Carnival Assault Train

[Quick Note - This is set at some point in the future compared to most of my work, Amanda has left the group to find her own path, her impending marriage was announced a week previously, but Stephan has discovered a plot to "eliminate" her.]

Bluedarky rushed into the station in Atlas Park, he quickly glanced around, seeing Amanda look around, he ducked within the crowd and made his way around the station trying to stay unnoticed and hoping Amanda wouldn’t realize the psychic void was him, he almost tripped over the beggar as a plan occurred to him.

Amanda sat on the train, the car was empty apart from a homeless man on the back seat seeking comfort from the cold, he refrained from scanning his mind, men like him had few sanctuaries and their mind was one of them, she felt a strange kind of unease as the train began moving but ignored it.

Five minutes down the line she realized that the train wasn’t stopping at any stations, it was a trap. She got up and went to the back of the car as the door opened and two Carnival members step through, the masks on their faces impassive as ever. Amanda flew down to the other end of the car as that door opened bringing two carnival strongmen, as she scanned the train edging into the centre of the car she realised it was full of Carnival members.

She dropped as one of the Strongmen threw a punch at her, using her telekinesis to enhance her punch she knocked him into the other end of the car, as she stood the second grabbed her from behind, she struggled as she realized the beggar from the back was up and running towards her, she ducked her head as the mans punch collided with the Strongman’s chest.

She was dropped, she quickly turned her attention to the Psychic members of the carnival in the car as the beggar engaged the strongman in hand to hand combat, they put up little resistance to her, probably wanted her mind intact for Giovanni.

The beggar reeled into her back from a punch of the strongman, another strongman who’d entered whilst she was engaged with the psychics grabbed him from behind, as she aimed a telekinetic blast at the strongman the beggar pulled out of the coat and hat to reveal Bluedarky.

Amanda had never been so pleased to see him, even through all her training, she realized he must have exchanged his trenchcoat for the hat and coat but didn’t have time to care, the car was filling up quickly, as it became difficult to fight Bluedarky grabbed her and headed for the window, he dived through backwards protecting Amanda from the glass.

As they fell for the ground she used her powers to slow their descent, as they landed Carnival poured in from the streets.

“Got a plan?” she asked.

“Not a one,” he replied, “Backup is on the way though.”

“Then lets do our best.”

“To take down these?” he asked laughing, “They’re barely worth our time, backup is for what else is coming.”

“And what’s that?” she asked.

“Your fiance,” he replied as the army of carnival members attacked.
