[QUOTE="Calinon, post: 1312494, member: 13737"] [b]Outside[/b] 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. [b]Inside[/b] 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 [i](translation: Mama always told me),[/i] 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. [b]Back Outside[/b] 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.

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.
