Violet moved over to her brother, grabbing his hand and squeezing it before letting go, knowing that he needed his hands. She cursed in her mind that she hadn’t started training with Nyssa yet. Some sort of assassin skills would come in handy right about now. All she could do, however, is be a human shield if it came to it which she was readily able to do. Now that Cisco had Hartley, even if he’s a horrible person, they were happy. She wouldn’t let Cisco lose his happiness so quickly after he got it. She had enough good memories with Barry to last her in Hell.
Hartley nodded, following Cisco and trying his best to will the screeching of competing frequencies to somehow fade into the background. He could feel something wet starting to drip from his ears. The devices had shattered. But the influx of adrenaline allowed him to grit his teeth and keep going, his gloves primed. Honestly, he was utterly and completely terrified. He wasn’t a fighter. Only against Barry Allen and even then only when he knew he would win. Hartley had never even been up close with a gun let alone multiple gunmen. He trotted behind Cisco, his other senses now heightened. He longed for silence. He longed for the comforting sound of nothingness. But his eyes instinctively focusing and scanning all angles. He’d have to rely on his sight now. Which, was unfortunate considering his eyesight wasn’t very steller and falling debris had shattered one of his lenses, leaving a very irritating distraction. Hartley couldn’t make out what Cisco said to the ARGUS agent who was currently holding up the ceiling and felt very vulnerable. This really wasn’t a good idea.

Rick pushed the tech to its limits, holding up that beam. He had received from advice from the people there, hold it up until they could prop it up. There was not a lot of options, if they were under attack it would be a long time before the firefighters could get there and even then the equipment necessary to prop it up was a long way off. He was stuck there, hoping that they wouldn’t become the victims of an attack.” I don’t know if this will hold until help gets here kid.”
“I didn’t say you had to continue holding it up, just- hold on.” Cisco said, sticking his hands out and sending vibrations towards different pieces of debris and beginning to stack them near the man to hold the structure. They piled up past the man, giving the pillar a somewhat solid structure for the time being. Cisco glanced over to see Violet watching on. “Vi, you need to find somewhere to hide. Now.” He said sternly, knowing his sister would probably try and protest. “Just go, please. I don’t know what I would do if you got hurt. Find a closet or something. That way I know you’re safe.” He grabbed her hand and turned her, pushing her in the opposite direction of the gunmen. He then turned to see Hartley scanning the room through his broken glasses. There was a deep red liquid coming from his ears, and Cisco quickly closed the gap between them. “Your ears. Blood.” He signed quickly, pulling the nonsense hankerchief from his breast pocket and wiping the blood away.
