Just as Sage had turned around to get back inside the Daily Planet's lobby area, an explosion had rung in the background... Followed by even more explosions. The pyromancer could only sigh as he slooowly turned back around to catch the sight of the smoke in the distance. Of course, hoping that this would be just a pleasant visit had been too much; It was like he just either attracted trouble or ended up in the line of it! What was he? The Multiverse's problem fixer??

"Welp! Seems like the interesting shiny buildings will have to wait!", he held his frustration deep down, playing things off as if this was a daily occurrence... Not that it was too far from it to be honest, "I hear the hero call~!!"

With a nod at no one in particular, the young-man soon reassured himself, pulling off his armlet in a swift singe motion. The air around him picked up a couple degrees near immediately, the kind soft cappuccino brown eyes gaining a tint of determined fire red-orange. Without having much time to explain things, this is where the others would have been clued in Sage's Magical heritage, but before any question could be done, he had already gone for a sprint towards where the chaos was coming from.

"This looks dangerous, so you two stay here!", he advised, hoping they would stay put for once he came back! ...Though if they didn't, he wouldn't really blame them for it, as long as they were safe and so on... It would just get a little lonely-

A good distance from the pair, the Descendant brought his wings forth; A perfect mimicry of what a bird's would look, pointier primaries to rounded secondaries, they were huge! With a span that was nearly his full height, slight see-through constructs of flame that still danced contained in a shape. They extended themselves as much as possible and a mighty flap launched him in the air for take-off, the wings sticking to the back right after, allowing him to cut through the air akin to a bullet, towards the highest point of the parable.

It was such a freeing thing, flying... Sage always felt like all of his problems and worries couldn't reach him in the Sky, chained to the ground so, sooo far away~ The overview was, both quite pretty and filled with a sense of urgency, smoke and dust raising to the air in two different places. He couldn't be in both of them at once, so it had to be a choice, made in a split second with the pyromancer soon flying over to the park area.

...By the Gods what was he even looking at?! Some kind of fight between two enourmous and scary entities! This was like, like being caught in the crossfire of Deities 'resolving' a conflict! What in the Multiverse was even going on??!

Not- that he had much time to wonder about it either way as one of them was capable of unleashing lasers?? Things exploded, there was a trail of fire and destruction. That suddenly explained why he was in this world... Cody hadn't come with, so there was limited ways to put out the fires, but steer them and keep them from causing too much damage? Now that was a job he could handle!

Holding a hand to the front and dragging it back to himself, the flames travelled back towards the middle, allowed to burn only what was contained inside the area and away from fleeing civilians. It was only a matter of time before the Charge-Up kicked in, responding to the amount of strain the airborne young-man was putting himself into, but it would be worth it. He was holding this thing here until someone could put the fire out proper, that's what he had decided to do-

"Dude! Can you- urgh- Maybe forget that bench and then... maybe- Maaaybe come help me out for just a minute?!", Sage called for the other flyer in the area, who was... ranting about unimportant things... He also wasn't sure that a talk would be enough in this situation, unless they could physically keep those two giants from hitting each-other...?

"Please someone put out the fire, this really hurts!!!", he also couldn't do much more while doing this!

Sage hoped that this couldn't get any worse than holding still a bunch of fire, and the destruction of the park. You know, he really did hope that this fellow superhero could see eye-to-eye with him and the actual very dire and important things going on right now but- As it turns out... He had hoped too much, expected the best of other people as always. And, it rarely worked out, didn't it?

Hancock's inability to wage priorities, resulted in the Charge-Up having more than enough time to kickstart, Toayî's influence seeking to numb the straining pain he had been put under. The tips of his wings gain a saturated blue tint, the flames resembling the ones from stoves, yet also never expand past a threshold, as if they had been dipped in paint rather than being made of fire. Such a curious phenomenon also halved the shades of the ones he had been restraining, and though the other was nowhere close enough to see it, there were little streaks of blue like broken glass decorations inside his eyes too.

What this meant for Sage was the loss of feeling. Physical, emotional- He could no longer feel how strained his powers were, but neither could he feel things like sympathy anymore, reduced to logic and objectivity until anything set them off. Yep, them as Toayî's demeanor was also bleeding through him now. Being set off, however, wasn't going to be a hard task with a 'partner' like Hancock around...

Yes, yes he knows what firefighters are. In fact, he's been studying really hard to become one! But not even the sight of his idols could gather much from the numbed out pyromancer, who merely watched with... not exactly concern? Just knowing that it would not end well given the situation. Yep, there they go- At least it seemed like either they were gone in an instant, or safe enough from the foot of the giant oblivious Deities.

"If I asked you, it's because there was a reason for it.", that reason once having been urgency but, if regret could kill-

It wasn't as if he had made some elaborate complicated request either, it was just... water... for a fire. Unfortunately, the man was about to prove that even a simple ask could be made complicated when the other person did it half-heartedly. The welcoming sight of the truck loaded with water had soon turned into disappointment when there was more than just water in it. There was nothing that he could do, even if he tried to return these creatures back to their place, he won't make it in time, they would only burn to death or suffocate without water- It would be a pointless effort.

Once the fire had been put out and Sage was freed from his task, he took a little flap to go higher, throwing himself back down and swooping to land beside the pitiful sight. ...He should be sad, as he raised the Sign of the Soul and gave them a moment of silence in condolences; He should be sad, but 'sad' as an idea had stopped making any sense.

Anger though... Anger was quick, powerful. The flame aura came to life around him as the pyromancer turned back around to glare at the incompetent 'hero', if it is that the other is worthy of being called that.

"DO YOU EVER PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING??!", eyes glowing furiously, Sage's voice echoes out in a three-part choir (represented by underlines), courtesy of Toayî further fuelling the sheer indignation he felt, "We're trying to reduce casualties, not make them worse! You've endangered animals, let non-powered people step into a situation they can't control and for some Gods damned reason cares for a bench and inanimated object, that is easily put back together or replaced, more than people! What the heck is wrong with you?!"

The immediate area around him is unbearable, he's chugging off heat and flame like a furnace but he doesn't care- He just has this urge to go off on Hancock for being everything that a hero should not! Being so, so infuriatingly incompetent and lazy that he can barely even consider him a functioning adult, even less- URRRRGH!!

"Why don't you go do something actually useful and knock one of those giant ladies out, since you can only speak with violence?!", GODS, HE WAS SO DOOOONE!
