Barry was quiet as his friend ranted, tired and with eyes averted until he hit Barry’s nerve. He was on his feet again in an instant, looking at the other with determination. “I care if you’re in harms way Cisco! I care! And no matter what I do or how right about things I feel someone always ends up hurt! And I can’t…I can’t let it be you. It’s…” Barry shook his head and stepped back, tripping a bit back into the couch before he just held his head. “I can’t.”
“Well I don’t care!” Cisco yelled back, his friend towering over him. “I can protect myself, Barry. I don’t need you always protecting me!” Cisco could feel the wristbands really begin to affect him. He felt the engery build up inside him, but it had nowhere to go. He just pushed it back, allowing it to add to the other bottled up energy and other feelings he had been repressing for the past 6 months. “If you don’t want me here, then I’ll just leave! I’ll be stopping by the lab tomorrow to pick up some things I forgot.” He said with a stern tone as he pushed past Barry to make it to the door.
