It's Finally Movie Night!

[goodviberations]

This is it, guys. Finally, finally they're going to have the movie night they've been talking about for months. It's been a rough few weeks on most of them, and Cisco is determined to cheer everyone up. He'd stumbled across a 40s movie theatre- the kind that would have shown nickelodeons back in the day- and decided that it was the perfect venue for them. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and they could set up a snack table in front of the small stage beneath the screen.

Party time, here they come.

A Conspiracy is Afoot

[timefragmentmod]

Harry Wells - OTA but aimed at the conspirators

[binarythinking]

He really wasn't one for social gatherings like this. He's still just not that good with people.

However this is a special occasion. Tucked away in his jacket are the necessary power dampeners as well as the two remotes to activate them.

It's for Ramon and Snow's own good.

[commanderspecs]

Barry had brought over a bottle of...something that he had found at one of the saloons and that he was sure is some kind of bourbon for the party. He's still not great at socializing with the others just yet either and when he sees Doctor Wells, he gives a huge wave and smile, making a bee line for the man.

[binarythinking]

For the moment Harry is waiting for the speedsters to set up the dampeners. It's not something he can do without raising suspicion and this whole mess wasn't his idea anyway.

And it's good to see Allen on his feet again, looking more like his (overeager, enthusiastic) self again. "Allen."

"Oh. I have something for you."

A watch with a glowing blue face. "You'll have to charge it daily, but that will act as a power dampener until you get things under control."

[commanderspecs]

He sets down the bourbon on what seemed to serve as a wet bar and makes his way over, surprised that Doctor Wells had something for him. Barry's eyes widen when he sees what the man had in hand.

"I--" He's touched. "You really meant it." He smiles a little. "How does it work? How does it charge? Is it only by skin contact? How much does it dampen?" And there he goes, a million questions at a mile a minute.

[binarythinking]

"Of course I mean it, Allen. I'm not a complete monster." He might even be teasing. Just a little bit.

Harry waves off the questions. "Tomorrow you can come to the labs and I'll show you the full breakdown of how it works and why. For now, put it on and just relax."

[commanderspecs]

He takes the watch and puts it on, fingers bumbling a little at his own excitement. As soon as Barry activates it, there's a strange sense of calm that washes over him and he beams at the older man before launching himself forward for a tight hug.

"Thank you so much, Doctor Wells."

Re: Harry Wells - OTA but aimed at the conspirators

[citizen_cold]

Leo was chuckling to himself as he looked over the group. Honestly he was glad he was taken because he wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this group and their matchmaking plot. "We ready to go on this thing Wells?"

[binarythinking]

They're clearly idiots so when Savitar had come to him about getting involved and a day later both Cisco and Snow are asking him to build dampeners to inhibit the others? Harry had to get involved simply for the sake of getting any real work done.

And well. He'd been married before.

"Mhm," a nod. "I'll hand them off to the speedsters and they'll get us all out of here once they're placed."

[citizen_cold]

"I'd love to stay and watch Mick pull his head out of his ass," Leo comments, "but this really the best plan. He won't make a move on his own if we don't help."

Savitar - OT Barry For Now

[vivifier]

Once he got the dampeners and the keyfob from Harry, he made his way over to Barry with the intent on enacting their plan here. He raised both eyebrows at his 'brother' of sorts, and slipped him the keyfob before moving to set the dampeners in two key locations.

Is Barry ready to run?

[chosenbylightning]

Barry's got the dampeners in place shortly after they're given to him and his lips only barely twitch in reply to the raised eyebrows. They'll whisk out everyone but Caitlin, Oliver, Mick and Cisco before turning the dampeners on.

"Let's go."

[vivifier]

It's easy enough to whisk everyone who isn't the trapped foursome out of here. Then? Turning to Barry once the doors are locked shut. "Diner?" That was the plan, right?

