Just a Train Crash

"I'm afraid you might have to come with me." Robin finished and I sighed.

Looking up to 'heaven', right at the Angel above me, I cried out melodramatically, "Ohhhh, would to God he would lend me His sword to smite my foes!"

Dropping the sword in my lap like magic I hopped up in a goofy stance I saw on TV once, yelling, "En garde!"

Robin lengthened his Bo staff and stood in a defensive stance then I added, "Would to God he would take me away on an angel's wings!"

Catching my cue, the angel boi swooped me up and began flying away. I gave Robin the bird as we flew away as I laughed, "Ha-ha! Sucker!"

Robin's pov

My hand flew to my COMM as I said, "Suspects flying east. Raven, Hosun, do you guys got a lock on them?"

"We got 'em." Raven wheezed before coughing, "Just let me get this cup of coffee."

"The drone is on them Robin but they're going to the subway."

"Robin," Starfire's voice asked, "since Raven is sick. Are you sure we can't get someone from B-Team to help us? Just in case?"

Waking up in the middle of the night befuddled Dick Grayson's thinking as the young man gave her question a dismissive wave, "I think we'll be fine. What's the worst thing that could happen?"

Kevin Grant's pov

In the subway I caught a lot of looks. Angel boy over here got a lot to, we were a walking joke. I could just see someone saying 'so, an angel and hobo walk into a bar-' and so on and so on. It got so bad, when we got on the train the bashful Angel boi looked to me and said, "I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick."

The blushing idiot seemed soft and squeamish. Con artists probably loved the kid because he practically walked around with a neon sign on his head saying 'I'm easily manipulated'. However, easy to use or misuse and a pushover are two totally different things. I would need more time to deduce his power potential due to those wings. Having extra limbs in a one on one fight can make a whole world of difference in a fight. I could be wrong about him being used as well but God the kid seemed like a wimp at first glance.

Who am I to talk though? I pretty much look like a hobo who just got out of a motorcycle crash. Probably seem like a dick who judged everyone I met in the first two seconds I've known them.

Something was stressing him out though, he was constantly tight. Boy might snap. I guess we'll see what happens.

"Yeah go hide or whatever."

To my right a mother and son were staring, to my front of where I was sitting were two young girls my persona's age group (technically I'm 200 but look 18), and to my left a guy was staring at me. Sick of it, I flicked off the mother and son. I scratched my balls in the most obscene manner and then the girls in front of me flushed. Then I gave the finger to the guy on my left… but he wasn't staring… he was leering.

I made a middle finger cross yelling, "Begone thot!"

He wasn't deterred and I ended up knocking on the bathroom door yelling, "Hey! Open up! I need to hide to!"

"Hide from what?" A green boy from behind me asked but I already knew who it was. I didn't know any other little green men running around besides Beastboy. Yelping I smashed through the bathroom door and leapt out the window.

Let that sink in a second.

I jumped out the window of a moving, underground train. Thankfully the train, and wall only played a friendly game of ping pong with my body and I didn't go under the train. In the blur I think I saw the Titan van hugging the back of the train.

I laid there a few moments before I finally regenerated. Standing up, I leaned side to side and popped my back. After clicking like Morse Code, I leaned my head to the side and hit my other ear like a kid at the pool getting water out of one ear. Only thing was that it was blood. After a sigh, I ripped off my tattered rag for a shirt, dabbed my ears, zipped up my jacket the best I could and started walking.

"Al's" pov

He's gone, the big guy is going to be disappointed with me. Green eyes peered in at me. The owner thereof whistled in awe, "He jumped out of the train didn't he?"

Flicking my wrist I summoned my flaming sword, the sword of Eden and the boy morphed into a bird and flew back. Stepping into the main corridor a beefy boy at 6'6" with robotic parts all over him popped his knuckles. I stepped back to the door to the next car.

"Now, now, bird brain," Cyborg said, "Why'd you scare my friend?"

"I didn't do anything." I opened the door.

"Then there'd be no problem in coming in, getting some coffee and answering questions."

I stepped onto the next car, and finished my statement, "-yet."

With a swipe I severed the mechanisms connecting us, causing he and Beastboy to scramble to try and save the train car. Another familiar voice cleared his throat behind me. I turned to it and Robin stood there, a cocky look on his face.

"You shouldn't have done that."
