«We Could be Heroes»

Crow looked up, seeing Jayne put himself between Thomas and Firestein. Jayne, someone he had once trusted, someone who had spared Crow's life, barely even looked at the motionless figure of Gage. Instead, he chose to protect the monster who had done this to Gage, someone who killed others just because they were different. Crow narrowed his eyes, then shot into the air, diving down to land in front of the exit that Jayne had come in from, right behind Firestein. He transformed, his already dark eyes even darker with fury. "He isn't going anywhere," he growled.

Jayne shot a worried glance over at Crow. What could he do if his gun wouldn't work? The only other weapon he had was a grenade and that was over kill the majority of these kids had already stopped fighting, even the wolf girl who seemed to enjoy killing had stopped. Jayne reached into his pocket and started hard at Thomas. "Take care of your friend." He growled. pulling something small out of his pocket closed in his fist. He couldn't let Firestein see what he had. "Crow boy, move away from the door. Now." He didn't break his eyes away from Thomas.

His eyes still on Firestein, Crow reached down and grabbed his sword from where he had stashed it behind a flowerpot. He held it at the ready,

"Get. Out. Of. My. Way. Now." Thomas snarled, his voice was cold and cut like ice, not even River had ever made such a sound, and no one in this room probably had ever made a snarl like that. He did not even caring to stop walking forward, he had a feeling Jayne wasn`t going to hurt him or Crow- at least not too bad, but after what Firestein had just done was he really sure? No, he wasn`t. But he didn`t care.
He wasn`t afraid, he could just shield himself from bullets and whatever Jayne was holding.
The blue light grew stronger, it looked like a blue fire now.
And it probably felt like fire too.
"Move, Jayne. I don`t want to fight you. Don`t make me have to."

Jayne clenched his teeth, how was he going to get out of this one? He wasn't sure what the blue glowing stuff was or what it would do if it touched him. He wasn't sure Thomas knew. He glanced over at Crow again, He looked just as angry as the kid in front of him. Who was the greater threat? Should he try to bluff his way out of this? What ever he did it had to be fast.

"You know he was right." Jayne blurted out. "I do owe him something." He stared hard at Thomas. Would he remember what he was talking about? Maybe Crow would....

"What?" Sammy said, her voice sounding oddly squeaky. She looked back as they ran towards the Sound, hoping Dryden would stay frozen long enough for them to free the inhumans.

Crow stared at Gage in horror. What... what is this? What sort of horrible creature could do such a thing?! He hopped off Rex's shoulder, landing by Gage's side. He pecked at his shirt gently. "Caw??... caw?"
Gabriel smiled: the first outward emotion he had showed this whole time. I'll help you. Just tell me the number the pod, and I'll give you the code. Telepathy should reach to the other side of this field.

(Sorry, but, who is 'him'? Then I can reply.)

Heroes? Gage snickered at the idea, but followed after the guy, anyway. He seemed sure of himself. Which meant he probably knew exactly where Firestein was. Which meant that he might have to-
Then Rex swooped in. "Dragon boy!" He shouted, then glanced over to Jayne. "If we insist?" Gage held up his scorched hand, "Wasn't this insistence enough?" He said, then continued out onto the street.

Then Gage shoulder-checked Rex.. or tried to, since his shoulder only reached the man's upper arm. "You owe me one for that, you know." He said.

(Jayne feels he owes Gage his life since he kept Rex from killing him.)
 
Firestein bristled, wielding another Terra Cotta pot. "Why aren't you attacking?" He screamed at his soldiers. He almost fell over when Jayne leapt in front of him, and felt something rise in his throat at Thomas's growl.
Then something happened.
It was as if the feeling of the whole room had changed. Clang, clang, clang came the methodical dropping of masks. The men watched him, not in the way they had before. The fear gone from their eyes now.
He was losing control.
"W-what are you doing?" He said over Jayne's shoulder.
The one that Gage had knocked down squared his shoulders, glanced briefly at Gage's body, then held the old man's gaze with stoic intensity.
"Get them!" Firestein screeched.
As his words echoed off the walls, no one moved.
