Chapter 43: Overcharge & Seek and Destroy & Hidden Package

Cole sat on the side of the roof, looking down a Cassie as she was laying her head on his lap, calming down from the sorrow she felt. Cole strokes her hair as she was breathing calmly. "Thank you for that." she whispers to him, he nods at her, "Of course, Cassie. You're still a kid and you have the right to express how you feel." he informs her and she smiles weakly. "Thanks, but I need to be strong for the people from New Maris, but it's also right to let go and bawl your eyes out once in a while." she jokes.

Making him chuckle a little at her, "Yeah, yeah it is." he mutters and looks down at her, "It will get better." he states and she turns onto her back, looking up at him. "Not today it won't, not tomorrow, or next week. But it will be better with time and it will take a while too," he states and she exhales. "I just wish it wasn't like this." she admits and Cole nods at her, "Yeah, I wish it wasn't either, but I'm glad it was." he states and she sat up and turns to him, "Why?" she asks and he smiles at her. "I got to meet this great kid, she had a temper, a really bad one too," he states, she smirks and looks away from him. "Has a big heart of gold, a good conscious to listen to and I trust that she will do what she believes is right," he states, smiling at her.

She smiles and looks back at him, "You sound happy taking about this kid of yours." she states and he shrugs, "She may not be my blood, but she is my family and I swore I would be there for her when she needs me." he states, Cassie exhales feeling the weight lift from her shoulders and she lays her head on his shoulder. "Thank you, Cole, for everything," she states and he wraps his arm around her shoulder and holds her tightly. "And thank you, Cassie. For being in that Crater with me," he states and she exhales, relaxing against her father figure.

But then their father/daughter moment was ruined as Cole's phone was up, he exhales and pulls away from Cassie, who pulls away and looks at him as he answers his phone. Zeke sounded irritated on the other end, must be bad, Cassie thought to herself. "Damn Militia disabled another substation. Come, man let's get you and Cassie charged up. Bring that bad boy back online!" Zeke informs him and Cole ends the call and looks at Cassie, "You up to it?" he asks her and she shrugs. "I need to electric something anyway," she answers. Cole smirks at her, then he stood up and offers his hand to her, "Then let's go." he states, she smirks at him and grips his hand and he pulls her back to her feet and they both stretched. "Come on, let's find that substation," he tells her.

She nods at him and they took off running and climb to the tallest house they could find, "See the substation?" Cole asks as they both were looking around the area. "There!" Cassie calls out as she points ahead of her, Cole walks over to her side and looks to where she was pointing. "It's by the railroad close to the river," she informs him. He pats her shoulder and they both took off, jumping onto the power-line and grinds their way across, jumping into the air and glides onto the next power-line.

Icemen fired at them from the roof, but Cassie smirks as she threw a sticky bomb at them. "Delivery!" she calls out as it sticks to one of the icemen and they explode. Cole just laughs as they jump from the power-line and land on the substation. Then Cole looks ahead and saw the lighting in the air as it showed him where the next substation was at. He smirks and looks at Cassie, "You ready?" he asks her, she smirks, holding her hands up as electricity was cracking in her palm. "Let's fly," she answers and he chuckles at her. Then they both jump up onto the power-line and grinds.

Jumping into the air at the end of the power-line, electrocuting the Icemen as they jumped over the roof and onto the next power-line. They race forward, keeping themselves charged up, but Cassie lands on the roof as Cole lands on the power-line. "Keep up!" Cole calls out to her as she jumps onto the power-line hurried after Cole. Then he jumps over the roof, frying the Militiamen and lands onto the next power-line, Cassie was right behind him as she finished off the Militiamen.
