"You heard the man, let's get out of here!"

"And miss seeing [i]Thor[/i] and other new heroes in action?! No way, José! We're going to get in close. Keep that camera rolling!" Then she dove through the storm to get even closer to the action while her poor cameraman swallowed back the urge to hurtle.

[hr]

J'onn looked up at the raincloud than back at Thor. [color=green]"Keeping that storm up will help us very greatly. Keeping the flames down would greatly help, especially if it's doing anything to help with the Fire Trolls-" [/color]

Then the pylons buckled. The train started to fall.

[color=green]"The Train!"[/color] He then flew forward, trying to brace his telekinesis to at least slow the fall when he suddenly heard words, of some sort, in his head.

[color=violet][b][i]Llafwols![/i][/b][/color]

The train then began to slow of it's own accord, startling the Martian greatly. [color=green]"What in the Moons?!"[/color]

Then out of the corner of his eye, he noted nearby Fire Trolls heading for the train, and one right below where the train was falling. His eyes widened, and he started to telekinetically grip the train again, seeking to at least push the train out of the Fire Troll's path. Only to again be surprised as someone leapt through a window and free falling down straight toward the hulking beast. 

[color=limegreen][h3]"GET SENDY!"[/h3][/color] Then the boy's punch sent the troll [i]bouncing[/i] back.

J'onn's jaw dropped. That wasn't a standard human punch. Then he flew down, following the train and the boy as they landed.

[color=violet][b][i]Hsiugnitxe![/i][/b][/color] echoed in his mind, but this time, he was close enough to see the boy who was the source slump in exhaustion and the nearby flames extinguish themselves [s]much to J'onn's relief.[/s] 

Then very much too tunnel-focused to notice the stir he was making nor what all else was happening, he flew straight towards the boys and their guardian. [color=green]"Are any of you injured? Or, otherwise in need of assistance?"[/color]

"More space activity near our atmosphere." One green Martian squinted at the astronomic radar system monitor. "Seems to have continued onto Ja'soom. However, it could always change."

Another in dress yellows saluted to the man in charge. "Shall we send out the Martian Maiden, Chief Scientist?"

[color=teal]"Not yet..."[/color] The thin, tall man glided over by the radar and looked through the results himself. [color=teal]"If they have no reason to attack us yet, there's no need to draw their attention to us.[/color]

"But Comrade, Sir, if they do suddenly change their mind-"

[color=teal]"Do you doubt my authority?"[/color] He suddenly loomed over the man, his tone perfectly level.

"No-No, sir."

A slight grin crossed his face. [color=teal]"I am relieved to hear that, for your sake."[/color] Then he turned back to the monitor. [color=teal]"Our radar will provide enough warning if the fighting should come here, both technological and telepathic. Simply maintain readiness in case the worst should happen. Only then will our Maiden be called."[/color]

"Yes sir!" Then he saluted again and left the room speedily.

The Chief Scientist allowed himself another grin, then went back to perfect stoic-ness. [color=teal]"Keep up your surveillance. Notify me if you see any changes."[/color]

"Yes sir." And the man focused more on his work.

Malefic then shook his head and sighed. If those rebels hadn't stolen their prototype spacecraft-There was no use dwelling on the past though, only the now. And the now was as good a chance to return to his experiments as any. Whatever the Maiden might entangle herself with between now and any potential space attack wouldn't be something she couldn't leave for such an emergency.

The TV screen kept up the news story of the Fire Troll attack, darting between the various heroes. But the only ones she was interested in were the Martian Manhunter and the one known as Thor, who'd summoned the thunderstorm and talked directly to him.

"Fascinating..." She causally picked up her puppet's phone, typing in Thor's name, then quickly scrolling through until she found what there was about the modern day hero. Which then revealed another interesting news story, a press conference with a man named Lionel Luthor, offering an $1000 reward for information on Thor.

"Most Interesting..."
