Caelan punched the dumpster with all his strength, screaming "Idiot!" The metal screamed in protest and the whole thing flew back. He whirled, kicking the smaller trash can behind him. It flew into the small lake and Caelan watched as it splashed, the calm waters rippiling and rising. He looked around for something to hit, but he was alone.

He glared,"You haven't talked to me in ages" Valkyrie shrugged apologetically, "Sorry about that. Ive been a mite busy." Gordon smiled,"Saving the world?" Valkyrie "How about a person?"
