Aermes Act 8: Go And Find Them

Word traveled fast, almost as fast as the boy genius himself.

Social media, Youtube, Streamers, Mainstream Media, everyone was buzzing about the masked teenager who flew all through the night, rescuing people and putting out fires seemingly all over the place. Fans pieced together all of the camera footage from that night, and actually re-created his entire flight sequence, calculating that his efforts alone were single-handedly responsible for saving 28,431 lives directly, and another 25,000 in potential casualties. Murals went up all throughout Los Angeles, and the big question on everyone’s mind was: Who is this kid?

Back resting in his cliffside retreat, Aermes was pleased to see that the surveillance devices he placed around his family’s home reported a drastic decrease in the level of suspicious activity. It seems even those in the highest levels of the US Military-Industrial Complex found appreciation in what Aermes did that night.

Still…the question that would eat away at young Aermes was why King Emidas was frozen that morning in the throne room? Did the earthquake in LA have anything to do with what he saw in the City of Elrond? Should he fly back to Elrond to check up on Emidas? Suddenly, an email arrives with a video attachment:

EMIDAS: “Listen kid if you’re watching this, that means things have already begun. Remember what we talked about right? We need to assemble the A team. Look…uh…it has been a while since I last spoke with them…turns out waiting for an enemy that does not give you their arrival date is a tough pitch to sell to Earth’s mightiest warriors. Tell them this is not a drill and to activate Phoenix Protocols immediately. Make sure to find Ether, she can get me out. God Speed kid. No pressure, but Earth’s fate depends on it. Go and find them.”
