[ Oh. That... changes things. Cisco had just assumed that the metahuman who had taken Harry had started off as an adult. All the metahumans they've come up against on Team Flash have been, thus far. As far as Cisco knew, until this point, he was the youngest person who had been altered. The thought of a teenager, a kid, getting turned into a metahuman, and having powers with such dire consequences... it doesn't excuse what he did, but it explains it.
Cisco's shoulders slump and he wants to say something. Tell Harry it isn't his fault, at the very least. But Harry cuts him off before he can even get a word out, anticipating his speech and making it superfluous. Cisco understands now why he's upset. Jesse's just about 18, now. For all that he can be acerbic and hostile, for all that he's done some awful things, Harry's not a bad man.
It's all too clear that Harry is just looking for a distraction when he gestures at - of all things - the Wii U sitting on Cisco's floor and asks about it. He thinks about pressing the point, but... he can't bring himself to, when Harry is laying there under the blanket, bruised and inarticulate and unhappy. Now might not be the best time. So Cisco scoops up the Wii U and pushes Harry's legs to the side so he can sit cross-legged on the bed next to him. ]
What, they don't have Nintendo on Earth-2?
[ He switches the console on and as it starts up he is getting up again, scanning his shelves for a game to show Harry in order to take his mind off... everything. After a few seconds Cisco plucks one off the shelf, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. By the time he's turned back towards Harry, the smile is full force. ]
You're gonna love this. It's a video game that lets you build your own levels, or play levels that other people have made and put online. Obviously we can't really access any of those, here, but there are a handful of them stored that are pretty awesome.
