The ground shook. Buildings shook. Walls shook. The statue shook. Things fell. Jack pulled Alicia against one of the walls to protect her. Johnny did the same to protect me.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Earthquake." Johnny said.
"In New York?" I said,
"This is bad." Jack said.
"Johnny! Where are you? We need you back at the lab." Sue said over his communicator.
"Problem with that, sis."
"What would that be?"
"I'm at the top of the statue of liberty."
"What!?! Johnny, you could be killed."
"Yeah, I know."
"Are you with anybody else?"
"I'm with the girls. I took them sight seeing with Jack."
"They could be killed."
"Yeah, I know that too." Johnny said.
"Where are you?"
"At the top."
"Ok! Work your way down the stairs."
"We're trapped."
"Look, you need to get out of there. That thing could come down at any minute."
"What do you suggest?"
"You'll come up with something. You always do. Just be careful. And remember that I love you." Sue said.
"Yeah, I love you too." He hung up.
"What are we going to do?" Alicia asked.
"It'll be ok. I've got an idea." He moved towards the beam. "Hey, Jack. Give me a hand."
"It won't budge. Use your powers." Johnny started his hand on fire. He melted the beam in half. He pushed it aside. "Ladies first." He threw us his trademark grin as we walked by. There was debris all over the stairs.
