Disclaimer: I don't own Life is Strange nor do I own most of the OCs presented here, however I do own the plot of this story.
She blinked, before falling over, barely able to stop herself from falling face first into the dirt. She held herself up with her palms, and gagged, feeling bile rise in her throat.
She was, fortunately, able to stop herself from throwing her lunch up however, and instead spoke. "What was that!?" She said, throat scratchy.
"Everything was so slow, and then so fast!" She felt something drip from her nose, and felt it. "Blood?" She said, confused, before turning to anger. "MY blood!?" She demanded, furiously cleaning her nose off, before standing up, brushing off her pants.
She glared ahead of her, and began walking again, ignoring the stares from people around her. Well, not exactly ignoring them, more like silently wishing she was choking all of them at once, watching the life fade from their eyes. But she couldn't do that here, in such a public area...
She blinked, and turned, seeing other people retching. Her red hair flipped around her head as she did so, and she was greeted with the sight of several people being lifted into the air, grasping their throats for breath.
She looked down at her hands and blinked, before lifting them up, causing the people around her to soar higher in the air. She blinked again in confusion, before smiling.
Which turned to her grinning.
Which slowly became mad laughter.
She didn't know quite what was happening, but she loved it. She licked her lips, and slowly began crushing her hands, which had the effect of crushing their windpipes. But then she heard something, crying.
She looked and saw that two children were crying for mommy and daddy to come down, and she saw one woman trying to reach a carriage, which no doubt held a baby.
Blinking, this time softly, the redhead showed just a bit of compassion, and allowed the parents to fall to their children, before shrugging and dropping the rest...all but one.
Everyone else wasn't part of her usual target range anyway, she preferred younger, 20-25 year old adults, male or female. And only one person fit that bill.
As she walked away, consciously leaving him hanging there, she twitched a hand, and the man's neck snapped.
She smiled, seemingly forgetting about the event that caused her nose to bleed. "There's an old idea, can't remember who said it first though, it went something along the lines of 'Kill enough things and something's bound to make you immortal' heh, well in my case..." She pulled out her phone, glancing at the clock, and when she turned it off she saw a light red mist coming off her right eye. "Kill enough things and something bound to grant you power..." She laughed and walked on, each step in her high-heels taking off another piece of concrete and throwing it high into the air.
And with that, Andrea disappeared into Arcadia Neo.
Mace smirked, gleefully overhearing the duo's odd conversation.
"OK, so we know that somehow a fire breaks out." The first said, laying down a fact.
"Yeah?" The second said, agreeing.
"So how do we stop it?" The first asked
"Can it even be stopped, I mean, Robbie, what if we were wrong?" The other countered, unsure.
"Sarunas, we have to try, if we can find those others we could-"
"Could end up causing the fire." Sarunas interrupted.
Mace giggled with glee, she didn't quite know what they were talking about, but whatever it was...it could have something to do with why she could hear them right now.
Yes, she was exercising her power, the power to control sound-waves. She 'caught' the sound when she was leaving the school earlier, and though the mostly-blonde Australian girl was confused at first, she quickly realized the potential of such a power.
The amount of information she could get just increased by ten times.
She then decided to follow these two the whole rest of the day, out of interest of course.
But she couldn't deny, there was something attractive about the bad boy of the duo...
'He'll be a fun plaything' She thought, before zoning back into the conversation
"Good point, it will be worth a try to find others like us, maybe share our vision with them."
Mace giggled once more, trying to stay quiet in the car outside one of their's house. She forced the sound of there talk to move around her, rather than just in her ears, it was starting to hurt.
"Right, only one problem with my plan, how are we going to find people with powers like ours?" Robbie asked.
"Well, we could try triggering a vision, maybe that could help us find who we're looking for.." Sarunas said, seemingly thinking hard.
"Or we could send our minds back to 'Nam, and I don't really want to do that again." Robbie said, sounding almost scared.
"Let's head out there and look, if other people are getting superpowers, then it stands to reason that there would be someone who'd use them to fight crime." Sarunas said.
