[color=a2d39c][h1][center]Raze Colter[/center][/h1][/color]

Raze ran. He just ran and ran down the streets of Darkwell. Raze wasn’t just running away from a guy with a gang of ghouls. He was fleeing the potential of being labeled  as a murderer, as if he could outrun such judgements. Raze weaved and shoved through crowds of angry, annoyed faces towards the only place he felt would be safe: his own home.

He bounded up the stairwell of his apartment building rather than waiting for the elevator, afraid that his hopes and dreams would fall away if he stopped moving. Raze hardly even stopped to whip out his keys to unlock the door, slamming his body shoulder-first into the faded, brown entry. Once unlocked, he slammed the door behind him and slumped to the ground, leaning his back against it to keep out any accusers. It didn’t help though. His accusers were already inside his apartment; in his mind.

[i][color=a2d39c]Murderer. You’re no savior, you’re a killer! Filth like you are unworthy of being a hero!,[/color][/i] cackled the voice of Hecarim. Raze pressed his palms against his forehead and gritted his teeth in frustration. Hecarim’s malicious laughter echoed around his skull, growing louder and louder by the second.

Raze yelled out loud, then thought to himself, [i][b]I DID THE RIGHT THING, YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!! IT WAS EITHER THAT WOMAN, OR THAT MAN!!! I protected the innocent![/b][/i]

Hecarim just let out a bellowing laugh, [i][color=a2d39c]You slaughtered that man’s life without any hesitation. You are a blight on Darkwell, just as so many others are. You are no beacon of hope, you are a symbol to be feared, a story told to scare children. You are one of us now.[/color][/i]

Still sitting on the ground against the floor, Raze lowered his clenched fists to the carpet, allowing them to gently rest on its bouncy surface. [i][b]No, I’m not. I am nothing to be afraid of. Not yet.[/b][/i] He opened his eyes and looked across the apartment to a window. All of Darkwell stood before him, skyscrapers silhouetted against a slowly setting sun. [i][b]There is much work to be done before the scum of this city truly fear me.[/b][/i]

[h1][color=f26522][center]Garrett Fishman[/center][/color][/h1]

Before Garrett stood not a dangerous stranger, nor a mysterious courier. Instead, it was simply a little girl, much shorter than Garrett. She was small and shaking, reminding him of a mouse. Garrett swiped the phone from her and stood off to the side of the doorframe, giving his clone room to usher the girl in with a shove.

Garrett scrutinized the phone in his free arm, turning it over, then back around. Pressing the home button simply brought up the main menu, no lock screen or security of some other kind. [i][color=f26522]Yet.[/color][/i]

Garrett held out the phone with the screen facing straight at the girl. [color=f26522]”What do I do with this, call or wait to be called?”[/color]

[color=red]"So what's your plan? You going to try to bring a comic book to life? Be a boxer and kick ass? Ignore it?"[/color]

Vicki brought up a clenched fist in front of her face, examining it to find any indication at the source of her strength. She herself was still trying to figure out the answer to that question. [color=f6989d]”The plan is to learn to live with this. I don’t know what that looks like yet, though.”[/color]

The elevator dinged, and Vicki glanced quickly at the floor indicator. They were at the top of the complex. [i][color=f6989d]Fancy.[/color][/i]

Alex lead Vicki down a hallway. On the way, they passed a blonde man with moderately long hair. Vicki nodded at him with a slight grin, then continued on her way behind Alex. Down the hallway, one of the doors seemed to have...exploded or something. A few splinters were embedded in the opposite wall, but a majority of the door and some of its lock mechanism littered the ground. It was to this door that Alex steered Vicki. Cautiously, she poked her head around the doorframe first, followed closely by the rest of her body. She carefully stepped over and around pieces of the door, then spoke,[color=f6989d]”Ah, hi. I think I’m the same as you guys?”[/color]
