He was conflicted..he wasn't sure what the right choice was..he could help..make a suit and go home; but there was the onset problem of who Henry was

Henry was the son of his best friend; a man who he's spent everyday since he woke up from a coma with; Barry was his best friend and Henry's tried to kill him..so he wasn't sure about helping this man

Cisco was conflicted by what he was supposed to do but nonetheless he was doing it; but he wasn't doing it for Henry; no...he was doing it for the girl who saved his life

He didn't know her name or who she was but she still saved his life despite not knowing who he was

Meanwhile Henry looked out the window at Central City; it still felt weird to him being in the past. You've heard it before, he was a king in the future..a killer...he ruled over a city like a dictator

But here he was, in the past and that means he was nothing...nothing more than just a distant memory

Henry clears his throat as he looks behind him and saw Emily standing there and she was studying him

Henry: Something on your mind?

And there was something on her mind...she wanted to know how he became Speed Demon

Emily: How did you become the king of Central City?

Henry tilts his head at her as he walks forward to her

Henry: Don't ask questions, you can't handle the truth about.

He says as he walks back into the living room as Cisco worked away on the suit reluctantly

Henry: How's it going in here?

Henry asks as he crosses his arms as Cisco turns to him but doesn't make eye contact with him

Cisco: It's going fine.

He says as he turns back and continues to work

But Henry could see his hesitation as he walks over to Cisco as he puts his hand on his shoulder as Cisco flinches and holds his chest

Henry laughs as he tightens his grip

Henry: Cisco, let me make one thing perfectly clear to you. I am not going to kill you but if you give me a reason to then I will.

Henry removes his hand as he turns around and starts to walk away and he could hear the slight chuckle from Cisco as he immediately appears in front of him

Henry: Is something funny to you? Because I'm not laughing.

Cisco: No, no, I just um...if you were to kill me it'd mess up the timeline and you couldn't have that.

Henry immediately wraps his hand around Cisco's throat as he runs and slams him against the wall as he lifts him off the ground and Cisco struggles to breath as he coughs

Henry: I could end your life and not even change a shade.

Cisco continues to fight for his breath as Henry sighs and then drops him to the ground as Cisco coughs

Henry: You know it took a long to build what I built in the future.

He says as he goes over and sits in the now moved couch that was near the fireplace as he puts one of his arms on top of the couch

Henry: I hurt people. I killed people. I took away their Hope.

Cisco holds his throat as he gets up to his knees and looks at Henry

Henry: And for what? Now look at me, Cisco. Look at where I am now. I'm stuck in the past.

Cisco: What? I'm supposed to feel sorry for you.
