Stealth assessing a situation

“No,” said Stealth.
“They just—”
“No one has been injured. That was not an attempted attack. They were caught off guard by the sight of you.”
“It’s not like they didn’t know we were out here.”
“It is one thing to know a flying man exists,” said Stealth. “It is quite a different thing to see him in person.”
“Put me in, coach,” said Barry’s voice. “I can do more good up there.”
“No.”
“But I can—”
“If the power were to go out just as a squadron of military helicopters arrived, it would cause chaos throughout the Mount. Maintain your position.”
