Gabe, strangely, had a point. Not the point he thought he was making, but there was something in there. He'd caught Harrison by surprise, that was the only way he'd found a foothold and he'd known almost immediately that something was off. He just needed to pin point the exact moment he'd become aware of it. But Gabe did have an ability that gave him access to almost anyone. The ultimate spy.
There was only one snag. He didn't know Gabe. Cisco, Caitlin and Barry were all his own creation. He'd groomed them to be exactly what he needed. To trust him implicitly. He could trust them because he knew they were gullible and innocent, enough that they'd never even suspect their mentor of anything nefarious. Trusted him enough to stick by him when everything else fell apart. But not Gabe. Gabe was an unknown factor that drifted into their lives.
His hand came closer and closer still, until it stopped vibrating at the very last moment and planted on Gabe's chest. "I want to trust you, Gabe. I really do. But I can't trust someone I don't know. Besides--"
Everything blurred. One moment everything was fine, the next Harrison had Gabe by the waist, zipping through the facility at top speed. And the moment after that, Gabe's back slammed against the back wall of a containment cell with the door already hissing shut.
"--I can't trust someone who so easily wanted to kill me. Not when I don't know the extent of their powers."
