To those who've been reading Tales of Sol. I want you to know that while there is sex in this story. That is not is sole purpose and yes I don't home the sex sense makes you all hard and gets you off.
Sol is an adaption from my childhood favorite show Captain Planet and the Planeteers, The cartoon showed us that the world can be a better place if we took a few moments to care for it.
Tales of Sol is meant to express hope.
It is also shows how music can have an impact in our lives. While I don't know if my favorite bands 98 Degrees, Backstreet Boys or Nsync have ever read this. They saw me through some of the hardest moments of my life and offered in their own way hope. To them I say thank you.
I dedicate the Tales of Sol to all of my brothers and sisters of the US armed service past, present, and future.
I like to thank my friends who I had the privilege showing these chapters with. They helped with editing and inspiration,
John Rivera, Albert-Russ Alan Rivera-Odum, Derbe.D. Hunte Yvette Ortiz Samuel Diaz Jr for all their help in Making The Tales of Sol an enjoyable story to write.

Tales of Sol 21 Frayed Edges
Pulling out of Jeff's sweet embrace was a challenge. I wanted to stay in his arms but we both needed to get up. As I moved Jeff the only response was to pull me back down and even tighter "Don't you get up we have to stay just like this," Jeff nuzzled my neck and kissed my cheek. "We have to get up, love you need to be in the studio and I need to get to the base," I tried to get up only to feel Jeff's chest and dick at the same time.
I was about to pull away when Jeff's hard-on pushed its way up my rear and Jeff began to make rhythmic pushes into me "I love you Mike Pennock," Jeff whispered into my ear we grunted and panted as Jeff made love to my rear.
"I love you too Jeffery Timmons," I grunted out in feeling my sweetie sweet movements
Jeff turned us so I was laying face down on the bed and he was on top thrusting into me after he made me feel every inch of his member and I wasn't complaining.
Sweat was pouring down off of Jeff as he grunted and panted with each thrust. In a gurgled roar Jeff sent his speed up my rear turning me over before I could even catch my breath Jeff took me into his month and drained me a few moments later.
Jeff came up and pulled me into an embrace again kissing me tenderly raising my legs as he pushed himself back into me.
"I can't get enough of you Mike Pennock," Jeff whispered in between kisses. "I love every inch of you," Jeff growled in lust.
"I love you too Jeff Timmons," I panted between thrust as he pushed more of his penis into me. In a final thrust Jeff unleashed his love juice inside me one more time. A few minutes later Jeff's cell phone rang, and he was forced to get out of bed so he answered, "Jeff, Luc needs to go down to the studio in two hours," I could hear Nick.
"Okay Nick I will be there as soon as possible," Jeff acknowledged then he hung up
"Luc isn't he the guy who temporarily took over for Steve?" I asked
"Yes and after the last concert management felt Luc was more than capable of handling us, so they gave Luc, Steve's job," Jeff informed me.
"Okay how about we grab a shower," I suggested
"Are you coming?" Jeff asked
"Sadly I can't I am need to go to Willow Grove," I answered
We got in the shower and had one more love making session.
We finally got ourselves washed and dressed but all of our activities had left us no time for breakfast so after making sure Jeff got into the Security SUV and then securing my home I left for Willow Grove.
Once I arrived at the main gate showing the MP my military ID she let me pass and with a short drive was at the hangar from there I went to the closest head and changed into a pair of coveralls.
When I left the men's room I went to the shop to do the tool inventory once that was through with that including signing the tool log I then got onto the computer. This brought up the day's workload, I found out that the new HUD and transmitter were waiting for pickup. The sound of the shop door opening made me turn my head. PO3 Hill walked in his civvies.
"Hey Mike what's happening?" He greeted
"Hey James what you been doing," I greeted back after he changed into his coveralls. He came up next to me and we both looked at the workload to see what we had.
