[ Cisco has met someone who called himself a mutant before - someone who just happened to be able to manipulate metal. The fact that Charles mentions that as an example seems like it can't be a coincidence. But he doesn't bring it up - he agreed not to say anything about Erik and that includes to people who are probably from his world, as far as Cisco's concerned. ]
wait, coming here altered your ability to access your powers? that's so weird. i know a couple people with powers, and none of us have been affected by this place. maybe your telepathy has something to do with your brain interpreting signals that are affected by the air molecules around you, and since different versions of reality vibrate at different frequencies, you're not used to it. that'd explain why you have to be so much closer...
[ He can't help being curious, wondering if he could come up with something like his own goggles that might help this guy to use his powers like normal. Then again... he might not actually want that. Not being able to hear anything unless the other person is in the room with him and wants him to hear it might be an unlooked-for blessing. ]
since you were a kid... damn. so you've had a while to get used to it.
[ In some ways that seems preferable to his own situation. But on second thought, Cisco isn't so sure. He can't imagine what it would have been like if he'd had to grow up dealing with having a power, keeping it hidden, learning to control it while he was learning who he was and what his place was in the world. ]
really? you mean it? i mean maybe it won't work - i'm not really sure it's possible for me to block out the visions entirely - but if i could do it even a third of the time.... my life would be a lot easier.
