The Novel Guardian

[electricalcurrent]

[Action]

While Spark was quite excited about being accepted into the Omegafriends, the fact the base was sealed off put a rain on her parade. She took a few moments to study the inscription on it which is to say Zapps took a photo of it before she decided to rip through it. "BLADES!" She yelled before charging up her arm blades. She cut a precise round hole through the first layer of blocks, using as high energy blades as she could muster. "SOLAR PANELS!" She stated, loudly. It would draw attention how she shouted her moves before doing them no doubt. Her thrusters changed into solar panels, basking in the warm sun of mid day.

Finding another layer of rock, Spark let out a long, frustrated growl. She brought her fist back and punched this wall, which just hurt them both. She was still in blades mode, not fists! She clutched her hand, flailing it around some to let out the soreness. Then she noted the extra clues on this layer. What was this all about? She knew Blue Bird or Lady Blue or Big Blue had been up to something, but she wasn't entirely up to speed on her taking the base or whatever she did.

Maybe someone might help her?

"So the base seems to be blocked off or whatever. I don't know. Do we have a new meet up point as heroes or we just in limbo on that? Also anyone see the symbols? I took a few pictures of what I saw before giving up. I figure security for the Omegabase doesn't work like that."

"Oh, right. I'm The Electrical Current! New on the team and all that. Nice to meet you all."

He leaned away slightly when the suit hissed the release of air pressure, and then watched her little stretching exercise with a strange sort of fascination, head tilted. He couldn't quite figure out if she was a sentient suit of armor or if there was a person inside the armor. Six to one, half-dozen to another.

He chuffed a little when she asked after him.

"Neither, really," he said. "I'm a cameraman. I'm not part of the OmegaFriends by any means," Correction: not that he remembered. "But I tend to get mixed up in a lot of "hero" business in my line of work."

"That would explain why you would be here at least. Well, should take a few pictures right? Or need to wait for the reporter to be here?" She would have quirked him a smile if she wasn't behind the mask of the suit.

[okayeverybody]

He seemed to understand the intent of smiling regardless of the mask, and smiled in return, chuckling.

"I could wait for a reporter," he said mildly. "But the friend of mine who is one isn't always the most punctual of people, so I'll snap a few on my own." And so he did, moving forward to get a few photos of the writing on the wall encasing the base.

[electricalcurrent]

She lets him take the pictures. Could be helpful to the whole team after all and there wasn't anything bad about reporters reporting the news. Best let the city know there might be danger afoot! "So you from here originally or elsewhere?"

[okayeverybody]

Plus the more people that saw the strange writing, the faster they were liable to find an answer to the riddle. He stepped back and flipped through the photos he took to make sure they were in focus and then shut off his camera, turning with a quirked smile.

"From here, I think." Because he didn't really know, for sure.

[electricalcurrent]

"Just... think?" She tilted her head to the side in a questioning manner. How does one just think they are from a place? She didn't know.

[okayeverybody]

He nodded, making an affirmative sound.

"I only remember so much," he said airily, fiddling with his camera to avoid eye contact.

[electricalcurrent]

"Oh... sorry to hear that. Did you... suffer a bad injury or is neurological?" she asked, in her best concerned voice she had.
