New Guardians... GUARD (Okay, we really need a better battle cry)
By locking on to Saishu again, Heather had been able to lead Andy and Lenny to Cindy, Harry, Jess, and Saishu. With the flying members carrying the non-fliers, they made their way back to the beach. Because, in the face of all logic, Ganthet was still there and who knew what the Controllers were doing to him.

As they came in from the air, it turned out to be fairly bad. Strung up by his arms and legs by Effigy flames, one of the Controllers--there were only two of them remaining now--blasted him with bolts of cosmic energy. His red cloak was singed, his blue skin blackened in places. And he was screaming.

"Uh... plan?" Heather asked.

	"I can help with out stuff if we need it," Jess offers. "I know how to train for just general physical fitness. I was going pretty hard when it came to that. The police academy can be pretty rough if you can't cut the physical stuff." She isn't smiling either. Today has been way too long. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ganthet held Cindy's gaze for a moment before nodding. "You are correct," he said. "My attempts to nurture the more spiritual aspects have fallen far short of what you truly need." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cindy nodded. "I'm sure it works great for lanterns. We're not. Go rest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Heather looked down at where her legs were slowly regrowing. Still too damn weird. Why was she the only one not even flesh and blood anymore? Today... today was one of her bad days. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cindy looks over at Heather.

"That's not happening next time," she says.

It's not soothing. Not words of comfort or assurance. It's a statement of fact, and that's all.

And then she does look at her girlfriend. "Saishu, we need to talk. You're our greatest asset, and I know you know how to draw fire like nobody's business -- but we don't know how to make use of that opportunity. So we have to communicate more. And yes, I'd really appreciate your help with the training." Beat. "Within reason."

	Ok, that... actually makes a lot of sense. "Can help, yes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Normally the way such a statement was made would make him nervous. The almost 'laying down the law' tone always had the potential to be problematic if someone disagreed. But this time it doesn't make him nervous. Because this is Cindy. The Woman with the Plans That Worked.

If she said something, it was going to happen. And in this case...he'd really really like it to.

This, Ganthet was beginning to realize, was one of the most formidable humans he had ever encountered. Perhaps one of the most formidable beings, period.

Cindy Lord would be quite the guardian for these young people.

He paused, briefly, to generate a small sphere out of green power and handed it to Cindy. "Use this to contact me if you should need me in the meantime. But with the Controllers now active again... and my own recuperation... I have much to do. I wish you all well until then."

And with that, he was gone.
