'This is great! Just bloody great!' Erin walked quickly to her destination, an annoyed look on her face. 'There had to be transgenics and it had to be them! And I had to come up with the ridiculous idea of playing rescue party! I'm an idiot! A total prat!' She rounded a corner and spotted her destination- a busy garage filled with mechanics. 'The trip to Normal will have to be cancelled. I'm insane! How am I gonna pull this off?'
Each van of transgenics were waiting for the girl to return, wondering how she was gonna get them all out without being seen. So when 15 minutes later, the transgenics in one of the vans head a sound from beneath them, they too thought she was insane. They all moved back as sparks flew up fro the floor and a large hole was cut in the metal. Slowly, the plate of metal was lowered and moved away to reveal the girl in a pair of goggles. She gestured for them to come with her but then she saw that they were chained together and then to the floor. Removing the goggles she rolled her eyes, sighed and pulled herself up through the hole. Not at all afraid, she pulled out a small black pouch that revealed to be a lock picking set. Quickly, she got to work on one of them. As soon as the blonde woman was released, the girl passed her the kit and disappeared through the hole. With their advanced hearing, they could hear her working on the bottom of the other van. As soon as they were all unchained, they too got silently down through the hole to the barely big enough gap between the van and the floor. That was when they saw the manhole cover. A police car blocked out the bottom of the vans from view of the crowd, and their chanting and yelling easily drowned out the sound of the blow torch.
"I think I saw this in a film once" the blonde whispered with a grin.
The girl was under the other van, and when she glanced across and saw they were out and climbing down into the sewers, she rolled out from under the van straight to under theirs. She grabbed the pouch the blonde was holding and rolled back under the other van in one movement. Then she disappeared into the other van.
A few minutes later, the other transgenics and the girl carrying the blow torch with the goggles around her neck, had also climbed down into the sewers. As soon as the girl had replaced the cover and got down to the floor, she was slammed against a wall by their leader.
"Who are you and why are you helping us?" he demanded, his eyes boring into hers. She said nothing and looked calmly back as if daring him to hurt her.
"Dude, she's a kid who just saved our asses" the male with dark spiky hair put a hand on his arm.
The leader looked at the girl with narrowed eyes before letting her go. As soon as she was released, she rotated her probably bruised shoulders, flicked the leader off, picked up the blow torch she'd dropped and walked away. The transgenics had no choice but to follow, after all, she had said she'd get them into TC.
They walked in silence for only a couple of minutes before the girl stopped at a ladder and climbed up and out to the surface. The transgenics cautiously followed.
They were in an alley totally shielded from the street but not far away from Terminal City, they could still hear the mob yelling. On three sides were boarded up buildings and the other side was the way out of the alley that led into yet another alley that led onto the street.
The girl went to one of the buildings, climbing over rubbish to get to a boarded up door. She pushed the cheap plywood aside easily- she'd obviously been there before. They followed her in. The building was a dump, filled with rubbish and more rubbish. With their advanced hearing, they could hear rats in the walls.
The girl immediately went up the creaky stairs with them following closely behind. In what looked like an old office, the girl stopped by a window and gestured to the leader. He went to see what she was looking at. They were straight across from TC and to their left he could see the crowd of protestors being held back by police.
"This is the west side" the leader spoke quietly.
The girl shrugged and pointed to the fence around Terminal City. There was a gap several hundred yards away from the crowd and it was directly hidden from view by the very vans they'd been held in. The cops were probably trying to lure the others out with them as bait.
"We're still gonna need a distraction" he spoke quietly and the girl grinned and moved away.
She pulled a large bag and a couple of gas canisters from underneath some rubbish. She opened the bad and put the blow torch and goggles into it and pulled out a smaller bag.
"What you got?" the guy with brown hair and pale skin asked. His skin was almost as pale as hers. He caught the bag she threw to him and unzipped it. What he saw inside made him whistle "you are my kind of girl." He pulled out some grenades and examined them.
The woman with black hair and red streaks pulled off the cap of a gas can "Why have you got gas?"
The other dark haired woman spoke "They're gonna need some for whatever power they've got. Probably generators."
They all nodded and the leader spoke "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's move out."
A/N: I know, this was a pathetic chapter but I never said I could actually write this kinda stuff did I? So there! *sticks out tongue*
