[ Eddie is absolutely going to hear about all of this. If there are any strings he can pull Cisco's sure he will pull them, and do what he can to help them figure out the truth. But all of that will take time, and patience, and a better poker face than Cisco thinks he has.
Then, it hits him. The frown on his face softens, and he looks over to Tony, frustration and anger replaced with sudden realization. He lowers his voice, leaning in to say: ]
Or... you could cover for me, and I could try to get us some information in a different way.
[ And he raises a hand, waggling his fingers in a way that will (hopefully) will remind Tony of the fact that Cisco isn't just an engineer: he has powers. Powers that let him see stuff he shouldn't be able to see. His heart is beating fast, and he's nervous. They're in the middle of public, after all, and it might look suspicious, him just touching these machines, zoning out for stretches of time. It's not a guarantee, but it's an option. And maybe the best one they've got. ]
Should I go for it? I've been practicing a lot, and I'm pissed enough it shouldn't take much. I just - I'd need you to make sure nobody paid too much attention to me.
