Earth and Sky (Seraphiel x Samsonian Moshe)
Somehow, Moshe had observed, trouble tended to follow him ever since the accident. Today it seemed that trend would not change.
While at an art museum, something shifted the foundations. Moshe was sure it hadn’t been him: while he’d put on a lot of weight with the advent of his powers, but not enough to dislodge a building. Perhaps an old foundation finally gave way after years of wear and tear, maybe recent construction accidentally cracked it, but whatever happened, the building shuddered with a worrying groan. For one horrible moment everyone held their breath, hoping the building would hold, but they had no such luck. The whole building began to shift and shake, rubble and steel raining down on the people inside.
Moshe did his best to swat away rubble from people, but it was clear he needed to keep the building from collapsing if the people inside were to have any hope of evacuating.
He dashed through the halls, doing his best to uncover or free pinned people from beneath rubble and fallen sculptures while finding the shifting center of the building. Using a fallen pillar and some scrap metal that may have been a modern art exhibit, he speared the tall roof of the building and heaved. His powerful muscled strained under his loose clothes, even with his amazing strength working hard to keep the building upright. For a few moments at least, the rubble stopped falling.
“RUN!” he screamed at those who continued to gawk and look on in horror. “GET OUT, RUN, THIS BRACE WON’T HOLD FOREVER!”
