Chapter 1 - What Would I Know?...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elliot's POV

I open my eyes to the early dawn of morning.. or what felt like morning. You couldn't really tell the time anymore, especially with the sun barely working to death. The black muck surrounding it had blocked out the heat, which made the temperatures drop heavily. It was an uncomfortable sleep to say the least.

Spending the day out under a bridge instead of in my bed really made me realize the gravity of the situation. I didn't really go to sleep for half of that night, as I was really just thinking about the situation we're in, and how it was permanent for us..

What were we even going to do? How long are we going to survive out here on our own until we give up from dread?

Will we even make it?

After that last thought, I physically slapped myself in the face. What kind of crazy talk am I thinking about here!? We're absolutely going to make it! I mean-- I literally have superpowers! I could get through a lot of problems for me and Austin!

Austin..

I look over to Austin, who was currently still sleeping. Even if his eyes were closed, there were terrible eye bags underneath his eyelids, and faint tear marks from crying. He's gone through so much stress, even before the corruption. I'm not sure if he would even have the energy to venture out today..

That's when I decided I was going to make a huge decision.

I was going to protect Austin no matter what. Anything physical, mental or emotional, they were all gonna beat it! We're going to survive together, and maybe.. just maybe.. we can go out and find more survivors. People who were in grave danger like us, and we can all work together as a team!

Plus, we were only situated in my city right noe anyway, what's the harm in travelling about the world to find more friends? And for a bonus; no plane needed! Just one superhero!

Although, wasn't fully guaranteed I can even fly that high of an altitude.. I should maybe work on that before I get sea sick..

I look around for a moment, taking up my duffel bag and stepping a good feet away from the campfire. Peering over the bridge, I could see that creepy glitching

I shake Austin's body, waking him up. He jostles up and opens his eyes quickly, and look around, wondering what was going on.

"The corruption is coming down the walls! We need to go now!" I say to him, Austin widens his eyes a bit and gets up from the dirt ground, he puts out the fire and picks up his bags.

The both of us begin to go off, and we got to places easily, because I used my powers to fly off, with Austin clatching onto me. I tried my best to not drop Austin onto the ground, as we were over two thousand feet in the air.

"So, where should we even go?" Austin asks me, looking down at the ruined city of ours that was covered in black muck and glitchy stuff.

"I don't know- other universes might be corrupted as well, so we might need to explore a bit-" I say to him, I stopped for a bit, because I felt my back not taking the weight of Austin being on my back. I land down on the top of a building that was near some of the black muck that was spreading by itself VERY quickly.

"Oh well- OH- I do remember some place- I think my house- where I saw some supplies, we can probably get some there for us to survive in somewhat!" Austin says to me, and it really sounded like a good idea!

"Great idea! I'll set you down by your house! Don't worry- I know where it is!" I say to him, smiling at him. The both of us set down in front of Austin's house, some of it was covered in the black muck of corruption.
