Barbara heeded her daughter's warning and did turn the news on. What she saw and incredibly freighting and something just had to be a prank....Zombie?! In Columbus, Ohio?! Oh, let this be a movie stunt!<br/><br/>She was about to call Mikayla when her work's alarm goes off. An intruder who was snarling and tearing at the front doors...the zombie smelt pumping blood and was on the verge of starving. It manages to bust through with its new strength and takes out the security going to force him out. The panic starts and Barbara doesn't even wait to see what it was. She takes the back entrance and goes to Aerius's old and much simpler home.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Aerius was setting out the food and toppings.<br/><br/>"Help yourself, girls.", he tells them, "The depression will soon turn to anger and determination. Need to keep that strength up for the training."<br/><br/>He leaves them to their thoughts and stomachs to check on Ryan. While in the room, he hooks up and IV and some blood to him. Aerius already knew his blood type so he wasn't worried about that. He checks the online chat room of Apocalyptic. It was blowing up and everyone was saying DocA214 and some others were right and calling out to Doc A for what to do. He orders them to start saving people and get to Chicago.<br/><br/>He sighs and rubs his face....so this is how the fictional heroes of the comic world felt.....the world resting on his shoulders.
