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.

Good Knight

I glanced back over at the two villains who had intruded on Hypogean's safe room.

Both of them were now standing in front of the staircase, one dripping wet. They were discussing strategy just as much as we were, muttering in hushed breaths.

How they planned to take on all four of us with their limited powerset I had no idea, I was fairly certain I probably could have taken them both out myself, but they were deep in conversation.

When they realised I was staring them down, they cut off their conversation immediately.

"Alright, enough discussion you dogs," Frak said, water dripping from his nose.

I flexed my palm and started up a charge cycle in my gauntlet. I'd have to be careful about using my shock attacks on Frak since he was so wet. Water and electricity didn't exactly mix, and I didn't want to come close to killing another villain right after I had supposedly almost done the same thing to Phet.