Soon our LPO Jack Doggin came in his civvies "Hey guys long time no see," He greeted
"Hey there AT1" I greeted
"What do we have to do today?" He asked
"Nothing much just to install the parts we received, then wait and see how they fly," I informed.
"Okay I am going to the Maintenance Meeting," He said
"Okay AT1," Hill said
AT1 left for the meeting while Hill and I sat catching up on what was going on in our daily lives. When AT1 returned from the Maintenance Meeting Hill, and I got to work, the first thing we did was pick up the crates that housed our parts. We checked them out to make sure they were the right parts for the jet we were working on. Piling them onto a cart we took them out to the Hornet and began to install them with Hill once again in the cockpit installing the HUD and me installing the transmitter into the RADAR package. Once the parts were installed we ran them up; checking all key systems with the standard system check. When we were satisfied with the checks I left to get AT1so he could verify our work when he gave us the thumbs up. Hill climbed out of the cockpit and left to start the paperwork while I finished closing up the plane. Once we signed off all maintenance; we sat in wait while all of the other shops finished up their work. It took about an hour or two later before the Hornet was ready for its test flight.
The Plane Captains hooked both the Tomcat and Hornet to tractors and pulled them out to the flight line Another Fifteen minutes went by as the two planes were fueled up. When the pilots started their walk I started to get antsy as I watched this part always made me shiver after the pilots sat in their appointed aircraft it seemed as if nothing was going to happen until I saw the PC's started dance routine and my ears were assaulted by the sound of the two jet's engines roaring to life. When the planes started their roll down the flight line I knew it wasn't long before they were on the runway. Even though they were over a mile away, the mighty roar of the Tomcat's could still be heard. The old warbird howled as it soared down the runway not too long the Hornet's more shrill engines pierced the air and soon too sped down the runway joining its larger cousin into the wild blue yonder.
Now all we could do was sit and wait for them to return and hopefully soon to be heading for their respective commands.
"So Mike what's been going on?" Hill asked
"Nothing much just chilling out," I replied
"So have you found that special someone yet?" Hill asked him.
"Not yet but that person is out there," I lied.
"Well I hope you do," He said
"So do I," I fake sighed
We then heard over the speaker box, "Aircraft ten minutes out all hands to the flight line."
We all headed out to the flight line with tools with us just in case we needed them.
Once outside we looked towards the sky looking for our birds to come into view.
We searched the skies for a few minutes when someone pointed to the southeast sky. "There they are," the girl said. I followed her fingers and extending the range of my eyesight I saw the two flying ladies as they flew in tandem. When they got closer I pulled back until all I saw were two small insignificant objects in the distance on an approach vector. Soon you could see their approach lights and small details like their wings.
I could feel the pride building up as I watched some of the world's most powerful aircraft coming home. I felt great pride knowing that in my own way I was fulfilling the oath I made last night. As much as it pained me not to be out at sea along with my former command I knew that this was where I was meant to be at least I had thought until the Father, and Mother changed that. As the Guardian I was going to make sure their sacrifices weren't in vain.
The F-14 was the first one to make a perfect touchdown followed by the F-18 both zooming down the runway as they fought physics. They finally began to slow down then turned around heading back our way.
With the jets back on deck and now parked on the line we all asked various questions gathering reports about what parts failed if they had failed and any other grips they might have had, but the three pilots said that they were ready to head home.
They headed in and so did we there; we waited for Maintenance to tell us to check tools then head home.
"Well another day another dollar," Hill said as he changed into his civvies.
"Yup I wonder how long till these jets leave?" I wondered
"We'll find out," He responded
AT1 came back and gave us our passdown then we were out the door.
After leaving the base I had to go to the Geothermal Plant. I still had work there to do and there was still plenty of daylight left to burn.
When I got to the Plant I was greeted by Justin Hert, one of the many employees who work at the Geothermal Plant. He ran our office workers who helped keep a lot of the daily operations in the east wing of the plant organized.
