«We Could be Heroes»

Dryden's eyes were red again as he looked at Sammy. "What do you want an answer to?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Ash came up beside Sammy and set an unusually fierce glare on Dryden. "Everything," she muttered, her eyes hardening into narrowing slits. Her voice trembled- but for once not with apprehension. "Why over thirty people have died in order for us just to get to our destination; why there's this perpetual aura of secrecy around this so-called mission that hasn't even proved itself to be genuine; why we're being led by people with questionable morals when we're no more than teens ourselves; even why you've not even offered to let us contact those we left behind in our rush to board a private train of some eccentric old millionare or something." And now you're going to get yourself killed. Great job, Ash.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his dark hair. His eyes seemed to be glowing now. He turned his head quickly to the right and lasers shot out and burned a large tree down, it fell towards them, and he simply pushed it away with his hand. It landed 50 feet from them. He looked back at Sammy and Ash. "People died because they were against us doing our job. I don't know about the secrecy. Because me and no-name aren't scared to kill, that's what Firestein wants. You've never asked to contact people. If you want to, here." he handed Ash a iPhone 8. Similar to his, only it was rose gold and his was black (obviously). "Knock yourself out, though if anyone cries, you will end up like that tree." he pulled his own phone out and started to play Candy Crush again.
 
River threw herself forward and landed with a thud, panting "Okay. Never. Want. that. To. Happen. Again." She glanced at him "Thanks. And I`m glad your okay." She said.
Blood seeped through her pant leg.

Rex dropped it, panting. He nodded. "Glad your -mostly- okay too." He said.
 
"Telekinesis, huh? Awesome." Chase said. He snapped a few twigs that had snagged her clothing. "I, uh... don't have any cool stuff. Accept for hiding. I'm pretty good at that."
 
No-name rolled her eyes as Dryden pushed the tree over. He was such a show-off. And a horrible manipulator. "He doesn't want people who can kill. That's just your theory." She said to Dryden. Then she eyed the firey girl, now busy with her phone. "He just wants us to take orders, that's all. But you're right about... us." She waved a hand between her and the cyborg boy. "We'd make terrible cub scout leaders."

"Oh," Mikki replied. He didn't seem threatening. She finally twisted free and floated them back down to the ground. "I know you probably won't answer this, but why are you hiding? You're not like a criminal or something, right?" He doesn't seem like he'd be a criminal, she thought.

"Yeah, I'd end up frying some poor kids face. Or being used to toast their marshmallows.." Dryden said, deep in thought.

Sammy looked at Ash gratefully. She knew that she would have never been able to word it that well. "Ya. What she said." Sammy said, fires beginning to form in her hands as Dryden's eyes began to glow.
He sighed and ran his fingers through his dark hair. His eyes seemed to be glowing now.

"Y-you say you don't do secrecy, but even your name is secret." Sammy growled, looking at No-name. She turned to Dryden. "I really don't understand how you're not in jail. I mean, you just randomly kill people. I-I'm not gonna work with someone like that." Her voice trembled, even as the flames in her hands grew brighter. Her eyes were riveted on Dryden, waiting for his next move.
