Location cannot be disclosed, Kansas, Revenant house
11:00 amIn all the confusion at the school Tyler had been able to slip away un-noticed after getting Ambriel back inside. That was the easy part, the hard part was running flat out to the home that the Revenant had been sending him to for picking up new gear to practice with,

"Tyler? Did you make it to the address I sent you?"

There's a lot background noise: wind, mostly, and a rapid chud-chud-chud.

[tyler_marlocke]

Huff -"Yeah"- Puff. -"I'm"- Wheeze. -"..here..."- Tyler managed to get out into the comm unit, taking a good moment to get his wind back.

"You made good time. Stand clear of the driveway."

Even as he's speaking, the garage door opens and a car pulls out-a late-model Ford sedan, something utterly inconspicuous of which no one would question seeing a child in the back seat. It pulls to a halt in front of Tyler and the trunk pops slightly open.

"Please get your gear from the trunk. I trust you'll find it matches your preferred equipment from our training sessions. Then, hop in the car."

Not much room to argue, and soon enough, Tyler's no longer wheezing, and has everything loaded with him in the back seat. Much to a completel lack of surprise, it's the driving machine that's going to be chaffuering him on this villian chase, as he peers up over the back of the driver's seat.

-"Where am I going?"-

"Okay," says the drive-through attendant at SuperSonic, "that's a garden salad wrap, two double cheeseburgers, nine orders of fries, three Atlas Burgers™, no onions, a Number Four combo, a chicken sandwich, a twenty pack of Chicken Asteroids™, three chocolate shakes, one vanilla, and five Cokes. Will that be all?"

[npc238]

"Yeah," says the bearded man in the floppy hat, accepting his order. "You got any of the Super-Kid Meal™ video game watches left?"

[npc238]

= I can't believe they find such simple devices amusing, = says a metallic voice as the van pulls away.

[npc238]

"Don't you remember being a kid, Irons?"

Having gotten his lunch and extra change, Tyler climbed into the backseat to eat lunch and think about things. Except he was kind of distracted, he hadn't noticed the Advertisement for Earth Defense League Video Game Watches.

[justiceoverlaw]

"Did the children look okay to you?" asks the dashboard.

[tyler_marlocke]

"I think so, they all got video game watches." Tyler replied, setting aside his bag and the watch to look through the quarters. "Missouri, Vermont, Missippi..."

The Revenant's voice over the computer is droll. "This kidnapping sponsored by SuperSonic™, the fast-food chain of heroes."
