Ever since he returned back to Earth from his mission in space, he had grown bitter, angry. The ashes of his former Freedom Force comrades bitterly reminded him that once again, he had outlived something he had cared for. Unable to return to the Chryssalid haunted, radioactive wasteland, he had wandered the world; meting out acts of justice and burying himself into his company and scientific endeavors.
But finally, one of his comrades in ghostly guardianship, his sidekick; Lenore convinced him that he couldn't wallow in the ashes of his world war two buddies and cover himself in self pity any more. Though most of the remainder of Freedom Force was absorbed into the Canadian Nova Phalanx team, he wasn't quite willing to trust Aleksei all the way. Rather, he searched far and wide for something to join, a new team of living heroes (she insisted that his fellow undead in the Crypt Sentinels weren't enough), for him to fight alongside with. When he found the C.O.P on the internet, he poured more research into them, studying them intently.
Finally he had made his choice. "Lenore, I found a team for the two of us." He said, stern, gravely voice never quite rising past the point of "gravely."
"Oh? Goodie goodie gumdrops! Please tell me it wasn't some mummy group. You need friends with a heartbeat. Earth friends, not spacemates." She said, poking her head over her laptop screen as she clacked away one of her...stories for the fanfiction viewing public to read. Once he sent a message informing the team of his request for himself and his charge to join them, he stood up and out of his seat.
"Pack some things, we're taking the Grave Runner." He said as she beamed and closed her computer, happily packing some things while he pressed a button in his cave lair near Austin, Texas. Immediately one of his sleek, black, heavily armed and armoured vehicles raised itself on a circular platform to be level with him.
Once she had packed everything she saw as needed into the vehicle, he buckled into his car, waited for his companion to do the same, then drove off into the highways of the United states. Winging by the no-travel zone near Patriot city in his route to the Champions Headquarters he took one more look at the city as Alien warmachines continued to excavate the ruins before shaking his head and turning away from the choking smoke and strange colours emnating from what was once a proud Texan city. The Aliens had dug in too well to be repulsed and the U.S was refusing aid from the outside world, leaving the radioactive husk of a city to stand in mute testimony to what had once been.
Arriving there within an hour, traveling incorporeally so as to avoid destructive sonic booms, the Dead Runner came to a stop before the headquarters of the Champions, inertial dampeners in the car bringing it to a halt as it rematerialized with a prominent hum. Stepping out of the car as it automatically parked itself, the pair confidently walked into the building. @the_ghostly_girl snuggled her jacket close to herself as she sped up to keep up with the taller Nathan. HIs cloak wrapped around him, the spectral crusader's pace never slackened as he went to greet the rest of this team.