[chosenbylightning]

A nod and a smile. "Diner." They can eat and fill in the others what they were doing and why once they were there.

[vivifier]

They can, and they will. But for now, getting there. "They're not going to be happy with us." Mick and Cait, Cisco and Oliver. "Obviously."

Trapped!

[chosenbylightning]

Clearly the Speedsters are up to something. A few swift rushes of wind and Frost, Oliver, Cisco and Mick will find themselves alone in the theater with the doors locked.

Hanging on the main door they will find a note.

'Guys -
This is for your own good. Figure things out. We'll be back in two hours.'

[goodviberations]

Cisco is the first one to realize something's wrong. He looks away from the screen- had he started with a Bruce Lee movie because he knows Mick loves ninja movies? Maybe- only to notice that almost all of his friends are gone.

Mick is still a seat away, shoveling popcorn into his mouth at a frankly alarming rate. Caitlin- and she is Caitlin again. How weird- is in the row behind him, looking confused. And Oliver is in the corner, looking like a mopey teen. But that's it. Everyone else is gone.

For a split second, he worries. Had something happened? Had the others needed to rush out to deal with some crisis? He pushes to his feet, making his way to the aisle to attempt to get out to the lobby. But the doors won't budge.

Which is when he sees the note, written in his best friend's handwriting.

"I'm gonna kill him."

[bringstheheat]

"Quiet!" They're getting to the best part and Mick seems to be the only one who cares.

A frown as he turns and notices that they're down a few people and Cisco and the Doc are staring at the door like it's somehow personally betrayed them.

With a grumble he stops the movie and stomps over to the door. "What's the problem?"

[goodviberations]

Cisco runs a hand through his hair. He really doesn't want to tell Mick what's going on, because then he'll have to explain why it's going on.

He can admit that he'd started to hope a little bit. After the whole thing with the book and Mick trusting him to know he'd written it. Barry and Caitlin had been so sure that Prince Zien was supposed to be him, and they hadn't even known they were right about the author.

"Barry and the others locked us in," he explains. And he's got a feeling that the power dampeners he helped Harry build for Caitlin apply to all of them.

[bringstheheat]

Mick squints at the note because of course his damn glasses are back at the apartment. "For your own good? What the hell's he talking about?"

Shrug. "So, just blast the damn doors and get us out."

[snowandfrost]

Frost would if she was there. Caitlin sits there, shocked that she's there when Frost immediately goes away. She gets up and looks around, not finding Barry or Savitar, or anyone other than herself, Cisco, Mick, and Oliver. She walks over to where the note is hanging by the main door and reads it over.

Her eyes widen when she realizes that the dampener she worked on for Cisco had to have had a duplicate that was able to dampen her powers--

Oh no.

[havingprecision]

Oliver had caught the speedsters leaving, but hadn't thought much of it. Barry always did have a short attention span so maybe he'd gone off after more food.

Only he didn't come back. Neither did Savitar.

He's on his feet, moving to read the note.

Oh he's gonna shoot Barry twice for this little stunt. "There has to be another way out."

[snowandfrost]

She nods and begins to look around.

“They even took Pilot.”

[havingprecision]

None of the dragons are left. It's just the four of them and Mick and Cisco are engrossed in their own conversation.

"Can I talk to you?"

Crystal - Diner after being sped out - OTA

[froststorm]

"Whoa!"

She tried to get her bearings once the world stopped rushing around her. Crys still clutched her bag of popcorn with one hand still raised with a long gone handful of popcorn. Probably somewhere along the trail between where she was at the theatre at Tio's party and the diner.

Crys took a hesitant step, just in case she was being whisked away again just as quickly. It looked like some of the other guests from the party were there with her. Though, she frowned, she didn't see Cisco. Or that man that seemed to not ever want to be far away from Cisco. Or Caitlin. Or...Oliver. When it didn't seem like she was going to be sped away somewhere else, Crys let out a breath, sitting down at the counter.
