The Truth Will Out

It's just a normal day in the Atop the Fourth Wall household. Which, of course, means they're getting attacked by random assailants.
Harvey always knows that he could do a lot better in these fights if he really tried. But the kids are competent enough that they don't really need him to back them up with much more than plain old human firepower - so he tries not to feel guilty. If they ever really, REALLY needed something extra, he'd step in. He just always hopes today won't be that day.
Today, though, they might not be the ones needing help. The first bullet catches him in the chest, figuratively knocking the breath out of him. He stands no chance of avoiding the other two, and they throw him back into the wall, where he slides to the ground with a groan of pain.
Shit.
