[ The news about Cisco having to sit through a movie with Eobard is... disturbing, honestly, though it's a little derailed by the casual mention of being vaporized. Barry doesn't respond for a few long seconds, trying to come up with an adequate answer. ]
yeah, that. sorry.
[ If texts could be dry, that one would be. Hardly adequate, but he's assuming Cisco will get it. ]
[ Only Barry Allen could find a way to apologize for reversing time and saving him from dying not once, but twice. ]
sort of. like, i'd seen bits of it in nightmares, and i kind of figured out what must have happened, but that was the first time i remembered the whole thing.
[ Still sort of feels like his fault, but he appreciates the sentiment anyway. ]
that sucks, man.
[ That could sound flippant, but it's completely, depressingly earnest. Remembering something like that is bad enough; remembering it in front of Eobard is a thousand times worse, and Barry feels that, viscerally. ]
are you doing okay?
[ Adjusted definition of 'okay', here. He knows the honest answer has to be no. ]
[ It had been a thousand times worse. And Cisco doesn't want to lie and pretend that's not true - not to Barry, anyway. But there are a lot of ways of answering 'are you okay' that don't quite mean yes and don't quite mean no. ]
nothing i couldn't handle.
the important thing is even though he saw me vibe, he hasn't got any idea i can make it happen intentionally, or that i can see stuff that's not about me. so i'm gonna find a way to use that.
