[ It's an automatic, entirely unconvincing response. But, when Cisco opens his eyes again, he sees the person who is working the booth (who is not, he realizes, the one who had snuck into their labs. Does he even know he's selling stolen tech?) looking at him with concern. That gives him reason enough to nod to Tony's suggestion, and begin walking away with him, towards the door leading out. ]
I can help with JARVIS if you want. It's just a headache.
[ He's a little shaky, but there's a sense of satisfaction beginning to spread through his chest. He'd done it. He'd controlled his powers, pushed himself, used them to get information that was vital. All he needs is more practice, and he could do this more - use it to help people. ]
A sting operation. Love it. I can get Eddie to show up and have some of his cop buddies on standby to haul the guy away. Better see if we can make some goggle versions of that anti-invisibility tech. In case he runs for it.
[ Cisco thinks about leaving it there, not mentioning the fact that both of them know - that Tony has dealt with this before, that it had led to, from the little Cisco knows, some pretty terrible stuff in his life. Will he make things worse, bringing it up? But then, there's no way Tony hasn't already thought it. Better to not pretend ignorance. ]
We'll fix this, Tony. I promise. Your tech's not gonna be in the wrong hands again. We'll track it all down.