"In Arcadia Neo?" Robbie said, sounding skeptical.
"Yes!" Sarunas snapped. "Didn't you here about those murders and disappearances that happened before the storm ten years ago? The guy who used to be the school's head of security even caught a professor with some girl in some kind of a sex dungeon, crazy things happen here man." Sarunas continued.
"That was years ago man, things like that don't happen in Arcadia now." Was Robbie's objection.
Mace, chuckled at this, she of all people knew that wasn't true. She knew that a lot worse happened in Arcadia than just rape. Murder (Prescotts), drug deals (Multiple people), heck, there was even a serial killer in town apparently.
"Didn't you hear about that guy? They say he was killed by the Vampyre!" Speaking of which.. Mace would have to try and find that one sometime, imagine the attention she'd get if she caught them! It would be amazing!
However, before she could go off looking for a serial killer, she had to at least try to find other people with powers.
Maybe she'd have to start here...
Landon Blinked his sapphire blue eyes, and was sent forward two meters (Which is roughly 6-7 feet), moving in such a way caused his darkly dyed hair to fall in front of his eyes, below his widow's peak. He brought his hands through his hair and fixed the waft back to where it belonged.
And then he grinned, sure, he was on top of a building, breaking at least one law, but this was awesome! He could teleport, like Corvo from that game he'd played, what was it? Dishonored? Yeah, sounds right. What was that version of teleportation called..? Blink? Yeah, Blink.
He could Blink.
He turned and walked, across the street was a donut shop, and that sounded good to him right now, sure, he should probably get to work so he could change into his waiter outfit, but...donuts.
He snapped his fingers and found himself on the ground, luckily no one seemed to notice, well, no one that Landon could see that is.
He walked across the street and entered the shop.
On the wall to his left was a plaque dedicated to those who died in the Tornado ten years ago, which this place had apparently survived.
He strolled over and ordered a box of chocolate donuts, with a few sprinkled ones added into the box.
After paying for the donuts, leaving just a bit more money as a token of apology for the probably-illegal thing he was about to do next.
Once the Wynters boy was outside he went around back and teleported up to the roof of the shop, then he situated himself in a way so that he was hidden from view behind the donut shop's large donut-shaped sign.
He had snacked on three donuts before he heard someone call to him.
"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to get down from the donut!." He sounded like a stoner.
Walking over to the edge and peering down to make sure that this guy wasn't just on a trip, Landon was suddenly face-to-face with a dark-and curly-haired, filipino man who was obviously a user of some sort. He was standing next to a tan, tough looking man who had his hair up in a ponytail.
The stoner cracked up laughing, and the ponytail glared at him, clearly a little more serious. "Johnny, be serious." He commanded.
But Landon couldn't help but to crack a smile. "You like Iron Man 2 as well, I see your a man of culture." He laughed, blinking down with the donuts in hand, forgetting that superpowers should be kept secret for a moment.
Neither man seemed too surprised by this, which caused Landon to back up a bit. "You guys aren't from the government, right? Not going to take me to some lab to be experimented on?" He asked, putting on a more defensive pose.
"Don't worry about that, we aren't from the Government, I was actually hoping to get people together before any Government people try to get involved, that way if we all really are some science experiment gone wrong we can at least fight back before they try to experiment further. My name's Shaun, this is Johnny." With his piece said, he gestured to Landon, clearly expecting a response.
"How'd you know I had powers? I just got them today, so I know that you can't have heard about me." He said, still defensive.
Shaun tapped his temple and smirked, just about to respond when Johnny interrupted.
"Dude, he's got the most bananas power here, and I control time!" Johnny grinned. "We drove around for, like, an hour with this guy using his Assassins Creed vision to try to find people like us, and suddenly we pass by here and he slams on the brakes, and I see you like, teleport or something to the ground! This is cool bro!"
Landon blinked (as in his eyes) and looked between the two. "OK so your not with the Government, what do you want with me?" He asked.
