[h2]Celia Clarke: Plummeting towards the Denver Streets[/h2]
As soon as Sonika caught the gun, she cocked the hammer back and pointed it directly at Celia's forehead. There was no flourish, no performance, just cold calculated dominance. Before the supervillain could speak again, her gaze shifted past Furnace and Celia. In a slow motion, Celia turned around and saw a giant black fly approaching with two people riding it. As Celia watched, she suddenly noticed an unencrypted frequency emanating from the two passengers. "-I see something on top of some office building around 200 feet tall. Try to get there as fast as you can, me and G4M3R are heading towards there  now." Celia caught the signal a bit late, but it was enough to identify at least one of the people riding the fly. The hint that there was a third member one of the mountees was communicating with was not lost.

The web returned plenty of results as far as G4M3R's persona; a streamer and parahuman of the Tinker classification. His ears allowed him to magnify sounds, or something like that-he hadn't put too much information out. As Celia downloaded and reviewed G4M3R's streams from front to  back as fast as possible, she found out who the fly belonged to: A tinker named Artificer, who was G4M3R's friend. A response came from a walkie-talkie on the ground, a confirmation of movement. The occupants of the fly arrived at the roof, apparently ready to assist, though Furnace seemed none too pleased about this. Artificer, identifiable as [i]not G4M3R[/i], declared that Sonika was outnumbered. Sonika controlled the air with immense power, and he thought that the current lineup could subdue her? Doubtful. unless he had some secret weapon up his sleeve.

Celia slowly turned back to Sonika, who seemed to be trying to murder the cocky hero with her eyes as opposed to using her power. No harm in trying. She responded with a measured tone, pointing out that every person on scene was a hostage excluding Furnace. A beat passed, before Sonika suddenly shifted the hammer of Celia's revolver to the safer position, and spoke again. She spoke some parting words, and a concussive blast of air exploded underneath her. The force sent Celia tumbling once again, her shock only matched by the speed of her quick descent. Celia once again did trajectory calculations, and was surprised to find that the first one exactly matched her current fall. [b][i]Of course. Sonika isn't around to move the air, so I'm just falling normally[/i][/b] Celia thought, and shifted into a position that would help her fall slower. A figure rocketed off the side of the building Celia had just been on top of, heading straight towards her. With impressive form, Celia found herself in the arms of some green clad avenger, who brought her down on a slope that had risen to meet the young woman's feet.

The 'savior' carefully set Celia down on the roof, and asked her if she was doing okay. How selfless. Celia nodded in response, an almost imperceptible motion that would leave the less observant confused if it was purposeful or not. The android turned around, looking in the direction Sonika had fled, and was shocked to see a creature straight out of Love Craftian horror rising into the sky to chase her. A careful scan of the web revealed absolutely nothing. This creature didn't seem to be an endbringer, but was apparently making one of its first appearances here and now.

Again her attention shifted as Artificer approached Celia and her savior. He remarked on Kyoshi-That was her name. Anyways, Artificer remarked on Kyoshi's condition, which Celia confirmed visually was quite poor. Celia [i]had[/i] been falling pretty fast, though it was useless now to remark that she would have survived regardless. The so called sacrifice was just a way to expedite the expected outcome. At the offer of Artificer's hand Celia nodded and used his assistance to board his strange mount. At first she seemed uncomfortable, though she shifted a bit and pressed herself against the young Tinker's back for stability. Personal space didn't seem to be a concern at the moment, though it was yet to be seen if it ever would be.
