The one comfort he held was that his home's transports were assaulted, perhaps suggesting that the attackers just wanted to stop the Eternals from aiding the humans. So maybe he was on his way to do the best he could. Unfortunately as he neared earth he realized the ship had been badly damaged in the escape and he had no manual control anymore, meaning his landing would be bumpy at best and a huge danger at worst. While earths atmosphere would burn up most objects like this he knew full well that the Eternal ship could easily withstand that and would crash down with full force. <br><br>When he neared the atmosphere Helios donned the heavy set of golden armor in the ship. He longed for answers as to who owned it, or what it had been for, but he had no long range communication to contact Titan. Instead he was just hoping that it would be able to protect him from the impact of the crash. Gravity hit and the ship began to tumble and plummet, eventually pointed directly at earth. Initially it seemed like a positive, as he soared towards the ocean. Far better than an impact on land at the least. And then he realised that directly ahead a large, strange platform towered out of the sea. He desperately tried to change course, but it was to no avail. All he could do was wait and prepare for the impact. <br><br>It was catastrophic immediately, and he was certain the platform itself was utterly destroyed as he and the ship speared through it and continued down into the depths of the dark ocean. Luckily the ship was of Eternal origin and infinitely more durable than almost anything on earth, being badly damaged but not breached. Helios himself was thrown about but relatively unharmed as he made his way to the exit. Water was a long way from his strong suit but he knew he would be able to reach the surface in moments. He took a deep breath and steadied himself, plunging into the icy cold and staring up. Having spent so long in space Helios was flooded with cosmic energy, and his eyes lit up a piercing gold that burnt even through the depths of the Atlantic. His rise was almost as meteoric as his fall, breaking the sound barrier underwater he shot from the sea to land among the ruins of the oil rig. He wasn't even entirely sure what it was as he looked around, a towering golden armor clad figure moving through the flames. Part of him was optimistic enough to debate seeking survivors, but it soon seemed pointless. After scanning the horizon he soon saw the U.S.S Byers, a ship that had been struck by the impact of the explosion. <br><br>Even at a glance it looked to be badly damaged and Helios sprung into action. Breaking into a sprint he leaped from the edge of the rig, taking flight again with a set of golden wings at his back. He might have looked almost angelic, if it were not for the spear in his grasp and the burning oil rig behind him. On landing he raised his hands, doing his best to appear non threatening and placing the spear at his back. He looked around on deck, a giant next to most of the humans around him, trying to find someone who could tell him how to help. Unfortunately so far he'd caused more panic than anything as it seemed like he was an attacker, although some had already noticed he was clearly not trying to attack the civilians on deck. He stayed quiet until he could find someone who seemed in charge, particularly because he wasn't sure of how to introduce himself to humans.

We turn her east and pour on the heat. We can make Perrin's by dark." The captain encouraged his crew as they stowed the gear from their fishing haul. The hull was heavy with tuna, not quite full, allowing for a rougher sea, yet making the ship ride low in the waters. The 101 meter trawler crew bustled efficiently as they cleared the nets. The seas were steady and the crew was amicable, this meant a paycheck, one they all needed.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Then the skies opened up and the spontaneous day that lasted only a few moments was enough to send dread through all of their hearts. The plummeting craft coursed through the sky to their north and west. Well that was unfortunate, that was where they were heading, then just as the night began to settle, the arcing blaze of smoke and atmospheric stress passed the horizon to brighten their night once again. That was when the first boom occurred, followed by the second in a surreal sense that the audio was several seconds late from the video, yet this was real life. "Captain?" The call came from a stout young woman six foot at the ear, who called up from the decking, her hair waving long and proud in the winds. Her scarlet peacoat bore years of loving use, and she was removing her gloves in readiness for what he ordered. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"Secure all hatches, turn us to the light. Batton and stow all below, it's about to get rough. Then get up here girl, may need ya." Noah Harrigan looked to the light, there would be trouble there, that was near the platform, and that had hit hard. Were they looking to a shockwave? Noah turned to the bridge as well, he needed to be inside. As he watched the swell rise in the distance his radio erupted in a distress call. "Mayday, mayday, mayday to anyone in receiving distance, this is the U.S.S. Byers and we are going down, repeat we are going down and require immediate assistance."<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Becca rolled through the door as the last of the distress call came over. "We will lend aid." That was all she said, though there brooked no argument from the Captain. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"Aye lass, but first we get through this. They are 8.7 nautical miles away and that is coming at us." He nodded to the swell sweeping across the surface of the ocean as he pointed to a marker he had placed on the charts. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;They were far enough out that the initial surge had crashed, but the mountain of water was still high as they were thrust skyward by the encroaching wave. As they crested the wave and descended into the ensuing trench following the wave, the captain called for all the power his craft could muster, and her crew fell in. "As soon as you can, you get in the water girl, I will have boats out to collect, but ye find out who is living and get them air. Right? Careful be, not all will like you, but let them hate you from the sand and not the grave." <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The wait was interminable, but there was no use her wearing herself out before she was close enough to help. It was a scene from a nightmare, the platform was nothing more than twisted metal with four shattered spears of iron and more jutting from the ocean. The waters held floating lakes of fire burning merrily upon the turbulent waters. The destroyer was listing to the port as it came into her crew scampering across the decking. As soon as she could take all of this in, she was bolting from the bridge, and that was the cue the captain called all hands to assist with rescue. They were still several minutes till they could drop rescue boats, but there were preparations to be made. All of the blankets were being lined up on the galley tables, Ropes and rescue lines were prepared and drop boats were hoisted and readied for descent. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Becca flowed through the waters like a shark, her body moving through the turbulence as she sought fallen forms moving from drifting sinking forms with surety. She was terrified, but this was her environment as much as the merman's. She found one, clinging to life and bore him quickly to some flotsam that would support his heavily injured form and securing this to another much larger floating bit of platform. She tagged the flotsam with a fish tracker. She hoped he would live. Then she was off again, making her way through the waters, making her way to the ship, for there was such utter destruction, she doubted any other was able to jump before they were destroyed.

