«We Could be Heroes»

Rex shifted his weight slightly off of them. He looked at Thomas, his eyes telling him to drop the shield.

Thomas stared at him. "You could die..." Thomas began then stopped, staring at his eyes. That, Thomas thought. That is what it is to be a friend. To be able and willing to give up your life for each other. To do anything for each other. That is what it is. I have to drop the shield. I have to trust Rex. He nodded. "Okay, Rex." And dropped the shield.

Gage's other flip-flop slid off, though no one noticed. Left like a dead thing on the sidewalk. Soldiers gathered round them, lifing the burden from their shoulders as they walked out into the sunlight. "He'll be okay." One assured them, quietly. One even put Zen's arm around himself to help him walk. Someone else put a reassuring hand on Jayne's shoulder.

Somehow the street seemed quieter. Cars honked just a little less. People quietened as they stopped and stared at what was happening.

Zen's shoulders sagged in relief. Ohhh Gage. Now free he walked over to River and put an arm around her. "Hey River. It's going to be okay."

The cyborg soldier glared at them from the ceiling, crawling along it like some kind of diseased animal. "Exterminate." He said as he curled his hands around a rafter.
"Exterminate." He said as his fingers slowly burrowed into the metal.
"Exteeerminaaate!" He said as screws went flying and the iron peeled from it's place. Screens hurled to the ground like bombs, exploding when they hit the ground. Hunks of concrete and steel rained down on their heads.

Misty chuckles

(That's what I'm here for.)

Bullets glanced off of him as he pulled on the rafter. With a soft groan, the metal gave way and then snapped, sending the soldier hurtling towards them, bar raised over his head like a mallet.
Seconds later, the roof caved.

Without a second thought, Rex shifted into a wyvern & pounced Thomas & Misty, using himself as a shield.

Thomas stared at him. "You could die..." Thomas began then stopped, staring at his eyes. That, Thomas thought. That is what it is to be a friend. To be able and willing to give up your life for each other. To do anything for each other. That is what it is. I have to drop the shield. I have to trust Rex. He nodded. "Okay, Rex." And dropped the shield.

The moment Thomas dropped his shield Misty froze an unbreakable shield of ice over them, the ceiling hitting the shield with dull thuds. She stands up, "you guys ok?" She says with a smile

Thomas raised his hands, blue light surrounded them, and it barely stopped the roof from hitting them. "Ahhhh! I! Can`t! Hold! This! Much! Longer!"

They had just got out of the room and River had looked over her shoulder, when the room caved in. Her heart seemed to stop. She didn`t know Thomas had pulled the shield. "Thomas... Misty.... Rex.... No...." She whispered.

Without a second thought, Rex shifted into a wyvern & pounced Thomas & Misty, using himself as a shield.

The cyborg heaved the bar at them, just before lunging onto the wall, and bounding up and out of sight.
The dome crumbled, burying the three alive.

 

[RiverStorm]

Zen saw tears.

"We...must...move onward and forward...." Zen strained,"and don't........loook.....back..."

"'Move onward and forward'? What do you even mean? My brother just died. I`ll never get over that." She whispered.

 

[Fanci Feathers Marans]

(okay, Rex. Do your thing)

 

[RiverStorm]

Zen's shoulders sagged in relief. Ohhh Gage. Now free he walked over to River and put an arm around her. "Hey River. It's going to be okay."

River looked up at him. Horror in her eyes.

Jayne was surprised by the helping hands, if anything he had expected a fight when they ran in to the police. He sat down on the pavement relieved for a moment until he remembered the kids still in the basement.

He stood back up, "Officer, there are still some kids in the basement fighting some kind of cyborg. They need help."

Thomas stared at him. "You could die..." Thomas began then stopped, staring at his eyes. That, Thomas thought. That is what it is to be a friend. To be able and willing to give up your life for each other. To do anything for each other. That is what it is. I have to drop the shield. I have to trust Rex. He nodded. "Okay, Rex."

The cyborg heaved the bar at them, just before lunging onto the wall, and bounding up and out of sight.
The dome crumbled, burying the three alive.

Rex grunted as the roof fell on his back. He pushed up, knocking the roof off of his back. He grabbed them in his claws & flew out of the rubble, & gently laying them on the top. He looked at the cyborg, and breathed fire at him.

Jayne did his best to keep himself from laughing and dropping Gage. "Maybe we could take a squad car and take him to the hospital?"

Zen's shoulders sagged in relief. Ohhh Gage. Now free he walked over to River and put an arm around her. "Hey River. It's going to be okay."

"We are just going to get him to the closest safe building, then call an ambulance. We need to move him as little as possible." Said the soldier on Gage's right.
So they turned into that closest safe building, which just happened to be Starbucks, and laid Gage on a table.
The barista screamed.
