As the world comes tumbling down - Quake plot OTA

The trembling ground in camp was no real surprise to John as he stood at the sink of the bathroom, face covered in shaving foam as he dragged the blade carefully across his cheek. It was generally accepted that the Mexican was a pain in the ass and could usually be found to be the source of these rumbles, often as a result of some practical joke or

This rumbling was starting to piss Teddy off, and that itself was feat-but man was it a wake up call to see the ceiling come down on you and narrowly miss being turned into a man sized pancake. Concrete, dirt and rocks were his forte, not giant ass pieces of plaster and metal.
Once he'd managed to race his ass out of the living room where he'd been taking a nap and saving some random ass kid in BDU'S who'd been screaming about 'Demon Mutants trying to kill me' and putting his but outside he'd made fast for the other buildings.
Now he was stuck between two of the medical buildings trying not to choke on dust as he uses his damn powers to hold up something that is twice his size, and damn it it's kind of annoying.

John could see a figure struggling in the smoke but hell, he couldn't tell who it was. Didn't matter though because John knew in the chaos it was better to save all and ask questions later. Teleporting to where Teddy was stood he placed a hand on his shoulder and didn't wait for introductions or casual banter as he teleported them both out of the way of the buildings.

"Hey you alright there buddy?"

It takes him more then a few seconds to realize that he no longer forcing himself to hold up about 3 tons of concrete and using everything from his bare hands to constant walls made of dirt to do so with his powers, and once he catches his breath..and gets over the fact that he just teleported he gives John a thumbs up.

John laughs at the thmbs up, patting Teddy on the shoulder as they watch one of the buildings tumble. There was thankfully no-one in there, it's just the store room but it's not the best built desing either. The tremors come to a gradual stop and John untenses.

"I think we're over the worst of it... I hope."

"Yeah, until Rictor or whoever is doing this flips a gasket and sets Japan into a collapse, hopefully somebody knocks him out before that one happens."

"You're tellin' me. He's hopin' things get better an' not a hell of a lot worse." John watched as the dust began to settle, people swarming about covered in a thin layer of powered building an debris. "Guess we better go find out what the damage is like."

"Better then sittin around waiting for us to die or somethin."