Shaun grinned, and looked to Johnny. "Now you get to do the thing."
"How'd you like to join the Avengers Initiative?!" Shaun had barely gotten the words out of his mouth before Johnny jumped onto the Marvel quote.
Landon opened his mouth to respond, but glanced at his phone as it started beeping, and sighed. "Tell you what, stop by the Two-Whales Diner later, then we can talk about this!" He turned and ran across the street, dropping the donut box, entering an alley and warping up the sides of some buildings until he reached the top of one, where he ran off.
Shaun glanced at Johnny now that they were alone. "So, want to go grab a drink? It's been a long day."
"Dude, it's only five! Do you always drink now?" Johnny demanded good-naturedly
"Do you always get high at four?" Shaun said, crossing his arms.
"Uh, well, I.." He threw a hand behind his head and scratched, nervously laughing.
Shaun then looked down to the donuts, which had been unceremoniously, but safely dropped on the ground. "Want to have some donuts?" He asked, picking up the box.
"Sure!" Johnny said, reaching into the box and snagging a donut. Shaun smiled at his new friend and did the same.
His smile was soon gone as he took a bite. "Nuts! WHO puts nuts on a chocolate donut?!" He demanded, frowning a moment.
Author's note: Hi guys! Sorry not many new characters were introduced this chapter, but don't worry, next chapter I will be touching back on Caroline and meeting some new characters! But for now this will do. So, what did you think about the characters I did introduce in this chapter? Were they fun? Also, I have a question for all my OC submitters, what kind of Donut does your character like? Tell me in the reviews if you want!
...

*Ok, this can't be avoided. This fanfic took forever to write, and I know that sucks, but it's hard to write. You heard this right this specific fanfic is very difficult to write, but it's not your fault! I just have trouble with OC stories in general! It's why...that fanfic that shall never be named failed so miserably.
But, I'm never going to let myself give up on this story! I will see it to the end, because I feel the love radiating from my fans here! So I swear, no matter how long it takes, I will finish this story.
I promise.
Anyway, time for reviews!
(Note I will be only responding to specially selected reviews, because of the sheer number of reviews.)
LostValkerye: The issue with OC stories is just the fact that they aren't technically YOUR OC's, so there is always that doubt biting away; trying to make sure you don't get wrong.
In response to your response to my previous comments; you will improve on them overtime when you get properly used to writing said OC's.
It's definitely an improvement from the previous chapter, so I can't wait for the next one.
Me: Thanks for the feedback! It really helps me to improve.
Harukawa Ayame: Alright, update! We got to see a new batch of characters; the bitchy popular girl, the bully, the potential cinnamon bun, and the stoner. Niceee. I do like Lilian, can't wait to see what the girl will do with her newfound power. Though I guess there's a lot of person who got over getting mysterious power pretty quickly... I'll be freaking out if I got power-mind control is definitely one of my favorite. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Me: Glad you like her and think that she's a dangerous villain, I know that I think she'll be fun to write.
TheDreamSketchCrew: It's kind of official now... Robbie Burghley is the best hands down at the moment because of his battle theme and character pretty much hooking me and I can't wait for Lillian to begin just viciously abusing her powers, not sure though if I dig the music for her. I'd have wait n' see more of the others before judging.
It also brings a smile to my face to see how well you handled my character, but it's totes embarrassing to read him, y'know, being written n' all. Can't wait to witness him having his mind blown, freaking over other people's powers. It'd be pretty ridiculous to see how easily impressed he'd be just to see a girl talk to animals, let alone someone phase through walls or cast illusions n' shit.
Looking forward to the punch, joker
Me: Glad you like him, and I can guarantee that you will like 95% of the characters, also I'm glad you like my portrayal of Johnny, and don't worry, he'll be quite wowed by some of the others.
Can't wait to serve the punch, pal. ;)
Well, that will be all for today. (I wanted to do more, but don't have time, I want to get this out to you guys today! Sorry.)
So
Until Next Time True Readers!
i'm going to bed...
