Outside
Kevin is guiding the jet down when Michelle floats up beside him. As it touches down, somewhat roughly, grappling lines shoot out and attach themselves securely to the train, locking the plane fairly tightly in place. The engines start to power down.
Over his radio receiver he's been guiding the plane through, Kevin hears Titan bark out, "Sanchez! Abort landing! It's unstab...!" just as the train gives a huge lurch to the right! The hoverjet, locked firmly in place, adds to the momentum as the car starts to roll. It's connectors to the cars behind it start to break apart, leaving the other cars safely on the track as the lead car tips wildly.
The plane engines sputter as Sanchez tries to restart them, and conk out.
Inside
Sanjay is repairing the damaged stairs as Raisa makes her exclamation. John is helping those regaining consciousness into seats and buckling them in.
"What's not good?" Titan asks Raisa just as Loki calls for help. He looks back to see Carl with the bat and Loki explains he can't do solid shapes. "Carl! What do you think you are doing with that bat, Amigo? And you can make your light solid if you try hard enough; at least so Merlin says."
In the conversation, Johan's dry dissertation on the state of the Mag-Lev is completely lost, since it sounds alot like his standard dissertations on whatever subject has caught his attention. That, coupled with the sound of the hovering jet, causes nearly everyone to miss it.
Titan, however, catches part of it as he sees Michelle fly up from under the Mag-Lev from the corner of his eyes. You see him stomp his heel down once and the whole car shudders. As it does he shouts into a small microphone attached to his headset, "Sanchez! Abort landing! It's unstab...!"
The train gives a huge lurch to the right as the plane thumps down onto the roof. You hear the snapping of metal coming from beneath you. Titan lifts calmly into the air, quickly passing through a broken window. "La mamá siempre me dijo (translation: Mama always told me), if you want something done right, it helps to have an incredibly strong and good looking son to do it for you," Titan says somewhat jokingly as he vanishes out the window and under the train.
Thankfully, the train slowly gets righted. About a minute later, Sanjay has just finished the stairs and a black leather boot appears at the top of the stairs, surprising him. He looks up into the confident and reassuringly smiling face of none other than the leader of EPIC; Thunder.
Back Outside
Over his headset, Stealer hears an amazingly relaxed conversation, despite the direness of events.
"Titan, isn't the train supposed to be stable!?" says Sanchez.
"Hey I sent Michelle out to handle it," replies Titan. "Don't worry, I'll handle it." True to his word, the train starts to right itself. Looking behind you, both you and Michelle see Titan under the right side of the train, lifting it back into a secure position and holding it there.
"Are you sure you can hold it?" Sanchez says. "It's kind of important since I rather flooded the engines..."
"For you, sweet lady, I shall hold it for eternity!"
"Oh gawd," says another male voice.
"Hush you," says Sanchez.
"I'll check on the kids, and if you think you can handle it you can carry the lead car down once everyone is secure," says the male voice.
"If? IF!? There is no such word as if in the vocabulary of the mighty Titan!"
"Oh, here we go," says the male voice.
Kevin and Michelle find themselves hoping to hear one of Titan's famous hero-speeches with baited breath.
<Dead silence>
"That's it?" asks the male voice.
"You've already said the rest in your head," jokes Titan.
The engines suddenly roar to life again. "Aha, got them working again!" says Sanchez. "Lowering the ramp."
True to her word, the ramp lowers down and a man clad in a black body suit with lightning bolts emblazoned across the shoulders steps down it. He looks up at Stealer and Michelle. "Either get back in the train or into the jet, but get out of the way," he says. While said in a "don't fool around" way, it's not barked in a harsh way at all. Thunder jumps down into the train through one of the holes in the roof.
Back Inside
Thunder walks down the stairs. The EPIC jet leaves to the north and starts descending to the ground below. Thunder is every bit like his posters show. He's in his mid-to-late 30's, dressed in his famous black leather body-suit decorated with lightning bolts. His deep blue, nearly black, hair is tinged grey at the temples. He is extremely handsome, in a rugged sort of way, and he speaks in a voice that commands attention.
"Hey there everyone. If you all could take a seat and buckle up, Titan's going to show off a bit and fly the car down to the ground. Help those that can't do it themselves. Those who can use their powers to help keep the injured safely in place where they are, do so please." He grabs hold of Sanjay by the shoulder and turns him to the back of the car. "I need a wall to close off that hole in the back before we move." Turning from Sanjay, he surveys the rest of the car. "Anyone have any questions? And where are the brothers?"

"Hey son, I'm sure you did just fine with it. Lets see here," Thunder says as he examines the suit. He pushes something here, and twists something over there then stands up and exclaims, "I got it! We'll wait until we're on the ground and get Anna and Sanchez to help you remove it!"Velmont said:

"A wall of light? Hmmm..." Loki thinks to himself, "If Merlin thinks so." Loki creates a small (3"x3"x3"), simple cube of light, and tries his very hardest to make it as dense as possible. But, despite his efforts, he can easily break the cube with his own hands. "Something to work on for the future I guess"
"Wow, it's really Thunder," Loki thinks when he sees the EPIC team leader.
OOC: Loki's cube is hardness level 2, I'm not exactly sure how hard that is, but I'm betting it is not.

X12 shakes his head as he comes to. "Who did the examination on this kid?" X12 asks the nurse he was called over to help. "Fractures hurt... a lot... Next time, let's try and set a fracture with a splint... instead of with one of my bones. Helping tissue-injury patients first, and then the fractures, will generally extend my usefulnes."

Kevin walks near Michelle.
"Don't be ashamed. There is nothing to be. No one of us are prepared to what just happen. It is not because you failed to stabilized the train that you must think you worth nothing. Look at you, you can move metal items at will. Every damn thinig human have created in the last century have some metal in it. You are pretty powerfull. And that train must weight tons. It is just a feat of power to be able to move it with your will.
Just take a look at me. I have a power that can kill me. I am dependent of other mutants power, and I can't even mimic some cool power like yours, they are just too versatil for me. And during that combat, I just scratch the polish on that bot. Come, get up, you'll have another chance to prove what you worth pretty soon, and I'm sure you won't miss it."
Kevin give his hand to Michelle, and wait to see if she accept it.

"Wall, right...just call me Damage Control," Sanjay replies, a bit of exasperation in his voice. He creates a metal wall up against the gaping hole that is somewhat sloped on this side to make it more stable. He then regains his seat once more and puts on his seatbelt. "I have a question," he says to Thunder, waving a hand. "Who was that? I like to know someone's name before I put my boot up their ass."
