[ooc: backdated to the day after Hartley was found dead and after the police informed anyone who they felt needed to be informed of his death.]

We have identified the man who was killed. What we don't know is if he had any enemies here or what the motivation could have been behind his murder. If anyone has any information regarding Hartley Rathaway then contact the police or if you don't want to talk to them you can tell me and I shall pass on the relevant information.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be gone this long. I'll be ~~home~~ ~~back~~ home as soon as I can.

	Or we can just kill the bastard that did it ourselves. Also an option. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Very hard to do when we're not entirely sure who it was that killed him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then inform the police. If we start going around killing each other then we're no better than animals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Without evidence to confirm your suspicious then it is just cold blooded murder. You don't know this person was responsible yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We'll figure it out first, then. We know what to look for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The police will figure it out and take what action they deem necessary. If we all start taking the law into our own hands we might as well just all move outside the barrier and go back to being Neanderthals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are we looking to prove Christian Science true by slotting ourselves in with the dinosaurs outside like that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, that's not what I was trying to do. I just meant that by killing someone like that would make us no better than primitives. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	He'll try. He almost killed you. Now he's killed Hartley. I don't have a problem with blood on my hands. I already had Ramon make some improvements to the gun. You can pretend you forgot but we both know I already know how to stop a Speedster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Len, if I had been the type of person who wanted to hurt you, you wouldn't have been able to stop me. And you won't be able to stop him.

I didn't kill him before. I could have, but I didn't. I didn't want it to make me like him. I was wrong. I should have. But I'm not going to let you get yourself killed fighting my battles. I can stop him. I just need to stop holding myself back. He killed someone. He needs to be stopped. Permanently.

I'm not half as helpless as you think. My gun never had a cold field generator either.

You know what happens if you go after him half cocked and upset? He kills you. Like he meant to last time. But not before he probably disables you. Kills the rest of us first. One at a time. Because that's how people like him think. How people like me used to know how to think. This isn't just your fight anymore, Scarlet.

But maybe it's not as simple as fighting. Not with somebody like that. He doesn't just want to kill you he wants to break you, right? Let's make him think he can. Appeal to his darker interests. What if I can make him think I want to do that too? That I'm playing a long con.

I don't think you're helpless. I know you're not helpless. But I've lost enough people I love because of Eobard Thawne and people. I don't want to lose you too. It would literally kill me if something happened to you. I couldn't live with it.

I'm not going to go after him half-cocked and upset. One, I've learned my lesson on that. Two, I'm pretty sure you would freeze my feet to the floor if I tried.

No. I know it's not real, and I know you wouldn't do that, but I don't want to even pretend it's true. Besides, you're more likely to get hurt pretending to work with him than just fighting him.

We could fight him together. That way we could have each other's backs.

And you think it would be any easier for me to lose you? I'm not planning on getting killed and you better not be either.

You're damn right. I'd sit on you if I had to. And not the fun way.

Fine. I guess there's no telling how convincing I'd be. I'm out of practice with all of these good influences around.

Cisco did mention making some improvements to your suit. We could test how they function against my gun. And Mick's. If you can function better than Eobard inside the cold field then you probably stand a better chance. He'll have too much time to kill if we don't slow him down first.

	Apparently so. This should be left to the police though, it is their job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miracleworker 2016-08-07 01:34 pm UTC (link)
	How can you be sure it was who you think it is? Any information you have should be given to the police so they can act on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goodvibrations 2016-08-07 01:45 pm UTC (link)
	Because he already tried to kill someone else and he's pretty much known for his murder tendencies. And they have history. We'll talk to whoever we need to. ~~And not announce our vigilante intentions out in the open like morons Harry and Captain Unsubtle.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miracleworker 2016-08-07 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	If he tried to kill someone else you should have informed the police so they could have detained him. Just because they had history doesn't mean that he was responsible for his murder but it could provide motive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	goodvibrations 2016-08-07 02:05 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, I know you're full of good intentions here, but don't assume you know everything. There was hospital time involved last time, so the people in charge were aware, we didn't just hunker down in our corner with our secret handshakes and not tell anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miracleworker 2016-08-07 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any offence. If you believe this person is responsible I'm sure the police will have drawn the same conclusion as well and will investigate him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
