Hartley had gotten to his feet when he saw Cisco dragging along a young woman who was blinking rapidly and struggling to get free. Talk about a situation that looked sketchy. It was the middle of the night, he knew that much even if he didn't have the exact time. "Hey! What's going on?"

That was the moment the woman chose to look up and right at him and then suddenly she was standing in the cell. As was Cisco. She shoved Cisco against the wall and then she was gone again, standing outside with a cocky grin. Hartley closed his mouth, since he didn't fancy himself being someone who stared with his mouth agape, seemed very much like idiot territory.

"Doesn't look like I'm going back in there after all, Cisco."

[viber]

"No, no, no! Don't do this!"

This was bad. This was so bad. Cisco looked at Hartley in panic and then nearly fell over himself moving up to the door, banging his fists against it in a useless but oddly soothing motion. Oh man, this was just the worst. "Wait! Don't!" Don't leave him in here with this guy. He'd soon take his chance with Nimbus... well, actually, not true. Maybe Hartley was just the second worst to be stuck with.

Cisco's eyes flicked around the door before he swiftly backed himself in a corner like he genius he was, raising his fists to show that yes, he was totally ready to fight Hartley. "Back off, asshole."

[mostlyajerk]

"You can take care of him for me, can't you, cutie?"

Hartley looked at the woman and mostly just blinked. "...I'd rather you put him literally anywhere else."

But apparently she just shrugged and walked away and here they were now. Hartley sighed and turned to face Cisco, leaning back against the wall while he did whatever he thought he did. "Can't really back off further. But this is an interesting turn of events, isn't it?"

He wondered how much satisfaction would be in beating Cisco up.

[viber]

"Come on, Cisco. Come on. You made this damn thing, there has to be a way out." Yes, he was talking to himself. Hartley was right there and no, he would rather just talk to himself because hell, he just made better company. Seriously though, he made this stupid cell and there had to be like a fail safe or something. Did he not put one in? How could he not? He checked his pockets desperately and yes, Shawna had taken everything. His phone, his keys... oh man, his wallet? Really? Dick move.

He shifted along the wall until his back was to the door, feeling it blindly behind him. It was one am and every one was definitely at home and asleep, Wells would be the first one in and even then, he didn't show until like eight.

Shit. He was so dead. He was so dead and he was trapped in this tiny little crammed space and -- God, no, Cisco. Do. Not. Cry. "If you touch me, I will kick your ass. Don't think I won't. Stay the hell away."

[mostlyajerk]

For a few moments, Hartley just stared. Then he finally stepped forward, took the blindfold off and slowly peeled the tape back. "What are you doing here?"

It was a valid question. The place was empty spare for the lone idiot tied very tightly to Hartley's computer chair and he had just wanted a quiet night in, but no, of course not. He hated when the others didn't keep him updated, it always ended in awkwardness. Just like the time Axel had started cooking up some drug without telling any of them, that had certainly been awkward. Especially for Axel after Cold was done with him.

[viber]

Why was he tied to the chair? Good question. "I'm not totally sure." May as well be honest. Cisco licked his lips and kept his eyes closed because the light was really bright and he'd been in the dark most of the day. "Something to do with them needing me to make this weapon thingy but I tried to sabotage what I made so far and Captain Cold got pissed and I got scared. And I started to babble."

And that's have been when Leonard put him in some kind of bondage time out until he cooled down. And apparently they just left him here. Real classy. "Can I get like a glass of water? My throat is so dry." He cleared his throat a little. "Or you could just untie me and I can get it myself then go."

[mostlyajerk]

"Ah. Yes, he likes the bondage punishment. You're lucky he didn't make it worse." Hartley snorted, but let go of Cisco so he could indeed get him a glass of water. He returned with it and held it against his lips, slowly tilting it. "Sorry, rogue rule. I can't interfere with Cold's business."

He could, however, time a comment very nicely to just when Cisco had a mouthful of water. "I could give you a blowjob, I guess."

[viber]

Not funny, dude. Not funny, Cisco choked on the water he was midway through swallowing and at least some sprayed back out at Hartley as he looked up at that smug jackasses smile. Oh that was just the worst. What a mean thing to do. "You're just the worst kind of jerk, dude. The worst. And I'm measuring that by Cold level jerkiness."

Taking another sip of the water, the managed to clear out where the water had gone the wrong way, coughing a little to dislodge anything still trapped. "Get lost, I was having more fun blindfolded and gagged."

[viber]

I went home. I thought of you.

I still feel like it

[mostlyajerk]

Like what?

[viber]

You know what.

[mostlyajerk]

Not really. There's a lot of variables and possibilities here and it's not the type of thing I'd like to be wrong about.

[viber]

hey so

what are you wearing? ;)

[mostlyajerk]

I'm working, so.

You know my costume.

Why?

[viber]

Just wondering is all.

Got any plans tonight?

[mostlyajerk]

You mean other than breaking the law?

I suppose I could add breaking and entering into your apartment to the list.

[mostlyajerk]

Hartley waited for Cisco while typing a strongly worded cease and desist text to Axel, only stopping to look up when the door opened. He smiled immediately, whistling under his breath as he let his eyes roam over Cisco. "Yes. Even better than I thought."

[viber]

"Really? I feel kind of on show." Which was just really awkward. His jeans were so tight he could barely get his hands in his pockets, his nipples were perking out through his shirt because hey, it was so cold and in general, it was an odd experience. Not awful though. "You look pretty handsome yourself."

[mostlyajerk]

"You're the hottest guy I've ever taken to a club." Hartley grinned and turned around, waiting for Cisco to walk next to him. "It's not a long walk. I'm surprised no one's ever come across you and taken you there before. But I guess I'm lucky, I'd not still get to hang with you if I hadn't been there first."

[viber]

I get it, you're Robin Hood. How cool.

So we gonna hook up tonight or what?

[mostlyajerk]

I'm busy actually.

[viber]

:(

For real?

[viber]

I'm sorry about last night.

I know I said I'd give you memorable night in bed and I kind of did. Sorry about the card trick. And the rap. And the impromptu jazzercise. I had a little too much to drink at dinner. I didn't think wine would effect me so much.

[mostlyajerk]

It's 'affect', not 'effect'.

Also, it certainly was memorable.

[viber]

I'm super hung over so I dont even care.

Sorry I said bitch so many times. I can't remember why, I just know I did.
