"Yes, Ma'am," said Desmo smiling despite feeling a little self consciously about his hair. "He's come a long way and we've been through much together. He needs a hero's welcome and some help getting settled first before I get out to Washington."

Rex shakes the hands of the captain and says, " good luck with your training and paperwork. See you when you get back. I have made progress and will be getting the money to purchase a warehouse in the dock district. Also near the warehouse will also be a enchanted boat that I obtained from a villain I stopped earlier in my adventures. It was my first case stopping an evil scientist. I will hopefully get a pier warehouse so i can dock this. Funny I forgot all about it until I found it in my closet yesterday."
(OOC: Truth be told Hour-man had did this mission in the future and brought it with him when he was transported here but this era does not need to know about time travel)

(To Rex) Desmo said, "Thanks for all the hard work on getting a warehouse. You're a good friend and a stand up hero. I won't be leaving tonight though. Before I go, I'd like a few days to get caught up with Gabe and get him settled in with Hobbes. After that, I'll fly to Washington and get the paperwork and basic training done."
(To Regan) "Sorry I can't fly you both personally this time - but I promise to fly you someplace in the near future. I still have a place here at the airport, you see..," explained Desmo.

Hour-Man and Captain Desmo (and Gabby) Thursday May 11, 1940 Appleton City, Queens LaGuardia Field
A plane leaves, another arrives. Such is the nature of airfields.
The plane leaving just carried away Agent Regan and Sally.
Not long after, a plane arrived. Amongst the passengers disembarking - Gabby Maguire!
Gabby was looking all over the airfield for a minute before Captain Desmo realized the problem. Gabby was surely looking for the distinctive aviator helmet.

"Hey, squire!" called out Desmo loudly waving. "Right over here with the sunglasses and zute suit. Great to see you pal! I'm getting some new work, so I've got a new look. But it's same old me. Wait till I get you you filled in with all that's been going on. And hey I got a nice place for you stay with me... Oh, I 'm sorry, this my good friend Rex, who's done a lot of work with me since I've been back. ... Oh, let me help you with your bag. How was your flight getting over here buddy? How have you been?"

"Well, I'll be - aren't you a sight for sore eyes and a surprise and a half, Cap!" Gabby exclaimed. "If I weren't such a perfect example of manhood, I might start crying and throw my arms around you for a hug!"
The two men shook hands and slapped shoulders in a much more manly fashion.
Gabby was introduced to Rex. "Nice to make your acquaintance, Rex," Gabby said, shaking his hand quite firmly. "I have two questions for you: is Cap here getting you in trouble? Or are you keeping him out of trouble?"

"It's been almost two years, but it feels like ten sometimes, right Cap?" Gabby asked. ((Later tomorrow I'll have Sandman show up!))

Hour-Man and Captain Desmo (and Sandman, Gabby) Thursday May 11, 1940 Appleton City, Queens LaGuardia Field
Catching up and sharing stories filled 11 minutes of time. At the end of this interlude, a private plane approached the field by air. Captain Desmo recognized it as a Dart - no, Culver's newer model, the Cadet! Someone with money was landing...
No one doubted this was the Sandman's arrival, least of all since they were expecting him around now. Expectations were, of course, that he would emerge as the Sandman, with mask on, but he was as full of surprises today as Captain Desmo. A handsome man with bushy, dark brown hair emerged from the plane, wearing a pilot's jacket. He came right up to Rex Tyler, Captain Desmo, and Gabby Maguire.
"Hello, boys," the man said. "Sorry I wasn't here for all the excitement, but I, er, had some sand in my eye," he said, touching the corner of his eye and winking, as if this had been a prearranged code. "I've heard some of what I missed, but I'm looking forward to hearing more."
Gabby had already begun to hear about the assassins and the near-death of Hobbs, and the story was retold from the beginning.
"I can definitely stay in town for at least a few days," the Sandman said. "Did you want to try and track down those remaining assassins, or do you think they're long gone by now?"

Rex says, " we don't know the full story yet. We have not returned to the crypt, nor do we know if the leader escaped or perished. I am getting the final details of the new team warehouse ( lab) so i will have some free time to help you Sandman."

"Nice plane Mr. Sandman," said Desmo by way of introduction. "That's Culver's latest model - the Cadet! I love to fly it for you sometime..."
((After that they explained what was going on...))
"I have a few days before I need to head to Washington to give you a hand as well," said Desmo. "We can also get you acquainted with Hobbs who is excellent in the line of duty."
"Yes, sorry Gabby," said Hobbs (to Gabby). "It'll only be a few days or so to get the military intelligence paperwork done. But, like I said, you're going to really like Hobbs..."

"Let me see if I have our priorities," The Sandman ((and your Editor)) said. "Get Gabby settled in, secure the warehouse, and then return to this crypt?"

Rex agrees with the list Sandman gave ( and to notify the editor)

"That's about it Mr. Sandman," said Desmo (and then to Gabby). "You ready for some more adventures with me, pal?"
