Author's note: So I see that my previous update may have been missed, perfectly fine, hopefully everyone gets this notification, eh? Oh, without looking at my profile (if your reading this after that update that is) let me know if you notice anything a bit different this time around, hehe..

Disclaimer: I don't own Life is Strange or any of it's affiliates, nor do I own any of the OCs other than my own, however I do own the plot of this story.

Waking up was not a pleasant experience for Lloyd.

"What the HELL?" Lillian demanded, throwing him off her. "I thought I told you what would happen if you didn't stay on your side?!" She roared, sitting up in the bed.

"Hey wait a minute, you were on ME!" Lloyd snapped back, pulling off a strand of her hair and holding it up.

"Why you little, I'll fry your brain!" She shouted, shutting her eyes.

Lloyd, starting to feel Lillian's presence in his mind, searched for a threat he could reasonably give her to make her stop. He wasn't quite sure why, but only one quote came to mind. "I'm gonna punch you in the ovary, that's what I'm gonna do. A straight shot, right to the babymaker!" He said, balling his fists as he quoted the Anchorman.

This made her open her eyes, lifting an eyebrow up high. "Really, that old movie? Oh well, you got me to stop so, points for trying I guess." She sighed, rubbing her eyes. "I'll get back at you somehow, don't get comfortable." She warned, before speaking again. "Now out, I need to try some of the clothes the Prescotts have, they interest me greatly.

Lloyd, knowing better than to press her, left, walking down the hall and smelling a glorious breakfast being cooked...

Inori, hours later

"OK Inori, let's try this again." She said, strolling over and grabbing the end of the long defunct bus, trying her hardest to lift the vehicle, but to no avail.

"Grr. Just lift you stupid bus!" She snapped at it, she'd been trying to hone her skills for at least an hour now and she had yet to make any progress. It was starting to piss her off.

Finally she began to move the massive bus as it slowly started to shift, she was moving something that had survived the town's original destruction! She was moving something a tornado couldn't! Inori grinned as she began to lift the front end of the bus. Slowly however, almost in sync with her rising mood, the Japanese girl was struggling once more to lift the bus even minorly.

"Ugh! Noo! I swear I am going to figure this out!" She yelled as she dropped the bus. Before leaving she slammed her fist into the front of the metal bus, leaving a large dent.

"Maybe I can help with that." I man said, walking up from behind her.

"Who are you?" She demanded, balling her fists just in case.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you, not that I'd get very far if I tried, heh." He laughed a bit. "Names Shaun, and I'm part of a rapidly growing group of people with super abilities, I'm the leader, I guess, and main recruiter." He extended a hand, one Inori didn't immediately take.

"How can I trust you?" She said, squinting at the man with suspicion. "I get random superpowers and suddenly I'm found by a mysterious stranger? I've seen enough anime to tell that your either going to try and experiment on me, or introduce me into some kind of super team, and frankly I'm only interested in one of those."

'Shaun' laughed. "Alright, let me be the first to say that I'm welcoming you to the Avengers, but I can bet that I'll need to do a bit more convincing than that, huh? Alright." Shaun closed his eyes for a moment before reopening them now with a soft glow.

"In that building over there, there's some graphitti it says 'Eat shit and live', go see for yourself." He said, crossing his arms. "I'll be right here."

Squinting at him, Inori left to go check the mostly downed building, true enough there was graffiti on the wall, but it was all smudged from the weather and covered in vines. Yet she could make out the words just barely.

Walking back out toward Shaun. "How did you know? You couldn't have done that, especially with those plants in the way. So how?" She questioned, curiosity taking over.

"Heh, told you I've got me a few powers myself. Here's my number, as long as I'm not flat out drunk, which I will be in a bit, I should pick up. Call me if your interested, I'll show you to my group." Shaun said handing her a piece of notebook paper with a line of numbers down it and walking off.

Inori glanced down at the note and up at the man, she'd definitely call the man soon, but first...

She turned back to the bus. "Don't think I'm done trying to figure this out!" She snapped at it...

Shaun

Walking into the bar he grinned and strolled up to the bartender. "Heya Mack, it's been too long. Gimme the usual." The Aboriginal man said, dropping a few dollars on the table.