"Good afternoon Mr. Hert," I greeted holding out m right hand
"Mr. Pennock a pleasure I hope Mr. Matthews isn't running you too ragged," Hert shook my hand we continued to the guard booth showing Luis Graves our guard on duty today our ID's
"No more the he has you jumping through hoops every day," I smirked
Graves gave me back my ID "And how are you doing Luis?" I asked
"I am fine sir thank you," Graves said while looking at Graves I pulled out my cell "Stella it is Mike come in,"
"Go ahead Mike," Stella answered "Get someone up here to relieve Mr. Graves on the double," I ordered
Both Graves and Hert looked at me "Luis you need to go home," I quickly answered
When both Stella and Dave along with Frank Wilson another guard came up to the booth "Mike what is going on?" Dave demanded
"Dave it is Graves' wife she and her child are in dire need of medical attention," I answered of anyone there only Dave who didn't seem shock "My child but she isn't due for 3 weeks," Graves gasped
Dave stepped up "Luis heed Mike's warning go home and get Heather to the hospital we can take it from here,"
Luis left the booth with Justin, Stella and Frank scratching their heads "Stella I trust Mike when he see something like this and I have no doubt whatsoever that Luis is needed at home," Dave answered their unasked question
Frank assumed the post with Stella taking whatever personal effects Luis left back into the Plant while Justin and I followed Dave back into the Plant. Justin headed down the hall leading to his office and when Dave and I entered the elevator "Mike what is it?" Dave asked
"The baby is having complications that if not seen by a doctor now will result in a stillborn," I answered
"Will Luis get Heather to the hospital in time?" Dave now shot me a fearful glance
"It is going to be close Dave if the baby is stillborn it will take Heather with her," I sighed as I could feel both the mother and child life now hanging in the balance.
Dave picked up his cellphone and placed a call "Dr Wild it is Dave Matthews," I heard him
"Listen I am sending one of my employees to you it is a matter of life or death," Dave quickly told his good doctor friend
"We are not sure the reason by it seem the child is in danger of being a stillborn and it will take the mother with her when it happens," Dave said urgently
"I am calling him right now," Dave hung up and called Luis "Sir just got home," I heard Luis say "I found Heather unconscious," I heard Luis fear "I am waiting for the ambulance to get here," I could hear Luis's fears
"Let me know when they do I have a friend waiting to receive you he is the best there is," Dave recommended
"I got to go to the ambulance just got here Heather needs me," Luis hung up.
Dave quickly told him where to go and who to see, when Dave hung up on Luis telling him that he could take whatever time he needed to be with his wife.
Dave looked at me again and said, "Mike I just have to ask even though I can almost guest,"
"How did I know?" I wearily asked
"Yes?" Dave was now frantic because he wanted to be there for one of his employees which is why I love working for him.
"While I don't for sure why Heather came to me while I was talking to Luis all I know was that psychic link all couples tend to have came through so loud and clear," I answered
"I take it there is nothing even you can do?" Dave asked
"In this instance no nature's healing powers are far superiors compare to man's most advance hospitals," I sighed
"There are limits to what it can heal like whatever this is," Dave understood
"It is more than that somethings are meant to happen and I am not allow to change that and what is about to happen is not mine to fix," I sighed
Dave looked at me there was a sad recognition in his demeanor "I hope you are not saying,"
"At this time I can't say anything because it really is in the hands of your doctor friend to know what to do in this instant," I answered somberly.
We got to his office and began going over personnel files Dave didn't seem to be reading just waiting for a call. Dave kept glancing at his phone as if he wanted to call his doctor friend to find out what was going on. I got up and looked out the window Stella came into the office "Sir can you please fill me in on why Luis had to leave so suddenly?"
"It appears Heather is having complications with her baby and it is all critical right," Dave answered
That got Stella's attention "How bad?"
Looking out the window I said "There is chance of Luis losing both mother and child,"
This got Stella's attention as well "Sweet Jesus what happened?"
