How the West Was Won
A bright sun in a dull blue sky baked the earth below despite it being late October. The air didn't hold any moisture and dust was stirred up by the wind. The terrain was mostly flat and sparse of vegetation and about a mile west lay a silver-mining boomtown called Tombstone.

There was a bright flash of light about a mile outside of the town. Six very strangely dressed individuals and one white horse with wings suddenly appeared.

	"No chance. I'll let the kid go when we're safely out of town. You... already took one shot and kept coming. That doesn't make for a good hostage. Now tell your friends to stand down and stay where I can see 'em." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique nodded a little as she shrunk down, slipped to the air vents of the platform. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Eli reaches out with his mind to the frightened child, trying to soothe him a bit.

I know you are scared, but I need your help, Little One. I will get you away from the bad man, but I need you to tell me when you are ready. You cannot see my hand, but I am very close to you. When you feel my hand touch your hand, blink three times and I can take you away from him.

As Eli speaks to the child mentally, he extends his telekinetic reach to touch the boy upon the hand, as well as to envelop each of the school children not far away.

The little boy's confusion is apparent, but he blinks once, twice, and then tree times.

Suddenly, the boy vanishes from Ringo's grip, as do the schoolchildren and Eli.

	At that same time, Vernique makes a few well placed taser-shots into the circuitry in the hopes of bringing down the platform and its shielding. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"What...!?"

Eli /almost/ discovers why Johnny Ringo was one of the most famed quick draws of his day and age, extraordinary even among super heroes. His finger taps the hair-trigger button, and even with surprise, might well have clipped the kid if the hover platform hadn't suddenly dipped at the same time, throwing his aim upward.

A moment later the disc crashes and Ringo goes rolling, firing into the gathered group as he makes a dash for it.

	Svalin started after him and clenched her jaw at the pain in her leg. She wouldn't be able to catch him. Not with her leg like it was. There was only one chance. She threw her shield at him similar to how Charlie threw his shield. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The guy's not getting away with that gun. Vernique zips her way over and, unless he manages to swat her off, there'll be a tiny taser shot right at his neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The sting makes him stumble, leaving him wide open for the shield, and with that, Johnny Ringo is out cold. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique comes back up to her full size and picks up the gun. She'll get on her skirt and jacket in a minute, but first she runs over to Svalin. "Are you okay? What happened to your leg? I know you wouldn't be using ranged stuff if you could hit the guy..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It ist still sore from being broken and I wast hit in the knee by a shot from that weapon," she said. "It wilt be fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh yes, because previous injuries shot by Kang-tech always turn out fine," Vernique says, worriedly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wilt be fine," she assured Vernique. "Asgardians doth heal faster than mortals. The children art safe. That ist all that matters." Of course her actions endangered them, but that was an issue she would deal with later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, you should still find somewhere to get off of it for a while. I'm going to make sure we have all the guns rounded up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin was going to argue, but she decide against it. Tiny human anger was something she wanted to avoid. She nodded and went go check on Tryggvi and then find a place to get off of her leg. (Reply to this)(Parent)
