Since going through Central Park was a bad idea lately, he thought taking the subway would be better. Granted, it wasn't all that great he certainly decided it was best to only take it once in a while. He didn't really have the extra cash to spend on buying a ticket and boarding this moving metal box. Besides, he didn't really like the ride so far.
There weren't many people here but even though he didn't take it before, he knew that the subway could be crowded from time to time. He was glad that it wasn't. He just would've been way too nervous to sit there the whole time. His gaze glanced about for a moment, only to go to his watch. How much longer?

Ugh this was not the way Zandra would choose to get around.. It was getting late into the day and the sky was just starting to go dark. But it was not night yet and Zandra had left her Night Dancer costume at home... So if something where to happen she would not be able to do anything.. Unless someone threatened to kill someone she would have to step in.. Not that she would really care if a human she did not know got killed the blood would be a issue.. As she only drinks animal blood her body longs for human blood.. There for she cannot control herself very well if she smells human blood.. The train came to a stop and Zandra entered, taking a look around and thankfully this was the slow hours for the subway, less people the better.. With a sigh Zandra took a empty set took out a book and started to read it. All the while still keeping a eye out on the others on the subway.

Zandra wasn't the only one with a blood issue. Thankfully though, he was fine when it came to looking at blood. That he was glad wasn't a issue, if it was then he'd be stuck as the Demon Dog for longer amounts of time and that would be a problem. The train had stopped and a lady entered it, she wasn't the only one but not many people got on. Looking around, his gaze landed upon Zandra.
She was close by but he didn't know if he should talk to her. Talking to people had become a thing that he struggled to do. He didn't want to get close to others just in case if they ended up getting hurt by him. Taking a deep breath, he looked back to Zandra for a moment.
"Hi..." Davyn greeted, his voice was filled with nervousness and it sounded like it was hushed as he spoke.

If this was not the only way to get home the fastest Zandra would have done something else. Zandra looked bored as she read her book, though before she could read much she heard some try to talk to her, Zandra lowered her book and gave a small at the young man. He was good looking young fellow though shy. In a way Zandra found that cute, but then again she saw all timid men cute. Much better then those macho losers that think they are all thought and can whoo any woman with their looks and their money.. Losers the lot of them, " Hello, my name is Zandra wants yours?" she said in a warm friendly manner trying to get the kid open up a bit as he seemed like he wanted to talk.

Hearing a voice respond, he returned his gaze to Zandra. Okay, he didn't expect her to respond back. He put his hands together as he sat there, a nervous thing now.
"I'm...Davyn." Davyn answered as he gave a polite smile.
His voice had a bit more confidence to it, not much but just enough to where his voice wasn't hushed. So it was normal sounding.

As the train pulled in silently to the station in Harlem, five shadowed figures boarded in the first carriage. It was dark, and the first cart was empty, leaving them plenty of room to make their moves.
The first one on pulled off the hooded jacket she wore to reveal a pretty face that was warped in an expression of boredom.
"Aston, why are we even doing this?" she whined, "I thought we were just gonna smash the windows of the Macy's again."
The second, a young gentleman in a red jacket, turned to snap at her.
"Just do it Lila. Once we do this, the Brotherhood won't ignore us anymore. They'll have to let us in. And I told you, call me Scorch."
At this, Lila turned and knocked on the door separating them from the drivers. The third - another guy, wearing a black beanie hat and a morose expression - slumped against a standing bar.
"You really think hijacking an empty subway train's gonna get us brownie points? Get real, Aston." he groaned.
The parting door opened just as Aston went to retort. The driver scowled at the five teenagers standing opposite him. Lila turned around and stepped back.
"Can I help you?" he asked, and without a moment's hesitation, Aston swung a flaming fist - a fist literally on fire - into the conductor's face. He fell back, dazed and burned and whimpering. The fourth teenager, who hadn't yet spoken, dragged him into the empty carriage.
Aston turned.
"Josh, Skye, stay here and make sure nobody interrupts us, okay?" Aston commanded. The guy who had dragged the body back and the final member of the group - a girl with a mohawk - nodded mutely. Aston, the guy in the beanie (whose name is Lawrence) - and Lila filed into the small cabin.
The driver turned, but before he could react, Lawrence transformed into a swarm of mosquitoes and bit him with each of them. Aston smirked as the body fell, and reached for the tannoy.
"DING DONG! This is your driver speaking! Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, this train's gone off the rails. Don't get your panties in a twist though - that'll only make things worse for everyone!"
Aston clearly hadn't thought out the speech, but he didn't care. Lila laughed a few times, and Lawrence smirked - that was enough for him. [ooc: so your guys are: Aston, in red, has already revealed himself as a pyrokinetic. Lawrence, in green, can transform into a swarm of small insects. Josh (who hasn't spoken) is super strong. Skye is a telepath. Lila, in purple, is an electrokinetic.]

