He had to take solace in the sewers.

There weren’t any other options, and the police certainly weren’t going to get him just yet. He had only just managed to get out of the situation when he heard the explosion. He had woken up minutes later down here in the sewers as was expected. It seemed that the cops themselves haven’t followed him down from here, which he was relieved by. He wasn’t going to go back to juvi yet again, and certainly not for this. He had struggled his way through the server, he saw the light and they were clearly illuminating, but…he could only see the dark, his vision was blurring with black patches and was slowly shrouding him.

He stopped and kneeled on the ground that was when he saw his hand.

Nothing but darkness.

His eyes widened in horror as he began to scream, was his losing his body, what did those cops do to him….Wait…was it the cops…No.

The supply.

It was becoming clear to him that it wasn’t mere weapons, but something more…They had set him up, everyone had set him up. Just like his mother did, just like everyone else, he wasn’t going to take this anymore.

Not like he physically could at least, as consciousness would slowly be robbed of him.

Later.

His vision began to return, eyes slowly began to open as he turned to look around. Only to see freaks, and a lot of them. The first to watch his eye was a humanoid bird-like figure Yellow feathers but the clothes, the red hair Ebon noticed that voice immediately.

[b][color=003471]“Te…Teresa?!”[/color][/b]

The cheerleader from Class 2F, she was considered at one point to be one of the “dimes.” Of the school, an amazing singer she was also the class valedictorian unless she disappeared one night never to be heard from again. However, if Ebon was anything he was blunt and he made that known the instant he stared at her. He snapped out of his shock and snapped into his snark

[b][color=003471]“Did Halloween come early this year, or did you get feathered again?”[/color][/b]

She…did not take this well, she went for a swing on him, only for her entire hand to go through him. Not even a hint of damage. She snarled and shown her talons. If she couldn’t deal with him physically, let’s see how he reacted emotionally.

[color=fff200]“What ‘bout you Ivan, Look like someone tarred you up real good.”[/color][/b]

Ebon stared at her in fury as she used his actual name, but took her words in confusion, until he stared at a nearby mirror. In a panic he ran toward it, getting a clear view to see if it was actually him. Sadly, it seemed that it was definitely the case. His body was now completely purple and black, like a shadow that seemed to never end, his body had no fixed form, he could only now see his iris-less eyes and the outlines of his body and hair.

[color=f26522]“Welcome to the freak show Ebon.”[/color][/b]

Ebon turned around another familiar voice from school, this time one he absolutely loathed.

[color=003471][b]“Francis…The fuck are you doing here, preppy?”[/b][/color]

[color=f26522][b]“Enjoying the show, I haven’t seen coonery like that since the riots.”[/b][/color]

That was enough to set Ebon way off. He was set to run toward the flamed haired male who was now smiling at him and grabbed his red shirt. Once he did so, Francis kept that same smug smile. Ebon nearly stepped back once Francis hair suddenly lit aflame.

[color=f26522]“Be careful Ebon, I’m hot to the touch.”[/color][/b]
[b]
[color=9e0b0f]“Can we…we stop now.?”[/color][/b]

It was a little voice, and thus one Ebon ignored but one Teresa took full attention to. Two twins, young twins who seemed to be shaking in panic from the argument that the two on edge individuals have been participating in.

[b][color=fff200]“They’re right, we need to calm down and relax, Alva is expecting you Ebon.”[/color][/b]

Ebon stared at them all with a sneer.

[color=004b80][b]“Alva? I have no time for this, I need to get out of here and find that fucking snake Leon.”[/b][/color]

[b]“Sir, you will have all the time in the world for that.”[/b]

A door in the sewer opened revealing a wild-haired man, large spectacles, and a ratty long white coat. He looked wired, like…straight up nutty from the sight. Which was something that set Ebon alert he backed up and frowned.

[b]“No, Don’t. I’m here to help, you have been granted something extraordinary, something that can be used to change your life for the better.”[/b] Alva held his hands out and stared at Ebon. [b]“Look, I can explain to you what’s going on, but it’s going to be a long explanation…Do you think you can sit through it?”[/b]

Ebon stared at him for a quick second, not saying much. One instance this merely seemed like a waste of time. However, as he looked down at his hand only to see nothing but pools of darkness. He determined to entertain him.

[color=003471][b]“Aiight, you have 10 minutes.”[/b][/color]
