Artemis keyed her commlink. "Sorry, Double-B, I left my tuning fork arrow in my other quiver."
"But my GPS still works."
"Apologies. There are incidents in play. I will reconvene with you all when I return. Beetle, please check the junction point. Be careful. It is unstable. And I sense there is a lot more at play than we currently realize."
The Guardian tapped his earpiece. "Beetle, I am headed in. Follow my tracker. Thank you for your help." John tapped his shield and brought the energy shield flickering to life, drawing a futuristic looking pistol with his other hand. He grimaced as he began to pick his way back down the tunnel.
Jaime zeroed in on the transmission of The Guardian, using his radio signal to find and land at the location of the battle. Wreckage was strewn all about, concrete chunks and twisted re-bar everywhere, along with piles of bricks and mortar, powder and dust. Jaime landed lightly, his transparent wings fading away, or folding into his back, depending on ones point of view. The great armored head turned this way and that, eyes scanning the vicinity. The background signal he was perceiving was stranger here. He still couldn't quite tell exactly what it was...
"Guardian, this is Beetle, I am on location and heading into the tunnel behind you. Please proceed carefully, there seems to be...aw hell, I don't know what it is. But something here is not right and I garentee you it's a trap of some sort. I'm coming up rapidly on your six, try not to shoot me."
There was a streak of black and blue as the Beetle boosted Jaime's speed. He wasn't as fast as the Flash, but he was faster than an unaided human eye could follow. He tore off after the Guardian, a very bad feeling rising in his chest.
