Both projections recoil, the one still holding onto Merritt actually dissolving into a pillar of dark smoke without Ben there to hold it together and at such close range. The other, unfortunately, manages to hold itself together and get itself together and comes at Merritt again, the swarm on the other end of the lobby moving all at once, too, presumably to join the fray.
They all freeze again, however, when the elevator doors ding open, breaking the silence beyond the shuffling of feet.
Dylan steps out a second later, making a quick assessment of the situation, something behind his eyes wild, worried, and then he's darting for Merritt -- or, more accurately, the projection behind him. Pushing him away, hard and fast enough to slam him against the security grate behind him, Dylan peels back before he skids into it himself and turns to face Merritt. "We're gonna have a talk, when we get out of here, but right now, we need to move."
