Eliot's jerking Damien back at almost exactly the same time, hand fisted tight in that expensive-ass suit as he bodily hauls him back and shoves the larger man behind him. There's no doubt that, no matter what Damien may think of his size, there's nothing but solid muscle under his suit. He's already got a gun in his free hand and he doesn't take his eyes off the corner, knowing it's only moments before the first intruder comes round it.
"Get your ass through the first door on the left, it's a solid core door that locks from the inside, and the furniture's heavy as hell," he orders, the words coming out rapid-fire and just loud enough for Damien to hear them. "Lock it, barricade it, and don't open it for anyone but me. Now go!" And then he shoves his gun into Damien's hand, gives him a shove, and lets go before producing another gun from somewhere under his suit (the paddle holster at the small of his back. And he has three more and a handful of knives besides)... and heading for the corner at a run. Because waiting for the bastards just gives them the advantage.
Three things happen as he rounds the corner: he hits his knees, sliding low on the polished floor to come at them from an unexpected angle, he opens fire, every bullet precisely aimed, and so do the other guys... mostly wildly off target as his assault takes them completely by surprise. And through it all he's still listening intently to make sure Damien's following his orders and getting the hell out of the line of fire, because if there's this many men here, who hadn't shown up on the security feeds, then there's probably more.
