"It's hard to tell who has your back, from who has it long enough just to stab you in it..."

"Good GAWD!" Obsidian said from where she lay impatiently with her head covered tightly by her hood, "He's taking forever!"
"MasterLock," I asked, "you think he's dead?"
"I think we should leave..." she said darkly.
"Why did the Baron put you in charge anyway AllFall?" Obsidian asked disdain filling her voice.
"I don't know Obsidian."
Then a door slapped open and we sat up with a start, and the Headsman was coming our way. He was caked in blood...
And ice...
"Supers." Obsidian said as she shot up to his aide.
Me and MasterLock grabbed our M4A1's with grenade-launchers and then we all stopped...
ThrustSliding through the door was an Angel...
"Go!" The Headsman screamed and MasterLock went to turn on the train. Obsidian was waiting at the door and threw up a wall of darkness to block the Angels' approach...
Out of instinct...
I raised my gun and just as the Angel teleported through her shield I knocked the Angel down with a shot to the head...
It didn't even penetrate but Obsidian turned her head in shock and summoned a shield in the woman's guts and expanded it before retreating to the train. The train was picking up speed before the Headsman could get there but he transformed his arm into a basic tentacle and grabbed onto the train as it sped onward to the rendezvous with the Baron.
"Angels?!" MasterLock said, incredulous.
The Headsman dragged himself in at this point and tried to say as if to impress us,
"Was THAT a test?"
"Call. The. Baron." Obsidian said and before I went in a separate car, "Thanks AllFall."

The Baron

I had the phone in my hand as AllFall called me...
Just as the representative of the Wo Shing Wo came into the deserted street with two bodyguards...
I put my phone on 'do not disturb' mode...
"Good evening," I said with a bow, he regarded me with the classic mafia deadpan look saying 'cut to the chase', "What do you want? You know that the Wo Shing Wo values it's time, American."
"Very well," I said, "you are aware that I didn't want money for the job today. I want a favor..."
His deadpan facial expression didn't even twitch, "The Wo Shing Wo helps its friends if there is benefits to be had." He stepped closer to me, "I don't remember when you became a friend."
Instead of screaming, "DIE DISRESPECTFUL FOOL!" I simply nodded and kept a diplomatic silence,
"I can guarantee the Wo Shing Wo won't go without compensation of some kind. But may your guards step out of earshot as I explain my plans?"
He stared at me for a full minute or so before waving the guards back with his hand and they stepped out. "So," he said, "what is your evil plan?"
I told him the plan and after it he stood in place with a worried fear about him. A long silence preceded,
"Insanity American. You will fail and die. No."
"Sir," I pleaded, "just make a phone call."
"No! The Wo Shing Wo would never-ever agree to this!"
I set my feet in determined steel, and said,
"Twenty million."
He did a double check, "For what?"
"The start to terms in the phone call you're going to make."
"The answer is no."
"Fifty." I said coldly but he shouted at me,
"THE ANSWER IS-"
"ONE HUNDRED!" I shouted over him.
He blinked for a moment,
"One-hundred million American dollars will be given to the Wo Shing Wo if you make that phone call."
He shook his head and grit out,
"You force my hand American; you force my hand." Then he dug around for his phone.

"Did you call him!?" Obsidian asked.
I cursed, "He's got his phone on silent!"
"Um, guys..." Headsman said with apparent panic in his voice.
We walked over to the window and we saw several white clad soldiers...
Sliding on the rails toward us...
"Get back!"
Several of them were heavies and began opening up the train with mini guns. MasterLock launched a grenade at them but they had a forcefield as well. I launched on at the rails but they simply ThrustJumped over the damage usual Angelic flare...
I cursed...
"Get behind me!" Headsman said as he transformed his arms into a large metal-like shield.
We began backing up but I saw another Angel that likely teleported into the train but he was just outside the car trying to disconnect the car we were on. Obsidian was already there...
She opened the door and he gave her a deer-in-the-headlights kind of look...
Then she opened him from the inside out sending him gruesomely under the train. She waved us inside and I was the last,
"What do you think we should do?" She shouted over the train.
"Disconnect the car and abandon the train; they likely hacked into the subway and will take this train where they want it."
"Okay," then she made an orb that cut the car from the next and sent it crashing in the tunnels, "and-oh," she said with the first smile I saw on her all day-
An evil one,
"I forgot to thank you for humiliating me at dinner the other day," then she used a dark pulse that sent me flying from the train, "OOPS!"
