[Godstorm] Riding Out the Storm

[ngm_foes]

The Godstorm came at New York City, gathering other storms nearby to it. It wanted power Thor's little hammer couldn't easily undo. The Godstorm had underestimated the god once. If he showed up again, he would be ready. His reach was expansive. All along the Atlantic Coast, they felt his raging wrath. Even glancing touches from his circulating clouds brought damage.

There was warning he was coming, but Godstorm cared not one whit. He want right toward the harbor, using its funneling effect and the high tides from the moon to shove torrents of water into the megalopolis. He pushed on shore, making his way inland.

He was looking for something. Not that the small people trying to survive the hurricane coming ashore knew that. Their survival was not even a concern. He just pushed on land and spread his reach. He pushed his storm inland and the requisite flooding came with it. The winds howled and shards of glass broke off skyscrapers and added sharp damage to the mayhem.

Jay paused. "Which way is north?"

With the rain blowing and debris swirling around, the young Hulk wasn't sure which direction was which.

"Right at the next light, bro," Bruce said. "Just follow me."

He zipped forward, into the storm.

Jay sauntered after Bruce. He could conceivably run, but with his mass, he'd flatten anyone dumb enough to be out in the hurricane. He tried not to squish the squishy people.

"So, mon capitan, how are these people trapped and where do we take them?""

He wasn't smashing things. So he had time to butcher languages and get directives.

"Upper floors of their apartment building. Power's out, so no elevator, and the lower levels are already flooded," Bruce explained. "There's a shelter a few blocks over... we can probably take them there in a force bubble."

The water got deeper as Jay followed his cosmically twinkly friend.

"Did you forget I'm not the one with wall-climbing powers? I can see the headlines now: Giant, Green Booger Jumps From Flooded Street to Scare Storm-Trapped Innocents. They're gonna need a double page spread just to fit that."

"We'll manage," Bruce said. "Everyone's stretched thin, and we're closest."

"Good thing I practiced doggy paddling this week." Jay waded into the rising water and soon had to swim against the tide coming in to wash the city away.

Being eight foot tall wasn't helping him much here.