"We don't know Luis should be at the hospital by now, we are still waiting on possible words," Dave said, itching to pick up the phone.
Dave was a great humanitarian. I noticed he puts himself into other people's shoes "Mike did Luis tell you he needed to go?" Stella asked
"No I sense something when I saw Luis when I shook his hand I didn't know for sure what it was only that his wife and child were in danger," I explained
"But we still know any more then that Luis found his wife unresponsive when he got home," Dave offered
"I will be saying a prayer for all of them," Stella said as she left the office.
Dave and I toured the power plant. We still had our thoughts on Luis and his wife but we still had other duties to perform. We had to inspect several areas today from the pit to several water reclamation storage which houses 50% of the reclaimed steam turned into water purified by the geothermal pit. Most of it is sent to areas in need of clean water. While the rest is stored to be used in the geothermal pit should there be a need.
There was a separate area that housed water for uses inside the geothermal plant from making sure there was clean water to drink to being used in the Geothermal Plants fully stock kitchen while they didn't get gourmet meals, the employees also didn't get cafeteria foods either. Dave really likes taking care of his workers and the Geothermal Plant more than made enough money to help provide such things especially with the aid of both the solar panels and wind turbines have done much to help offset the cost of providing for such things beside vending machine style snacks. I was actually amazed at how much effort Dave put in for his employees. Dave's heartfelt worry for Luis and his wife are testaments to his compassion.
I have heard numerous times in the Borg meeting how they are more worried about the money end when even with all that we make they still think we will go bankrupt if Dave keeps shelling out money to take care of his employees like he does.
Leaving the water storage room we came up to a hallway and went to the loading dock where we came up to a dock worker sleeping on a pallet of supplies for the offices. The smell of alcohol on his breath "Mr. Mathews it isn't what it looks like," The Dock worker stammered "Jared we have talked about this, you coming to work drunk, and this is not the first time I found you asleep on the job," Dave snapped
At that moment the foreman for the docks came up to Dave "Sir I told him to go home," Before anyone could respond Jared grabbed a pipe and began to swing
"I am not leaving," Jared cried. Jared swung at Dave, putting myself between Jared and Dave. I dodged the drunk and wide swings. I took hold of Jared's wrist, relieving him of his improvised weapon and with the palm of my hand. I drove it under Jared's chin sending the soon to be unemployed worker flying into crates behind him. The force along with the alcohol in Jared's blood was enough to leave Jared dazed. Before he could fall I was there to gently help him down to the dock floor. When my hand came in contact with his I was given a flash of images dealing with a missing child. She was at least six or seven years of age. That was the last thing I saw before the alcohol in Jared's blood took hold and he was rendered unconscious. I whispered into his ears "You should have come to us Jared we could have helped,"
Jared was now laying on the ground. Dave had called for security and ordered them to call the police. "I knew Jared was in trouble but I never figured he would resort to assault," the Foreman was still in shock.
"All is not as it appears," I simply said
When I turned I saw Dave looking at me there was nothing that could be done right now the police had to take Jared into custody and took Jared away,
"Well this was certainly an exciting tour," Dave quipped as we left the loading dock. Then we made our way back to Dave's office Dave asked softly "What did you see?"
"Nothing much Dave the alcohol levels in Jared's blood was so high it blocked my powers," I answered
Not satisfied with my answer Dave prompted me to continue, "But you did see something," Dave noted
"All I saw was the image of a little girl between the age of six or seven and that she was missing," I answered somberly
This made Dave stop in his track "This is what you meant, when you said things weren't all they seemed,"
"Something is really wrong with Jared and he drinks because he doesn't know what to do," I spoke up.
Dave and I returned his office his phone was ringing Dave ran to pick it up "Dave Matthews,"
"Mr Matthew please thank Mr Pennock for me," I could hear Luis over the phone
"How did it go?" Dave asked
"We got Heather here in the nick of time. Doctor Wild, was able to save both mother and child," I could hear the relief in Luis's voice.
