Infamous 2: Setting Sun

Chapter 15: Past Decisions & Those Who Trespassed Against Us

After force hours have passed, Militia were gone, Cassie pulled Cole back onto his feet and helps him walk out of the storm drain and back onto solid ground, Cole had his hand pressed to his wound as he was leaning his weight against Cassie as she was walking slowly to the road. They then stop against the tree then looks back at the truck where Wolfe's body was still at, then they looked away, Cassie then helps Cole up the drain than onto the street, he staggers a little, but she held her grip and pulls him back up. "Cole, Cassie. Cole, Cassie, you there?" Zeke asks on the other line, the stop and Cassie answers the phone. "Yeah, we're here," she answers him and helps him walk across the street and into the alley. "What the hell happened?" Zeke asks them.

Cassie then leans Cole against the wall and slowly slides him down so he sat on the ground, then sat down next to him and places her hands over his side. "The Militia got the better of us. Captured Kuo, killed Wolfe," she answers him and tries to heal Cole's wound. "Dead?" Zeke asks them and Cole looks away with regret in his eyes. "Zeke, listen. Neither of us wants to talk right now, but... but we'll see you soon." she tells him as she sniffles. Then she hangs up the phone and then finished healing the wound and she sat there with her hands on her lap and her head hung. Cole looks at her and saw that she tears forward in her eyes, Cole reaches his hand out and tilts up her chin making her look at him. Cassie didn't fight him as she lifted her head up and tears stream down her cheek, Cole moves his hand on her cheek and then wipes a tear away with his thumb, he then pulls her into his arms and she grips tightly onto him, he rubs her back and shushes her. She just cried silently feeling that she failed again, she failed to protect someone.

After 3 hours of crying to themselves, they pick themselves up and walks through the alleys and ran into a few of the Militiamen, rage boils through Cassie's blood and she then charged forward, Cole followed closely behind her, they fired electric bolts at them and showed no mercy to them, then after pinning them to the ground. Cole and Cassie felt power surge through their bodies once more. New tattoos appeared on their backs, Cole's were red chains that spiraled down as some of the links were broken as blue lightning bolts striking them as Cassie's were blue angel wings, that stretched from the top to the bottom of their back, on the sides of their necks were small lighting bolts. They both exhaled as they felt more... powerful more in control of themselves.

She then looks down at then, snarls at them and then turns away, Cole said nothing as he too was glaring down at them and he too turns away and left them there, cassie just exhales as she still felt the anger inside of her, Cole looks down at her and places his arm on her shoulder, she looks up at him and exhales, he just rubs her shoulder, but then a woman in the alley waves them down, they both looked at her and then they crossed the street and entered the alley, standing in front of her. "My mother was in Empire City, she would have starved to death without your help!" she tells them, then kissed Cole on the lips and Cassie on her cheek, this surprised them and they looked at her, she blushed, burying her face in her hands then turns away, Cassie couldn't help but smile. "Thank you," she said to the woman and she turns back to her. "For what?" she asks and Cassie looks at her, "For cheering me up, I've been down for a while, but I guess I just needed someone to remind me that I can save people." Cassie answers her, the woman's face rivaled that of a cheery, "You two are good people." she tells them then turns and ran away, giggling like a schoolgirl.

The two couldn't help but laugh. "Whoa. Whoa. Hey, I shared my food. Some of it. Where's my kiss?" Zeke whines on the other line, the two just laughed and she ends the call.

Cassie was more cheerful in her walk, a glow radiated around her, Cole smiles at her and wraps his arms around her, hugging her as they walked. But then a woman waves at that, making Cole let go and they jog up to her.

By the look on her face, she was not very happy with what she has to say to them, "Is something the matter?" Cassie asks her, "Those Militia sinners are having a party at the Cathedral." she informs them and they both gasped in shock with her mouths hanging open. "Defacing an important landmark. Won't you please clear them out." she asks them, and Cassie inhales sharply, "There is crossing the line and there is going too far. They went too far this time." she states and Cole nods, "Let's go kill some Militia bitches." Cole growls as he cracks his knocks, making electricity crackle on his hands. They both walk past her and ran right for the cathedral, they ran past the gate, then up the steps and stop at the base and climbs up the wall and into the lower roof, Cassie looks to her side and saw some of the Militiamen, she charged at them as Cole pulls himself up onto the bell tower, Cassie cracks her whip then she twist her arm and then send them flying off the Cathedral, she pants as she walks over to the ledge and saw that none of them were ever going to get back, she then heard screaming and gunfire. Then she looks up and saw a bunch of them flying off and fell to their deaths.

She smirks and looks back up at Cole, he pants, placing his amp back on his back, then dusting off his hands and then looks down at her and gave her the two figure salute at her, she smirks and cracks her whip back around her waist and then she jumps down as Cole jump from the top roof, rolls then ran forward and jumps back onto the ground.
