[ Cisco doesn't answer right away. The truth is, he doesn't want to put Eobard in a cell, either. If all they do is contain him, there is always the chance he will find a way to get out. Even the most foolproof prison would be no good, if Eobard could manipulate someone into letting him free. And he is very good at playing puppet-master. Besides, something like what had happened the last week could happen again. Cisco could forget that he was evil and let him out, and then when they got their memories again, he would be toast. ]
Qualms about killing him aren't the issue.
[ He'd already watched Eobard disintegrating into thin air, begging him for help, and all he'd felt was cold, shocked relief. He has a feeling that, if Taako were to kill him again, he might actually muster up some happiness for it, this time. And probably cry his eyes out for a day, afterwards. But even so... ]
It's more... logistics. I just. Don't want him to kill you.
[ Cisco believes in Taako. He believes he is a powerful wizard, and that when he goes back to his world, he and his friends are going to kick the Hunger's apocalyptic horrifying ass. But when it comes to Eobard, he loses the ability to gauge objectively. He honestly doesn't know what would happen, if the two of them fought. Taako certainly has the ability to cause a lot more damage - but more doesn't guarantee a victory. Dead from 10,000 blows and dead from 1 quick, just-strong-enough blow are still both the same amount dead. ]
Or me. [ It seems stupid, after everything, not to at least be honest. He thinks the cat is pretty well out of the damn bag, when it comes to him being afraid of Eobard. That ship has sailed. Cisco stares down at his crossed legs, gnaws at his lower lip for a moment before adding: ] Again.
