Runaway Trains(Miss M)(Invite)

Winter was great with the little flakes of snow floating down in soft little puffs like cotton balls just drifting in the wind only the flakes were not as big or fluffy as cotton balls but more like little bits of cotton. Still it was pretty and she loved winter like this. Not the cold biting weather where it hurt to just have your eyes open and skin exposed, but this weather; just cold enough to crystallize moisture into ice fractals aka snowflakes. The ground even looked prettier with a soft blanket of the stuff not that there was much on the ground at the moment because there wasn't but still it was a precursor of things to come and she was excited for it. Snow meant skiing and snowboarding and outdoor skating with drinks of hot chocolate and marshmallows. The thought of marshmallows reminded her of Seven leading her to think that he probably has never gone skiing, or snowboarding or even ice skating. All of which M'gann felt the clone needed to experience. The less Cadmusy his assimilation and experiences were the better to counter act all the heavy that poor boy was put through.

M'gann had just started her Christmas shopping or 'scouting' today. She wasn't going to buy anything just yet so much as have a look around at what is out there and then write it on her list of potential gifts for the team. Christmas was one of her favorite times of the year and with it nearing she needed to get a move on if she wanted to get the perfect gifts for everyone. So there she was walking down the plaza window shopping with a cup of hot cocoa in her hand when her keen Martian hearing sensed it. M'gann turned her head in time to see a speeding train rush past an overpass. The speed at which the train was going and the sounds of screaming from inside told M'gann that it was potentially an out of control train. Tossing her still full cup of hot cocoa in the garbage can M'gann ducked into a vacant alleyway and shifted to her Miss Martian form before flying out of the alley way towards the speeding locomotive.

By the time M'gann reached the scene, the speeding uncontrollable train had detailed at the turn and flew off. M'gann floating about was just about to telekinetically brace the train but it seemed some yellow teen had already managed to lower the train to the street. People were still screaming in fear pounding at the windows to get out in panic. One of them called out about a bomb in the train. With that the young Martian used her telekinesis to open the doors and emergency windows to the train so people could get out. She then used her new found Martian ability to see through the train and find the explosive and bring it up towards the sky to detonate it.

Up and up she flew with the explosive until she was at a safe enough distance to hurl the bomb and then telekinetically detonate it. A soft boom could be heard above the city, high enough in the sky to sound like a soft muffled boom. Flying back down to the scene M'gann hoped the yellow hero was still around and lo and behold he still was.

"Hey that was great what you did there! Thanks for saving all those people." Miss Martian said to the yellow stranger. He reminded her of Blue, their resident blue lantern only this guy was yellow. She wondered if he was from some Lantern corp and what the yellow meant. She knew what green and blue were but she'd never run across a yellow Lantern before. Would it be rude or just plain dumb sounding to ask?

"Um..thanks..you Martian Manhunter's kid or something? "


M'gann started to chuckle at what the yellow boy called her. She supposed she did kind of look like her uncle j'onn's child and could be mistaken as such. It was just funny to have it heard said that way.

"Actually he's my --" she was cut short with the urgency of the other boy's voice.

"Wait hold on!"
he said as he stopped to fly into the air and see another train about to crash. M'gann took off to follow the yellow lantern boy.

"Hey what?!" 


M'gann followed suit and saw as Yellow boy did the same thing he did to the other train, but this time he moved to check it out. He didn't see a bomb, but only scared people. As he was leaving the train, he saw a man holding a gun that was about to shoot. With swift reflexes, he bound the man's hands together and brought him outside.

"Nice work." M'gann commented. "Two trains derailing though is too much of a coincidence though. Oh and I'm Miss Martian, Martian Manhunter's niece." 

"Ok then well I'm Deimos the yellow lantern." the Yellow Lantern introduced himself to M'gann as he threw the bag down and grabbed the man in a neck brace construct.


She committed the name to memory but did not intervene as she watched Deimos interrogate the bomber.

"Ok I'm guessing you know about why the trains were derailing right? So tell me what's going on and I won't cripple you temporally." The man only spat on his helmet in resonce too this. Deimos sighed at the man's response. "Ok then your call."



Deimos grabbed the bag and binded it to the man's back. Deimos slowly pulled the cord more and more to scare the man.
But had M'gann not sensed that he was only meaning to scare him, if he was really intending on killing him or doing serious bodily harm the young Martian would have been forced to intervene. As it was though, Deimos' method seemed to have worked on the man.


"STOP." He screamed at the Lantern and so he did while waiting for answers. "The trains are derailing because we rigged them to for every train if the demands weren't met."



"So where are the people you working for at?"



"A abandon where house outside of town."

