New World Order (TNE) [Original]

Chapter 5 - Out For Dinner

 Martin and Marissa were starting to get hungry but in the aftermath of the destruction not many shops were open for business. There had clearly been riots, fights and stealing going on in this area but luckily with these new monsterized bodies it seemed nobody had got too injured. Now the supermarket seemed barren with the lights dimmed and an eerie lack of cheesie music, all the group could hear was their own heartbeats and the fluorescent lights getting powered. Some of the labels for the different aisles were just hanging from a thread to the dilapidated roof of the store.

"Well there's no cashier so what should we grab?" Martin asked Marissa gesturing to the multitude of aisles.

"It's still stealing, I don't feel right about this," Marissa replied feeling evidently uncomfortable about the whole situation. She stepped back onto a can of refried beans, getting some on her shoe. Thinking that it was some kind of animal dropping she decided not to mention it.

"It's not like we can just go back home and take the food from our fridge people probably already used their powers to steal from our places a few hours ago,"

"Can we at least put the money in the cash register," Marissa bargained, only for Martin to roll his eyes and reluctantly do it. "Was that really so hard?"

Martin and Marissa had grabbed some ingredients for a meal they both knew and needed as little prep as possible. A big Pokèbowl for them to share, that way it was raw and finding a bowl for it was pretty easy too. The only problem was looking for a knife to cut the fish and vegetables. They couldn't find a single one in the whole supermarket. But from what Martin knew about knife prices they couldn't purchase one with Marissa's attitude. The grey tentacle creature came in the store from earlier. Marissa and Martin both shared a look of fear but passed by without them noticing.

It seemed like after the initial rush of it all, people had began to settle with their powers and became less aggressive.
