Few things. [ He kind of wants to talk about them, but not knowing where Iris falls on the timeline is making him wary of spoilers. ] Nothing we can't handle, it's just... It's stressful.

[eloquentness]

[ That was incredibly unhelpful, and Iris’s frown certainly speaks for her right now. ]

Okay, define stressful. Worse than Zoom?

[doitforthevibe]

No. [ He's quick to answer. ] Not as bad as Zoom. Not as bad as Savitar. [ They'd get Barry and Caitlin back, he knew they would. No one's life was on the line. ]

[eloquentness]

[ she's quiet for a long moment, before she dares to ask - ]

Who's Savitar?

[doitforthevibe]

[ Oh. Shit. She's not there yet.

Fuck, he swears inwardly. He can't tell Iris her life was on the line for a whole year. ]

Just, uh... Another evil speedster. You know. They're a dime a dozen. NBD.

Cisco . . .

[ He's not telling her the truth. Which means that whoever this Savitar is, he's seriously bad news. ]

This guy may not be relevant now, but when the time comes? [ she draws a breath, ] You'll have to tell us eventually. Okay?

[doitforthevibe]

[ Sigh. ] I know. And I will. But... You're safe here, and that's what matters.

[eloquentness]

[ Wait... why was her safety ever in doubt?? ]

Uh... [ . . . . ] What do you mean? That’s never been a problem before.
