...

Both young heroes faced each another as the simmering tension could be felt, if there was anyone to see them of course. Mark simply stood nonchalant with his hands behind his head and Atom Eve crossed her arms Infront of her. The street they were filled mostly vacant cars, litter of trash on the ground and the distance chorus of car horns.

"So, what's your plan now genius?" Questioned the girl.

They have spent some time away from possibly helping others in need. Eve's sense of responsibility, however, told her to keep an eye on the boy. She never knew what might happen if she took her sights off him.

"That's for me to handle." Mark dismissed her.

"Your stunt says otherwise, so spill the beans already." She retorted with a frown.

The boy grew annoyed by her poking at his business, but Mark resigned to just make the situation simple. Too many things are happening and he can't miss the chance to help. He can't do it by standing around and talking.

"Alright... fine! But we fly and talk. We still need to help."

"Ugh... have it your way." She begrudgingly accepted.

With a single leap, Mark shot himself to the air and left clouds of dust from where he stood before. Eve was not amused as it caused to get dust in her eyes. Her sights followed the young hero in the sky and she heard him call out.

"Come on slowpoke. Times a wasting."

Woosh!

"Grrr... You're wasting my time..." Eve grumbled.

Crackle... Boosh!

The girl made sparks under her pink boots and ignited the bottom of her soles into flames. The force pushed her up in the air with a blast. Scorched asphalt was left as the remaining evidence that she existed there.

Moment passed and the duo scouted the area below for any signs of trouble. All they could see were the cars and trucks jamming the streets and highways because the street lights had no power. People taking their phones out and raising them, trying to find any sort of reception. But none they could get. Homes and apartments are all dark with lack of the usual lights the duo would expect to see.

The men in blue with metal badges spread out to calm down the unrest that plagued everyone in the city. Police cars drive around and blaring announcements that would reassure the people that the situation is under control.

"Please remain calm and help is on the way. Stay within your homes and keep your families together. We are experiencing a widespread power breakdown due to a difficulty with the grid. Everything is fine and under control."

The announcement did little to quell the impatience the people had. The inert mistrust of the citizens with their government began to surface within them. The duo could only show a grim expression that the problem is worse than they could expect. Mark focused his eyes into the horizon and scanned for anything he could find.

BOOM! Crash!

A car slammed and T-boned an USV. The rage of both drivers of the crashed vehicles surfaced and both started throwing cusses at each one. The bystanders attempted to separate the two. A couple of male adults tried pushing the muscular man with a beard away, but they got dragged with him. His hand clenched to a fist and the other is pointing at the opposite.
