Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Frozen Shadow. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Infamous, Sucker Punch, Sony and a few others do.

(New Marais)

Damien looked at the military forces and sighed while he looked at Cole and the others.

"You know they're not leaving Marais until we're all dead or rounded up." He said while he turned to Kuo who was making him shiver.

"He's right, Conduits aren't safe in New Marais, we can't stay here. Cole isn't a hero to the military, he's just another Conduit, we don't have any reason to be in town anymore anyway." Kuo said, Damien sighed and brushed off his arms.

"Cole is going to have to wake up soon, the Conduits are escaping town, but they'd be better if we have a leader helping keep us out of trouble." Damien said while his hand turned transparent and shadow like.

"He isn't going to wake up for a while, he's still knocked out from the RFI." Kuo said, Damien turned into a being of pure shadow.

"I'm going to find a truck or something for the trip out of town, you coming?" Damien asked while Kuo nodded while she turned into ice and followed Damien into the sky.

(With Damien and Kuo)

Damien landed on a car and watched a tank and a squad of soldiers walk down the road with Kuo following him, he looked at the military.

"I like the military as much as the next guy, but this is going too far to have them hunt down people with super powers… Seriously, this is too much." Damien said, he pulled up his hood before he walked down the street, Kuo followed.

"Their scared, they don't know any better. We can't blame them." Kuo said while she brushed off her arms and then she looked at the military.

"They have locked down an entire city and their rounding up people over and over for something or killing the more dangerous ones. I know they have dead Conduits all over the world, it's what the news has been talking about over and over." Damien said before he turned to Kuo.

"You can tell it any way in the world you want, but things are still bad all over, I doubt other cities with Conduits, if there are any… I doubt the military isn't doing the same thing to them over and over. Conduits are being hunted, and I don't feel like being in their crosshairs." Damien said before he walked up to a truck and focused on his hand.

He had NO idea how his powers worked, but he was trying to get them to work, his hand turned into shadows and he slowly put it up to the door which slowly passed through the door.

"I swear this is never going to be something I'm going to get used to…" Damien said while he opened the door and then turned to see Kuo behind him.

"You can turn into a shadow being, I'm guessing?" Kuo asked, Damien turned and chuckled before he turned to her with the same glowing hand.

"They seem like it's just shadows and turning my body intangible, I don't know if it's anything else right now, I don't even know how they work to be honest." Damien said while he sighed and looked at them.

He wouldn't be used to them for months, probably years. He was a normal person and now he had powers that he wouldn't know how to use for weeks.

He was both happy and weirded out. He let Kuo get into the car and then he eased into the back of the truck and sighed in annoyance while he looked around the car.

"You ever feel like you don't belong anymore in the world?" Damien said and he looked at his hands while he looked into the distance, he had no idea what to do at the moment.

"I do all the time… Ever since I got these powers, I've felt different. I don't know what's going on anymore. I don't even know what my powers are going to do the next time I use them." Kuo said, Damien nodded and sighed.

"Let's go back to get Cole." Damien said and he crossed his arms and sighed, looking at his glowing hands. He didn't know that his connection to Kuo would change, it would become so different. He looked at his hands and then grinned.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! Yes, I know the chapter is short, next chapter will be longer. I also want to point out that soon will begin Second Son, next chapter will be next week or so and will show Damien and Kuo talking to each other and then to Cole. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
