Before Tehya coiuld respond to Connor's query- she really did seem to be making sure that she didn't collapse, as Jensen had collapsed- Elias came and stood beside her, eyes accusatory, hand no longer cradled in pain.
"She's fine. Who are you? First the woman,"
- his hand pointed to the scene of the attempted rape- "Now this,"
nodding to the knife and fire extinguisher. "Find yourself some sort of hero, or something?"
Connor looked at the man for a moment, filled with contempt for this punk kid. His face grew hard, eyes glaring. "Let me tell you something. When a woman is about to be raped, you don't just stand around and let it happen. It's not called being a hero. It's called being a man."
The train was coming now, slowing down, warm wind stirring the air. This time he could see a couple faces in the windows, ready to disembark.
Connor went on. "And in case you didn't notice, I drove that creature off. It would have killed all of us. It's called an...."
- he fumbled to remember the full name- "Ijiq or something like that. I've seen them before. They suck the life out of you. And freezing it and cutting its head off is the only way I know to stop it."
He stepped forward. "So maybe you just back off before we have a problem."
The train came to a stop and the doors whooshed open, spilling out a handful of passengers.
