"...wait a second." He says something into a comm device, but doesn't drop out of his fighting stance. Sadde walks closer to Ellie, looking upset.

She doesn't seem like a threat. Ellie angles the forcefield to cover her too.

They stay like that, in silence, for a couple more seconds, and then a cape in a blue-and-white costume arrives. He observes the scene, then asks, "What's going on?"

Permalink

"She rescued me and he," she points at the other cape, "thinks she—I don't know, hurt me or something, and doesn't want to help us and he's supposed to help us and so are you."

Permalink

Still skeptical.

Permalink

"Sparkle, stand down, please."

    "But—"

"This is an Endbringer event and I am not going to argue with you right now. Go back to your post."

    "—okay." He flies off.

"I'm Legend," new cape introduces. "I'm sorry about him, he was on edge and spooked by a young girl with powers."

"Okay."

Forcefield remains in place.

"Are either of you hurt? Thirsty? Hungry?"

Permalink

"Okay. I need to go back to fighting that beast, but I think you would both be safer if you went with a colleague of mine to the refugee station. They have teleporters working on evac."

Permalink

She looks at Sadde.

Permalink

Scared but hopeful.

Permalink

"Hopefully I'll see you later." He flies off.

Permalink


"I guess we should go, then."

Permalink

"Yeah." There's a tremor, but nothing crumbles due to it.

Permalink

Over to the people, then.

Permalink

No one reacts hostilely to them. Is she a new trigger? She should be careful with her powers. They should go over there with those people waiting to be teleported.

Permalink

Yyyeah. Okay.

To the teleport group.

Permalink

Some more people arrive. They are told it will feel bizarre.

And it does. The world lurches sideways, they're pulled from their navels and inside down and upside out and there are inexplicable colours and then they're in front of a hospital and being sorted according to how bad their injuries are.

There's a cape with a helmet covering the upper half of his face there. He walks up to the girls. "Are you the new trigger?"

Permalink


"We both are."

Permalink

He looks at Sadde. She shuffles her feet a little but nods. "Come with me?" he asks.

Permalink

He starts leading the way to a tall, armored building.

Permalink

Which doesn't collapse because they're not near the monster anymore, right?

Permalink

Right!
