	You've reached: CISSSSCOOOOOOO RAMOOOOOOON*. I'm off doing something more interesting than answering the phone, so you know what to do after the beep!
ｖｏｉｃｅ － ｔｅｘｔ － ｖｉｄｅｏ － ａｃｔｉｏｎ

[ *Said in an echoing voice not matching the rest of the message, much like an announcer in a stadium.
In fact it's an audio clip of Barry Allen's voice that Cisco has pieced into the rest of his outgoing message. ]

[ There's a very long pause, not just at the Caitlin reference (because wow she's never gonna see that film the same way twice) but also at what she's been told about the League. So Batman was the one who reached out, and in turn, the one who dismissed her.

Whoever this guy is, he must know what he's doing. ]

That's what I figured, if it was all hush-hush. [ Note to future Iris: articles may earn this guy's wrath. Keep research on the DL. ] But if you believe they're the real deal - and I mean, the other Mick Rory certainly does - then I'm going to believe it too.

[ Because at the end of the day, that's her primary concern. She knows the risks involved in heroism, and she's seen those risks first-hand every day. She just... also worries more than she should. ]

But hey, I mean, as far as I'm concerned Team Flash is still top priority, and you are a solid member of that, so...

[ So don't feel left out? Is kind of his point? ]

[ she sighs, ] Cisco. I'm not upset that I wasn't chosen. I was just worried about the possibility that Batman may not be who he says he is - and that the League may not be either.

[ Iris wouldn't call herself paranoid after Zoom's grand reveal, just... cautious. Wanting to make sure her boys don't make the same mistake, time after time. ]

That's why I asked you. Trust me, I know we'll always be a team.

your Iris is so perfect sorry this took so long

[picksthenames]

[ Cisco's relieved. Of course Iris didn't feel threatened. Iris is a badass. Her importance was never in question. ]

No, I get it. As for Batman... He's a little paranoid, I'll admit, but he comes highly recommended. He knows his shit. But...

I'll keep my eye on him. [ He's been burned too many times to trust that easily. First Eobard, then Zoom. If there's a chance Batman isn't as heroic as he claims to be, Cisco has to be on watch. ]

aw thanks!! It's all good, life happens ❤️

[eloquentness]

Thanks. That's all I can really ask, and for all I know, I could be completely wrong.

[ Third time's the charm, right? Maybe this guy is legit, and so is the League, and they're worrying over nothing. Better than the alternative. ]

If that's the case? Then we can celebrate with extra ice cream.

❤️

[picksthenames]

And if you're not wrong, we'll commiserate with ice cream and brownies. Either way, it's a win-win.

[eloquentness]

Exactly. [ she laughs, ] Let's just hope it doesn't come down to the latter.
