[ He gives him a side-long glance at that, allowing a half-smile to cross his face. It was an interesting prospect, though all of the old projects would inevitably have some traces of Eobard Thawne here and there. The idea of picking up his work makes him want to turn his nose up at all of it, but . . . without Thawne's research, they wouldn't have been able to create the breach reactor charges. And rehabilitating S.T.A.R. Labs and the name "Harrison Wells" also meant rehabilitating Thawne's work. It would be a challenge to make it into something good that wasn't necessarily for some time traveller's personal gain, but he was never one to back down from something like that.

[ He sounds almost amused. They have a history and Cisco has a history with Thawne and he's honestly not entirely certain which one concerns him more these days. It's not something he thinks about much, more a small thought that picks at him from time to time. He's seen it here and there — the looks Cisco gives him, his tone when it comes to Thawne or anything surrounding him, how the subject will change and he'll not want to talk about it. Harrison is fairly certain there was something there once, something he'd be better off not knowing about. And then, part of him wants to lean in and whisper a simple truth to him: "I'll never be the man you want me to be."
Harrison shakes his head at the thought, leaning back and examining Cisco curiously. ]
