[ Cisco laughs softly, shaking his head a little, surprised by the question. In his estimation, he hadn't even begun to help Ronan or Adam an excessive amount. It's nothing like the way he'd thrown himself into helping Barry, given endless hours to making Team Flash great, to looking for potential threats. But he can tell Adam means it, so he gives a little shrug and admits: ]
Oh, sure. All the time. If it's dangerous. Or I didn't volunteer in the first place. Or if people act super condescending about it. Or if it's something really tedious and boring.
[ But, the implication clearly goes, if none of those things are true, then no, he doesn't ever get tired of doing things for other people. It's just a part of who he is. Cisco's not even necessarily conscious of it, of how much time he spends dedicated to making other people's lives better. Sometimes he does it with moral support, sometimes with a well-timed joke, sometimes with tech, sometimes with advice... it's just what he does. ]
Well, I can do a few tips, too. And a motivational speech, as a bonus. Let's see. Hmmm... try to train as consistently as you can. Make it a habit for a while. Try to figure out if there's anything that influences your powers - if you're drawing energy from a source, if there are particular emotional triggers, if it leaves you with any sort of after-effects that might give you a clue how it works. I'd say definitely have a separate space that you just use for training. There's rooms you can rent at the gym, you know, where they do martial arts classes and pilates or whatever sometimes. Those are a pretty good bet for privacy and... you can just bring in some potted plants or whatever to work with. And most importantly: never train alone. You should always have someone there, like Ronan or really anybody, in case things get complicated. 'Cause sometimes, they do, and it's best to have backup.
[ There's more advice he could give, but he figures, a little bit at the time. If Adam wanted to handle this on his own, he should at least follow those first guidelines. ]
He seemed pretty damn set against any kind of tests. Couldn't tell if it was a Ronan thing or a 'I'm in the hospital all full of IVs and already feel kind of like a lab rat' sort of situational thing.
