It could also be Apocalypti," Director Brand then said as he voiced his problems. "In which case I wish I had more then a pistol." With that said aloud, she led the way down another road, meandering down past a pair of scrawny looking dogs scurrying across the street, and a pair of abandoned cars that apparently crashed into each in one of the intersections. Heading closer to the airport, she then glanced up, noticing the control tower and realizing if they could see it, that meant if someone was in there, they could see them as well. She frowned, wishing she had realized that earlier.<br/><br/>But it had be a long week.<br/><br/>Almost as if confirming her realization, the sound of an automobile motor cut through the chilling quiet of the abandoned city as a moment later, Director Brand waved for Nightcrawler to move out of sight as she saw desert patterned Egyptian military humvee rumbling around the corner. It was an Avenger air defense vehicle, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/TWQ-1_Avenger) which had four surface to air missiles mounted in a launcher on the back. Hanging off of the passenger side was a policeman. Director Brand, without looking at Nightcrawler to reveal his position, simply holstered her pistol and waved at them while standing in the middle of the road. She hated being so trusting. But she did want to make contact. Just out of earshot, the Humvee Avenger vehicle, perhaps ironically named, parked about fifty meters short of Director Brand, as the police officer hopped off of the side of the vehicle and approached her.<br/><br/>As he did so, another vehicle pulled up behind the Avenger which looked like a simple militarized Jeep Wrangler 4x4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Wrangler). There was a driver and a soldier manning a machine gun on the back, which looked to of been a recent addition to the jeep.<br/><br/>"Who the hell are you? British?" the police officer asked in accented, but good English.<br/><br/>"American. I'm with SWORD. We're an international agency... like SHIELD-," she started to explain when the driver of the Humvee peeked his head out of the window.<br/><br/>"You are Director Brand!" the driver stated excitedly, word of her apparently having reached here already.<br/><br/>"Why are you here?" the police officer asked, suddenly terrified. "The city has been evacuated! Are they coming here?" he asked, already trembling.<br/><br/>She blinked, then shook her head vigorously. "No. Not yet. Not yet anyways," she replied. "Listen my friend and I need some help-," she started to explain when the driver of the Humvee suddenly stepped out.<br/><br/>"Of course we will help you and your friend!" the army driver said, cutting off the police officer before he could even respond. "We would be glad to help our Sword of Port Said! Where is your friend?" he then asked, obviously not seeing him around here anywhere.<br/><br/>She frowned. Sword of Port Said? Clearly something was lost in translation. "Okay. Just... be careful," she then warned. "He's a mutant okay. But he's a good guy!" she then said, as the police officer almost immediately started to back away towards the Humvee Avenger, as the driver simply took off his sunglasses, wanted to get a good luck at whoever it could be that had the honor of being a traveling companion of the local legend that was Abigail Brand, Sword of Port Said. Realizing this was the best she could manage, she called out to her companion. "Kurt. Try not to give them a heart attack," she then said, actually feeling rather confident that they wouldn't shoot at him out of hand.<br/><br/>Well... 95% chance anyways.<br/><br/>The other 5% well, it's not like he's never been shot at before.
