{{Poses
|Poses=:'''{{#var:565|Roberto da Costa (565)}} has posed:'''<br>Roberto da Costa is hovering in the air in his powered form about 500' in the air. He's facing southward more less directly towards Brasil. He hangs there looking bewildered and upset. His mind is moving fast as it can but it can't catch up. He blinks and rubs his head. He fled the kitchen and then down the hall. Turning on his powers on the front steps, at least that's where the subtle scent of ozone hits you. It seems like he was trying to leave before anyone could stop him. But, well, your faster and he had no idea where he going... directly at least.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie took just a moment to make sure someone else watched the fryer, and then he was off to catch his friend. Luckily Sam has gotten better over the years with his blasting, and as he blasts up besides Roberto he is able to hover and dull the roar of his blast field so they can talk just short of shouting at one another. "Whats going on Berto?" HE asks concerned for his friend<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:565|Roberto da Costa (565)}} has posed:'''<br>Roberto da Costa closes his eyes, and shaking his head, "It's Dad, he's been hurt. We were building an energy station, very green stuff. It was great, he really seemed to trust me... He was getting reports from the construction manager. Heard about a test, went to inspect it." Berto shakes his head, "There was an accident, Sam. I don- It's bad Sam."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie nods, and says "Ok, where is it, and we will head there." He tells his friend, already going through his head on ways to get there and what to do. "We need to get to your rom and grab your go bag, and then we will head and do what we can to help him. " He tells him, going to leader/helper mode.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:565|Roberto da Costa (565)}} has posed:'''<br>Roberto da Costa closes his fists, "It was routine stuff! It didn't need to be inspected. He. Shouldn't.Have. Been. There." He's shaking his head, willing it not to true but knowing it is. "Right, go bag. Yeah. I can get a flight out of the Westchester air strip. Thanks, no, no, the damage wasn't that bad. Sighs at himself exasparatedly, "It was centralized. They've got the fire out and Dad has been transferred to the best burn unit in the country... He got burned, the son of a thermokinetic." Berto's crying now.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie will move closer in mid air and puts a hand on Berto, which also puts his field around the man, and says "We will be there asap, if we can get one of the teleporters, before the plane is ready we can take them, if not we will take the plane. He made the choice to check it out when we get there we can check it out and see what caused the accident. I am here for ya brother."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:565|Roberto da Costa (565)}} has posed:'''<br>Roberto da Costa sighs and hugs Sam tight. "Thanks, he did, That bastard, I really thought he trusted me, should have known better. He's been hiding something, this just so... him!" Berto considers, shakes his head, "If you get a hold of Yana or Lila, let me know bit for now. You stay here, enjoy the holiday with the fam. I'll go down and get things started. Come down, bring the team. Clear eyes and heads will be important later on to figure this out to make..." His voice catches. "Arrangements if needed... I gotta call Mom. Tell her what happened, tell her I won't be at dinner." He takes a steadying breath, " Thank you, having you here, having you at my back means more than anything."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie nods to the man and says "I can come down with you Berto, we can set up for others to join us down there, you don't have to go alone." He tells his friend. Sam knows what it is like to loose a parent and does not want his friend to have to go alone unless he wants to.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:565|Roberto da Costa (565)}} has posed:'''<br>Roberto da Costa looks at Sam and nods slowly. He knows Sam lost his Dad to Black lung from working in the mines and is trying to spare his friend the pain. But he also knows they're stronger together. He gives a sad smile, "Obrigado. Sam. Yeah, it's better not to go alone. You probably want to grab your go bag as well."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:322|Sam Guthrie (322)}} has posed:'''<br>Sam Guthrie nods and will lead his friend back towards one of the second story landings where they will be closer to their rooms. He looks to the other and says "You got your friends, we will be there every step of the way. He is pulling his phone out to send a text or two.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:565|Roberto da Costa (565)}} has posed:'''<br>Roberto da Costa sighs releasing a breath he didn't know he was holding. "Yeah, never alone." He nods, "Let's go find out what happened."<br> <br>
