete lie, but the more you thought about it you saw the similarities and you cursed your limited brain for not piecing things together.
Your thoughts shifted to the opposite direction you wanted, since you wanted to hate Barry, but you couldn’t, not after knowing that the cause of what made you and your brother’s relationship to become so distant. Was to forge a hero who’d had saved countless lives. And so you ultimately apologized to both Barry and Cisco for your behavior for the last year, but they told you that they were sorry that they had to kept that secret from you, and that it harmed you in the way it did.
Although you were on good terms with Barry you still didn’t talk to him like you did to the team, and after everything, a part of you decided not to get close to him, but alas, fate had other plans.
While trying to fight a villain, and rescue citizens at the same time. He requested your help since you had a certain degree of control with your powers. You were hesitant but accepted after words of encouragement from everyone.
Even if you were inexperienced saving people, you did well for a beginner while Flash fought. Using you shifting habilities to stretch and take out civilians from possible dangers, but while you did that, the villain took out a noise bomb that made everyone fall into their knees, but to you, it made you fall to the ground as you experienced an intense chills and sparks in your body while the loud ringing made you forget of the outside world and also making you body molt.
Flash quickly adjusted himself, putting some noise canceling and wrapped his fight once and for all. Quickly taking you to S.T.A.R. labs for a check up.
Caitlyn took you biometrics, and signaled that you were fine, even if you were unconscious at the moment.
When you wake up, instead of seeing a worried brother, you saw an awful look of guilt in Barry´s eyes.
When he saw you awake and grunting, he bombarde you with questions regarding your well-being, and you assure him you were okay now.
He expressed how he felt so guilty of your current conditions, regretting exposing you to danger when you weren’t prepared and how things could’ve escalated for worse.
You stood up, placing your hands on each side of his face, gathering his full attention while you reassured him once and again hoe everything was fine thanks to him.
He came to terms with things, and after noticing finally the position you were in you both jerk away awkwardly as Cisco soon walked in. Questioning the reason why both of you were being weird.
That was what opened pandora’s box, since then, you two had been getting close, but not in a friend way, and the way you interacted weirded Cisco out so much.
