Erik averted his gaze from the pair in front of him, unsure of how to react. While facing the fountain, Erik noticed something falling from the sky. Whatever it was impacted onto the ground and shattered, seemingly foreshadowing what was to come. The psychic's eyes widened in horror at the monstrocity only a few metres away. He backed away quickly, terror gripping his mind. He heard IRIS' warning but could barely understand the machine.
"Come on Erik, get a hold of yourself." The psychic whispered to himself.
He had only been this scared a few times in his life, and each of those situations were life threatening. While he knew that he could just revive if he was killed, Erik's subconscious didn't seem to care. Adrenalin surged through the psychic's body as he came to his senses. As Demetri took a step towards the abomination, Erik opened his mouth to protest but was interrupted by IRIS. Erik was uncomfortable with leaving Demetri behind, but was reassured by IRIS.
"As you wish." The psychic said and turned towards the woman. "Let's go." Erik could sense the woman's discomfort. "Don't worry." Erik said, attempting to be reassuring. "Demetri is smart. Too smart to be caught by something like that, let alone provoke it."
The two turned and ran, with Demetri following not long after. But as the creature roared its threats, Erik stopped dead in his tracks. He knew that voice. The psychic turned, violet energy unconsciously blossoming from his eyes. The voice was unforgettable to Erik, it belonged to the man who spearheaded the assault on New Babylon.
"Sinestro..." Erik spat. The psychic knew better than to charge head on at something like that and extinguished the purple sparks that coursed over his body, cursing himself for not being strong enough to take revenge.
"One day," He reasoned,"One day I will be strong enough."