Mack was an ageing lithe man with a white beard, bald head and a stern looking face. Despite his gruff appearance he cracked a smirk. "Sure, Shaun, you got it!" He said, snagging a beer from under the desk and handing it to him.

Shaun sat down and grabbed it, opening it and was about to down it when.

"Hey asshole! Leave me alone!" A female voice called from across the room, causing Shaun to snap his head over to the origin of the sound.

A young woman, clearly not old enough to be here. She had a shock of bright red hair, clearly dyed done up in a wild rocknroll mohawk. She was wearing a leather jacket with a black shirt underneath along with black pants and a chain. On the side of her jacket Shaun could see a bright eagle.

The girl was being harassed by some drunk guy who was reaching out to grope her. He had short, dark hair and wore a plaid shirt and a pair of jeans from what Shaun could see.

"I ain't paid enough to be your bouncer, Mack." Shaun said, taking a gulp of beer and standing up. He walked over and leaned on the door.

"This guy bothering you..miss..?" He then noted that the guy didn't exactly seem drunk.

"This asshole has something I want, and when I asked for it he tried to grab me!" She snapped.

"Sir if your going to harass the other customers then I'm going to have to throw you out." He said, glaring at the man.

"Fine, whatever, I'm out, and you can tell the bitch over here that I don't know where her sister went. Who do I look like to you, Mark Jefferson?" He asked, storming off.

"Jerk." The girl said taking a seat.

"So you going to tell me what that was all about, or am I going back to the bar?" Shaun asked.

"My sister's gone missing, and the last person she was with was that asshat over there. I know he knows something, oh God I hope this doesn't turn out to be like it was years ago."

Mack had approached them carrying his drink, which Shaun was glad to accept.

"Bad business that." He said, pulling out a bill, handing it to Mack and sitting down.

"I'm just glad they caught him, Chief Madsen really is a hero." He said, taking another swig of the bottle. "Maybe you should head to the police with this one, kid."

I'm twenty-one, not a kid first off, secondly I have, Chief stick-up-his-ass is 'to busy to go looking for some girl right now' apparently there's some killer in town, whatever." She snapped.

"Your eighteen, I can tell, but your money's good so Mack'll take it for now. Second why don't you think about that last part, 'Killer in town'." He said, taking another drink.

"I fucking know what I said, my sister couldn't have been killed by The Liberator, she went missing way before they showed up. Besides I've followed this killer as a hobby, and this isn't their M.O, they'd have made a big deal over it body would have definitely been found, my sis is missing, not dead, understand me?" She said, fury clearly all over her face.

Then, Shaun had an idea, this could be a really good time to put his powers to good use. "Alright kid, tell you what. I'm heading to work now, here's my card, call me in a few days and I'll see if I've got anyone who can help you." He stood up and downed the drink.

He passed the bar on his way out and dropped a couple of bucks on the counter.

He then headed out to his truck and pulled a cigar out of his jacket, lighting it up.

Shaun took a puff as he crawled into his truck and roared off.

He blew smoke away and sighed. He really was too nice sometimes, this was none of his business.

He took another puff.

Whether her sister was dead or missing or invisible was not his problem.

Blow.

But something told him that she was important, and it wasn't just the eagle on her jacket.

Puff.

It was the light gold aura he picked up on seeing her.

Blow.

It was different from the other glow; she wasn't quite special like the others, she was important though.

Puff.

Shaun roared into the wilderness, heading toward his forge. What had his life become?

He puffed another cloud of smoke out and kept on driving.

Andrea

"Idiot, did you really think you had any chance of escape?" She smirked as she Force-Choked the helpless druggie.

"You must really be high, huh? Oh, wait" She lifted him higher into the air. "Now your really high!" She laughed at her own joke, before sighing. "As much fun as it is using my powers to kill you, I prefer things to be a little more.." She flashed her knife from behind her, deftly moving it up until it was held in front of her, her left hand gripping it tight. "Personal!" She laughed, yanking him down with her other hand and stabbing him right in the stomach. Blood gushed from the wound, warming her hands, making her smile.

"Delicious." She said, nearly lifting the knife to lick the blood off, but stopped. "What? Did you really think that I was going to risk getting some kind of disgusting disease? I was in your Drug Den for crying out loud! I saw all the needles you guys used, I might be crazy by I'm not going down like Al."