Ok so this was was a really shy one... If he did not talk she would have a hard time trying to talk to him. " Nice to meet you, though you really are a shy one huh." zandra said a little bluntly though that was not knew for her. Though before she could talk to him again a voice came over the speaker saying the subway had been highjacked. The vampire frowned and looked around. Again glad there where so few people on the train. It would have been a lot worse if this placed was packed. Zandra then leaned back in her chair and looked at Davyn. " Davyn.. Just sit back and don't do anything... I have the feeling these are amateurs.... I;m going to check it out. stay here..." Zandra said as she got up. She may not be in her Night dancer costume but she was not going to sit there helplessly.. And if Davyn followed well she would not stop him each to his own if he wanted to play hero she would let him. Zandra then slowly made her way into the next car keeping a eye out for the train hijackers.

"I'm not used to talking to people all that much." Davyn replied as he sat there.
A voice started through the radio speaker, oh great. Just great. Letting a sigh go, he just couldn't get a break could he? Central Park was a bad idea to walk through but this? This was really screaming, don't take the subway! Seeing Zandra rise to her feet and leave, Davyn stayed put for a few moments.
What should he do? If he tried to help, then he risked the chance of the Demon Dog getting loose. Screw it. Rising to his feet, Davyn went to go after Zandra.

Standing guard by the door, Skye blew a bubble and popped it with her finger. Josh stared at her in disgust.
"Do you have to be so gross?" he asked her quietly. She got up in his face, blew the bubble and popped it again, chewing the gum loudly to irritate him more. Josh clenched his fist. He'd love to knock her through the wall, but his mama had taught him not to hit girls. Even if she was more manly than him.
Suddenly, Skye put a finger to her temple.
"People coming," she said in a low voice. Josh stepped back and bashed his fist lightly against the door to alert Aston. Even though he'd barely put any strength behind it, it rattled in its frame.
"Aston, we've got company," he raised his voice.
"Deal with it, you idiot. That's why I put you there."
Aston, like always, sounded like an arrogant jerk. Josh wondered why he put up with it sometimes.
The fallen conductor at his and Skye's feet moaned softly. As a pretty brunette and a scrawny guy came through, Josh stepped forwards, purposely crushing the conductor's hand with his boot. A sickening crunch echoed as the fingers were ground to nothing. The conductor, half conscious, let out a sharp cry of agony.
Josh didn't want there to be a girl. He couldn't fight girls. Skye rolled up her sleeves and sighed, cracking her neck.
"Go back to your carriage and we won't hurt you," Josh ordered them, trying to make himself sound as intimidating as he could. Though he was extremely well built for seventeen years old, he wasn't much of a talker - he usually left that to Aston.
"Don't speak for me, you big moron. I've been aching for a fight all day," Skye grinned, dropping into a stance he recognised from the dozens of times he'd seen her brawling.

Ah yep Davyn had followed not much she could do unless she wanted to knock him out. But she had a feeling that would be a bad idea. Once in the next car Zandra saw the first set of goons. A strong looking guy and a stupid cocky looking girl how had bad fighting stance.. Ahhh kids these days think they are all that just for having some powers.. Ohh this was going to be fun.. When the boy said to turn back not wanting to fight them Zandra looked at him with a smile, though when the girl spoke she frowned not amused. "My my... You are a mutant.. Both of you right? You seem like a gentlemen why are you hanging out with goons? And sorry I can't back down. You took over this train and sorry kids but that was a mistake. For I wont stand by and let hoodlums take us wherever hold me and other people hostage So you want to fight girly? You wont last a minute....." Zandra said looking rather bored as she then suddenly charged at Skye faster then any human could run. She then started to jab at Skye's body trying to hit the pressure points that would take away her powers before jumping back in a perfect fighting stance.

Davyn caught up and paused behind her, there were two goons. Okay great. Two guys and it was rather clear that one of them had some knowledge of fighting, since they went into a fighting stance.
"Now and days most people when they get power, it goes to their head. Plus it's really doubtful you intend to keep your word." Davyn said, although he wished he had stayed quiet.
That was probably a bad idea to say. Zandra suddenly charged really fast and Davyn really felt like he wasn't going to be of any use here. He had no knowledge of fighting and it was most likely going to end up with him snapping. That was when he made a stupid move.
Taking a shoe off, he threw it. Throwing it at Josh, he aimed it at them. Since Zandra had already gone after the other one.