" </em></strong><br><br>Daniel stopped dead still in the corridor as he forced himself to listen to Athena's briefing.&nbsp; The two ships in distress was enough, but the additional information about the platform's disaster protocols. Athena was right and even emergency systems such as the disaster protocols would have been deprived of power without regular maintenance performed by a crew, or supplies from Stane Industries.&nbsp; Either situations would had raised an eyebrow.&nbsp; Both together, and Athena was right to bring it to his attention.&nbsp; The ship would need assistance and Daniel was one of the very few who could perhaps provide them time to give rescue operations the best chance of success he could, and once the search and rescue was completed, allow him to further investigate both the platform, and the object which had caused all of the trouble in the first place.<br><br>Daniel pushed himself back from the wall, and moved towards the elevator.&nbsp; Once there he put his eye to the bio-metric scanner, as well as placed his finger in the DNA reader.&nbsp; Both accepted him and Daniel felt light headed as they elevator went speeding along its new course to his private lab.&nbsp; As he did so, Daniel touched his communication device again.&nbsp; <strong>"Athena thank you, this indeed was working interrupting me for.&nbsp; I shall be in the hanger in one minute.&nbsp; I am going to need spare Shield units.&nbsp; They have enough power to operate independent of the armor for a few minutes.&nbsp; It's not much time, so lets hope it will be enough."</strong>&nbsp; As soon as he finished, the doors to the elevator open.&nbsp; Sheena was gone from his mind.&nbsp; Athena would handle her if she woke.&nbsp; Daniel had something far more important, lives were on the line.&nbsp; <br><br>Daniel moved with sure steps, discarding the robe and the slippers as he did, and placed his palm on a door.&nbsp; The cabinet he touched opened, and as he did there was a slight dry fog from the difference in the temperature between the internal environmental systems of the storage cabinet.&nbsp; Daniel stared at the set of armor he created before him, so unlike the Iron Man armors Tony Stark created, and in the end help put an end to the War.&nbsp; Daniel was not trying to put an end to the war, but he was a growing symbol to the people.&nbsp; Ebony Shield was once more about to operate in the in a very public situation, a champion of the people, even if they did not know it.&nbsp; It did not take long for Daniel to put on the suit, less than the five minutes and he was in the elevator once more, to the personal hanger that he had attached to his residence.&nbsp; Less than a minute later he was taking a speed and heading as fast as he could without triggering New Haven's anti-air defenses, and once he was outside the defenses which he had helped designed and built, pushed his craft to the very limits of its speed, passing MACH 3 in less than a few seconds, making for the sinking destroyers as fast as he could.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Ebony Shield Armor</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fe/28/b2/fe28b2428bba1131a0d7dc7275f37762.jpg)</div></div></div>

