"...he is... the Sheriff... he is a SHIELD agent... liason for the base... if he needs us to go... we should go... and don't worry... the Tick has an apartment... I made sure he did and asked an agent to meet him when he first arrived... since I am the combat instructor I knew he would need... training..." Shigure told Emerald.
"Sheriff... when her partner arrives... I will to escort her to meet the rest of us... people should not be separated from their loved ones in times of crisis..." She just
told Carter, as she got into the cruiser.
Meanwhile... in the underground base...
"Wahoo!" Moon Girl was rocketing around the base on a skateboard she'd souped up. It was mag-lev and she'd already turned down the speed a couple of times so she at least quit causing sonic booms.
On the fringes of town...
"Nani?!" The U-Haul truck cruised to a stop, even though it showed a quarter tank of gas, it was definitely out.
"Oh great. I'll have to text Nessa."
The Japanese-American girl whipped out her phone and sent a quick text to her partner.
"Nessa.Truck ran out of gas. I'm going to push it into town, in a big way. I hope I don't freak anyone out!"
Then, she got out of the truck, pulled her wand and a brilliant light came over her as she increased in size to about twice the height of the truck. "That should be big enough. between that and telekinesis, I can bring this baby into town without damaging it or our stuff."
Using a combination of her powers and good old foot power, she used the moving truck as one would use a scooter, holding onto the sleeper cab and kicking with one foot
, making sure she didn't put too much weight on it by partially suspending herself with her TK.
Oddly, when she skated into town, people didn't run or scream, nor did they paparazzi as they did in Tokyo. They just... stared for a little bit and shrugged, sometimes.
So, as the Sheriff came down the hill with Emerald, Shigure, and presumably the Tick also, they saw a giant woman using a U-Haul truck as a scooter, who waved when she saw Emerald in the cruiser.
