The Warriors - Swan X Reader | Love Is A Fire (Sequel)

Swan X Reader - Part 5 (Nowhere To Run)

"Everybody make it?" Swan asked as get huffed for air. "Just Cleon is missing." Fox responded. "He went to check on Cyrus after the gunshot. It wouldn't surprise me if cops ended up getting him." You added as you panted trying to gain your breath back. "Rembrandt, take a look around." Swan bobbed at you and gave orders just like Cleon would have. "This is a graveyard, the cops have just gone past." Rembrandt sighed since it did sound stupid to look out right now.

"What are we gonna do now?" Cowboy asked and joined in on the re-group as Rembrandt climbed a statue in search of something out there. "We're going back." Swan simply stated. "Yeah, real simple. Except that every cop in the city is looking to bust out heads." Cochise informed the new leader. "We got something else to think about." Swan summed up. "Yeah? What?" Vermin rolled his eyes. "The truce. Is it still on?" Snow answered since no one knew what was truly going on. "Probably not. Fox and I saw that little fuck shoot Cyrus and then he aimed the gun at me once we figured out that it was him. If anything, he's most likely gonna try framing us." You figured out since that did sound like something Luthe would do.

"If that's the case, we're gonna have to bop our way back." Vermin wheezed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Shit. I wish we were packed." Cowboy held in between his eyes with his finger and thumb.

"Take some advice from me. Always be packed." You pulled the hammer back on your gun and had everyone quickly turn their head at you. "What? Where the fuck did you pull that from?" Swan strode up to you as he saw your gun fully loaded in your hand. "You really wanna know?" You raised an eyebrow at Swan.

"I do." Ajax smirked with his tongue out.

"There was one place you forgot to check..." You explained, ignoring Ajax before Swan cut you off. "I didn't check there because I trusted that you would listen to Cleon and respect Cyrus' rules on bringing no weapons!" Swan snapped at you. "You have no right to be pissed off at me right now, Swan! The last time I hid a weapon from you it saved your life and it might just do it again! Only that this time it might save the rest of us!" You ranted on at Swan and gave him a little pushback with a single finger.

"I knew something was gonna go wrong tonight and especially since that little prick showed up! I didn't draw my gun on him when he drew his on me, because I thought of you! I thought of The Warriors! If he has tried to frame us, then we have the defence of my gun not actually being present until we left." You cleverly explained and planned out for that circumstance. "She's got a point, Swan. Just let it go." Cowboy sighed and took your side once again.

"I only got one question. Who named you leader?" Ajax butted in after one problem had been resolved. "Don't fucking start, Ajax!" You groaned and tucked your gun behind your back so it was covered by your Warriors vest. "I got as much right to take over as you." Ajax squared up to you and Swan. "Swan gambled his place as Warcheif with you months ago and you got beaten raw. Give it a rest, Dumbass!" You stepped in front of Swan and defended him as Ajax cracked his knuckles. "So what does this make you then? A lieutenant?" Ajax leaned down to your height with a sarcastic smile. "I've been a lieutenant for this gang longer than you've been in it, Smart Ass." You growled. "Well, shit..." Ajax fakly chuckled.

"I bet you can't even find the subway. I wanna be warlord." Ajax challenged Swan again. "Make your move." Swan gently shoved you behind him and got ready to take on the taller man AGAIN.

"Hey, Ajax, lighten up." Cowboy butted in.

"Big boy, Swan's Warchief." Vermin added in.

"We better stick together." Cochise sighed and lightly pulled Ajax back before he threw a punch.

"If any of us get separated, make it to the platform at Union Square. That's where we change trains." Swan changed the topic giving the plan to everyone. "HEY, GUYS! The train is right over there!" Rembrandt called out pointing out the train on its way to the station. "Let's go." Swan turned around and got moving with the rest of the crew.

The remaining nine of you left the cemetery and headed towards the subway. Besides there being police cars and search parties out for gang related activity in the area, there were also another two problems. Firstly, it began chucking it down and the wind picking up the paste was freezing the lot of you. You, Cowboy and Fox weren't doing too bad since the three of you had an underlayer and buttoned up your vests to conserve your body heat. It was the guys like Swan and Rembrandt you felt sorry for as you could see them shivering. Being shirtless in a sleeveless leather vest must have been torture for them. Then secondly, there was police cars following Turnbull A.C. busses around their territory. Whether they had teamed up to hunt other gangs or not, the lot of you were screwed if you were caught by any of them. Sure the police would probably beat your asses and arrest you if they caught you, but The Turnbulls would probably slaughter the lot of you. They were a heavy bunch of aggressive African-American and Hispanic men with weaponry being anything and everything. Chains, wood with a nail in it, knives, glass bottles. If it could hurt you, they would use it. There wasn't many gangs you could name that had an alliance with The Turnbulls, they didn't like Warriors, Hi-Hats, Boppers, Dingos, Ally Cats or Moonrunners, they loathed almost everyone.

You weren't too far from the station, it was probably a five minute walk up to the platform and it was viewable from your view. Though, right now the nine of you were all stood hiding in the shadows across the street waiting for Swan's order.

"What kind of chicken shit crap is this?" Ajax blurted out. "A train would help, unless you wanna go now and potentially get slashed on an open platform." You rolled your eyes. "The Turnbulls passed us already. We're fine. There's no one on this street." Cochise sighed as he looked down the damp and empty road. "The Turnbulls have three busses, we only saw two a couple of blocks back." Fox reminded him. "So another will be lurking around somewhere." Cowboy figured out. "Look." Swan pointed at the turning lights heading down the road. "Swan, that's our train." Rembrandt pointed to the train making its way over to the station. "We need to go now if we're gonna make it." You gulped and watched the bus make its way down. "Run." Swan ordered and pushed you in front of everyone to give you a head start.

After that, the lot of you sprinted down the road and jumped any obstacles that was in your way like boxes and trash bins. Once The Turnbulls caught sight of you all making a run for it, they sped up and didn't show any signs of slowing down. If they caught up to you, they would definitely flatten you all.

You all made it to the Subway Station stairs, climbed the stairs and jumped the turnstile multiple of you at a time. Any man or woman that got in your way was pushed to a side and left frightened by The Warriors that bardged through their way. You dived for the train doors before they closed and so did Ajax since he was the last to get in the carriage. He purposely hung back to antagonist The Turnbulls with the middle finger. Sure that pissed them off even more, but it proved that The Warriors were quicker. Plus you all had made it in time, you felt like you were home free. The train began to set off the split second The Turnbulls made it to the train carriage doors and that was called perfect timing.

You all cheered and mocked as the train began to move with the lethal skin-headed gang being left on the platform furious and agitated. Yes, the lot of you got lucky just now, but all fortune unfortunately came to an end.

The train that was supposed to be taking you to Union Square and instead it came to an Unknown Stop. A fire had been started on the tracks and all passengers were advised to leave the platform. Anyone trying to make it to Union Square would now have to catch a train from the nearest station a few blocks down that would then take you to the 96th Street Station and then to Union Square.

"Ohh fuck about." You sighed as you watched the fire cackle through the window. "Why couldn't it rain now?" Rembrandt slammed his fist. "Maybe we ought to worry about who set that God damn fire." Fox mentioned and took a look at the fire outside. "Come on." Swan spoke and excited the gang off the train and out into the streets.
