Dragen pointed his fingers and tendrils of dark energy surrounded The Wonder’s throat, holding him in place. “It looks like you control light.” His smirk turned into a grin. “Me too.”
Back at Wielders HQ, Tinker yelled at Operator One. “Send out a major PK threat alarm! If he can do that to Paragon and The Wonder…”
Tinker felt a metal gloved hand resting gently on his shoulder. It was Sound Freeq. “Does this mean you’re letting us off our leash?”
Tinker frowned. Not only did he not appreciate Sound Freeq touching him, but he also didn’t like the fact that he had to send his team against someone with the power to kill the entire planet.”I have to.”
Sound Freeq removed him hand from Tinker’s shoulder and touched a small button on his helmet, near his ear. “Everybody to the Clearing. This is not a drill. Threat Level PK. Repeat. Not a drill.”
Tinker kept his eyes on the monitor. Sound Freeq hadn’t left yet. Tinker already knew what he was going to say. He said it before every major mission and since super powered heroes could be as superstitious as professional athletes, Tinker let the older man say what he had to say so that he could say it and get to leaving.
Sound Freeq looked at him seriously. “Don’t worry. I’ll bring everybody home.”
The field leader turned and left. Tinker spoke softly so that only Operator One could hear him. “Concentrate on defeating him. Or else we’re all dead.”
