Mick isn't sure why Ramon is even pursuing this. What else could it possibly be but something finally shorting out in his head? One too many trips to the Induction Chamber or one too many knocks to the head finally shaking something loose? But he's trying. He's listening and that puts him in some pretty rare damn company. "No. It's what he'd say, I think. Giving me shit, pushing me to do something." That was how Snart operated - pushing all the right buttons until he got the reaction he wanted.
Good. Mick answers the question honestly and while Cisco goes quiet and still he doesn't immediately object or spew out those vague platitudes that you'd hear at one of those grief counseling groups.
He swallows, forcing his eyes back up. "Because it should have been me. We were taking on the Time Masters themselves, in a place outside of time. Only way to destroy their control on the timeline was to hold down a kill switch until it blew."
"I wanted payback for what they did to me. For what they did to me an Len. I was ready and that bastard came back for me. Snart knocked me out and took my place." Mick sucks in a breath. "It was like I said. I lost everything that day and now all I got to show for it is a ring."
