Post[edit | hide | hide all]
Jesse, Wells' Einstein of a daughter, has been bummed out about being stuck on Earth-One, and her negative energy has thrown my chi seriously out of whack. So, I decided to show her just how awesome this world could be. Introducing, Cisco's Central City Sightseeing Tour! Check us out on Yelp. Now, this wasn't going to be just any tour (no buses or megaphones here). I had to make it interesting, so I amped up some Segways with a couple Kawasaki 4-cylinder supercharged engines Wally hooked me up with. It took some teeth pulling to get Jesse to go - tourism wasn't high on her to-do list - and she was even less thrilled when I brought out matching retro helmets complete with goggles and leather chinstrap. Safety first, kids!
Central City is jam-packed with hotspots: we've got museums, restaurants, skate parks, and clubs galore. As we zigzagged our way through the streets, I tossed out all kinds of trivia I snagged from some books I had checked out on Central City's history – but Jesse couldn't care less about the revolutionary installation of the sewer system back in the 1900s. My efforts at cheering her up were failing miserably! I had to do some quick thinking. When I was younger, I basically lived at the CC Arcade – who doesn't love a good video game?! I rerouted us to the old strip mall, grabbed a couple of orange sodas and exchanged a crisp fifty for a bucket o' quarters. Turns out, Jesse is a total boss at video games. She wiped out my high score on Q*bert on her first try, and she knew every secret move to Mortal Kombat. I challenged her to Street Fighter II, but her Blanka knocked out my Ryu in under two minutes! After an hour at the arcade, Jesse was over it - nothing was challenging enough for her - and she ditched me. I was so wrapped up in Dance Dance Revolution (Bust a Move is my JAM) that I didn't even notice her jumping on her ride and speeding away. I only noted she was gone when I twisted my ankle trying to pull a Michael Jackson spin and had to take a breather. I dashed to my ride and tailed her. She led quite the chase (for real, this could've been featured on Hot Pursuit) and I kicked myself for souping up the Segways with such powerful engines – these babies are hardly street legal!
