[...He'd picked his username when they pulled him here because superheroes and people on the internet have one thing in common: secret identities. He'd also kind of assumed there wouldn't be any actual Avengers here. So he'd given them his wiki-editing handle, and he maybe regrets it a lot now, but at least he can make this post without his real name attached, or he probably wouldn't make it at all.]

Just a question, but if you knew someone here could tell you about your future... would you ask them about it? Would you want to know, or not? Would it make a difference if they seemed pretty uncomfortable about it?

[He's not sure he does want to know, honestly. But at the same time, Billy is being just a little weird about it, and maybe knowing would be better, in case he lets it slip later anyway. He just can't decide.]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it is what it is.

that makes sense. i suppose you can't MAKE any of them tell you the truth, but you can at least say that if they're worried about the timeline it doesn't seem to matter, and if they're worried about your feelings that your imagination is just gonna make up horrible possibilities to fill in the gap. it's that simple.

You make it sound simple, and I know I need to just talk to him, but I'm not sure it's going to be that easy. I don't know how Billy will take a conversation like that.

billy kaplan?

[ It's a slim chance, but Cisco's only met one guy named Billy since he arrived, and it's not actually the most common name around, so maybe... ]

i know it isn't that simple
stuff never really is.

[...Ooops. It's true not many people really go by that name, but he didn't think he'd be talking to someone who knew Billy.]

On the small chance he won't see this, don't tell him I let that slip?

Even the stuff that seems easy always ends up coming with a price, right?

[franciscoramon]

oh, no worries.
we're not tight or anything i've just met him a couple times.
seems like a great dude.

truth.

[notasaviour]

He is. I don't think he always gets that himself, but he really is amazing. I don't think a couple of years would have changed that, either.