Her hands had webbed as had her feet, her peacoat left behind with with her grandfather in the cabin of the Valkiir. Her skin also took on a golden yellow as it hardened into a carapace much like a scorpion. She welled fatty tissue between her and the chilled waters of the ocean, and pumped more mass into her muscles to increase strength and thrust. Aesthetics were secondary, to function. As she propelled her senses beyond those of humans, the scream of the incoming aircraft forced her to dampen them again, barely before the roar deafened her. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The groaning of steel, the harbinger of doom for the destroyer, drew her attention. There may be living people in the waters, but she couldn't sense them, she did know there were living people on those destroyers. The surface waters were still in turmoil so she dove deep, accelerating as she cut through the waters. The ship was ahead of her, and she raced through the waters to see the damages. Is there anything she could do? The buckle of the hull was barely twelve feet long, but it crossed compartments, both would be filling faster than the bilge pumps could work. Salvageable if they could swing an eight-by-ten sheet of well anything, the plast-crete, and a heat source. They had perhaps twenty minutes, depending on how the pumps run. Ok, workable. Damnit, the Valkiir was still too far away.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Twirling in the water, she sped away the other destroyer was listing already. As she approached she could tell why. Three, no four vents showed where the superstructure of the hull was releasing air into the waters from the starboard side. They didn't have time to fix it, this one would be on the ocean floor in minutes. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Racing back to the repairable craft, she turned her passage skyward, coursing through the waters she shot high from the surf, only her momentum to carry her to the deck twenty feet up from the turbulent waters. Landing lightly upon the weather deck, she raised her hands and dropped to her knees, before the nearest sailors could respond in aggression. "My name is Selkie, I am here to help. Your ship is in distress and I can help. That craft," she pointed to the listing ship, "has four vents beneath the water level on the starboard and will be down in minutes, encourage them to abandon ship, I can see no salvage if they are not complete already. Get me someone who can make decisions and give orders. You need steel sheeting, plastcrete and heat, now! Your ship I can help save, who is he?" She said noticing the massive golden form in armor. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The jumpship was impressive, but held little interest. They were here to help or not...<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

There was a grace to her descent, and she entered the waters with no noticeable turbulence against the steadying sea. The waters were black, but that was nothing for her. Allowing her hair to extend to the full twenty foot reach she began gathering the shields and dragging them into place. Hmmm, four meters, roughly twelve feet. Positioned to cover, may rescue this crew. The Valkiir was nearing them now, though there would be lots of radio chatter before help could be offered. Then she ran into her first problem. Dark waters and instructions. How did you secure these- Oh, whew, with a wandering hand she activated the mag-lock stylings that drew the rim of the shield to an almost perfect air-lock over the buckled steel. Bilge pumps have a chance, that and a welding crew and the craft may survive, though she wouldn't be sea worthy. At the least, they could salvage the tech and steel, and more of the crew would live. All good. This said she pushed off the side of the destroyer, the second vessel her target. Even with these it would be touch and go, that one had been struck by debris as well as the wave. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As she neared the ship she saw the hovering craft's lights. She focused on the two greatest vents. Just below the water line at the rear of the ship the aft deck vent had stopped venting air. That was a bad sign, it meant the water was this high in the ship, it also explained why the aft was so low in the water. She whipped forward through the water setting her third and final shield. Her focus on delaying the sinking ship, she still counted this ship as sea floor flotsam, but hoped that she could help keep it from becoming a casket as well.

The cuffs were barely on for seconds when he knew he was not remotely comfortable with this, and was not capable of allowing himself to be cuffed. He flexed his arms and snapped the metal apart like plastic, sending it falling to the decks. Rather than assaulting the humans he rapidly turned his attention to the surfacing attackers. Although he didn't know why they were attacking the innocent and defenseless humans on deck. He marched to the edge of the ship, golden wings unfurling from his armor as he strode past the men who'd just watched him shatter the cuffs like nothing. <br><br>Although he was here to protect he did best as a fighter, and so he took to the skies and flew very low to the waves. His spear outstretched he crashed into the nearest Atlantean, striking them clean in the center of the chest. The Atlantean was no match for the spear and was lifted from the waves into the air, soaring up before Helios dropped them to crash back into the water. Soon he adopted a technique of rapidly diving down, crashing into individual or groups of Atlanteans and sweeping them aside. He hoped at least the humans who had tried to cuff him would see that he had only the best intentions and wanted to protect the seriously at risk ship.

"Human lives matter," she said as she offered the sailor a hand. The appearance of the Stars and Bars was nice.

Yes, he could get word to the Valkiir that the waters were not safe yet. Just as she thought this, the shielded dame made to skewer an Atlantean.

"Atlantean lives matter also," was all she said as she stepped up to the vixen in Old Glory. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Her gaze fell past the beauty to the armored man behind her.

As Shield offered his plan for getting the crew to safety, she thought it was a good plan, till he said they, including her, would take care of the Atlantean threat. "I am no soldier, I can help protect the portal and Bombshell if we have a contingent of sailors willing to help buy time, but I really have no means of dealing with numbers." As she said it, her skin began taking on a golden sheen, hardening into a carapace, while her body compacted a bit the webbing and hydrodynamics reabsorbing into her frame, the muscle building onto the frame, her hair braiding into four thick bands and extending out to roughly twenty feet.&nbsp; She began by placing herself at Bombshell's back, and tearing the buckled plate from the deck to drive into the deck as a barricade and brace for her to hide behind. This was accomplished by raising the plate fifteen feet and pointing a corner of it at the deck, then with brute force drove the point through the superstructure of the sinking ship. Her barricade built, she settled in to a game of Atlantean kicking.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