Josh frowned. The brunette was making sense. He was already irritated by Skye - he knew that they were supposed to watch each others' backs, but if she was just gonna insult him and be mean all night, she could fight her own battles. He wouldn't stick up for her. Aston put them together because Skye's mental abilities complimented his physical ones, but he knew he'd probably be fine on his own.
"Bring it," Skye smirked, her upper lip twisting in a fierce grin. She managed to dodge the first couple of jabs by putting up her arms and skittering to the left, but the last few got her.
She swung back with a right hook to get herself some room, and then put a finger to her head.
And then she staggered.
"My telepathy's gone all whacked," she snarled, shaking her head and then spinning a kick. She was used to delivering beatdowns on people - but this girl was so quick, she'd have to be on the defensive. She kept her back to the wall to protect her spine, and had her arms level to either snap up to protect her face or down over her stomach.
Meanwhile, Josh was dealing with the boy. The shoe was a surprise - it hit him square in the chest and made him flinch.
"Really?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in disbelief. He hoped the dude had more than that in him, or he'd be squashed like one of Lawrence's bugs. He picked the shoe up and tossed it back with more force, moving towards him so that he had more room to maneuver.
"Last chance," he warned, cracking his knuckles. He hadn't wanted to come on this stupid trip. He wasn't a killer. Hopefully, he could just knock this guy out and be done.

Zandra could not help but laugh as the girl attacked, she was so slow and clumsy. But Zandra had to admit she would be a handful for most people.. Though she laughed more when the girl noticed her powers where not working or not working right as she was unable to hit all the points. " Notice that did you? I was trying to disable them. Don't worry I will soon enough and then Nighty night time for you. And if your trying to read my mind it wont work anyway..."" Zandra said to the girl with a smile. The girl had put her back to the wall and was doing a good job defending herself.. But she was not guarding her lower body... Zandra then went down and kicked the girl hard in the knee area to knock her down and hopefully hurt het legs bad enough she would not be able to get back up.

Davyn stood there with a surprised expression. Wait a second...did...did it actually hit the guy?! He blinked a few times and as he stood there, he really didn't see that coming. Only to see the shoe come flying back at him, causing him to duck. However, the man was coming toward him now as Davyn grabbed hold his shoe and stood up.
"Right, go back to the cart to just wait for a slower death." Davyn started. "No thanks really. Your boss is going to drive this thing off the tracks and that'll kill everyone on this train. I'm not going to sit there and wait."
Okay maybe he heard the announcement wrong but still. Who knows what was going to go on now. After all, no one really knew what was going to happen anything could really. Okay seriously though...what else could he do besides throw the stupid thing. Trying something crazy, Davyn clenched his hand into a fist and swung. Aiming to punch the guy, it most likely wouldn't do much though. Davyn wasn't really a strong guy.

Skye attempted to dodge the attack, but she was outgunned. At least she wouldn't come out of this fight with nothing. As she went down, swearing as her knee gave out, she slammed a hand on the door.
"Aston, one of them's got some crazy power blocking thing going on!" she yelled, swearing again as the train juddered, rocking on the rails beneath it. Aston was clearly not experienced in driving a train.
"You think you've won, don't you?" she sneered at the woman, hating that she knew she'd been beaten. Give her a few minutes and she'd be back up and ready again, but she didn't have a few minutes. Hopefully Josh could make mush out of them both.
In the cabin, Aston watched as Lila threw back her head, absorbing all of the electricity being caused by the train's motion, pulling it from the generators.
This is better than ecstasy, she decided, the electricity leaving little sparks as it flowed into her. Given enough time, she could blow this place up, cause a catastrophe. Bring the tunnel down on them. Right now, she felt like the master of the universe. Aston turned to Lawrence.
"Lila's not ready yet. You've gotta get out there and stall them," he ordered. Lawrence just gave him a look that told him exactly where he could stuff his stalling.
"I really don't want to hurt you. But I will," Josh mumbled. He caught Davyn's hand in his fist and squeezed almost hard enough to break the knuckles. He had a little bit of fighting experience himself - Aston made him be the muscle, even if he didn't want to be. He wouldn't attack this guy though, not unless he felt like he was in danger. He reminded Josh of the dorky kids at school who just wanted to be left alone. The girl had probably dragged him into this.
