On The Flash, neither of Barry’s best friends Cisco and Caitlin have been all that excited to realize they’ve become metahumans.
Both were perfectly content to back Barry up from the safety of S.T.A.R. Labs with their intellect rather than powers.
H.R. surrenders but when Barry (Grant Gustin) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) find out that H.R.’s only hope would be to challenge Gypsy to a fight to the death, they intercede and Cisco offers to fight Gypsy instead.
Cisco’s reluctance to use his powers returned in season 3, after the death of his older brother Dante.
