Smokey and Ame were cruising down the street at an easy twenty-five miles an hour. They were following a GPS on Smokey’s phone and were coming up to their parking spot near the hiking trail. There were two other cars there, including Selenite’s Toyota and a Malibu, parked one spot apart from each other. Ame pulled the car in and parked it on the other side of Sel’s.
The two women got out of the car and stretched. The car ride hadn’t been long, but they had both been winding down for the night when they had gotten the call. Selenite’s call. She hadn’t told them exactly what was happening, only that they needed to come out to Victor Waterfowl. So the two had gotten into their Kia Cadenza and drove.
They hiked down the trail through the state preserve. They had both been here before, for some reason or another. It was a great place to come if you wanted somewhere quiet to practice with your powers in a space where no one was likely to see you. It was routine to take some of their more physically powered trainees out there to teach them control.
After all, you had to learn control before you could learn use.
And Obsidian liked it when they could use their powers. It was helpful. Smokey and Ame were well known for being excellent teachers to their trainees, and they’d gotten a lot of different metahumans over the years sent to their location in Bismark. Still, they had no idea what Sel could possibly want this late at night and this far away from the city.
As they got further down the path, they could feel it. The shift in the air was indicative of Sel’s powers. They were close, then.
