[ As soon as Billy says he doesn't remember him, Cisco's smile drops away. It takes a few moments for that information to actually sink in. Cisco's heard of this kind of thing happening before. Rey had told him about it, when it had happened with Poe. But it's never been someone he actually knew.
His first instinct - which he's not really proud of - is suspicion. This could be Billy, returned but without his memories. Or it could be a Billy from a slightly different version of reality than the one Cisco had known. But it could also be a shapeshifter, of the same sort as Hannibal Bates. Or even someone like Eobard Thawne, who had used god knows what technology to transform himself into the shape of Harrison Wells. ]
That's, uh. Wow.
[ He rubs at the back of his neck, feeling awkward and alarmed but trying to muster up a smile. After another moment's hesitation, he holds out a hand for Billy (?) to shake. ]