Looking at Dave I could see the sense of relief wash over him as well "That is great news I want you to spend time with Heather and report to work in two days,"
When Dave hung up the phone my mentor fell into his office chair with a waning smile Dave spoke softly "Mike, even without your healing powers, you saved the lives of two people,"
I waved off the congratulations "I didn't do anything here Dave just informed Luis of the danger to his wife and child it was your doctor friend who saved them both,"
"Mike, just by telling Luis, of the danger and insisting he go home to care for his wife, getting her to the hospital in time to save both mother and daughter, was what made the difference, had Luis worked his shift like normal he would have gone home to his wife still on that floor only she would have been beyond help," Dave reminded me. I began to do some paperwork when I heard Dave dial a number a second later I heard
Dave informed the person on the phone, "Chief Rodgers it is good to hear from you old friend,"
Dave apparently had called the police "I need a favor one of my employees was found drunk and attempted to assault me,"
I could hear Chief Rodgers assure that the man would answer for it but I could hear Dave wave some of it off, "Chief do me a favor ask him about a little girl who could be missing," that got Chief Rodger's attention and assured Dave he would get to the bottom of it.
"Dave I will talk to him when he has sobered up some," I told my mentor
"I will be there," Dave reassured.
We left the office so Dave could pass along the good news about Luis. As we were returning to Dave's office my cell phone went off "Hello?" I answered
"Hello babe," I heard my love
"Hey Jeff, how is practice?" I asked I could see Dave smiling out of the peripheral of my eyes
"It is grueling I could use your company," Jeff replied
"Gee I don't know Dave might not like me leaving work this early," I smirked. I turned to see Dave about to take a seat when he both laughed and then pointed to the door
"What Dave are you canning me?" I asked
I heard Jeff gasped "Mike no I don't want Dave firing you so you can come see us,"
"No Jeff," I heard Dave shout
"I am telling your boyfriend to get his ass down to that studio," Dave shouted again. This made both Jeff and I laugh
"Thank God and for worrying me like that you are now in charge of getting the dinner," Jeff snickered
"Thanks a lot Dave," I snickered
Throwing up his hands in a dramatic flare, "I wasn't the one who told your boyfriend I was `canning' you now get out of here," Dave smirked and turned around so he could go over several reports. I laughed as I talked to Jeff as I got to my truck only hanging up so I could drive.
I stopped at a pizza shop that the closest to the studio and put in the order The front desk girl said, "This will take a few moments," I just told her "That is fine,"
I stepped back when my cell phone went off. The ring was one I programmed for BEATTI. Returning to my truck when BEATTI reported "Sir there is a bank hold up at 5th and Market,"
"Damn and I got hungry guys who will be very unhappy if these steaks go cold," I grumbled but I found an empty alleyway and in quick spin I went from Mike Pennock to the Guardian
"Hopefully this won't take long," I said as I fired a grapple to the closest skyscraper and swung to action.
Landing on the tower closest to the bank I saw the police had already swarmed in and the bank was surrounded by police cruisers.
Their strobe lights were flashing and I heard the police chief who I recognized as Chief Rodgers was on the bullhorn "This is Philadelphia PD come out and surrender!"
I heard over the police sirens "We will never give in,"
"Well I gotta make this quick. Those cheesesteaks are not going to stay hot," I grumbled and put my hand over my wrist mounted bolt launcher. I loaded it with my first successful batch of bullet ant venom.
I jumped over to the bank "I can't go through the front door, so I will take the most direct route," I punched the roof and soon went through five floors.
When I came to bank I heard a round of gasps "I have came to make a withdraw," I smirked when the dust cleared I saw five masked men they all pointed their guns at me "I was really hoping we could settle this peacefully," I remarked
"We will never give in," the ringleader announced.
"Such determination," I puffed out my chest.
