[ The transmission starts with the stuffed chihuahua dead center. ]

I see now what you mean about not celebrating Christmas if these gifts are any evidence of that.

[ In retaliation to M's gift, later in the day, he'll find a soft package on his doorstep containing a t-shirt and a gift certificate to buy another one from the same site. A card of an anthropomorphised Christmas tree singing "Tis the Season" contains a note in Cisco's messy scrawl reading: "Live a little! P.S. Found this in the "violence" category on their site. See? It's not all cartoons!" as well as his signature. ]

I found the chihuahua.

[ Can you hear his tiny stern glare? CAN YOU? ]

[ The feed opens up with a nice view of Bucky's hands, stricken with several band-aids across his fingers and a few over his palms. ]

So I know I said you'd be the first to hear about my progress, but Dick kinda jumped the line a bit, sorry. He seemed pretty impressed I have to say.

Anyway, I nicked myself more times than I figured...

[ Yep. That's it, that's the transmission. A yapping boy who wants attention from the cool adults. ]

Do you know where to find me some bears?
Dick said if anyone could, it would be you

Am I really a twink?

[ The communicator is facing toward the wall. Why is it facing the wall? Because Barry thinks that enhances the threatening effect that his vibrating voice can occasionally achieve.

Spoilers: It's not very effective and yet he's going to try it anyway because Cisco is important to him. ]

What exactly are your intentions with Cisco Ramon?

So hey, do your implants work on recordings? The being able to see people's moves in a fight before they make them ones. Cause I was thinking maybe a movie with some gratuitous violence, but if you're just gonna be able to see the whole thing play out before it happens...

[ The fogginess from the drugs and the panic of the situation meant it took Cisco way longer than it should've to stop and take stock of what he's got to work with. But after managing a couple hours of restless sleep on a hard metal floor, packed in between the other kidnapped imPorts, he's awake enough to remember his newly-accquired smartmark. Shuffling off to a corner away from the bars and the guards, he tries to establish contact. ]

Asset 1 request connect... Come on, please work.

Well Dick's been kidnapped

[ WAY TO GO DICK! God. ]

[ Cisco's jammed into a corner of the cell, trying to stay as far away from the stinking closet of a bathroom, and from whatever commotion people are causing at the guards this time. He's beyond exhausted, physically, but the problem with being as smart as Cisco, but with nothing to do, is that his brain never shuts up. Which means staying focused on getting his nanites to stably connect to the network, something he's still not practiced at anyway, is hard.

Luckily, he's got another way to talk to someone other than his cellmates. ]

I'm bored
Let's go do something

You didn't tell me I died.

[Anything but text would give away how not okay he is. So text it is.]

Hey M. Do you have a minute?

You do know how to show a man a good time.

As per your recommendation I am preparing this Schlachteplatte dish. Either the mind behind this dish was incredibly fond of phallic imagery or my own is just very dirty.

Either way, I figured I might offer you the distinguished honor of being the taste tester.

[Now that Thor is on the premises, Loki might not have the time for peaceful meals.]

I promised I would call you when I had some free time, didn't I?

Hey, M. Do you have a minute?

Thoughts?

Normally I am very good about tracking people down on the sly [without them knowing, because he's a total creeper like that and he really didn't want to hand deliver any of his gifts] but you are off the grid.

[He sounds and looks very impressed.]

Nice answering machine message.

You want info, right? I need an extra set of hands to beat up mobsters.

So, uh... it may have occurred to me that I haven't talked to you since things went sideways a few months ago.

[ Which sucks. Is he a bad friend? He's kind of a bad friend. ]

Which is kiiiinda shitty of me. So consider this an olive branch? I'd tell you to let me buy you a drink but, uh, all things considered, that might not be the way to go. Aaaaanyhoo - lemme know if you wanna, like, talk or whatever.

[ Cool message, Magnus. You tried. ]

[The one downside to having a boyfriend who lives in a inter-dimensional apartment is the inability to show up unannounced. After talking to Archie and hearing some of the terrible stuff this clone of his has been spewing, he can't even imagine the amount of damage control he's going to have to do if M had been targeted as well. But there's only one way to find out.]

Hey M. I need to see you. Can you send a door?

[That's...casual enough. Just in case everything is fine.]
