Chapter 15: Trainman Hunting
A group of people was waiting for the A9 train at the subway station at 68th Street. LM walked down to the station and joined with the group of people. He took out his cell phone and contacted Robin.
LM: Robin, is everyone set for the plan?
Robin: (on the phone) Yeah, we're ready. Are you sure this is going to work?
LM: My team followed the Trainman for some time. I know how he thinks. Don't worry, when you guys see a homeless man running around holding a gun, you know what to do.
LM hung up the phone while at the same time; the train numbered A9 arrived at the station. He looked at his watch that read 7:15 and entered the car. The subway train departed the station and went into the dark tunnel. LM went into car after car looking at business people, teenagers, and parents with kids. He finally found the Trainman napping on the seat of the fifth car.
LM: Trainman!
The Trainman woke up and saw LM walking towards him. He immediately jumped out of the seat, took out his .357 Magnum pistol out of his worn out coat pocket, and pointed it at LM. The civilians on the car panicked and ducked down under the seats.
Trainman: You again? How many times do I have to tell you punks to leave me alone?
LM: I'm only here to talk.
Trainman: Talk? I had it up to here with you pests. You should understand that I'm only here to do one thing and one thing only, my job.
LM: And does this job include stealing illegal equipment from 01?
Trainman: Oh, now I see. You're here to stop my boss's plan. Well I got news for you pal; you'll never succeed.
LM: I will as soon as you answer me some questions.
Trainman: I'm not telling you anything.
The Trainman pulls the emergency brake lever and the train made an abrupt stop at another station. He opened the automatic doors and exited the train. LM quickly followed the Trainman and pulled out his cell phone to contact the Titans.
LM: All right Titans, the Trainman's on the lose. When you see him, you know what to do.
LM put his cell phone away and took out his pistol. He followed the Trainman up the stairs to the main halls of the subway. The Trainman started to take shoots from his pistol, but LM took cover at a corner wall. The Trainman headed into a four-way tunnel intersection until four star bolts came out of one tunnel and four birderangs came out from the second. The Trainman ducked down and headed to the third tunnel while LM followed him down the tunnel. He shot out three bullets out of his pistol just to try to slow the Trainman down. The Trainman shot out a couple of more bullets out of his pistol but LM flipped over and avoided the bullets. The Trainman kept on running, took out a box of bullets, and reloaded his pistol. He enters a "fork in the road" hallway, one leading to long narrow hallway, the other leading to another. A sonic laser came from one end of the hallway, but the Trainman ducked down again and headed to the other direction. LM followed the Trainman to that direction and was chasing him down the hallway, which leads to another station. The Trainman was about to reach the end of the hall but ceiling started to collapse, blocking his path. The Trainman then took an abrupt turn and took the stairs down to the station. LM continued to follow the Trainman down the steps and into the station. They continued running until the Trainman pointed his gun at LM. LM hid behind the pillar and start shooting out more bullets from his pistol. They did their hide and shot game until they heard a subway car coming down a dark tunnel. The Trainman felt pleased about this, but LM knew what he's going to do. LM came out of the pillar but the Trainman continued shooting. LM went back to his pillar while the Trainman started running. LM jumped out of the pillar and tried to stop him, but the Trainman jumped off the platform seconds before the train passed and landed on the other platform. Then the train left, the Trainman was nowhere to be found. LM took out his cell phone and called Raven.
LM: Raven, the Trainman is heading your way. Be ready for him. I'm going to contact the others and we'll join you from there.
Heading back to the Trainman, he entered an old abandon station, which hadn't been used for a long time. The Trainman walked close of the edge of the platform. He removed his sleeve and looked at the number of watches on his arm. When one of the watches hit 7:25, a loud noise came from one end of the dark tunnel.
The Trainman: Right on time.
A subway train come out of the tunnel and slowly stopped. The train had a bright silver casing on the outside while the inside had with white floors, seats, walls, and ceiling. There is a brightly-lit sign that read "Mobl Ave" on each car. As the automatic doors opened, the Trainman begins walking towards one of the doors. When he walked up to the edge, something stopped him in his tracks. He couldn't even move a muscle until he looked down and saw his body enwrapped itself in a black aurora. The Trainman got scared and tried to worm his way out of it but he had no luck what so ever. He felt himself being levitated off the ground. Then with force, he flew out of the car, and got hit hard on the subway wall. Having his brain rattled, the Trainman shook it off and saw a teenage girl holding her right hand covered in the same dark aurora as the Trainman's body. She had pale gray skin, short purple hair, eyes glowing white underneath her sunglasses, and a jewel on her forehead.
Trainman: Who in the hell are you?
Raven: Your worst nightmare.
All of a sudden, something bright came from both sides of his head. The Trainman looked at the left, he saw a girl a year older then the pale girl with orange skin, bright red hair, and eyes glowing green underneath her sunglasses. Her fist formed a glowing green ball of energy aiming at his side. He immediately looked at the other side; it was an African American male at the age of 20. Half of his face is made of machinery with a glowing red eye underneath his sunglasses and an arm that looks like some sort of a cannon that's glowing light blue. The Trainman looked in front and saw three more figures standing behind Raven. One is a young male with spiky hair and had a mask over his eyes; one is another male with green skin, hair, and eyes, and one female with long blonde hair.
Trainman: Is it a little early for Halloween kiddies?
LM: Those aren't costumes Trainman, those are the real deal.
LM came in from the right, took out his pistol, and aimed it at the Trainman's forehead.
Trainman: You. You set this up the whole time you chased me?
LM: Let's just say I know how you think my friend.
