(sorry for the wait!  Life happened, y'know.  That thing.)

Celeste moved to Estelle and looked over her wrist with a frown, her semblance activating almost before she willed it to. "Def'nitely broken," she murmered, holding it gently.

"It's fine," the otter said with a small smile. "Lots o' boys - an' girls," she added with a wink -  "like me, but I wouldn't wanna get in someone else's way.  Don't worry 'bout me.  Besides," she continued as she prepared to set Estelle's wrist, "I think he might care about you more than ya know, and maybe more'n he cares to admit just yet.  Don't bite your tongue, this might hurt." Celeste channeled her semblance into the girl's wrist at the same time she set it with a pop, barely lessening the pain, but healing the injury enough that she could function with it.

"There, that oughta do for now," she said, swaying a little. "...I can't do much more right now, anyway - I need a bit of a break." She had just used her semblance on everyone else, too, after all. Sighing, she leaned against the wall and slid to the floor beside Estelle. "...Jus' give 'im some time."

Ash took a knee right in front of the device on the door, taking his multi-tool off his belt with a practiced flick of his wrist and flipping it open. The device seemed simple, but he had never seen one quite like it, so he needed to be careful. His wrist shook a bit. If only he could focus a bit easier...

Ash's mind cleared and his focus enhanced before he even noticed the song. Cerise's voice was quiet, and there were no words to the song, but the melody was calm and sharp as the notes of her semblance, floated around him, glowing faintly in blue. With a grateful nod to the girl who was hiding behind the counter beside him, Ash set to the task at hand.

He saw the pattern easily now, unscrewing a tiny bolt here, clipping a connection there, and the first device was deactivated safely. Now for the others.

Aurum placed his hand on Sable's shoulder, pulling him back lightly. "Don't," he urged quietly. "Let them get us out - we can't see the setup.  I don' want you dyin' on my watch, ok?  Have a bit of faith in our teammates."

Sable dissuaded, Aurum crossed the short distance to Celeste, crouching in front of her. "You ok?"

The girl nodded, eyes closed. "Yeah, 'm fine - just a bit tired.  Too much healin' at once.  Just gimme a couple."

With a nod, the young man sat beside her, opposite Estelle. "How's the wrist, Estelle?  Will you be good to fight?  We'll prob'ly need to in a minute." He adjusted his weaopns, making sure they were ready to draw.

There!  There was a quiet click as the final device deactivated and fell to the ground, caught by Vert to keep it from making noise while Lyko had the two enemies distracted. Ash moved aside so Cerise could pick the lock, his Leonidus' Cross held in staff form just above the ground, balancing on one hand. Things were going to get interesting once the door opened, he knew - he just hoped the group inside was ready.

A satisfying click sounded as Cerise succeeded in opening the freezer lock, and the door swung open.
