The sound of a gun going of may not have been as common in the apocalypse as it once was, but it was still every bit as polarizing.
As soon as the shot rang out, everyone in the crowded street began scattering like roaches.
Some ran for cover, others used their powers to protect themselves.
Malachi and Morgan were the only ones who remained standing upright and instead looked for the source of the gunfire, and the person who'd been hit.
Malachi found three gunman on a roof nearby.
Morgan found the man who'd been shot. The only detriment to this? It was Arias.
The shining leader of the new day was lying in the middle of the street; clutching his chest and screaming.
"W-Was that gunfire?? A-Are you okay, Malachi?!"
Celeste's panicked voice on the other line was all Malachi needed to draw his attention back to the real world.
"I-I gotta call you back, I'm sorry." Mal apologized.
