Barry had gone off to find Felicity and Violet had been trying to get her brother’s attention without his man friend noticing. After much eye contact and pointing, Cisco finally followed her out to the lobby where it was quieter. She was just about to question him and why he hadn’t been paying attention to her all night when there was a sudden crash as it seemed like the world imploded, glass showering everywhere. She instinctively ducked and reached out for Cisco. Men were shouting and it some sheetrock was raining down from the ceiling, making it impossible to see.
Hartley felt mildly annoyed that Cisco would leave him, even if it was just for a moment but sipped on his drink, keeping watch for his parents defensively. When he heard the frequency before an explosion, he started running towards the lobby where Cisco had disappeared. He made it halfway in before the glass started raining down and his ear devices tripped, unleashing an agonizing shriek. He let out a scream and clawed at his ears, the panic completely taking over his body.

Rick walked off to get some air from the stuffy twats. He was
contemplating leaving early and getting a drink, when he felt and then
heard the crashes. He threw his arm above his head, blocking any debris
that came down. rick did take stock of the room, a few people there, by
most importantly the support beam was about to break, thus crushing a
good part of the room and he had momentary concerns for maybe two people
there. The man took off, running towards the beams. He crossed his
arms, activating the gauntlets up his sleeves. The devices kicked in,
spreading the exoskeleton to his shoulders and finger tips. He let loose
a howl, wrapping his arms around the beam, using the amplified strength
to keep the roof intact.
Cisco followed his sister into the room and could almost feel a change in the air before the explosion went off. His first instinct was to protect those around him, so he practically threw his body over Violet’s head. He heard Hartley’s shriek and it was gut wrenching. Rick ran over and started holding the beam up, and Cisco hoped the man could sustain all the weight. He stuck a hand out and sent vibrations out, clearing a path toward Hartley. “It’s going to be okay, Vi. You stay here. If things fall, move, try and get clear of the debris. I’m going to go see if Hartley is okay.” He said, squeezing his sister’s hand before walking over to Hartley. “Hartley? You okay? What can I do to help?” He soothed, placing a gentle hand on Hart’s shoulder. Cisco was afraid the frequency of the explosions might have blown out the new earpieces he’d made for Hartley a few weeks ago.
