the perfect powerless

chapter 4 - team chaotics

Driving through the forest and onto the main road, the trio were laughing about the previous adventure in autopia. "I can't believe we won that." Charlie laughed out. Onyx composed herself and saw that the next city was on fire. Not just one or two buildings, the entire city. "Come on, we need to check if people need help there." Onyx stated as the trio rode into the city. Upon arrival they asked around if anybody needed help but they were ignored at every turn. "We don't need the help of the Litteral powerless." One man explained as he took water from the fire hydrant to put the fires out. Onyx noticed that it was an il fire and she found a fire extinguisher before putting the rising fire out.

"What did I just say?" the man asked to onyx was wiping away the sweat from her head. "You were making it worse." Onyx responded angrily. "Come on onyx, let's go. We know where we're not wanted." Charlie explained as she dragged onyx to a car. "What was that about?" Charlie asked. "If you don't have powers, your disabled in this world." Onyx explained clutching her steering wheel tighter. Soon they arrive in a clearing and they set up camp for the night. Onyx took off her speed enhanced shoes and started working on them into the dead of the night. While working she heard a branch snap and she quickly grasped her sword and stood her ground. "Who are you? I know you're out there." Onyx stated, startling the others awake. "what's (yawns) going on?" eve asked hiding behind Charlie. "someone's here." Onyx explained as she swung and managed to hit the person with the back of, her sword.

The man made himself visible to show someone about their age, but attired in ninja garments. "How are you?" Charlie asked pointing the multitool at the man and showing that wear was boiling. "My name is camo. I'm a member of the chaotics detective agency. I was sent here to check on you." "Me?" Charlie asked. "No, her." Camo explained pointing at onyx. He showed them where he came from and it was a clearly underfunded detective agency. Inside was a big, bulky man listing to music through his overside earphones. Two people playing cards on the table and a young child tinkering with a TV remote. "I brought them boss." Camo explained showing the trio off. "Welcome to the chaotics detective agency. It's good to see that your safe. We might be able to pay for the lights this time." The big man in charge explained.

"Who are you and what's going on?" the big man chuckled and gave onyx a friendly slap on the back before explain who everybody was. "I'm Gater, nice to meet you. The young lad over there is buck, the duo playing cards over there are tough and beam." The duo raised their hands and waved before getting back to playing cards on the heavy metal table. "HI, I'm eve. This is Charlie and onyx." "Now that we've all met, can you tell us what you were doing spying on us?" onyx asked adjusting her shoes to make them not a tight. "Sorry about that, where getting aid to make sure that you were all right. The money was coming from the elites, how could we say no?" Gater explained looking around the room and thinking about everything he could do with that money. Suddenly a loud screech could be herd and the heavy metal table was thrown against the wall, cracking it.

"I lost again?" tough asked. Beam just extended his arm and waited for tough to pay up. However, by extending his arms, his skin flaps under his arms extended making themselves very visible. "Come on. I'm bored. Let's do something." Buck said at an increasingly faster and annoying pace. "Why do you have a child here?" Charlie asked walking over to the disassembled remote. "His parents died not to long after we found him. We kept him around not only because the orphanage here sucks, but also because we needed a data retravel specialist and he's one of the best we found that'll work for minimum wage." Gater explained going back to his desk and working on the taxes. "Come to think of it, before you go, we could use some help on the next case. We're looking for a powerless. Maybe you could help." Gater suggested. "That sounds fun, but if we do this you need to use all of your contacts to help us find Eather." Charlie demanded. "Fine, but we're charging the elites." "Go right ahead."