He blinked, either confused or starting to go into shock. She liked the confused option better. "Al Capone? Went to jail for tax evasion? Contracted-and-died-from-Syphilis? Best gangster of all time? Come on I dropped out of school at the tenth level and I know about him!" It was clear he was going into shock. "Whatever, I may be crazy but right the IRS? No-ho-ho thank you! That's why I don't have a job, can't tax what they don't have!" She laughed. He made a choking sound. Blood was finding it's way out of his lips.

She looked down to the dying man she tried to have a conversation with and sighed. "I miss having friends." She blinked. "I miss...you, Carrie." She shook her head violently. "But hey, your what I do this for right?" She said, trying to smile through the tears welling in her eyes. She looked at the knife in her hand. "Liberate Souls from their bodies, rid others of their suffering." She shook her head once more. "I don't need reminders!" She snapped, throwing her eyes upward and toward the drug den she'd cleared, it was an old house in the woods; a perfect little home for her if she remodeled it.

Yeah, clean up a few needles here, bury a few bodies there, mop up some blood... Actually no, the only pool of blood here was the one she was inside of. But...yeah, this could be a nice base to rest in.

With her telekinesis this would be far too easy.

Lifting the freshest corpse up and thinking for a moment, Andrea grinned. "I have an idea, let's make a Stand by Me situation." She threw the corpse far out into the forest, as far as she could with her powers. She heard neary a crack miles off.

It was in this way that she disposed of all the bodies, tossing them far into random directions into the wilderness...

Hal

Floating high in the sky he looked down upon everything, it all was so soft and dreamlike. He looked around happily. Below him a redhead lifted and threw dead bodies. To his left a punk rocker began putting up posters. To the right of him a man worked at a forge. If he looked back to where he was, a girl attempted to lift a bus a few more times before giving in.

Finally, where he started, when he was hoping for his dream to be more.. wet, and had looked in to the girls dormitory hoping to see a girl in a compromising position he instead found a girl playing with her squirrel.

No not like that, unfortunately. She was playing with her pet squirrel...

Kathrine

Blinking rapidly, Robbie was quite confused.

"You talk to animals?" He questioned

"Ye."

"And you use this to talk to this squirrel, exclusively?" He continued, looking incredulous.

"Ye."

"Y-you do know that there are WAY more interesting animals to talk too, like monkeys?"

"Yeah but, I like my squirrel."

"Whatever. Do you want to join our group of heroes, I guess we could use someone who can talk to animals.."

"Sure." Kathrine said. "We can save the world together! I'm thinking, global warming.." She said, nuzzling her squirrel.

Author's note: Sorry for not updating in a bit guys, just wanted to give everyone a chance to review, I had another thing planned for this chapter but it can wait until the next chapter, speaking of which, since we're on chapter seven now, I'm thinking that by ten Episode One will be over, and I'll begin on Episode Two, which will be a slightly more in-depth thing than One. As this Episode is mostly to introduce the characters and set up some things.

One of my reasons for not writing till now is Andrea, I didn't like were I was going with her and wanted to make a bit of an alteration, mostly things in future though, so nothing already established will be erased.

Now I'm kinda tired, so I'm gonna do the reviews and be done.

Oh! But what did you think about the things I set up? Tell me in the reviews.

Swagman: Is that all characters or are there still ones to be introduced?

Me: Nah there's still one more, Adelaide.

The Pocketwatch Ripper: A storm is a-brewin I see. See we got the whole brainwash thing going on. Glad to see where ot goes. Also didn't mention thia but it's nice to aee Landon in with the "good" folk.

So I'll assume that last part about woth Catherine ia foreshadowing? If it isn't ... I wouldn't care. But to see it would be nice also I love Landon's little cameos. Seems he's a bit of a gamer too which I don't mind. I'll love to see where tje manipulation goes. Also aa for shipping? It's to soon to pick something like that old Selena Gomez song I'll let it come naturally

Me: The part with Cathrine is more humorous than foreshadowing, it's supposed to reference the other characters in the story. Shipping? Too Early?! It's never too early!

...Maybe it is a bit early, I was just curious I'll ask again in the future.

fireandicephoenix: interesting.

can't wait to see what happens next.

Me: You will be quite entertained my friend.

Well that's it then so,

Until Next Time True Readers!
