Bullets rained down on the walls of what remained of a house. Outside was a similarly desolate landscape, with houses burning and buildings crumbling. All a consequence of a riot which started many hours ago. 

 

“Elizabeth! Any ideas or special talents you want to reveal right now? We need to take out those seven guys before this wall turns to nothing” Steven said as bullets pounded against the wall he was hiding against.

 

“Yeah… I may have a plan.” Elizabeth reached for a large bottle of coke and some mentos inside a closet which was torn apart by bullets. 

 

“How about saving snacks and drinks for after this?” Steven yelled over the loud gunfire, “They clearly want to kill us from a safe range and have lots of ammo!” Elizabeth ripped the mentos out of all the 20 rolls and smashed them into the bottle of coke, chucking it as far back as she could. Soon enough, there was a loud popping sound and the coke drenched the seven soldiers in coke, temporarily disorienting them. Elizabeth grabbed a pan and got to work, smashing faces and deflecting bullets with superhuman skill. Within minutes, Elizabeth had dispatched the crowd and began inspecting her unconscious attackers. 

 

“They have pictures of our faces. How’s that possible Steven?”

 

“Nevermind that Elizabeth. Clearly, someone wants us dead.”

 

“How is there a picture of the time you saved me?” Elizabeth picked up the pan and walked towards Steven.

 

“I have nothing to do with it Elizabeth! Why would you think that I, your friend, would want you dead? More importantly, why on earth would I want to be ambushed and fired at?”

 

“Well Steven, it could just as well be that you did that on purpose so you wouldn’t be caught.”

 

“Elizabeth, you’re my friend. I would never do anything to hurt you.” Steven said. Elizabeth realised, after a little cross-examination, that he was probably right. 

 

“In either case, if someone wants us dead, we better take some of the weapons these men had. We can’t take it all, but I’ll take the two P226R’s and the M4. You take the Five-seven.” Steven tossed the gun at Elizabeth.

 

“Three for you and one for me?”

 

“Well seeing as you are part cyborg, I’d say it’s pretty fitting. Let’s go now. I think I know someone who can help us out with this mystery.” So Elizabeth and Steven embarked on their journey. After walking for a few hours under the burning sun and defending themselves from multiple attackers, they, at last, reached a dark and rusted warehouse.

 

“Wait out here, I’ll go make sure he’s ready to see us Elizabeth,” Steven whispered.

 

With Elizabeth's approval, Steven went inside to discuss with his contact. Moments later, a man left the building through a door that seemed too small for him, followed by Steven."

 

Steven went inside after Elizabeth’s approval and made preparations with the man. Moments later, a man came outside through a door which seemed too small for him with Steven following behind.

 

“I know who wants you dead. His name’s Douglas, he only recently became the leader of the mobs in Denver. I don’t know what enmity you have with him, but I doubt it should end well.” the man said.

 

“On that positive note, I say we get going Steven. Pardon me, but I never did get your name Mr...?”

 

“Don’t bother with titles; I’m Dave. Just Dave. I’d suggest you get to the remains of New York. You’ll be safe there” Then, Steven and Elizabeth once more embarked on their journey. They hadn’t gotten far, but the heat was already bothering Elizabeth.

 

“I’ll catch up with you Steven, go on. I need to catch my breath.”

 

“Neither you nor I should be alone Elizabeth.”

 

“We’re in the middle of the ruins of a city without even a mouse. I’d say that I’ll be fine. Go along, I promise I’ll catch up.”

 

“Alright then, as you wish.” Steven continued to walk. When he was a considerable distance away, Elizabeth heard a faint whisper, followed by a dart cutting through the air. Then, darkness took her.
