The Second Wave Quotes

“Looks like our man's got something to hide," Delta yells without breaking his stride as he runs toward the now metal-encased office. Yeah, he's got something to hide, or he's just a terrified billionaire who just saw a group of armed militants running at him in an empty office building in the middle of the night.”

“It's old wooden floors creak under my feet despite my efforts to remain as silent as possible. I pass”

“Where's Malfour?" the fire Elemental asks, looking around the street. "Oh, don't worry. He'll be back in ..." There's only a hint of a scream before Malfour comes crashing out of the sky. He lands right inside the cones that I’d set up, and right on top of his would-be bank-robbing accomplice. A huge plume of concrete, dust, and debris flies twenty-feet into the air, hitting a nearby traffic light and sending it into a nearby building. Malfour's created a pretty large crater, and both of the metas are out cold. "...no time flat,” I finish. There’s no response from the hole, and certainly not a laugh. “Dammit! I thought I had that timed out perfectly! 'He'll be back in no time flat.' Get it? He's huge, and he landed on you. Now you’re squished flat ... like a pancake? Man, that would have been so perfect. Ugh. That's really going to bother me all night, guys. Thanks a lot," I say into the pit.”

“Add to that the fact that even the real excuses for being late or missing a shift sound completely unbelievable anywhere else. "I would have been here on time, but I had to fly a bomb into outer space before it detonated," or "There was an attempted military coup in South America that I had to stop.”
