[ Even as he'd been saying that Eddie's eyes looked like Firestorm's, something had been nagging at the back of Cisco's mind. Because there was something else, some other thing they reminded him of, only he didn't know what. He'd thought, stupidly, it must be something from a movie. A special effect.
But the moment Eddie says his eyes looked like Eobard's, Cisco's stomach feels like it's been filled with lead. Of course. The Reverse Flash, with those glowing, awful red eyes. That had been what it reminded him of. Of Eobard. Eddie's descendent. Cisco's face goes noticeably paler, but the moment Eddie starts asking those half-frantic questions, his brain kicks back in. ]
Hey. Hey hey hey, c'mon.
[ Cisco reaches up, holding Eddie's face in his hands, forcing him to look at Cisco and focus on his unblinking gaze. There's no trace of that weird blue glow, now. Just Eddie Thawne's light blue eyes, framed by those pale lashes, looking a touch glassy as a new worry cast its shadow over them. ]
You know that's not how this works, okay? ...I mean, okay. There was a certain. There was a resemblance. A little. I'm not gonna deny it. But that doesn't have anything to do with you going evil- [ Cisco lets his voice drip with sarcasm over the words, as if the mere suggestion that Eddie could go evil is so absurd that he can barely say it with straight face. ]
Your powers emerged because you wanted to save people. And not just... people who were useful to you, or your friends, or whatever. You were saving two annoying shits who've caused a whole heap of trouble. That about as far opposite of Dr- of Eobard as you can get, alright?
