[Barry watches in quiet, stunned awe as the raw force trapped in the core of the stone explodes and expands all around them, finding and changing dust and dirt and debris in an incredible display of transmutation magic. It shouldn't be possible. This is highly advanced and complicated magic that could go very wrong very easily, but it's working, piecing Taako back together like an intricate puzzle. Even as he's watching it happen past the blurry veil of tears, past the blood and dirt on his glasses, Barry doesn't dare let go of the elf during the whole process, keeping his hands on his shoulders, anchoring him to the ground.
When it's over, when the swirls of magic dissipate leaving Taako with soft new skin under his shredded clothing, the hole going right through him no longer there, Barry lets out a shaky breath he hadn't realized he was holding. His brother-in-law speaks, and it's like the world falls back into place around him with a sickening thud. Heavy, nauseating, but right. It worked. He made it.]
Taako... [Barry's voice trembles, breath hitching, tears coming in earnest now. He lets go of his shoulders, settling back on his heels, pulling his glasses off and hiding his face as relieved sobs wrack his body in waves.] O-Oh my god, Taako...
