JT looked down from the roof of the West Portal Muni tunnel, noting with satisfaction how many zombies he’d managed to lure away playing his version of the Pied Piper.

And wasn’t that a grim story. What happened to all those kids anyway? Did they go to some fantasyland where they’re stay forever young and eat candy all the time or did they end up as food for all those rats?

Oh well, not his problem. What was his problem was backtracking west without this bunch following, which meant some fancy footwork and mega stealth mode. Shouldn’t be a problem, right?

He didn’t want to head back in the direction he’d come because while Ash and Griff were all sorts of bad-ass, they couldn’t move nearly as fast on the ground as he could up above, and the whole point of this exercise had been to clear away some undead meat so they had a chance to put some space between them and the hungry throng.

He scanned the surrounded area. At first glance, West Portal Avenue was a no go, so thickly packed with zombies he doubted he’d get too far even with his unique ability to crowd surf.

He supposed he could hop over the buildings on Ulloa leading to Claremont, but that was heading further east and he didn’t want to get any further off course than he already was.

No, he’d have to risk heading west briefly and then hope to lose his faithful followers with some stealthy rooftop hopping. Or he could stay where he was for a while longer, sing a song or two and insure his teammates had a chance to hoof it to Stern Grove. But if he waited too long, he’d have a hell of time getting anywhere. Too bad the trains weren’t running because—

His gaze sharpened, resting on a series of stalled Muni trains heading out of and into the tunnels on West Portal Boulevard. It looked like they’d been running in both directions when the shit hit the fan. Mostly two cars, but even one rare three car M line stretched out down the street.

The trains were at least 10 feet high so he would be well out of reach of all but zombie basketball players. Even better, there was a train located conveniently beneath the roof of the station, an easy jump for anyone, let alone him.

No one had ever accused him of false modesty.

JT reckoned he could travel south along the tops for several blocks. It would be easier to ninja his way into the neighborhood away from the business district and lose the zoms. The wind had even kicked up, dissipating enough fog to reveal a bloated full moon, which in turn illuminated his path nicely.

He gauged the distance and then jumped, landing on the roof of the train in his best improbable superhero three-point landing, one hand down, feet wide apart in a crouch, one hand on the ground in front of him, the other outstretched behind him. His badass glare was lost on his audience, but dammit, what a wasted photo-op.
