Before the electric shock released

Cutting through the smoke Hercules hefts a large bench and gingerly sets it down before a group of fearful hostages.
Fear not citizens. Your escape and providence have arrived.
He gently guides as many hostages as possible to the bench before the remaining ones disappear in the thick haze dodging debris and superpowers.
Unable to help any more hostages Hercules gives a swift kick to the bench. The elegant filigree imbeds further into the furniture and the wood splinters over the concrete as the bench careens toward the police barricades.