Trainman: And who are these people? Rookies, programs, freaks that escaped from the circus?
LM: Surely you don't know about the Teen Titans now.
Trainman: The Teen Titans? The same Teen Titans that protects Jump City? They look different in those outfits.
Robin: Don't remind us. (pointed at LM) We have to wear these is because he forced us to.
LM: (looking at Robin) I don't want you guys to stick out like a sore thumb. (looking back at the Trainman) Now that we caught you Trainman, it's time for you to answer some questions. What do you know about the relationship between your boss and Slade?
Trainman: Like I said before, I'm not telling you anything. I'm getting sick and tired of you people coming to me for some answers. I'm only here to do my job, transporting programs and equipment. I'm not here to play a game of Twenty Questions.
LM: Trainman, you got Starfire holding a star bolt at one side of your head, Cyborg holding a Sonic Blaster at the other side, and yours truly holding a pistol to your forehead. Either you answer me the question or there's going to be a major mess at the station. Either way, I win.
The Trainman thought this over for a second and gave LM the answer.
Trainman: All right fine, I'll tell you. Two months ago, I got a call from the Merovingian that he wants equipment from 01. He gave me the blueprint, the list, everything I need to get what he wants. He didn't tell me anything that he's working with someone, not even Slade.
LM: When did your boss tell you to steal illegal equipment?
Trainman: I believe that he talked to me on March 15th.
Cyborg: Hey Robin, isn't that the same day when Slade was about to bury the city in lava?
Robin: Yeah Cy, sounds like it.
Trainman: O.K. I told you everything I know. Now will please let me go?
LM: Not until you tell me where is Merovingian.
Trainman: If I tell you, I'll be a dead man.
LM: You're going to be dead if you don't tell me.
Trainman: All right, all right, all right. He's going to be in Hell's Pit, a club for punks and Goths. He's scheduled to have a meeting with a number of gangs, assassins, and pure psychos. NOW LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!
LM slowly put his pistol away into his trench coat.
LM: Starfire, Cyborg, drop em'. Raven, let the Trainman go.
Starfire and Cyborg dropped their powers as Raven levitated the Trainman down to the ground. LM then grabbed both hands of the Trainman's jacket and holds him tight.
LM: Now listen, and listen well Trainman. I want you to deliver a message to the Frenchman. Tell him that his time is up. Tell him that his dream will go up in smoke. Tell him that LM and the Teen Titans are going to whoop his French ASS!
With that said, LM tossed the Trainman to the opened door of the train. Four of the Titans ducked down as the Trainman flew upside down, entered the subway car, and got hit hard on the closed door inside of the car. The automatic door closes and left the abandon station into another dark tunnel.
Beast Boy: Uh dude, you know you just let him get away.
LM: He's not the target. The real target is Merovingian. We have to go to Hell's Pit right away.
Robin: Do you even know where's Hell's Pit?
LM: Not yet.
LM took his cell phone out and called Kid.
Kid: (on the phone) Operator.
LM: Kid, I need the location of a club called Hell's Pit.
Meanwhile, in a dark, cold, machine working area underneath the surface, Slade was sitting on a stone throne. Next to him are the top four members of the H.I.V.E. The first member is Gizmo, a short bald genius with a metallic backpack with a big G on his back. The teenage girl with the light purple hair that looks like two horns is Jinx. Wherever she goes, she brings bad luck to the innocent. Mammoth is a bio engineered monster which he can lift and destroy everything in his path. And the final member is a new comer named Blackfire. She's Starfire's big sister (two years older to be exact) and she has the same power and strength as her little sister. All of them were staring down at two people who looked exactly alike. They wore the same white suits, the same pale complexion, and the same white long dreadlocks. They were Merovingian's top assassins. They are called the Twins.
Slade: So, you two work for Merovingian.
Twin 1: Yes, we worked for our master for a long time. He gives us the enemy to fight, and we defeat them.
Slade: I see. Well I have problems with a group of teenagers. They have special gifts. I don't know if you're ready to handle them.
Twin 2: We're ready for them. If you don't believe us, then try and destroy us.
Slade: What?
Twin 1: Kill us, put bullet hole through us, blow us to bits, use anything that can take us down.
Twin 2: Hit us with your best shot.
Slade: Gizmo, Blackfire, target the ceiling above the Twins heads.
Blackfire: You're kidding right?
Slade: Fire at the ceiling!
Gizmo took out his game controller which is connected to his backpack, pushed some buttons, and out came two mini rockets which hold lots of powerful explosive. Blackfire's eyes glows purple and both her hands had balls of purple energy. Both of them fired at the ceiling filled with concrete and moving gears. The explosions caused the whole ceiling to fall on the Twins. The falling concrete and damaged gears crashed down into the ground, crushing the Twins on impact. When the smoke cleared, they see a mountain of debris, not the Twins.
Jinx: Well that was a waist of both time and help.
Gizmo: Hey, Slade told us to blast the ceiling.
Just then, two ghosts like figures with wavy hair phased out of the debris.
Gizmo: What the crud?!
When the ghosts got out of the debris, they morphed into the Twins that were underneath the rubble. All the H.I.V.E. members stared in amazement while Slade looked at them at pure wonder.
Slade: Impressive. So you're invulnerable to harm?
Twin 1: We don't like to boast, but yes. Anyone who takes a shot would get nothing but air.
Twin 2: There is also another gift that our master thinks you need.
The second Twin took out a remote and flipped a switch. The lights got turned on and out stood three huge robots with big submachine guns attached to their metallic hands. Slade looked at them and was filled with pure delight.
Slade: Interesting, very interesting.
