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.

Friendship... From Villains?

"I'm sorry about what happened to you, Trist," Lauren said, she put her hand part way over mine. I gave her a grateful smile.

I had expected her to laugh or something, comfort was on the bottom of my list of potential occurrences. It was the first time I'd ever talked about it with anyone, if any of them had freaked out at me then I wasn't sure that I could have taken it.

Comfort from villains, no less.

"So, they're still giving you grief now?" Allen asked.

I gave the boy a shrug. "Sure. I went back to school after being in a healing area, and things were just as bad as before I left. That person I made friends with? They were joining in, as if they didn't even care."

"Why don't you just use your powers on them?" Allen asked, "No one would ever know it was you with your tech. Just a little stun blast in the back or something, it's not like you have to do anything extreme."

"Nah, never gonna happen," I replied abstinently.
