“From Stars to Sky to Earth.” -@fromstarstosky
The night sky above Oklahoma was bright and clear and full of stars.
One star suddenly burned brighter, more golden than all the rest, and then rapidly grew... closer?
...until a column of flame descended from on high and slammed into a bare patch of plain like the proverbial fall of Lucifer, like the fistfall of a god, kicking up dust and a roar of explosive force as it punched near down to the bedrock.
And as that dust settled... coughing could be heard.
In the smoldering crater, CANNONBOLT unfurled, the Arburian Pelorota like an invulnerable pillbug... revealing that he had rolled up around two much more vulnerable but no less intrepid figures.
“I thought that thing smelled bad on the outside,” Spider-Man coughed, rolling up his mask a bit to wheeze in dusty air... setting off a fresh round of coughing. (( @richparkerwashere ))
“To say nothing of the turbulence,” Spider-Woman replied, shaking her head as though to clear it. “Worst. Atmospheric re-entry. Ever.” (( @petaparkerishere ))
“Uh, yeah, sorry guys,” Cannonbolt rumbled, and in a split-second storm of green light became Ben Tennyson again as his Omnitrix timed out, both Spiders jumping clear. “You’re not the first to complain about the smell, but honestly, re-entry could’ve been worse. At least it wasn’t Gravattack or Bloxx.”
“Good to know,” Spider-Man chuckled wearily, dusting himself off and glancing up at the rim of the crater. “So where the heck are we?”
Spider-Woman held up her phone. “Signal’s not great, but GPS says Oklahoma? ...okay. About the furthest we’ve ever been from home as a result of a mishap. You remember when that weird house on Bleecker Street teleport-dumped us in like Kansas or something?”
“We met Dani Colton,” Rich grinned. “Good times.” (( @wintersdeadlyrose ))
