inFAMOUS 2: Nocturnal Rainbows
This is a story focused on two of Nix's siblings, set immediately after the events of inFAMOUS 2 (Evil Ending). I do not claim rights to owning any of the characters that have been introduced in the game. I do however own the OCs that have and will be inducted into this fanfic.
She said the Demon of Empire City had come to New Marais, she said she had met him. Even fought along side the guy. She even admitted to having a slight crush on him. She spoke so highly of the Electric Man, almost worshipped the bastard. So as Micah looked down at his sisters lifeless body.. He couldn't help but wonder what was going through her mind in her last moments.
"Was dis how yuh thaught it'd turn out, Nix?" he questioned as he squatted down and stroked her face. Internally he was grieving, his soul rubbed raw with sheer undesignated anger. He was upset with himself for not being there for her, pissed with her for not leaving New Marais with him, enraged with Cole McGrath for snuffing out her life, and mad at the world for being so cruel. Finally he let his tears were flowing freely. Any other time Micah would have tried to save face in front of Big Sis, knowing she would kick his ass until he stopped acting like a wimp and jeered at him for being so sensitive. But this time, he thought he deserved to cry, he needed to release some sort of emotion. He needed to act human, even though the same conduit gene that made his sister special resided in him as well. They had been born just twenty minutes a part, Nix made it out first, she use to joke about how she'd been the braver and stronger twin since their birth, paving the way to the outside world for the twin who wasn't as tough or strong enough to take that giant leap.
Micah shuddered, placed his hand against his head then turned to look out toward the desolate and destroyed city but, something else caught his attention.. Another corpse. It was a slightly overweight man wearing shades and from the looks of him and it appeared he shared the same fate as Nix, slain by the Demon. Micah sighed then turned his attention back towards his sister and placed two fingers on her forehead. At first nothing happened then, a small violet light shimmered beneath his fingertips as he used his powers to absorb his sisters memories and every bit of her essence. When he had finished a whole new wave of emotion struck him.
Confusion hit him first.
It rammed like a freight as images flashed in his mind.
It was like watching a movie in fast forward, catching bits and pieces of it here and there.
Micah staggered as he approached the portly man and repeated then process.
This time though, everything made more sense. The fragments of his sister's memory blended and flowed in conjunction with this man, this Zeke Dunbar and then Micah finally understood.
Cole had always been a bad seed, since his time in Empire City, it's seemed like everything and everyone that got too close to this Demon died.
He was a poison, a leech, a being so inhuman it was almost frightening to think about.
Almost.
Micah had no room for fear, there was only sadness, anger, and the pain that followed betrayal. Nix and Zeke were now a part of him, now more fuel to his inferno. The man only knelt to retrieve Zeke's revolver and tuck it into his belt, then dissipated into a plume of familiar red smoke.
He appeared shortly afterwards on the ground just outside his car, a red 2010 Dodge Charger. His caramel eyes focused on the reflection that stared back at him from the passenger window. His was hair twisted in neat dreadlocks tied in a ponytail, similar to Nix's yet longer in length. A thin scar streaked through his left eyebrow, a gift he received for snooping around his sister's room. His clothing was somewhat simple, a black hoodie halfway zipped revealing a plain white undershirt, destroyed denim jeans with holes and tears around the knees, and black sneakers.
Suddenly the window rolled down and a young girl's face peered at him with a confused look, "You ok, Micah?" she asked trying to read his expression. Her eyes were red an puffy and it looked like she had just finished crying. "Nah, doll..." he muttered as he glanced toward the cathedral behind him, ".. She flyin' wit ma' dem now.." he said, doubting that she didn't already know. Luci (LuLu and even sometimes Lu) just nodded and sniffled before burying her head in her lap, sobbing quietly to her self.
Micah made his way around the car and climbed into the driver's seat, with tears stinging his eyes. He looked toward his baby sister and began to rub her back softly, then after a minute he spoke, "We gunna' mek 'im pay Lu.. Dere ain't but one kinna justice for dat type of animal so we gotta be da ones to put 'im down.." his tone was soft, barely above a whisper, and when he had finished speaking he started the car with intentions on following The Beast's trail of destruction.
To be continued..
Comments and critiques are welcome and. I hope you guys enjoy the story.
Micah is a versatile conduit. No single power is his other than the ability to absorb bits of other people's powers and memories along with bits of their personality and even so far as their entire being - so long as they're deceased. I haven't given much thought as to how I expect this story to go but just hang in there, I'm sure you'll enjoy the ride.
