[ Even when Steve says it's not Cisco's fault, he feels a little stab of guilt. He's been wondering, lately, if his powers might be making it so he has more of these dreams than other people - and wondering if, if only he had better control over them, he could be able to tear himself free once the memories started. Probably, he thinks, he could. But he's still too unpracticed, because he's spent so much time trying to pretend he didn't even have powers.
He waits as Steve sits, looking heavy and solemn and shaken. Cisco swallows, shifting his weight from foot to foot and hoping that this hasn't somehow ruined their new friendship. He is silent until Steve makes his request, and then he answers without hesitation: ]
Of course, Steve. I won't say a word about this, to anyone. I swear it.
[ Cisco grabs the nearest stool and pulls it over, close to Steve but not too close, leaving him a little bit of space as he sits down, face all concern. He'd spoken to a Diana, on the network - about candy of all things - but the conversation had only been text. Nothing that would've allowed him to recognize her in the dream. But he does remember what Steve had said, the first time they met. It's not hard to put the pieces together. ]
She's the one you told me about. The one from earlier in your timeline. She doesn't know about you dying, or... about you two?
[ That last part is just a guess, based on Steve's phrasing. She doesn't know about any of that. If that's the case... Cisco can't even imagine how hard that must be. ]
