I'm posting these in celebration of the completion of the writing of part one of my Excalibur Saga, Tamer's Ride. As usual, I own no character that is not original.
"Adam, Kara, there has been an emergency on the watch tower, report immediately." J'onn's voice issued from the wall panel. Kara groaned slightly, and started to rise, but felt Adam's hand on her shoulder.
"Has been?" Adam asked.
"Some one broke in, and stole the Annihilator." J'onn snorted. "I want you to report to the tower."
"Why, are the villians still there, and you need us to protect you?" Kara asked, realizing why Adam was fighting it.
"No, they breached our security, and I want to know how." J'onn replied, fighting to restrain his temper.
"So everyone else is on full alert, right?" Kara asked.
"Yes, even Fate and Etrigan were roused from their homes." J'onn replied, and realized instantly he'd made a mistake.
"Then you're well set, and you don't have any need for us." Adam replied casually. "Besides the fact that it's four in the morning here. We'll be up there at about eight-thirty. Good night." Adam snapped his fingers, and the screen went off.
On the watch tower, J'onn ground his teeth, and started to call other heroes. All of them responded, and arrived shortly. After taking a calming breath, he tried Kara's house again.
"Kara, Adam, report to the watch..." The screen cut off, as Adam snapped his fingers again.
A dozen human techs backed away, swallowing hard as J'onn slammed his fist into the console, leaving a foot deep dent. He was swearing in martian as he walked away, a moment later, Lantern arrived, to ask what had happened to J'onn. The techs explained.
"Ah. Do we still have communications?" He asked. One of the techs nodded.
"Of course, he only hit the broad band connection. I think Flash and Longshadow are the only two that actually use it." The man shrugged. "You want me to get Mrs. Marcae?" Lantern nodded.
"Kara?" That was all he managed, as a large, irritated Argoan fist exploded through the screen. Adam applauded slightly.
"Excellent honey. Would you like to patch the hole in the morning, or shall I?" He asked, as she slid back under the covers.
"Maybe you should, I think I'm going to need to make a few apologies." Kara replied. "That wasn't very nice to do to J'onn you know." She pointed out.
"Neither was calling at four in the morning dear." He answered. Kara shrugged.
"We were already awake." She pointed out.
"So?" He answered with an impish grin.
