Back to the beginning

[jla_extras]

A flash of light from Arion's hands, and the time-lost JSA and their allies -- Dr. Fate, Dr. Occult, The Flash, Jakeem Thunder and Gemma Marsters -- vanish from the lush and verdant fields of long-gone Atlantis, and find themselves instead in an arid desert, underneath a blistering sun.

He gets word of the travellers from afar, calling upon what mystical resources he has at hand to learn more. Noting the presence of the man in red among them, he quickly begins preparations.

"Call my best guards to escort me into the desert, and have a feast for allies prepared. If Garrick is among them, then this visit must be very important."

Jay has been here before. He knows where they've been sent... and when. Nabu, mage for Prince Khufu, is here.

They must make it to their allies in this time as soon as possible.

Jakeem coughs a bit. "@*#*$# sand." he mutters REALLY quietly, so Jay can't hear him. "Where are we, Johnny?"

"Ancient Egypt, boss, during the reign of Khufu. You know him better as Hawkman one of Hawkman's ancestral types."

"Sweet." Jakeem says before turning to Jay. "We wanna ride the Thunderbolt Express to where this Khucoo is?"

"Good thinking, Jakeem," says Occult, who seems he should be suffering under the desert sun in that trenchcoat, but instead seems mostly fine as he pulls the brim of his fedora to keep the sun out of his face. "The sooner we're out of the elements, the better."

A flare of light emerges from Fate's hand, that seems to encase them all. Suddenly, despite the sun, the temperature around them seems to drop.

"If the Thunderbolt can find our ally," says Fate, "I can protect us from the desert sun."

Fate's brooding and distracted, looking out into the desert, as if searching for something.

Khufu allows everyone to explain their situation, taking it all in, then he speaks a few words in his native tongue to the servants, before turning back to the group.

"I've had Nabu sent for, he will be joining us at the feast. Please, come join me at my table. I hope all will find something to their liking."

[jay_garrick]

"Thank you, my friend." Jay allows them to be escorted to the table.

As they're escorted, Occult surreptitiously examines his colleauges. Fate, particularly, seems edgy ... and and hwo could he not. Not only is it his fate (no pun intended) being determined here, he was going to come into contact with the mortal form of thesource of his power. That has to be a little odd. Still ... there seems to be more. And then there's Gemma ... Arion's warnings still sting in Occult's ears.

"Hopefully, Nabu will arrive soon."

Indeed says Fate. The sooner this settled, the easier I will rest.
