Eddie's been frozen in fear since the cuffs were placed on his wrists.  He's a good little prisoner, staying quiet until he can't take the sound of the guy next to him gasping.  It's too close to the sound of his own 'asthma' (panic attacks) and he's on the verge of having an episode.  He can't even use his powers to help the guy feel better, not with the cuffs on.  He looks up at the guard and speaks in a near whisper, just loud enough to be heard.] 

Okay, we'll be quiet, dude.  But you hit him hard.  This guy needs a doctor and an x-ray.  He could be bleeding inside and need surgery and blood transfusions.  All that shit.
