The Wretched: Ascent of An Anti-Hero

A golden man screamed across the sky and laid waste to the Earth. He appeared out of nowhere, striking down cities with golden blazes of light. Then, he disappeared. Where he went nobody knows. In the aftermath, the Powered emerged. Humans granted superhuman abilities that transcend all logic and physics. The world is in tatters, communities spread across the globe with limited contact, ruled by battles between humans and villains. All the while monstrous creatures known as the Wretches stalk the barren, scarred wasteland. With incredible powers of my own saving the world is a journey of putting one foot in front of the other.

I focused all my attention on tracking what was happening on the inside of the building.

The bird Powered was on the first floor, somehow managing to dodge gunfire by seemingly bouncing from the walls and the ceiling with erratic flaps of their wings as she moved closer and closer to the group of people who had been in the upstairs office.

With the drones that weren't being used to keep an eye on everything I harassed our enemies and had them fire small but powerful photon blasts at any exposed skin and eeys that I could find.

It wouldn't be enough, but it would help to disrupt the aim of those that were targeting my allies.

From the opposite side of the building, Paramount and his two Powered assistants had begun their own attack.

They had managed to draw the attention of most of the armed gangsters and patrol members, which left our Wildthing in the middle of what was basically a group of unarmed, naked, panicking people.
