[When Cisco says he gets it, and that he doesn't want Eobard hurting him, not anymore, something unwinds a bit in Eddie's chest, and he manages a smile, eyes on Cisco's face. Eddie's hand is still close to Cisco's chest, and after a moment, tentatively, he curls his fingers forward and brushes them against the warm fabric of Cisco's shirt, cautiously, carefully.]
I get that. I don't want him hurting you anymore either. So I know...how you're feeling, I guess.
[Eddie falls quiet when Cisco starts quietly reassuring him, that even the best heroes aren't perfect, that Barry has flaws and a temper and he's still the Flash, and a hero. That it isn't bad to be cautious, but that he's not alone, he's got Cisco, who won't let him go darkside. Eddie laughs at that, softly, a little tentatively, he doesn't have to know the reference to understand it, and he nods a bit.]
How about this? You have my back, and I have yours. You help me with my powers, and I'll help you with yours? Neither of us is going to go darkside, okay?
