Chapter 10: Trish Reaches Out
Cole re-establish the Satellite to the section of the Neon and Cassie was right behind him, "You good?" he asks her, she looks at him and nods. "Yeah, I'm good." she answers and they both jump down from the roof and landed in an open alleyway, were Reapers were settled, "Crap." Cassie mutters and then they all fired at each other and the two took out the Reapers. Cassie brush off her hands and they both ran out of the alley and ran up the stairs to the park, but as they were on the flat ground, a woman waves at them, that catches their attention and they walk over to the woman.
"I heard a courier is working for the Reapers. See what he's up to." she tells them, they both nod at her then walks over to the rail and saw a Reaper was running along the sidewalk. They high tailed it onto the power-lines and were on the roof as they followed him from above, then jump down above the train, ran along it and then jumps on the side of the building and climbs back onto the top. And once the Reaper went went to the under-pass, the two jump down and remained hidden as they followed him.
And when the Reaper reaches a dumpster, he places a package under it and started to walk away, Cassie fires at him, knocking him back, then Cole ran up to him and restrains the Reaper, Cassie then ran over as well and picks up the package, Cole walks up to her, grips the other end of the package and the blast shard split between the two. Cassie felt the surge of power as she felt even more stronger as well as did Cole, he smirks at her, pats her shoulder and then they both walk from the alleyway.

A medic waves his arms at the two and they walk up, "The Reapers trashes one of the clinics I had set up by one of the piers. Can you scare them away?" he asks them and they both nod at them and then ran to the pier fires at the Reapers that refused to leave in the first place.
Cassie pulls herself up onto the warehouse eats the Reaper on top of the warehouse, then she watches as Cole lures the others into the back and he too pulls himself up onto the warehouse. They waited and saw the Reapers gather in the back and the two then jump and thunder slam back down onto the ground and gets all the Reapers. Once the Reapers were out of the picture, the medic re-sets the clinic back up and attends the wounded, Cassie looks at Cole and they both high-five each other.
~8~8~8~
Cole and Cassie watch as people were running away, confusion and curious enters their minds and they ran up and saw a dead body of a cop, "Oh no…" Cassie mutters as she kneels down, Cole kneels down as well and then places his hand on the officer's head and Cassie place her hand on Cole's shoulder and they both threw their head back.
They pulled their head back down and stood up, then saw an echo of a Reaper kicking the dead officer and ran off, "Crap, this doesn't look good." Cole mutters and they both followed after the Echo. They ran through the alley and under the bridge, but then as they entered another alley, they saw police officers lined up and the Reapers were ready to gun them down.
But Cassie throw a sticky bomb at one and it back away from the officers and the other Reapers and he explodes. Cole then fires at the other two Reapers and finishes them off, saving the officers, "You clean an area of the city and the Reaper posters get torn to shreds. I love it!" Zeke shouts out with glee. Cassie giggles to herself and then both Cole and her walk from the alley and took off down the street.

The Electric conduits ran through the park, but they heard firing rifles, they then ran and jump onto the edge and then jump onto the train drop-off, climb up and looks down at the Reapers, then Cassie looks over and taps Cole's shoulder. He looks at her and then looks over and saw both trains were coming, they then look back at the Reaper and then…. BAM! the trains hits all three, making the two flinch, "That's got to hurt." Cassie mutters and Cole nods to himself, "I'm quite positive that they're not going to get up from that one." he states and Cassie shook her head.
They then jump down from the train and in front of a woman, she was waving her arms at them and the two turn to her. "The Reapers are poisoning our water. They're on the roof, will you please help us?" she asks them, they nod at her and took off, running for building. They started on the far and then climb up the top and fired at the Reapers that were on the roof. Then work their way up to the next one and fired fires at the Reapers on the Roof as well, then Cassie flips out of the way as a rocket went flying into the direction she was in.
She then jumps onto the power-line and fired at rocket Reaper with Precision and got him right in the head then lands on the roof across from the water tower. Cole fires at the remaining Reapers as Cassie jumps in as well.
As the last of the Reapers were gone they both jumps over to the roof and Cassie climbs onto the water tower as Cole pulls himself up onto the roof. She then took a deep breath and closes her eyes and mouth, send out a shockwave and Cassie went flying right off the roof, Cole flinches as he heard a thud, then ran over and looks down into the alley and saw that Cassie was using the muddy puddle water to clean the tar right off her face, Cole jumps down as the tar on Cassie face was all gone and she exhales with relief. "God I hate that part." she mutters and stood up and flicks the water right off her. Cole walks over to her and pulls her away from the water and they down the alley.

