DARK AVENGERS HERE.

It didn't take long to get Invincible on the wire once Norman was alerted that the plan was moving forward -- he didn't need the whole Avengers team for this one, but someone who could fly was necessary to get there efficiently. And strong, to actually stop the trains from colliding.

At 5:46 he flew down into a subway tunnel, helmet reeling off coordinates and displaying glowing green maps of the inner infrastructure of the subway lines, dots alerting him of exactly where the trains in question were.

"This way, we're almost there!" He called to Mark, voice mechanized from his armor.

[Sorry for being so late!]

Mark did follow closely behind, waiting for the Iron Patriot to have a plan ready by the time they got there. He exhaled quickly, trying to control his coordination--it seemed the more he used his powers, the more they increased, the more control he needed to learn to use them--until he heard those last words. He had to talk loudly; their speed and the wind currents made it harder to distinguish what they said.

"How much time do we have?"

(It's okay! I gave you short notice. :()

"I can't say for sure. I think that--" Although Norman knew the timetables for the accident, he had to maneuver as if they were functioning almost blindly. He took a sharp turn, and accelerated.

"... Right up ahead. I can hear them. We aren't too late, but it'll be close."

[whoajeezwhat]

"Alright!" Mark had to yell once again, flying as close as he could to the Iron Patriot without getting in his way. They were pretty tight on space, considering the difference between open skies and a subway tunnel. "How do we stop them?" It wasn't as much of an actual question as it was an attempt to get confirmation on what would have been his plan--one man to stop each train.

[osreborn]

"We'll each take one and stop it ourselves. I can't see another way around it, beyond overriding the controls. Which isn't feasible at the moment."

Norman veered to the side a bit, giving Invincible space. Eddie communicated to him remotely, alerting him that soon there'd be a civilian on the tracks -- Norman would have to catch her, so the notice was helpful. He sped up and then they were there, the subways sounding their approach in the not-too-far-off distance.
