Amethyst<br/><br/>Amethyst nodded her understanding. Apparently 'on me' meant something different in the four plus years she'd been growing up on Gem World, unless the ice warrior was from somewhere else herself.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkorchid">"Let's see what the trouble is, then. Follow me."</span>She led the way back the way they came, running with sword in hand.<br/><br/>Artemis<br/><br/>Artemis let out a<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">WOOP!</span>as she was whisked down the steps and set down at the bottom.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"I'll thank you not to do that again.'</span>She muttered, 'dusting herself off' like some irritated house cat. And just like said feline, she actually didn't mind it... Although she made a mental note to not stand in the way again.<br/><br/>Ember<br/><br/>Olive stayed silent, and even remained so despite giving a scrunched face one eye closed, wincing grimace at the loudness of the alarm.<br/><br/>Lady Shazam<br/><br/>Miriam reached the office just as her communicator went off with the computer recorded alert.<br/><br/>Mr. Arnaz facepalmed with a "Luuuucciieeee!'<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson">"I know, I know!  'Splainin' t'do! Not at school! Sorry. But it must be really important."</span><br/><br/>Mr. Arnaz shook his head. "Just go. I'll have your second take care of Buttke."<br/><br/>Miriam gave a sort of bow.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:crimson">"Thank you. I'll make this up to you..."</span><br/><br/>Arnaz nodded. "Yes you will. You're now also a news reporter for the school newspaper and your first assignment is whatever set off your stupid alarm!"<br/><br/>Miriam sighed, nodded, went outside, changed to Lady Shazam and zipped to HQ, breaking the new speed limit upon entering.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:silver"><i>C004 Welcome Back Lady Shazam. Please turn yourself over for proper disciplinary action. Speed in 77.777 mph. Speed limit is 20.000 mph. Leeway is only 5.000 mph over. Have a nice day.</i></span><br/><br/>Velocity<br/><br/>Windy blinked at Echo. No costume? Fries or tater tots? Potatoes did sound like a good idea, but then the alarm went off and she left the kitchen area, everything back in refrigerator in the blink of an eye. Nobody said anything about the speed to put things up... Just running. Noticing Lady Shazam get busted she thought out loud.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:hotpink">"Maybe it could be overlooked since there's an emergency?"</span>She then said in a surprising dead on Don Adams impersonation, looking right at Nightstar,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:hotpink">"You rang, Chief?"</span><br/><br/>Zatanna & Zatara (both NPC)<br/><br/>Zatanna rolled her eyes and sighed. Oh<b><u>brother </u></b>was Batman getting a major magic wedgie now. Nightstar wasn't standing down as she suggested. Well... All but ordered.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:blue">"What good is my mentoring if it's ignored?"</span><br/><br/>Zatara said nothing, but watched everyone race to the front... Including Lady Shazam at breakneck speed in comparison to even the speedsters. He looked at Velocity and said "Cornbread" causing that speedster to raise her eyebrow in surprise. Finally he looked at his daughter. "You heard the pink speedster's question. Mentor that. I doubt Nightstar will not listen there. Besides, you know how Batman is when he insists on these exercises... However, this isn't an exercise. It's for real. And I'm in. You'll need a stronger magic wielder." He then bowed gracefully to Nightstar, cape flapping behind. "I'm yours to command on this mission, Nightstar."<br/><br/>Zatanna nodded.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:blue">"No, Velocity. Lady Shazam shall be disciplined afterwards. An emergency is no excuse to break in house rules."</span><br/><br/>She then folded arms to listen to what Nightstar's plans were and offer help. Oracle did make her mentor for the foreseeable future.
