It had been awhile since we discovered that we were conduits, we were getting along well enough, found a abandoned warehouse in the city, it's not great but it's home, We had kai make walls for makeshift rooms, when we were done with our rooms we had two medium rooms and a large room left over.
Me, Alex, and Kai made a parkour/freerunning obstacle course in the biggest room, Dan made one of the medium rooms a kinda gamers den he put all our consols, controllers, and games in there, but there was a problem the warehouse as said before had been abandoned, the place could barely hold a charge because of the old generators, anyway we ended up fixing them, and Julian made the other room the armory with the help of our trusty metal conduit Kai (no seriously he comes in handy).
So yeah we thought we were pretty much set until last week when the news reported that conduits were sited in the city and where wreaking havoc (we weren't) and had indangered civilians lives (we didn't) and then they said this.
"Fortunately the Department of Unified Protection will be deployed into New York City to find and detain these monsters. Stay safe New York". I turned off the tv and fell back onto the couch.
"We're gonna have to be twice as careful now.". I said standing back up.
"No, you know what I'm done hiding these people think we're monsters, but they praise the Dups whose leader is a conduit, and don't get me started with the those fucking super soliders of her's, they can be given the power of a conduit but god forbid your born with the gene then it's like your public enemy number one, no I'm done, were taking the fight to them. I'm done hiding who I am!". Said Julian who seem more mad then anything else.
"Wholemeal calm down, were not in any danger people barely see us use our powers." Dan said trying to calm Julian down.
"No Dan for once he's right this is no way to live, always looking over our shoulders in fear of being sent to that god awful prison, and I'll tell you what I'm not going back to Curden Cay.". I say to Dan.
"Yo why you guys yelling for, I'm trying to sleep back here.". Alex said sheepishly
I walked into our makeshift kitchen while Julian went to wake up Kai.
"Bro I know you just woke up but I've got some pretty bad news...". I say while grabbing a soda out the cooler and tossing another his way.
"What?" He asked before taking a sip.
"The uhhh Dups are coming to New York plus now we gotta find this new conduit who just fucked every possible conduit in NY.". I say brecking the bad news.
"Bro it was inevitable. So what are we doing?". Alex said
"We're going to some how fight the Dups and find the stupid fuck who got them here in the first place.". I say to the guys.
"Uhh where's Kai?". Asked Julian coming back into the room.
"He went to see Tess.". I say as he sits back on the couch.
"Yo Dan pass me the pho...". Julian stops mid sentence because Kai just burst through the door.
"Guys the Dups are coming to New York!". He yelled.
"We know!". We all yell back.
"Oh,...ok.".he said in between breaths
After about an hour of stress relievering (gaming) we decide to have a group meeting to talk about how we where gonna find the ass who got the Dups here
