Infamous 1: The Electric Ones...

Chapter 12: Stranded

Cole and Cassie were in the other end of the tunnel, but the power on the other side was out and Cassie felt her head fuzzing and burning her from the inside. "Cole, what happened down there? Is Sasha dead?" Moya asks Cassie, who sighs to herself and presses her forehead against the wall. "I wish. Beat the living hell out of her, but some guys in masks came and grabbed her. Brought the whole tunnel down." Cole informs her, "It was probably the First Sons. If we're lucky, they'll take care of her for us." Moya states and Cassie smirks a bit to herself

"Yeah, that'd be swell. Listen, the power is out in this whole borough, Cassie and I barley got have the energy to walk. We're going to get the nearest substation back online." Cole informs her then hangs up.

He then looks at Cassie as she was ready to pass out, he grips her arm and pulls her right over his shoulder and ran out firing at the Dust-men in front of them. "Zeke, pick up." Cole states as he finishes off the Dust-men "Hey brother. Where the hell have you and Cass been?" Zeke asks as he answers. "It's a long story. Wanted to let you know we're over in the Warren." Cole informs him as he ran down the street with Cassie swung over his shoulder.

"The Warren? Damn man, that place was nightmare-central before the blast – hate to see what it's like now." Zeke states and Cole scoff a little. "Hasn't gotten any better that's for sure. I'll give you a call when I figure out how I'm going to get back home." Cole informs him. "Keep your nose to the wind, man," Zeke tells him and hung up. Cole fires away at the Dust Men as he took them down one by one and showed them no mercy, Cassie started to groans as she was waking up.

He looks at her then found the entrance to the sewers and jumps down and lands in the sewers. Cassie gasp awake as she felt Cole's electricity course right through her, she coughs as she tries to breath and Cole sets her down. "You okay?" he asks her, she looks at him and nods, "Yeah, I'm good," she answers and Cole helps her to her feet. "Pulled some Intel on the Warren. A couple of days after the blast, the homeless people living there banded together and seized control of the entire borough. They call themselves the Dust Men." Moya informs them, "Guess that explains why they're all wearing trash bags." Cole states and Cassie rubs her neck. "I suspect that they're lad by an extremely power conduit, so it'd be a big mistake to underestimate them," Moya warns them.

"I get it," Cole states and ends the call. The two then ran through the way, jumping from pipe-line to walkway. Then climb up into the tunnel and found the circuit.

Cassie walks over and places her hands on the cold metal. Cole jumps up and re-establish the connection and Cassie threw her head back and her vision turns white; she could see Cole gliding through the air and can land to the roof and onto a train tack leg. Even from power-line to power-line. She pulls her head back as Cole stood up, "Oh hell yes." he said as he was pleased about the new power he unlocks. Cassie smirks then ran out the edge, jumps and uses her thrusters to glide over and land on a pipe-line.

She chuckles and nods her head, "Oh hell to the yes." she states, Cole chuckles as he followed her as she jumps over into the tunnel and ran through it and jumps down onto the way, but the door ahead was blocked and Cassie throws a sticky bomb and blew the door away, the two jumps over and were greeted by the Dust Men, Cole fires at the water, getting all six as Cassie uses Precision on the only one starting on dry land.

Once they were dead and out of the way, they hurried through the sewers and through obstacles and finally can to the station and Cole power it right up.

~8~8~8~

The lid gets lifted right back up as Cassie steps out of the sewers and held it up as Cole pulls himself at as well, she then drops it as he was out and they look around and watch the power come back online, Cassie exhales as her body was feeling more cooler and lighter. Cole place his hand on her shoulder, she nods at him and he took his arm back, "Hey Cole, you remember Dwight? Just ran into his sister and she thinks he's in some kind of trouble. Wants to know if you'll look for him." Zeke informs them and Cassie wasn't familiar with a person named Dwight. "Dwight? Didn't that guy still your car and strip it down for parts?" Cole asks him and Cassie quickly covers her mouth to keep herself from laugh, Cole smirk, knowing that she was smiling a little.

Zeke then lets a strained laugh, "Yeah, yeah, yeah he was a real tool. But you know I've dug his sister for a real long time now and uh, you'd be doing me a real solid with this one." Zeke states and Cassie crosses her arms.

Cole places his hands on his hips, "And you think if I find Dwight, she'll reward you." Cole summons up and Cassie drops her head. "Hell, it not like I can do anything from here. She says Dwight was hangin' around the Chummy Chicken last time the talked, guess he was working over there. That might be a good place for you to start." he states and hung up, Cassie pulls her hand to her face and covers it as she shook her head. Cole places his hand on her back, "Cole, are you there?" Trish asks as she sounded a little frightened getting Cassie to move her hand away from her face.

"Hi, Trish." Cole answers as Cassie moves in close, "It's getting bad over here. People are dying, and there's nothing I can do, I need to get a bus over to Bayview, and see if it still had any supplies." Trish informs them, "Cass and I came through the tunnel and it's trashed. Same with the Stone Canal drawbridge." Cole informs her. "You remember Roger Miller from Amy's graduation? He's a city engineer that use to work with my dad. If anyone can fix the bridge, it is him. He lives by Valentine Park." Trish informs him, "I'll try and find him." Cole answers her and hung up.
