Meanwhile, back at Star Labs. Cisco decided to try to use his new ability. Even if he didn't like it, he had to do his best, he couldn't sit idly by. Even though he didn't know how his new power worked, he already had some ideas. He was the only one who could do anything in this situation, so he took a chance. With a long exhale, the guy touched the sand that belonged to the Sand Demon. As soon as he did so, he was immediately overwhelmed by this strange feeling and found himself in an unknown place. He started to look around to see where he was, to find some clue about this place. But as soon as he started to do so, he immediately stopped. The scene in front of him was quite interesting..... There were two people in the room. A girl that was tied to a chair and a tall man in unusual armor. Cisco immediately realized who it was, it was definitely Hunger. Barry had talked about his unusual costume, and as a lover of inventing things, Cisco of course wanted to look at this unusual armor. Ramon had mixed opinions about this guy, on the one hand he was a killer, but on the other hand, his abilities, the suit, it was all very interesting... But Cisco didn't just see these two, right in front of the man in armor was a pile of sand. It wasn't hard for Cisco to figure out what happened...
"He finished him off..." - Cisco didn't dare to be distracted and continued to watch. But what happened next threw the guy into a stupor. Famine took off his helmet and turned around, and his face....
"No way, Hunter?!" - Cisco couldn't believe his eyes. The guy he thought he knew pretty well turned out to be him.... Over the past six months, Cisco had had a few drinks with him and they'd had some good times at the bar.
Of the entire Flash team, Cisco was the only one who hadn't seen Hunter's true appearance, even Caitlin had told them about her dealings with him. The others had been outraged that she'd hidden it, but later they'd realized it and calmed down. But Ramon had only heard about him, so now the guy was in deep shock.
"He's been around all this time and I didn't even know it. Damn, he tricked me!" - Even though he was annoyed, Ramon continued to watch.
Turning around to face the bound girl, Hunter grinned:
«Bound girl, what am I supposed to do with you?
When the man looked at her, the blonde shuddered involuntarily. The man's gaze was like a shock through her body. She didn't know what it meant, so she frowned and asked:
«Who are you? Are you with him?
Hunter grinned, and began to walk slowly toward the girl, keeping his gaze on her. The look made her uncomfortable, and a shiver ran through her body. She didn't understand what was going on, who was he? Why did she feel like this?
Cisco grinned crookedly. He'd seen it before. Hunter had shown him his unique ability before, during another drinking session. Cisco hadn't paid much attention to it at the time because he was drunk. Hunter had told him that an alpha male could always "get" what he needed. He used a similar look on the waitress to prove it, and within minutes she was easily charmed by him. Cisko hadn't given it much thought at the time, so Hunter might have been lucky, and his looks weren't bad. He probably didn't need any abilities to get that girl. But now that he's sober and watching that blonde's reaction. It makes sense now. Maybe it's a meta power.
A little envious, Cisco continued to watch. But at that moment, he felt a jolt and was pushed out of the place.
"Haa, time's up..." - Ramon exhaled heavily. He had learned what he wanted, though he was a little regretful that he couldn't see it through to the end. But what now, the Sand Demon was dead, tell them about Hunter?
Shaking his head, Cisco realized it was useless. How would he explain everything? And what would be the point?
"Okay, now that I know who you are, I can find out more," deciding to gather more information on Hunger, Cisco headed to the main hall, informing the others of Patty Spivot's whereabouts.

Abandoned Greenhouse.
I stepped closer to the girl and asked with a smile:
«So, what am I supposed to do with you?
The girl blushed slightly and looked away:
«M-maybe. Will you let me go?
I scratched my chin and said:
«Maybe, but you want to know something about Mardon?
As soon as I asked, all her nervousness quickly evaporated and she looked at me intently:
«What are you talking about?
"Wow, it looks like this is really important to her..." - I grinned inwardly, reaching out and breaking the ropes that bound her.
* Tresk *
«Ha... Thanks... - The girl twirled her arms and stood up. I smiled and started to walk away. She was silent for a while, and then she asked me:
«What do you know about Mardon?
I stopped and turned around.
*♪ Vjjn ♪
Teleporting behind her back I whispered ominously in the girl's ear:
«I ate it...
She flinched and bounced away:
«W-what?! You ate it?!
I grinned:
«That's right, look for yourself.
*♪ Hoo-hoo ♪
A large chunk of ice formed on my hand. I tossed it toward the girl.....
*♪ Clap ♪
He caught it in surprise and her hands shook.
«So you-- You're-- Hungry?
«That's right.
The girl fell silent, after which her eyes glazed over. It was a rather strange reaction... She stood like that for about a minute, after which she let go of the ice and pulled herself together. Then she smiled sadly and said quietly:
«Thank you...
I certainly wasn't expecting this. Hmm, I did the revenge she wanted to do, so I guess it's okay, I guess.... I stood there for a few seconds, not sure what to say.
Raising an eyebrow, I asked:
«Aren't you afraid I'll eat you too?
The girl tensed:
«Uh, aren't you supposed to only eat criminals?
I grinned and started to move closer to her:
«Not always... Sometimes, I eat the ones that are tasty enough.....
She backed away panicked and backed into the wall.
I walked up close and began to stare.
The girl got nervous and looked away:
«Uh. Look, maybe you shouldn't. I swear I won't tell anyone about you, okay?
I squinted my eyes and said:
«Let's see...
I took one last look at her and stepped back:
«Well, I hope you keep your word and I didn't kill Mardon for nothing, see you later Detective.
*♪ Wjnnn ♪
As soon as I teleported away from the building, I immediately noticed a bright flash. Barry was almost there in time, what a good boy.....
I didn't think it would go down like this. The Sand Demon was entertaining, and the girl was quite nice.... Judging by her heartbeat, Mardon's death hit her, but I'm not sure in what way. But judging by her smile, she was glad. Hmm, well, revenge is sometimes useful too, even if it was carried out for you. Having some connections with the police would be nice, so this case wasn't useless. Even if she decided to blab about me, no one would believe her. What's she gonna say? She was kidnapped by a guy who turns into sand and then rescued by an ogre who turns out to be the director of a newly formed company? That would be weird... I grinned and headed for my house.
