[b]Location: Lost Haven
Time: Early afternoon[/b]

[i]This girl looks only a few years older than my own, and yet she’s out here fighting the Hounds?[/i] David thought to himself as he eyed the girl, her short height already helped hint at her age, and yet he still couldn’t help but be surprised by how many young heroes he’d come across lately. David drew his gaze back to the square, where the water had managed to form into a menacing dragon.

David recognized the name the girl had spoken, the Babylonian god of the sea. [color=ed1c24]“Tiamat [i]huh[/i]? How fitting.”[/color]

[i]Maybe I should have taken Gaia instead.[/i]

---------------------------------------------------

It didn’t seem that long ago that David had lived a quiet life, safe from superhumans, Earth shattering powers, and the like. The fact that he was witnessing more and more metahumans with such power bothered him a little, but that might have been because he was becoming more and more involved. Still, he missed his quiet Sunday mornings, maybe this was a sign. The girl turned to the Hounds to cuff them, and like she said, it was time for him to handle some bigger problems, like those Hound helicopters.

[color=ed1c24]“I’m Terra Firma, your illusions were pretty cool, let’s team up again one day.”[/color] David gave a casual wave, even if she had turned around, before he finally jumped into the air. 

David flew closer to the square, most of the Hounds had run off, either from the threat of the water construct, or the smell.
[color=ed1c24]“What a curious smell you’ve discovered.”[/color] David grumbled to himself, he tried to pinch his nose shut, only for his thumb and finger to uselessly bump into each other, he grumbled again.

Tiamat didn’t look to be in control anymore, tendrils extending all around the plaza whipped every which way, striking at the Hounds that were still around, or at her friends and the police. He wanted to get down there and help her, but the Hound helicopters were a serious threat, tearing into the ground everywhere trying to hit heroes and police. It bothered him to just leave her as is but he had to prioritize now, he stretched out his hands and several thick walls of cement, stone, and dirt rose out of the ground, offering cover to the police and heroes. He hoped it would be enough to keep them safe as Tiamat struck at them and turned to face the Helicopters coming around his backside.

The sound of their blades twirling alerted him easily enough, giving him some time to try to maneuver around them, force them out of their cockpits maybe, except that failed. A burst of heavy machine gunfire shot him from the skies, grounding him on a nearby roof. His body slid across the roof as gunfire trailed behind his body.

[i]Alright, so I’m not faster than a helicopter. [/i]

David pushed himself off and into the air once more, aiming to dodge the helicopters now, instead of haphazardly running into them. It helps that he was smaller and more agile than they were, but good things don’t last forever. As evident by their continued machinegun fire, and a wave of missiles launching, right at him.

[i]Missiles? I’m a man! Not a jet![/i] David let his panic loose in his mind.

The stream of bullets and missiles crashed and exploded into his back, sending his body rocketing into the side of a building, he left a fiery trail behind him as his body rag dolled, but whether that was due to the missiles or his own body he didn't know. Debris from the wall and various office fixtures coated his laying body, his own landing had crushed several walls before he finally stopped, leaving a heavy dust cloud hanging in the building.

David started laying out his goals down in his mind, he wanted to bring these men down without killing them, a good thunderbolt could short out their computers, then he’d have to catch them, they weren’t too high, but still. The thumping of the helicopters’ blades grew louder and he knew he had to act now. As they came closer to investigate their blades pushed back the dust cloud, David burst out, and past the two helicopters. Luckily for them they both had the sense to hold their fire, but David had already started his plan as soon as he left the building.

[color=ed1c24]“I was looking forward to an easy weekend, let me help you show you what I mean!”[/color] David shouted as his hands shot to the sides, stretched out into the air.

Lightning gathered around his body as the air around him charged and snapped with electricity. David gathered his hands close to his chest, the lightning followed his movements and gathered in between his palms, forming a brilliant blue orb, he then thrust his arms out and the electricity shot outwards with a thunderous boom, colliding into the sides of the helicopters, leaving a dent and a deep scorch mark into the armor. 

Electricity violently surged through the vehicles, the blades stopped spinning and they began to quickly fall. David held his breath as he reached for his Earth powers again, the ground underneath the copters rumbled and several large hands emerged from the ground, the helicopters splashed into the muddy palms of his dirt hands with a wet thud only moments later.

[color=ed1c24]“Phew.”[/color] David said, he wrapped up by turning the muddy hands hard again, tilting them upside down, and coiled their fingers around the helicopters, keeping the Hounds inside trapped.

[color=ed1c24]“This superhero thing is getting easier all the time.”[/color]
