I hope he did. It would suck if all of us were having bad days...
[ When Lucretia speaks like normal, despite his warning, Cisco widens his eyes at her, wondering if perhaps the gesture didn't translate. But, no, it's clear from what she says she understood him. She just doesn't believe him. Her disbelief doesn't earn his suspicion, however. He knows she's doing her best, that he can trust her, absolutely.
So he swallows, giving a nod and tucking his hair back. ]
Right. The flower. Shit. Yeah, uh, lemme show you the modifications I've been making on my gauntlets...
[ He goes to grab them, returning a little too quickly to stand near to Lucretia. He doesn't say anything, but his gaze still flicks up, at the light fixture. How can they be sure it isn't bugged? His skin is crawling at the uncertainty, but he does his best to ignore it. ]
I'm refining these so I can use my vibe blasts to defend myself without, like, killing anybody or knocking a building over or any of that. It's based on some of the tech I use in the power-nullifying handcuffs, except this is adjustable, so I can change the settings, you know, give it 10% power, 20%, whatever. The problem is I keep overloading them. I'm trying to- to modify them so that even when...
[ Cisco trails off, letting out a shuddering sigh and covering his eyes with one hand. He'd thought he would feel better, in here, enclosed and in familiar surroundings, but he doesn't. He hadn't been safe back in S.T.A.R. Labs, and he isn't safe here. Safe isn't a thing that even exists. ]
I know that it's just the flower but I still feel like somebody's watching us. I know it's fake but I can't make it go away.
