Chapter 28-

This is one of the more difficult parts of the movie to adapt to fan fiction for me. It's like you want to make it good and in your own words without sounding lame. But I gave it my best shot.

Megan waited as one of Ra's thugs handcuffed her to the railing on the back of the seat in front of her. "Now stay there," the grim-faced man said, snapping the cuffs with finality.

"Not funny. Where do you think I'm gonna go?" Megan said to the man's departing back and attempting to sit down. The handcuffs were too tight and Megan had to jiggle her wrists to relieve the pain.

Megan watched as the thugs loaded the machine onto the train, followed by Ra's.

"I guess now you're ready to take your revenge, right?" Megan asked glumly as Ra's thugs left the train.

"Yes. You don't sound happy though," Ra's said, removing his breath mask.

"Should I be? You're going to destroy my other home, like you did the first, and kill every person I care about. What's worse is that you're making me watch. My dad will try to stop you, though," Megan said, her brown eyes fierce with anger. She wished she had something better to say that her father trying to stop Ra's. That line sounded lame, even to her.

"I thought you were asking questions about your father," Ra's asked surprised.

"I am, but right now I'm proud that he can stand up to you. As Batman I think he's great and I love him despite his faults," Megan said, shifting again to relieve the tension on her wrists from the handcuffs.

Ra's had nothing to say to that as he started the train. It seemed as if the train was moving awfully fast. Seeing Wayne Tower in the distance, getting closer every second, filled her with dread instead of the excitement she normally felt over seeing the company her grandfather started.

Megan closed her eyes as something dark crashed through the window next to her, sending shards of glass everywhere. The figure straightened up to reveal the angry face of her father. "Dad!" Megan exclaimed, trying to free herself from the cuffs again.

Bruce jumped up, grabbing the passenger holds and like climbing monkey bars at school, went towards Ra's.

"You will never learn," Ra's whispered, slightly shocked at seeing Bruce.

Ra's pulled out a sword and lunged. Megan pulled herself out of the aisle, trying to get loose without getting hit by the sword. Megan then thought of her hairpins that was holding her hair back from her face. Lowering her head slightly she grabbed a thick handful of her dark hair, searching for the hairpins.

Finding one, she put it between her teeth and proceeded to pick the lock. With a click the cuffs fell away, freeing her bruised wrists. While Bruce was fighting Ra's was distracted. She could make her way to the console and attempt to stop the train.

"Familiar. Don't you have anything new?" Ra's asked angrily, getting Megan's attention. Her father's back was turned to her, but enough to hide her from Ra's view.

"How about this?" Her father asked, deflecting Ra's sword and delivering a sharp kick to Ra's chest.

Bruce turned to Megan who stood in the area, trying with little success to shut down the train. It didn't help that the console was alien to her. Giving up, Megan moved slightly so he could stop the train. Unfortunately Ra's recovered from her father's kick quickly.

"Daddy, behind you!" Megan screamed belatedly, as Ra's grabbed Bruce and plunged his sword into the console, making it impossible to stop the train.

Bruce and Ra's continued their fight, Megan making sure to stay out of the way.

Bruce felt his energy give out for a moment as Ra's thrust his head through a window. Seeing Megan standing there, a look of panic on her face, gave him a second energy.

Bruce threw Ra's across the train, hitting him in the face. Unfortunately Bruce used up too much energy. Ra's managed to knock him down and grab him by his cowl. "Don't be afraid, Bruce. You're just an ordinary man in a cape," Ra's said, mocking him this time.

"Dad, don't believe him. You're special to me and the people of Gotham. You're my dad and I love you," Megan's voice came to him, sounding exactly like her grandfather's. That's the way he would have talked.

"What does your daughter know? You're ordinary. That's why you couldn't fight injustice, that's why you can't stop this train," Ra's said, his eyes full of hate.

"Who said anything about stopping it?" Bruce asked. Ra's looked up at the sword he stuck in the console, not even paying attention to anything else. Then again, maybe not. A look of fear then filled Ra's eyes.

"You never learned to mind your surroundings," Bruce said, using the words that Ra's used often on him while Bruce was in training. Bruce spun around, grabbing Ra's by the collar and holding his fist in front of his face.

"Have you finally learned to do what is necessary?" Ra's asked.

"I won't kill you," Bruce said, throwing something at the window. The car in back uncoupled and Bruce stood up. "But I don't have to save you," Bruce said, running towards Megan. Unfurling his cape, he grabbed Megan, holding her tightly as they soared out of the train.

Megan wrapped her arms around his neck just as tightly and squinched her eyes shut. Behind them he heard the train crash with a loud explosion.
