In addition to the hole made by Titan, two other perfect circles have been cut through the roof, undoubtedly where the mercenaries left through. Scuff marks indicate the helicopters touched down on the roof and slid around a fair bit, a testament to the piloting skill of those in control of them. Michelle tries to envelop the Mag-Lev in a stabalizing magnetic field, but the train is simply too masive. She realizes the problem, as the entire train is no longer hovering, but resting on a three foot wide piece of track. Flying to look underneath, she sees clamping mechanisms underneath holding the train down, but the heavy braking has shattered two on the left side, leaving the train dangerously unstable, at least for landing a jet on its roof. She manages to project an energy field around each broken clamp, stabilizing the train. Spot check: 14 vs dc10; Knowledge (metals): 24 vs dc15. The hoverjet slows as it approaches, landing struts extending. A voice comes through Stealers' battlesuit earpiece as he flips through the menu system. "Glad you are alright, Anna. You'll need to guide us in carefully," a female voice says with an accent somewhat like Raisa and Vincent have. "We're barely going to fit as it is." Stealer, you only get a few moments before the voice interrupts you, but it appears that it gives flight, has an ablative armor system, energy blasters, all around sight, radio headset, night vision and that's about as far as you get. In The Mag-Lev Titan nods to Michelle as she tells him about the blood sampling. "We know. We were stretched thin as reports came through from all over the world from similar situations or we would have been here sooner. This is the second worst situation so far. Now get up top and make sure the jet can land safely." Sanjay doesn't hear Titan's orders, but Titan doesn't press the issue since the removal of rubble from trapped students is certainly still a concern. In a few minutes, Sanjay manages to get the front of the cab completely clear of debris, glass included. John is in the process of moving the relatively uninjured majority of the students to the back. With Sanjay clearing the rubble, there is plenty of space to keep the injured students where they are. Titan is somewhat surprised to find Raisa has followed him up, especially given he'd assessed her injuries as somewhat severe. "El señorita bueno, usted es alto," he says in Spanish. (Good lord woman, you are tall) He takes his cape back and kneels down to wrap it around Dara. She doesn't even seem to notice. "Dara," he says to her. When she doesn't respond, he gives her a small shake and she comes to her senses. Immediately, an intense scream rips through the mind of Raisa, Johan, John, Vince and others nearby. Even Titan winces and falls back onto his rear. The pain is akin to driving an icepick into your eyeball. "Sorry," Dara mumbles. Titan flashes her a winning smile and those nearby sense her mood improve nearly immediately. "Eso es bien, Dara. I'm just glad you aren't hurt." He picks himself up and beckons Raisa to follow him. As he walks away, those watching Dara see her smell his cape and pull it tightly around herself. "I can't believe I have his cape," you "hear" in your mind. He points to an empty seat. "Sit," he says. "Someone is hurt worse than she believes. You aren't indestructible you know," he says, pointing at a blood stain already appearing on the arm of her sweater. X12 finds a student next to Rebound critically injured, though somewhat stabilized. Touching him, X12 is overcome by the injuries and passes out. The student's wounds vanish, though he remains unconscious. A minute later, X12 sits up. Titan grabs him by the arm and pulls him to his feet. "Glad I don't have to do that," Titan says with a smirk. He points at the door where the nurse is still working on the student Dara was saving earlier. "You need to help that nurse's patient." X12 approaches and finds the student suffering from two gunshots, one to the neck and one in the stomach. Both are severe. You touch him and his wounds rapidly close. The bullets actually pop out of the wounds! The pain is as intense as it was when you got shot earlier, and as a blast of agony rips through your hip, you realize the student's hip had been broken as well. You pass out and are disabled. Your wounds are already closing, though. He passes Neutron and gives him a smile. "Well done. Once you're finished, I need the stairs repaired. Some fool seems to have destroyed them," he jokes. He stops at Loki and pulls him up to his feet. "Hey kiddo. Saving the day again I see," he grins, looking down at the unconscious pair next to him. "Don't worry, they seem fine, but I need you to make me a wall so those reporters stay out," he says, pointing to the other end of the Mag-Lev car. And indeed, the reporters are inching forward. Cameras are flashing, especially focusing on Vincent. Several people can be heard referring to him as a monster, and infact, several reporters seem to be discussing possible headlines. "Monster causes Mag-Lev wreck" and "Demonic boy terrorizes Mag-Lev passengers" and the like are being bantered around. Carl quickly puts his gun away in the light of the cameras. Titan calls out, "Where are Cosmo and Jackal?" loud enough for everyone to hear.</blockquote>
