[Damn. He works with his Real every day and he never seems to pick it up. Always thinks he's someone else. It has it's advantages, but it's sort of upsetting at the same time.]
Tick tock, tick tock. Not much time left, is there?
How long until you realize everything you're doing is pointless?
That every ounce of your being is only poured so heavily into something that won't bear the fruit you wish so desperately for in the end?
[It doesn't occur to him that Cisco's mirror might even be a threat. It's not nearly as upsetting as the idea of a twisted Hulk or vampire clawing at him.]
I hadn't realized my father lived in the mirror dimension. Do give him my regards.
[He's rolling his eyes now, but it's alongside a grimace. The words are familiar enough to cut in all the right places.]
[Even the mirrors are heckling him now. It's just a bit more pressure, another spark too close to kindling.]
I've had enough of this!
[The message has come on the edge of chrome plating. He tears the strip off of the unit he's building and hurls it across the room. Like a mature adult with reasonable coping skills.]

It's okay, you know.
That you didn't get on with him.
All the Greats have Daddy Issues.

[He punctuates his sentence by slamming heavy metal framing together.]
Are you quite done?
no subject
I'm NEVER done.
[There's a short lull, before he adds.]
Push him harder tomorrow.
He's not giving it his all.
He's still letting his fear of himself block his full potential.
no subject
I won't push anyone to do anything. Especially not at the behest of some graffiti.

I thought you wanted Cisco to actually help you get out of dodge.
My mistake.
no subject
He has been an invaluable ally.
no subject
But he's holding back.
I don't think his heart's in it like yours is.
