A Call To Arms

"Really?" Chin-Su looks in amazement at Roy. "THAT'S what you're concerned with?"

"If we stop at the Aerie in Midway City, we could get the spaceship..."

Roy is surprised.

"Well, I don't want to attack the wrong one, Chin-Su!"

"And Vina, we don't need the ship. My ring can take us into space!"

The sky darkens to black, as the stars come out, and the glowing blue curve of the Earth rolls away to one side.

"I'm pretty sure ..."

Vina looks at the Earth. Are the marks in the ground more snake-like or wolfy?

The tracks in the Arctic are sinuous, such as a snake might make.

Having heard they were more snake-like.... but that the wolf was heading to the Earth... Vina asks if anyone could make a shrink ray...

Roy exclaims, "I could sure give it a try!"

And when he does, the airtight bubble around everyone starts to fade into invisibility.

"Whoops!" says Roy. "Okay, can't do two things at once. Good to know! So now I'll make a shrink ray INSIDE the bubble ..."

Chin-Su looks from the planet-sized serpent to his hand, and wiggles his fingers helplessly. "My time might be better spent helping out in Gotham."

He adds under his breath "...if there's anyone left to help."

There aren't any other supers around here, are there? Vina calls out on the radio.

"Any superpowered, good-natured folk trying to help out the situation? Over?"