Cassie leans against the wall as she pants to catch her breath, "You okay?" Cole asks her with a smirk on his mouth. "Stop enjoying this." she throws at him, Cole bites his lip, "I'm not enjoying this." he tells her, she just looks at him. He held his hands up in defense, "I'm not I promise." he tells her. She just rolls her eyes and then walks along the sidewalk that was next to the river and she looks down at it, "This suck, never being able to step in water without being electrocuted." she states as Cole looks out as well, "Yeah, that part kinda sucks." he agrees, but then they saw someone waving their arms at them, the two ran up to the woman.
"Look! The Reapers are pulling people right off the streets!" she tells them in a nervous tone, the turn and looks down the all across from the street and then ran through the road and into the alley, getting the Reapers attention and they fired at them, Cassie ran further into the alley, making the Reapers follow as Cole took care of the ones that stayed behind.
Then a conduit Reaper sends out a wave to her, she dodges it and fires at the Reaper, catching him off guard. Cole fires at the other one from behind and knocks him off his feet, Cassie then did a kick twist and kicks the last Reaper into a spin and he crashes to the ground. The prisoners then ran to Cole and Cassie and they applauses for them, Cassie bows her head to them a little and the two quickly took off.

They ran pass a small cemetery as a man was standing in the center of it, they stop and walk over to him, "Hey super stars! Can you do something cool so I can grab a picture?" he asks them, they both exchange looks and nod their heads with a little hesitation. "I'll need a few pictures of each move." he tells them. They left the cemetery and Cassie saw a people laying on the ground and she ran over to them, the electricity cracks along her hands and she lowers them to the power and send out a pulse throughout the person entire body.
"Yeah, that's it! Just need a few more pics." the man said with glee. Cassie rolls her eyes and the two ran into the open alley and Cole punches as Reaper a few times, the man touch a few pictures of it, "Awesome, just need a couple more pictures." he states, then the two ran into another sections of the Neon and found another open alley.
Cassie found a car and fires at it, making it explode "Yeah! Keep it up, just need a few more pics!" he states and Cole fires, then he too makes it explode. He then looks at the next car and threw a sticky bomb at it and that made the car explode. The man gets the pictures and thanks them for it, and they watch him leave, "Why do I feel like we were used?" Cassie asks him, Cole sighs a bit, "Because we were." he answers her, "Oh." she mutters with a nod.

Cole climbs onto the roof as Cassie followed him, and they look into the open alley of were they were before, they look over at it and saw the Reapers running at the supplies, "Here come the party crashers." he states and the two ran over and did a thunder slam, getting right of them. Then more Reapers came, even the shotgun Reapers, the two separated as the fired at the Reapers and took them out, even the shotgun Reapers.
Then they heard shrieking again, looks over and saw the suicide Reapers, the two jump onto light posts and fired at them, taking a good few of the Reapers along with the suicide Reapers along with them. Then they both jump down and look up seeing a bigger Reaper, but with a machine gun. "Aw… crap." the two whined and fired away at the Reaper, Cassie threw a sticky bomb and it attaches to the Reaper's foot, he fires to get it off, but explodes in the process. Then they look over to their left and saw more Reaper come at them.
Cassie watches as one came to a puddle, she then fires at it and shocks the shotgun Reaper to dead and so did the other, Cole fires at the other Reaper and finishes him off. Then to their right, rocket Reapers came at them, but Cassie fires at the next puddle and shock one of the rocket Reapers to death, Cole fires at the other rocket Reaper and kills him in the process.
Then more Reapers came from the left, "Yeah, bring it on." Cole said in an excited tone, Cassie just smirks as the two raise their hands and fires at them, "Hey man, you got a sec? Heard you been kickin' around and I kinda got to talk to you about it." Zeke states as the two dodge the machine gun, "Gotta got our hand full right now, Reapers all over us." Cole informs him. "Yeah well, this is kinda important, you know that one blast move, the kind you throw a guy into the air? And then shoot while he's floatin' around? We need to name those kind of moves." Zeke tells them, "Now's not really the time." Cole informs him as Cassie took out the machine gun Reaper and Cole took out the shotgun Reaper.
But Zeke kept talking "I was thinking we call it the Crippler. you know, cause on ones gonna come back from that one. We can plaster it all over some T-shirts and make some serious Cashola. Think about it man, you and Cass are the muscles, I'm the brains. Think about it, man." Zeke tells them and hung up.
Cassie then knocks the Reaper right out and exhales as she pants, then they both heard a horn and look over and saw a truck. Cassie groans and ran back to Cole. They both fired at it, even with some sticky bombs. They manage to destroy the truck and then another came, the two fired at it and destroyed that one as well, the more Reaper came, Cassie throws out a lot of sticky bombs, destroying them all, even the trunk as well, she pants from using a lot of power and Cole steps next to her, "You okay?" he asks her and she looks at him, "Yeah… …I'm okay." she answers him and then exhales.
"Come on, lets go check on the stuff." he tells her, she nods and then they both ran back and see that there was no damage done to it, then Trish and another medic ran out to the supplies. Cassie hides behind Cole as Trish stood in front of Cole, "Need any help carrying that stuff?" he asks her, "We got it." Trish tells him and grips her bag strap, "And Cole, thanks." she tells him.
Cole then cross his arms and smirks at her, "Does this mean we're talking again?" he asks her, "We'll see." she answers him, then looks at Cassie as she hides behind Cole, she went to say something to her, but Cole shook his head, telling her 'not now.' Trish nods at him and then took off with the medical supplies.
