Gravity Heroes

Chapter 44

Bunker

Wildbill is sitting at a table with Ford with an empty duffel bag on the floor and the table loaded with weapons.

"There was another fire down in Piedmont. My gym got torched, luckily we had a show tonight so the rings were already out of the building but everything else was toasted." Wildbill sad looking at his friend's uncle, "I'm planning on teaching the kids how to use these weapons and defend themselves against them also. Based on these model's do you think you and the other science squad members can make some improvements to their designs once I've finished they're training?"

"Once we get done with the Bunker it should be easy," Ford said picking up various weapons and looking them over.

"Ok, I've got to go down to Piedmont when Adam goes and have an interview with the arson detective in charge of the investigation.", Wildbill explained before adding, "Plus I'm gonna keep an eye on Adam to make sure nothing happens to him while he's still down there. I failed Elaine, I'm not gonna fail Adam."

"Hmph. You didn't fail Elaine," Ford said looking at his nephew's friend, "Someone went and took her from Adam and the kids."

"I know, but I had promised that I would watch over her till she arrived up here.", Wildbill said as he stood up and started to walk away,"And in that way I have failed."

Tambry's Lair

Tambry sat at her bank of computers and was furiously typing away. She was writing new code to install in the computers once the Bunker was up and running. This program will allow them to run quicker searches through out the various Police and news databases to help identify and quantify the various criminals the group will come across. She has already added the data she knows about the Squires and the Purple Haze Gang in order to give the database a parameters to build the databases around. She had also started to work on a database on her friends powers and abilities, but that one she kept on a flash drive around her neck.

Tab's icon appeared on the second screen with a word balloon saying, 'Mi'lady, I have finished the database collection of the new powers that have appeared though out the realm.'

"Good. I'll look at it in a moment," Tambry said barely looking up from her screen.

'Your spell work is excellent mi'lady.' Tab said apparently reading the code work on the other screen.

"I'm just working out code work, there's no spells going on here." Tambry said trying to work out why Tab was calling this spell work.

'In your world it maybe be code, mi'lady, but in the digital realm it is powerful spell work infused with your own powers.' the new balloon reads.

That actually caused her to pause in her typing and look over at him.

'Hey toots, I have some video for you.' Asta's word balloon read.

"Play it," Tambry said.

'Alright toots.' Asta said.

The screen lit up with a video of what appeared to be a hospital hallway. She recognized one of the nurses in the hall from a picture the twins showed her of their mother. A lady in a white lab coat walked up to her and started talking.

'There is no audio, but among my programs is on that is a lip reading program. The Dr. identifies herself as Nox, which is latin for night. She said she worked at St Brigid's. She also says she is covering for a Dr. Corazon, which according to the police reports I read about the accident was with your friends mother in the crash.' Asta said in her new balloon.
