[ Cisco turns obediently, back facing Taako, hands coming down to grip at his crossed ankles as he waits for Taako to start brushing his hair. And it's not something Cisco would have ever thought of, or dreamed to request, but... it's actually a pretty perfect idea. He's always loved having his hair brushed, on the rare occasions someone else has done it for him. There's something hypnotic about it, so long as the person knows what they are doing and are not too aggressive or, on the other end of the spectrum, too terrified of tugging at all.
And it gives him an excuse to face away from Taako, as he asks his questions, and they... strategize. Even with Cisco facing away, the tension that comes into his shoulders is eloquent. He really has been holding too much back from Taako. It's not fair to him, not safe for him. ]
Because they would get out in about five seconds. There about three dozen different ways you can use lightning, or friction, or vibrations to destroy a door or a lock. Besides, even without any of that, they can phase through things. Metal, concrete, doesn't matter. Just start vibrating at the right frequency and then step right through it, to the other side
[ A lot of the time, when Cisco talks about the things speedsters can do, he sounds fond and even boastful, because he's thinking of Barry. But right now, he's only thinking about Eobard, and he sounds nervous, not proud. ]
There's probably the same kinds of trouble when it comes to locking up wizards, huh? You must have a spell that lets you walk through walls or whatever, or you could just teleport out.
[ No doubt there are magical countermeasures to prevent that, just as Cisco had tried to find scientific countermeasures to prevent speedsters from crossing from place to place. ]
I tried to make a speedster-proof force-field, to trap the Reverse Flash, but... Dr. Wells tampered with it, obviously.
