Barry’s jaw tensed, the speedster for once wishing he was as unreadable as Oliver, but was definitely failing. It was torture, hearing Cisco plea, but he knew it was better for him to be gone. As far from Barry as possible. “You already chose Thawne Cisco. And…I can put your lab and stuff in one of the exterior offices or something, but I can’t have you in the Cortex or in the main facility anymore.” Barry couldn’t hold eye contact, it all he could do not to break down in tears at even this hurt he was hitting Cisco with. But he kept forward, reminding himself that it was better for Cisco to cry and be heartbroken over this than be dead. Which was obviously what was going to happen if he stuck around Barry too much longer.
“I didn’t choose anyone! Please, Bar. Don’t do this, not now. Not when I need this staple in my life.” Cisco pleaded before sniffling and wiping his face. “Just give me some time to pack up some stuff and I’ll be out of your hair.” He said, making a mental plan in his head. Barry wasn’t going to push him out of his life this easily.