"Get the him," The ringleader ordered they leveled their guns for action.
"Oh shoot," I held up my hand in defends and then five fireballs shot out of me hand each one hit their mark. All five guns melted,
The robbers all screamed as their weapons melted into metal slags. "Now that you have been disarmed lets see if we can settle this peacefully," I recommend
"Get the freak," the ringleader demanded
"So much for diplomacy," I shrugged as I pulled out my Fighting Pike.
The five robbers all charged at me. The first to reach me I smacked across the face with my Fighting Pike. The second goon felt the Pike across his shin "Here let me put ice on that," I said as I put my hand on his shin. Ice formed around the goon's leg dropping him. The third pulled out a knife flipping out of the way, "I get the point," I huffed as I dodged the knife attack. I swung the Fighting Pike connecting with knife sending it flying to floor,
"I can be pretty blunt myself," I bantered as I brought my fist around and socked the robber in the face sending him flying into a water cooler as the water spilled all over him "Now you have gone and wet yourself," I remarked as the last two goons tried their luck.
"So how is that cause going?" I asked
the ringleader snarled "You mutant scums are a pain,"
I shook my head "I am afraid you got me all wrong, these powers are just elemental," I said as I held up my hand and two whirlwinds formed under both the ringleader and his companion picking them up. They cried in surprise.
"And now you cause is gone with the wind," I stated as I opened the bank's front door moving my hand both whirlwinds took the robbers out and deposited them in front of the police.
As the robbers were arrested the rest of the police squad charged the bank.
"And with that I will make like the wind and blow," I quickly fired my grapple and lifted off into the sky.
Just as the police stormed the bank and took away the last would be bank robbers.
A short time later I quickly changed back and reentered the pizza parlor just as they were wrapping up my order. "Well at least I didn't have to wait for them," I said. While I waited for them to finish up I happened to see the news and there was Guardian making headlines. The story of how he foiled the bank robbers without anyone getting hurt made my day.
With the aid from pizza parlor I got the food and drinks back to my truck. I made sure to leave them a sizable tip. I got in and drove back to the studio.
With the help of the stagehands we got the food and drinks in without any further delays "What kept you?" Nick asked as he picked up a cheesesteak
"Oh I had to make a quick stop at the bank I was a little low on cash and decided to make a withdraw," I answered
"Ah cool," Jeff smirked as he took a bite
"This is why I love Philly," Drew swooned over his cheesesteak. I just laughed as my friends enjoyed themselves.
While we ate Luc came up and said "Guys before we finish for the day I have something for you to think about,"
"Management called and wanted to ask if you would perform for a charity concert in Atlantic City," Luc requested
"What kind of charity?" Justin asked
"It is to raise mutant awareness," Luc answered
"In a good way or a bad way?" I had to ask
Luc turned to me "I am told it is in a good way,"
"What does that mean?" this time Jeff was asking
"The organizers what to find away to breach the gap between mutants and normal humans," Luc clarified
"That sound wonderful," Justin cheered
"You guys up for it?" Luc asked
"Yes we are all ago for it," Nick agreed
"Can we invite Mike to come?" Drew asked
"I think we can arrange something," Luc answered
"Great we need at least one person there we know," Jeff smiled
"There are going to be a ton celebrities there I am assuming and you probably know them better then you know me," I pointed out
"Don't argue Mike we want you there," Drew grinned
I just shook my head as they finished their dinner then moved off to finish practice.
It was Luc who pulled me aside and side "I personally want you there myself,"
"Why is that?" I asked
"Because you will be there to protect them," Luc said
"I don't understand?" I was puzzled
"Mike I see how you are around them they may not know but you seem to have a watchful eye on them," Luc stated
"I am just a friend looking out for his friends," I said nonchalant
"That is exactly the kind of person I want there," Luc reassured
I wasn't sure what Luc was getting at but the Guardian will most definitely be watching.
That is it for this chapter more to come.
