[ 2077. That is well before Eobard's time, Cisco knows, but of course that doesn't stop him from making a menace of himself. The pieces, slowly, are falling into place. As far as Cisco knows, Eobard doesn't know that Cisco's powers let him go into the speedforce, or enable him to bring anyone out. When he'd thrown Genji in, it had probably been with the expectation that he would be lost forever, or at least stuck long enough for it to destroy him. ]

You must be a hell of a fighter, for the Reverse Flash to resort to throwing you into the speedforce. He probably couldn't have beat you any other way. Coward.

[ That last word comes out brittle with anger, and Cisco turns away from Genji for a moment, going over to his computer and bending over the keyboard, typing rapidly. He is going to increase the priority of the algorithms he's got running on the S.T.A.R. Labs satellite looking for distinctive traces of the Reverse Flash, just in case he turns up. Better safe than sorry.

As he's typing, he continues to speak. ]

Fresh out of time machines, sorry. And I can basically only dip my toe in the speedforce, I can't actually travel through it or manipulate it to get you there. But don't panic, McFly. We'll figure out a way to send you back to the future. Just might take a little time, that's all.

[ Cisco stops typing when Genji mentions his brother. He had finished inputting everything he needed to, true, but it's also clear that Genji saying that had struck a nerve. Cisco thinks... if it had been Dante, if he'd been stranded somewhere, not gone for good but only stuck, still within reach-

(It's so strange, how he can be going along just fine and then the grief will open up underneath him, that void as deep and awful as ever, even still.)

His voice is low, and hurt, and earnest as he says: ]

I'll get you back to him. One way or another. That's a promise.
