For the sake of the children... (cont.)

The auction is heating up. Some of the items have fetched handsome prices from anonymous bidders via cellphone proxies or the organization's website. The next item due on the auction block is a limited-run Flamebird figure (Bette might recognize it - she got a box of them for her birthday earlier this year).

But this is San Francisco, and it's almost Christmas, and when the Titans are around, something is almost guaranteed to go wrong.

And it does; quickly, suddenly, and loudly, in the form of a huge Santa sleigh, replete with animatronic reindeer, crashing through an adjoining wall from the set of a movie being filmed just outside.

The main problem of people being squashed by a Santa sleigh is being taken care of, Speedy turns her attention to the falling debris, pulling one adult out of the way of a larger chunk and using a few quick shots to deflect other chucks.

Dust sedately clouds the air, sending some of the sicker kids into coughing fits. Caregivers are overwhelmed.

In with the good air, out with the bad air - Bart creates vortices with his arms, blowing the dust out of the breach in the wall and clearing things up a little.

"I wonder if this is what Gar's always talking about when he says 'fan service'.."

A twelve-year-old boy nearby claps a hand to his face. "Wow, I thought my dad was bad ... "

Shivering, the staff edge forward to cautiously check the rubble.

"God, I hope there's nobody under there -- "

" -- think we should call EMS?"

" -- cancel the auction? These kids are gonna freeze -- "

The rubble seems to start neatly stacking itself as Kid Flash checks for injured bystanders. Once satisfied as to everyone's safety, he dashes off to find some material with which to patch the hole in the wall.

A large utility room in the "employees only" section of the convention center holds a number of useful materials. No bricks, but large sheets of plywood, rolls of tarp, and even a short stack of drywall.
