Chapter 7: Going Overboard & Overcharged

Cole and Cassie walk along the sidewalk, people waved at them and took their pictures, Cassie giggles and waves back, Cole just smirks at her. Then he spotted a man looking at them and waving, trying to get their attention, he pats Cassie's shoulder, she looks at him then at the man and they both walk over to him. "Them fascists are unloading some fresh supplies, maybe you should help out. You know what I mean," he informs them. The two exchanged looks, but they nodded at him and took off to the location of the supplies.

They jump over the fence onto the ruined bridge and glides over the water, trying their best not to get wet, the landed on the ground and ran to the ship, but the fanatics notice them and fired, the two dodges the bullets and took cover behind the tree, Cole peeks out and looks at the fanatics then pulls back and looks at Cassie, "Remember, don't hit the supplies." he informs her, she nods at him and the both turns and fired at the fanatics, Cassie pulls out her wipe and pulls one out, making him scream and she threw him into the swamp, Cole whisltes as Cassie cracks her whip and snaps it at the other one, it wraps around his waist and she pulls him out, he shot towards her and slams her fist right into his face, Cole fires at the last one and they both jump onto the boat, they looked at the crates then back at each other and smirks. They both sent out shockwaves and sent the crates right off the side of the boat.

Then they ran over to the front of the boat, glides over to the next one and they look back on the land and saw that the fanatics were firing that them, so they fired at the fanatics and Cole sent out some shock bombs as Cassie kept firing, once they were dealt with, the two conduits finished off the rest of the crates and sent them into the swamp. Once that was gone, the two smiled at each other, then fist bumped. "A job well is done, Macgrath," Cole said to her and Cassie smirks. "Right back at cha, Macgrath," she said as well and they took off for the dry land.

Cole collected blast shards and stopped muggers in their tracks, as Cassie stops muggers as well, collected blast shards and gathered dead drops. The two regroup on a roof and they sat down on the ledge. "So, you good?" Cole asks her and she nods at him. "I got blast shards, a few muggers, and a few dead drops," she answers him. He nods at her and she pulls out her phone, "Here, listen." she tells him and presses play.

"Audio surveillance of Joseph Bertrand, file A435." "That new facility you folks are building below the carriage house it's... overwhelming, hats off to you. Doctor." "Our technology is hundred years ahead of the rest of the world." Don't be so modest. When I joined the First Sons, they told me that they had technology a hundred years ahead. Now that sounds conservative. When I saw that place I thought I'd been abducted by a UFO." "Sorry for the confusion." "They were just caves before, I knew them well. Played in them as a child. They were part of the underground railroad. Smuggling escaped slaves out of town, then it was prohibition and whiskey instead of slaves. Now! Now we're smuggling in the future."

The recording ended and Cassie looks at Cole, "Sounds like this guy is full of himself." he states and Cassie nods at him, "That's what I thought as well, I'm even beginning to think that there's a lot to Bertrand that we should be careful of." she warns him, he looks at her and nods.

They both stood up and ran along the roofs, then Cole's phone went off, making them stop and he answers his cell. "Want you to meet this genius electrician guy. Refused to work for the Militia, so they're trying to shut off his power. I said we'd help." Zeke informs him, Cassie rubs the back of her neck and looks at Cole, he nods at her and they ran along the roofs, climbed up a wall and there was the electrician, standing there, waiting for them. So they jumped down and walk over to him. "Hello, I rigged this substation to give you a massive charge. An overcharge. Reach the generator while in that state, and you'll deep fry those Militia saboteurs." he informs them, Cassie smirks as Cole nods at him. They walk over to the substation and they step onto it. Cassie and Cole gasp as power surged through their bodies, they look down at their hands and smirked. Then Cassie jumps onto the power-line and glides forward. Cole chuckles and he follows after her, electricity was sparking off their bodies as they Militia they kept dropping by were overcharged and then deep fried.

Cassie just laughs as she was enjoying herself, Cole laughs as well having some fun too, they then arrived at the second substation and the saboteurs were deep fried, Cassie smirks at her as they drop. Cole looks down at them as none of them were moving. They both laughed and sat down on the substation. "Okay, that was awesome." she giggles and Cole nods at her, "I know, man that power surge. I never felt anything like that." he states, "Me neither. Man, I wish we had that kind of power all the time." she states and he looks at her as he smile falls "And if we did, we're no different from Kessler or the Beast." she states and he smiles at her a little. "Hey, it's okay." he mutters to her and she lays her head against his shoulder "We are different from them." he states and she looks up at him, "We understand the danger of such power and why we much be careful with it, so we can become better than them," he states, making her smile again.

She exhales and lays her head back on his shoulder, she couldn't help but smile at him, "Where would I be if not for you?" she asks him, he just smiles as he lays his head against hers, "I think it's the other way around, sweetheart. Without you, I wouldn't want to be a better person." he tells her and she just smiles.
