Zack: This is a little something I came up with as a break from Through a Demon's Eyes(which mind you is incredibly exhaustive to write) and taking breaks from certain genres(atleast for me) helped clear my mind for it and develop it to a much greater extent. So just to tell you, yes the update for Through A Demon's Eyes is late but the chapter is nearly done. Expect about a few more days or, if by worst case scenario, a week .

Disclaimer: I do not own InFamous, SuckerPunch does.

InFamous 2
Death Has Never Been Sweeter

Cole hadn't really had time to focus on other things; shit hit the fan pretty quickly as soon as Wolfe died. Every waking hour (if he slept in the first place) was spent striving to search for the Blast Cores. That was the original plan until other things started showing, forcing him to put off until he had its location.

Kuo wanted to like this but somehow, she couldn't. She knew that the mission came first, it should always come first but ever since she became a Conduit, ever since Cole nursed her through the pain, she'd suddenly found herself placing Cole's life over the mission.
It didn't take long for her to realize she liked him. At first, denial came, trying vehemently to shake the emotions off and pass it off as a stupid crush. Secondly, she arrived at a stand point where she had grown to admire every single fiber of Cole MacGrath. Eventually, she ended up accepting her emotions for The Demon Of Empire City.

Logically, her emotions shouldn't have gotten in the way but since the first failed activation of the RFI, she grew to know how much she loved Cole MacGrath. After Cole decided to power the RFI, even if he had to sacrifice his life for humanity, her emotions flared and Kuo found herself doing anything she could to stop Cole from killing himself. Deviating from the group (wondering whether Cole had wished for her to stay), Kuo sided with The Beast under one condition; he let Cole survive and live. John was against it first but eventually caved, knowing Cole didn't pose much of threat after the RFI was destroyed and when he broke Cole's powers once more.

So here she was, valiantly fighting her love to stop him from going through with his plan, his fate. The Beast gave her an early apology should he have to harm Cole repeatedly if he got in the way which Cole did. After a long battle by the Hush Theatre, Cole struck John with his magnificent Ionic Storm, forcing John to his knees from the sheer damage of the attack. Nix, after intending to protect the RFI, followed Cole's attack with a suicide dive to the Beast, intent on getting revenge for her recently deceased 'family'. Knowing that John was her only way to stop Cole from sacrificing himself, she dove forward to deflect the attack but John had prepared quickly, pushing energy where Nix's attack and Kuo had rendezvous which exploded in wild energy which was once Nix. Kuo got blasted a good distance away, landing on the Main Street of St. Ignatious Church. For a moment, she had considered on lying there and let John do the work but once Kuo saw Cole running towards the Church, she knew he was about to spark the RFI. Soldiering through the pain, Kuo forced herself to teleport as she saw Cole engage The Beast once more. After the brief flicker of pain within her stomach, Kuo stumbled her way up the stairs of St. Ignatious Church as she saw Cole land, readying to spark the RFI.

"Do it" She uttered, catching his attention immediately as he rushed over and guided her to the nearby lamp post.

Sobs racked her body as Cole embraced her, trying to ease her pain.

"Its okay" he spoke, voice filled with sympathy and passion as he stared down at her.

"No, it's not okay. You made the right choice, hell even Nix made the right choice. I was...I am scared...scared to lose you" she replied as she glanced up, meeting his grey eyes that dully looked back at her.

"I am too"

Stunned, Kuo could only freeze up(heh, ironic?) as Cole planted his lips upon hers, a tingle of sparks and ice lingered within their lips as Kuo responded, strength renew as they broke away.
That was it, which was all she could've hope for. She knew Cole wouldn't let The Beast ravage the Earth, massacring millions because he didn't want to lose Kuo, no, especially not after he'd gone so far, not after Kessler killed Trish to force him down this path.

"Do it" she muttered and slowly and surely, Cole backed away, clutching RFI as she collapsed in her coughing fit, succumbing to the pain.

Hopefully it dulls the pain of death a little but now, as Cole gazed at her as he tightly grasped the RFI on his hands, a sincere, apologetic smile on his lips, death has never been sweeter.

She glanced as Cole charge the RFI and after an intense few moments of waiting, he let go.

Zack: So, that was a taste of how I could write InFamous. To be honest, I feel like I didn't flesh out Cole enough in this story, he felt like paper compared to Kuo(unless you've played the game and understood). But in all fairness, I wished this is how InFamous ended, Kuo revealing her interest to Cole.

That asides, this was quiet enjoyable write and I wouldn't mind typing another chapter for this but hat's for you to decided; should I write another chapter? This is already feels decent enough for a one shot but if you guys want another, go ahead and say it.
As always, R&R.

Cheers,
-Zack.
