"Not good."
Seeing the civilians in danger, A-Train rushed over to save them without even waiting for Hughie to say anything. This wasn't an act; it was simply the instinctive reaction of a veteran superhero who had saved countless people.
Watching A-Train rescue the civilians one after another and bring them to safety, Hughie couldn't help shaking his head. A-Train claimed he was still a bad guy, but he hadn't realized that he had long since taken on the shape of a good person.
"Long live A-Train!" "A-Train, I want to have little trains with you!"
