Desmo quickly put on his aviator googles, and throws on his aviator jacket. There was no time to put on his boots. He grabs the wings (and in "disguise") flies out to follow the wolf.

((I'm going to pause and wait to see if Rex changes his intentions after my reveal in the OOC folder.))

Rex says, " wait Desmo we need to talk about this, well that was an exit. " Rex grabs his costume, quickly puts it on and then runs outside. he listens for the wings, the wolf or gertrude screaming.

"What?!" said Desmo. "There's no time to talk we got to go..." ((Desmo's plan is the same as the last post - disguising a little and flying out on wings --- oblivious to the affects that the wolf bite could have!))

Hour-Man and Captain Hawkman Thursday May 18, 1940, 12:23 pm Appleton Justice Society Headquarters
Hour-Man and Captain Hawkman, dressed now for battle, launched themselves out of the building. While Captain Hawkman could fly out the East-facing window after the departed wolf, Hour-Man ran out the front door to the North and circled around.
It did not take Hour-Man long; Captain Hawkman was circling over the head of the wolf as it sat patiently in the parking lot, just 50' from the building.

Hourman signals Captain to the parking lot and Hour-man walks over to the wolf. Hourman advances slowly and non threatening towards the creature.
Hour-man says, " so lets try this again since last night was non communication. You did not attack me but followed me. You attacked this lady named Gertrude was she a threat or you hunting her and if so why?"

Desmo landed behind Hourman and let Hour-man take the lead on trying to calm the wolf, only planning to intervene if the wolf attacks Hourman.

Hour-Man and Captain Hawkman Thursday May 18, 1940, 12:24 pm Appleton Justice Society Headquarters
The wolf surprised both of them because this time - it spoke.
"I am speaking to you through my pet," the wolf said with a deep, growly voice. "Do not trust the female. We cannot speak more now, but we will need to speak more soon. Do what you can to avoid her, at all costs."
Before the wolf could be convinced to elaborate, it burst into a cloud of sparkling lights and disappeared!

Hour-man stops for a second in disbelief and says, " great another dime store magician. We have run now into the spectre, Zatarra and now another magician. Well it is 5 oclock somewhere and I could use a drink. Desmo I doubt the bite is infected. Lets go back to the warehouse and chat. I do need to share you some of my additional knowledge and I need you to learn of a secret."

"Well, things just gets weirder by the minute," said Desmo. "Yeah, I could use a drink myself. If you have some angle on the science end of things, I sure would like to hear it. But, Hour-man, secrets are important in our line of work. As your partner, your secret whatever it is will be safe with me. Now, this cut? No, don't worry about me! I've been bitten by plenty of dogs in my time."

((It looks like you two don't need anything from me here. End scene, swipe to interior of JSA HQ, for the confidential discussion...))

NEW JSA HQ:
Rex heads back inside and moves the table back to where it is. After shutting the door. He realizes another day of shopping at Sears to replace the chair that was damaged. He then goes back to one of his boxes and pulls out a bottle of Scotch, a shard of titanium alloy and two glasses. He then pours the scotch in both glasses and offers one to Desmo.
Rex then " so the wolf approached me yesterday after the radio show. At first I though it was lost and it started to act intelligently. I thought it was trained now and tried to approach it in case it was lost. I saw no collar and it kept it distance from me and did not attack me. I eventually got into my car and went home. Later when I was having dinner I saw it outside watching my house. In the morning it was gone."
Rex continues, " when it attacked today and it was the same wolf I got worried. The lady seemed to recognize it. In the hollywood movies " werewolf in London" as well as in the future werewolves or lycanthropy does exist. So I hoped it was not a werewolf or shape changer. However with its sudden disappearance and in fact someone is controlling it I am not sure if it is. Keep an eye on the bite so it is not infected. In fact the first aid kit, you might want to clean that and maybe get a shot for rabies just in cas."

Rex takes a moment for this to sink in and then holds up the shard and then also produces a knife. Rex says, " Desmo my created name is Rex Tyler but I was created in the 853rd century. This piece of metal is the last of the time device that was used to send me in the past. The real Rex was killed during my arrival as an explosion destroyed my machine and killed him in the process. With some quick thinking I made it to look like an accident and after being yelled out by Rex's employer the incident went away. I know what you are thinking this is a Flash Gordon movie or fiction from HG wells, but let me show you this."
rex stands up and makes a cut in his arm. He moves some of the blood away to show circuitry hidden between the blood valves ( vessels). Rex then patches himself with the first aid kit. Rex continues" you are the only person that knows of this. Zatarra may have suspected this as his healing magic did not have a normal effect as my programming has some resistance to it. I heal naturally and I also enjoy food so I am not a robot. However as a being from the future I cannot compromise the time continuum. I cannot reveal future events of the ones I know. I also cannot let any government agencies capture or contain me. So please do not tell Agent West, or your new superiors. I doubt I will find the necessary materials to go back to my future. Now that the original Rex Tyler is out of the time line, his super hero tales must still occur which is why I took his identity. Thank you for being a good friend and I do trust you will keep my secret."

A heavy air of silence filled the room as Desmo took a good long look down into glass of scotch.
"Pass me that bottle, Rex," said Desmo pouring a little on a cloth and dabbing the wolf bite, then pouring himself another healthy glass of scotch. "I'll get a shot later for this."
Desmo got up as if he were about to walk out, and instead paced about a little and sat down and lit his pipe to have with the scotch (still in his aviator costume sans wings).
"I always knew there was something remarkable about your powers. I don't like to pry about these things, as it is hard enough to just get trusted heroes together like us. I wouldn't dare tell anyone about you," said Desmo. "But listen, we have some unanswered questions. Why was this werewolf or sorcerer following you around? And who is this Gertrude? She seems to know about you - hopefully just from your radio work... She also seems to know how to fight... Guess we gotta be careful about her..."
"But this leaves other questions," said Desmo philosophically as pipe smoke sailed over his head. "Do you know all of the future events or are you just doing your best? I assume the real Rex met me - worked with me - but this conversation would've been different. Look, you may know a few things from time to time - things that you read or were somehow imprinted in your mind, and you get some of the main things that the dead Rex did right - but I think you are mostly your own free man. I mean you don't even know why this werewolf is following you or who Gertrude is. You don't seem to have all of Rex's memories, do you? That make me ask - what difference does the timeline make if there is no return? Whatever you are, you think, and feel like a living human, and all humans should be free to act how they feel is best - that is - with a good moral compass. You could even fall in love. Love often changes a man's fate - and it could question - at some point - whether you want to be a hero from the future, or instead be your own man - the superhero of today..."

((Powerful stuff! I'm going to stay out of this at least until late tomorrow, to see where this conversation goes. Hint: You might also want to discuss if you want to get other Heroes involved in this or not...))
