Why this must be read: The Sentinel is a fandom that lends itself easily and well to AUs and one of the popular genres is movieverse. Frequency is a wonderful example of this genre. While there's no mistaking the movie it's based on, it's still more Jim and Blair than the movie characters. All our favorite supporting characters are there as well and it's an intriguing case story to boot.



Blair had never been so relieved to get above ground. He paused for a moment on the top rung of the ladder, dragging huge lungfuls of relatively fresh air into his burning lungs. Something rammed his backside from below, pushing him bodily onto the roadway and he looked down to see Jim surging up the ladder.

"Take cover!" Jim yelled as he scooped Blair up by an arm and started to run. "It's going to flash!"

Blair didn't think his feet actually touched the ground. He could feel them slipping in the oily residue inside his shoes and stumbled, going almost to his knees before Jim dragged him back up.

There was a muffled explosion and the ground beneath them shook. Blair chanced a look back and saw orange flame belch from the open manhole, shooting several feet into the air before being sucked back beneath the surface. A second explosion followed and Blair felt himself lifted off his feet, then the jarring of impact with the road, the burning of his hands and knees as he skidded helplessly along. He pulled himself up this time, grasping Jim's hand and pulling him along, gaining cover seconds before flames engulfed the tanker and it exploded, showering the area with shards of metal and burning rubber. Jim pulled Blair to him, turning them so his back was to the deadly firestorm, Blair concealed protectively in front of him.
