Valkyrie

Shit Show pt.2

~~*~~

Maybe it's a memory or I read it in a magazine

But I swear I'd see your faces staring up at me

Maybe this song is self-aware

And I'm singing here and you're standing there

Waiting for the show to go on

Honestly, it's a shit show, my God

"I wouldn't be asking for your help but Omni-man is dealing with a Kaiju ten time-zones away, and the New Guardian's are a shit show. So, here we are." Cecil's spoke, his voice reverberating in their ears form their comms.

"Thanks Cecil, really feel the love." Stella deadpanned, both Mark and Eve wincing on their friends behalf. A heavy sigh was heard over the comms.

"Target is Doc Seismic." Cecil started, informing them about this Doc Seismic, how he was an actual Doctor and how he had used his education to not get a job like any other normal person but instead made a pair of earthquake gloves. Which had scrambled his brains so bad from the side effects he doesn't even seem to know why he is attacking. But he is and that's the problem.

"So, you're basic mad scientist deal?" Eve simplified.

"Ooh, it's been a while since I've dealt with one of those." Stella chirped in, earning grins from both Eve and Invincible.

"Have fun, kids. And try to remember it's a national treasure down there." With that Cecil signed off, no doubt watching their locations on the big screen in the control room at the Pentagon.

"It's been fun Invincible, but this is where I detach." Stella pulled away just far enough to where their noses brushed against each other. Mark's face went red, his heart seizing in his chest, "You gotta let me go now."

"Right, right." Mark's arm around her back was replaced with a blue layer of energy as his hand slid across her spine. Letting go fully, he watched as she spun and stabilized underneath him and Eve. Never in his life did he think this would be something he would get to experience. Valkyrie not only knowing who he was and fighting beside him as a hero. But seeing him as a friend. As someone she could trust, and maybe even-

"Invincible, on me! Eve you know what to do!" Stella called, speeding like a bullet, Mark following her lead, watching the face of Abraham Lincoln falling. Stella diving down to the wooden walking path, landing and rolling skidding to a stop next to a group of junior park rangers and their supervisor. Throwing up a shield around them all. Mark dived down, listening to the doctor as he caught the large piece of American history. Abraham's nose inches away from Stella's shield.

"Wow man, I'm still working on my one liners, but that one was really bad." Mark criticized the villain, lifting the head and placing it back where it belonged. Stella disengaged her shield and helped the civilians stand. Checking each of the children before checking in on the park ranger. "That's how you get ahead in life. See it's not quite there. It's not there."

Stella just glanced at the boy in the sky and shook her head. "Now's not the time Invincible!" She levitated the park ranger and kids to safety before flying up to Eve and Mark in the sky.

"We need to take out his gloves." Eve put forward.

"I second that." Stella agreed.
