What's next?

Good news

It was a day before she met Cisco again. He breached to the spot just outside her room, waiting for her to come back after a day working on the opposite side of the multiverse to the one that had seen her naked. Unconsciously, she adjusted her jacket, making sure she was still decent.

"Hey," he said. "You good?"

"Just tell me it's been shut off by now," Gypsy said.

"Yeah. Figured out how after a bit," Cisco said.

He stammered slightly. Gypsy frowned.

"A bit?" she said. "How long did it take?"

"Um..."

"Cisco, how long did it play for?!"

"It looped. Twice. Three times. Definitely not more than four..."

Gypsy's cheeks burned. That was a good reminder of why she was never going to set foot on that Earth again, the whole city would have seen her.

"What happened?" Gypsy said.

"Turns out the forcefields didn't protect it from temperature changes," Cisco said. "Caitlin was able to wreck the cube. You can have it back if you want, though I don't know what it's worth."

"That's... a relief," Gypsy said.

"Yeah. Relief," Cisco said.

They hung out for a few minutes more, before Cisco was called away back to his Earth. Gypsy walked back to her room slowly.

At least that whole mess was over. Still, the holidays were coming up again, and Cisco had now lost his apparently much-watched gift for last year, so... She was grateful he had at least tried to help her last night, and had ultimately managed to get it shut off.

Maybe she could record another. The recording itself wasn't too bad. Plus she could shell out a bit extra to have a biometric passcode so no one except Cisco would be able to unlock and view it, which would prevent anything like that happening again.

Gypsy paused. She stood up, first locking her door, then walking back to her wardrobe, and then right at the back of her wardrobe, behind several layers of coats and clothes and behind a false back. A few special outfits hung up there.

Recording a replacement wasn't the worst idea in the world. After all, what could possibly go wrong?
