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.

Calling It In

"This is the dispatch unit of the PHA, how did you get onto this line?"

"No time to explain," I said, "There's a warehouse at the end of Hawley Road in the Northern Quarter, there's a bunch of injured Coventry Mob members there… including Phet."

"Phet? I'm sorry, is this a Powred?" The woman on the other end of the line asked, "Can I get some kind of identification?"

"I said there's no time," I repeated, ignoring her questions, "Phet is currently incapacitated due to an electrical-based attack, but there's no telling how long that will last. Warn any responders to be careful. They'll also need to watch out for the potential return of Loper, who escaped while injured. He may still be around here somewhere."

There was a beat of silence, and I was worried that my access from the radio wavelength had somehow been erased.
