Log:Something on the Horizon

2020/06/03 Sentinel Arthur Aevus 1

Griffin is on the West Coast- grappling a cable car strung between two mountains, holding the line tight so the other cars don't fall while maintaining his grasp on the car that would surely be doomed if his grasp should slip.

He grits his teeth as he scans the situation, trying to find a solution that would endanger the least number of people.

There's a familiar FLASHfffzzzt sound, and the weight on one of the cable car becomes imperceptibly havier to him. The loading door swings open and a confused Arthur Aevus sticks out his head to get his bearings before looking down at Griffin. "Ah, there you are! We have a bit of a situation on our hands of potentially epic proportions, and I'm looking for a few good men," he smiles. He looks at the cars held up on the line. "Oh, I see you're busy. Well, when you have a moment. I can wait," he says nonchalantly and ducks back into the car.

"Oh- sure, Doc. I'll be right with you. Just let me save all these people from cerain peril." Griffin says before hoisting the doomed car and the cable, bringing it to his lips- clenching the steel cable in his teeth so he can bring the two points into close contact. He then flash steps away- grasping the other cable end and flying right back ot where he was.

He grasps the other line as the doomed car begins to fall.

He welds the cable lines together with his laser eyes as he begins to count.

After a 5 count he flash steps to the plummeting car to catch it and his friend aboard. No pressure right?

Arthur braced himself and grabbed one of the handholds, smiling to the other passengers. "Hold on, it's going to be a bumpy ride," he warns. They look at him in bewilderment and do as he does. As the car drops, they all start screaming. But Arthur? Arthur holds tight and pulls out his fog watch to check the time. "And...now," he says as their descent begins to slow when Griffin catches them. No pressure!

The cable car's lighting and radio system come to life in Griffin's grasp and his voice soon follows, coming over the speakers on either side of both sides of the cabin.

<> He says as he flies that way and sets the car down so he can sync up with Arthur.

Arthur steps out of the car casually once it's set done and applauds. "Well done, Mr. Freeman, well done!"

Griffin laughs, bringing his hands up modestly to waive away the applause. Of course the panicked people behind Arthur are relieved to be on solid ground once more and they join in, cheering on Griffin. He tries his best to calm the situation and accept the praise- something he's usually in favor of avoiding.

Unfortunately for him- Arthur has him on the hook. He isn't going any where until he knows about this situation.

"It's my pleasure folks- I'm just glad everyone is alright. Please enjoy the rest of your vacation." Griffin says to his adoring public before nodding away from the mountain resort indicating that Arthur should follow so they can speak in private.

Arthur is happy to see Griffin get the praise he deserves, following along until they're in some seclusion. "A situation has literally arisen off the east coast that I think will need your attention. Starguard and legal authorities are gathering to address it, but I have a feeling someone like you will be needed most once we discover...what we are to discover. A manmade land is emerging from the waters from the ocean floor itself, with no sign of how it's being done. There is most certainly intelligence and engineering behind it. Will you join me in coordinating with Starguard's efforts, my good man?" he smiles. As Griffin is actually HER good man, so the phrasing has a different meaning for Arthur.

Griffin listens intently to Doctor Aevus. "Huh- I guess that's a new one to me Doc, but if you think I should be there then you've got yourself a Super Soldier. I'll radio ahead now and let Starguard COmmand know we'll coordinate with them as needed."

Arthur claps his hands together and smiles. "Excellent. I knew I could count on you, Mr. Freeman. Let's go!"
