Sydney… such a normal name for a not normal person. It sounds weird calling him that instead of Protector.

He reaches around my waist and says, “Hold on.” With his free hand, he reaches back and hurls the spear into the sky. I’m not sure what—

Holy crap! Air rushes by in a roar. Epic doesn’t even have time to tell me how fast we’re moving. I blink and we’re in orbit.

Orbit!

Earth, from here is a big, beautiful blue and green gem spinning majestically below us.

I think the DMHA database is woefully misinformed about his powers. He does not teleport, but he certainly does not fly either.

I want to say something but my mouth just hangs open. Ever since our fight with the Six I’ve wanted to do this and here we are, in orbit. Sensors pick up the vacuum around us, a slight radioactive emanation from the Van Allen belt, and lots and lots of space. Lots. He keeps a firm grip on me otherwise I would be turning to see the moon and beyond.

We’re holding relatively still as the Earth rotates below us. I’ve seen the ISS camera as it traverses the Earth several times a day but seeing how fast the planet spins when were stationary is breathtaking. The East coast goes by, then the Atlantic Ocean, Spain, then Italy—

He hurls his spear down, it vanishes in a second, leaving only a red trail from friction as it passes through the atmosphere. The next second we’re right behind it. Air roaring by in a heartbeat and then we hit the ground. I stumble a few feet with my hands out, my inner ear insisting that we’re still moving.

“Holy crap!”

“I’m sorry, I forget how disorienting and frightening that—”

“Are you kidding me? That was frigging awesome!” I shout.

We are in Greece, Delphi to be exact.

“I’m glad you like it. After all these years of doing it, I still get a rush. Come, this way.” He marches forward to the old ruins. I’ve never really studied history, not the way I do physics and math. I’ve read a few, mostly American history. I have to admit, I’m partial to history around inventors like Ben Franklin and scientists like Newton.

However, this temple seems familiar, I think I’ve seen it in a movie or TV show. Crumbling rocks and broken down arches dot the area. What little grass there is has a nice green color. In the distance, I see a modern city with the haze of pollution obscuring the skyline. If it weren’t for that I could almost believe we were back in time.

GPS location confirmed. This is the Oracle at Delphi. An archaeological site where in ancient times the Greek people would come to consult Pythia, a high priestess of Apollo. A woman gifted with incredible powers of prophecy, or so myth tells us. The site was last used for this purpose in roughly the fourth century AD.

“Is this where you hang your helmet when you’re not saving armored damsels in distress?”

“Something like that.
