Snippet #1607474

"So who's side are you really on anyway?" A voice called out. Nikolas looked over and narrowed his eyes. It was the guy, John, from earlier. First of all, what the hell was he doing here? Secondly, was he trying to get Nikolas killed? Glancing at Katie, Nikolas hobbled forward to John with the intentions of blowing him into little pieces... Or the ground next to him, at any rate. But he paused, thinking. Rei needed time to get Cyrus, but certainly he had grabbed the Fang by now. And Rei could handle himself against Taser, if just long enough for Nikolas to get there and help kick butt... As for Katie, Nikolas was fifty/fifty on his chances of beating his 'fellow' Thorn. She was strong, but he was hoping she'd hesitate to kill him. Nikolas wasn't about to hold himself back.

"Well, now that you ask me about it..." Nikolas trailed off, pretending to think while really trying to remember what was behind him. Besides the shopping cart, of course. Something told him to keep that in tact. "Well, you could say I'm with Taser. But I prefer to say I'm currently working with Rei towards a common goal; getting our asses out of Timeless." With that, Nikolas spun around and blew up the base to a streetlamp. It started falling towards Katie, but he didn't stop there. He blew a fire hydrant that, if it had any water in it, would have been more use. Instead it just created a loud bang as the top blew off and then fell to the ground.

Running towards John, Nikolas prayed the Shank (well, was he a Shank or not?) wouldn't try to kill him. To help a little, he called out, "come on, let's get going before she catches up!" At him. Tripping a little on the rough ground, Nikolas looked behind him and blew a few of the fire escape stairs, the rusted metal coming down with a crash. Hopefully it would take Katie a while to get through, but Nikolas was wondering if she'd just head to Taser and tip him off about Rei. Hopefully Nikolas could get there in time to help the Fang out...