With a grin M'gann closed her eyes and touched her temples as she dug into the man's mind to learn exactly where they were exactly. "I know exactly where they are. And we don't have much time." she said to Deimos. "Leave him with the police officers." she said motioning to the bomber. "They can deal with him. Right now we gotta go stop the one controlling the trains from the source."

Stopping to inform the police of what the man confessed, and then turned to Deimos one last time. "You coming?"

With that M'gann took to flight and if Deimos followed would lead him as well to where the others were holed up in the warehouse the man mentioned earlier.

It didn't take long for them to get to the warehouse, M'gann pointing the one out based on the information she gleaned from looking into the mind of the one bomber.


"That's the one." M'gann pointed out to Deimos. Using her newly developed Martian vision she could see through the walls of the building and her heightened hearing 'switched on' caused her to hear the commotion inside as the ones in the warehouse started freaking out about Deimos and M'gann who were just outside. While the others frantically talked and tried to figure something out one of the men got into a mech suit and when outside to confront the heroes. When their boss left to deal with the 'heroes' outside their hideaway, the other guys took the hostages to another room.


"They're taking the hostages to another room." M'gann informed. "And they're sending out their big gun."


It was at that time that the large mech like suit showed up and then stood towering over them causing the young Martian to sport a bit of an amused smirk. "Kinda reminds me of the Big Daddy suit from Bioshock...kinda." m'gann chuckled .

Deimos only gave out a long sigh at M'gann's observation. His sigh got even longer and he even started spinning in the air while on his back. After a solid minute of this he instantly shot up and turned to Miss Martian

"Ok let's make this quick I got homework to do because my biology teacher is a jackass so take care of the hostages and I'll handle this guy over here." As he was saying this he changed his voice with a voice changer to a deep demonic voice. After that he made two M16 constructs and flew down to start shooting at the mech.


He was strange. the young Martian thought. for a guy in such a hurry he sure wasted a lot of time sighing and twirling in mid air, the young Martian mused and couldn't help but chuckle as the guy left. Her mind reached out to hone in on the hostages which wasn't difficult to sense their fear and thoughts. So she flew towards the place cloaked in her invisibility and phased through the walls til she reached the area the hostages were being held.

Using her mind she reached out telekinetically and slammed the guards into one another hard and fast. The collision and sudden force knocking them out before the Martian made herself materialized. Their bodies dropped to a heap and M'gann used her telepathy to make sure the downed men were asleep, knocking unconscious any that weren't already down for the count.

Turning to the hostages the young girl smiled. "Everything's going to be alright. I'm here to get you out of here." with that she freed the hostages from their bindings and then lead them out of the building towards safety.

As M'gann led the now freed hostages to safety she looked back to notice that Deimos was holding his own against that large mech. He certainly didn't look like he needed her help so she concentrated on getting the others to safety. The loud sounds of mech hitting construct and vice versa could be heard. As she got the people out to safety and across the street. M'gann saw the briefest of glimpses as Deimos phased through the mech and grabbed the guy operating it. M'gann had thought with the pilot of the mech in his hand that was the end, that was the time he would subdue him and send him along with the authorities.

With that Deimos threw a giant hole in it to leave with the man in his grasp. He threw the man to the ground, but the man got on his feet to make a run for it. This didn't go so well as D shot him in the legs with a desert eagle construct. It was a tad excessive in M'gann's eyes but she wasn't about to be making comments. The hostages were now safe and it seemed Deimos had taken care of his danger. They could now get back to what they were doing before the run away trains started and if M'gann remembered correctly that would be the boy's homework or something to that effect that he mentioned earlier that needed for him to get done. So at least he could get back to that now.

She had made sure to get the hostages well and away from the fighting going on further out. Deimos looked like he had things handled so m'gann had opted to stay with the hostages to keep them calm and make sure none of them were injured. Thankfully none were other than the shock of being captured and held hostage. Sirens sounded as it seemed someone in the neighborhood called 911. Emergency vehicles came at the ready and helped those that needed it. 

M'gann took her leave of the officers and the emergency response personnel telling them what she knew and helping them as best she could. She even used some of her telepathy to ease some of the anxiety from others. It wasn't till the fighting out there stopped that M'gann moved towards Deimos to see how he was fairing only to see him walk over to the man he took down and put his foot down with a great amount of weight as he heard him scream. M'gann was about to step forward and put a stop to it but Deimos had stopped on his own accord. The cops came by to take the criminal away along with every hired gun in the place. Then Deimos approached her.


"How'd it go?" he asked 

"Was that really necessary stepping on that man and causing him pain like that?" M'gann asked not even bothering to answer how it went with the hostages. It was easy enough to see behind her that they were all fine and starting to be ushered into a van with the officers ready to be taken back to their respective homes.
