The difference between the good guys and the bad guys
Having escaped the crowds Joesph looked back and forth to each of the people on the streets with a tinge of disgust. They all buried themselves into there tech many oblivious to the world around them. Their minds in his eyes brainwashed to care little for anything but the small little screens they tapped away at. "Such a culture to have no regards for the world around them. Nay they have let these foul machines rule their lives" Joe muttered tapping the mace at his side a few times. A small spark arcing from his fingers to the metal head of the weapon. An emp would do the trick he thought for a moment. To help these people take back themselves but aside from books and stories told by the shaman's he was not sure how to create such a thing.
Is whether they use a human shield or make themselves one.

"Well, my gps told me to cut through here...it said the best way to reach my destination is to cut through the junkyard... " He said as he walked. "I'm heading to the Genesis building...I have a meeting with the CEO there for a position in the programming department..." He said simply a she looked at his phone. "Though i do suppose it could be a glitch.." He said tapping the screen as he sighed and closed his eyes. "I wish i had a door there or something...." Suddenly the phone's glowed a faint purple and then the screen started flashing different shades of purple. "Ow!" Evan cried out of he threw his phone on the ground infront of them and put his finger in his mouth. "******** thing got hot as hell!" He said as his phone started to flip out on the ground front of them.

Daren stopped and let out a low whistle as he watched the phone flip out on the ground. "I don't know what kind of apps you've been installing on that thing but you might want to see about getting it scanned or something." he should probably be a little more weirded out by things like this, but he could command metal and fire, so it didn't really phase him.

It's never done that before!" He looked as his hands as they glowed purple" And neither has this!!!" He said worried. The phoe buzzed and sizzled and suddenly squares in different shades of purple shot up form the screen and built a door. "Umm....that's a door..right? Like you didnt drug me somehow did you?" He muttered pointing at it as a loud banging started coming from behind it. "Aaannd that banging....what the hell is that?!" He gulped as the door began to bulge forward as if whatever was knocking was trying to break it down.

"Like I'd waste my stash on some random prep!...I mean no!" Daren objected to the accusation thrown against him, although s**t was starting to get weird even for his tastes. "What the hell did you do?!" he started to back away from the door and whatever was trying to break through. Yanking Evan back behind him, he got in a fighting stance as a pair of claws shot out from his gloves, a set he made himself from scrap metal after becoming leader of the gang.

"I-I don't know! Everything has been weird since that weird dream last night!" He said as he began thinking of his dream. Wisdom and opening doors....was this a door he was meant to open or something?! He gulped as the door began to crack as it began to glitch out and static, 1's, and 0's began to show on the door. "That's...data?!" He said surprised before looking at his phone. "The phone's system...." He muttered as the door blasted apart. "It's the latest version....The Genie!" He said as two large hands grabbed the door way and a small purple lamp landed on the ground. A plume of purple smoke billowed from it and a large Genie wearing a purple vest with purple pupil-less eyes stood before them. "UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY DETECTED. The genie looked down at Daren "VIRUS DETECTED. MUST TERMINATE!"The Genie called out as it pulled its fist back and got ready to punch at the thug.

Daren inhaled deeply before breathing a blast of fire at the genie and rolling out of the way to get some distance. "What's this 'unauthorized entry' bullshit?! I never tried to enter your stupid door, I was just standing here!!" Somehow that was what he took issue with rather than any of the madness that was taking place. "Dude, it's your phone! Can't you wrangle this thing back in it or something?!" he snapped at Evan. "I do street brawls, not inter-dimensional super showdowns!!"

Evan began thinking. "umm...." He kept thinking about his dream and about his past." Uhhh.....M-maybe!?" He looked at his phone and things seemed to click. "I-I know what this is...." He said to himself. "Though...i DIDN'T KNOW DATA WAS AN ACCEPTABLE FORM!!?!?" He yelled as he grabbed his head. The Genie grunted as the blast toke off it's right arm though it began to repair itself. The Genie aimed another punch at Daren as Evan ran infront of Daren with his arms opened wide. "ADMINISTRATIVE COMMAND: END PROCESS!!" He yelled out as the genie's fist stopped inches from Evan's body "ADMINISTRATOR RECOGNIZED....WELCOME; MASTER EVAN...COMMAND ACCEPTED. ENDING CURRENT PROCESS." The genie stood up straight as Evan ran for his phone. He grabbed it and grunted as he squeezed it with both of his hands shattering it in his hands. The door flickered as it turned into purple squares. The Genie also broke down into purple squares which seemed to circle Evan. They stopped and dove into him making Evan yell out in pain as he fell to the ground once all the squares were in him making his body glow a faint purple.

Daren had stumbled back and fell to the ground when Evan suddenly jumped in front of him. "Holy s**t...Hey, hey are you alright?!" he said scrambling over to Evan. "God, you better not be dead...I'm not taking a murder rap for this!" he said starting to shake the boy.

Evan wasn't breathing but soon jolted up gasping loudly as he coughed and grabbed his head. "Y-yeah...." He said rubbing his arm. He cringed as he rolled up his sleeve revealing a long tribal marking that looked like a hot iron brand on his arm. It glowed purple before turning black before Evan sighed. "Yea...sorry about that..." He said as he pulled his sleeve down. "I didn't think that this would ever happen to me..." He muttered as he looked at the ground sighed. "And it was a total burden to you...I'm really really sorry!" He said as he stood up and brushed himself off before hissing in pain. He looked at his hands which were severely cut up from crushing his phone in his hands. "Great...my day keeps getting worse and worse..." He sighed before looking at Daren. "Listen, I don't expect you to take me to the other side of the junkyard...,especially after that, but....." He said before showing him his hands. "Could you wrap these for me?" He asked quietly before laughing nervously.

Daren rolled his eyes. "Why does everyone seem to think gang members are little more than antisocial psychopaths?" he said as he took off his coat and began tearing it into strips, revealing a well built body underneath and a similar tattoo to Evan's on his arm, along with the fire like pattern along his forearm. "Just because I make my living breaking the law doesn't mean I don't have a soul. s**t went down and you got ******** up. Been there, done that, got the ink to prove it." he said as he began wrapping Evan's hands. "Not sure if you needed to smash your phone into plastic confetti, but damn if it wasn't hardcore. Didn't think a pointdexter like you would have it in you." he said with a smirk.

Evan blinked. "Well...what happened is what my family refers to as. 'substance bonding' it requires the person to destroy the source of the substance once as bond is made...." He said simply as he looked at Daren's body and tattoo. "It's something I thought would never happen to me...my town's shaman said it wouldn't. I lacked something..." He muttered sighing. "Drive...Faith...'Essence'? I don't know..." He said shrugging. "It's why I left and came here...my entire town practiced voodoo or magic or something, believing that it'd bring us happiness. I studied computers and machines." He said chuckling. "Soo....do you live here?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Not a fine place to, you know, call home...If i may say! Not trying to offend or anything like that...especially since you have claws.." He said laughing nervously again. "Shiit...I'm going to piss off the gang leader who has metal claws...he's pulling Wolverine realness right now..." He thought as he looked at the ground and gulped.

"So this s**t's actually normal for your family or whatever?" Daren let out another low whistle as he settled down on the ground, leaning back and enjoying a break after that early morning adrenaline rush. "Daaaang, at least you had some idea of what was happening then. Just one street brawl and suddenly BOOM! I'm part Human Torch, part Magneto, and all awesome." he said before realizing he still had his claws out. "Ah, these things? Sorry 'bout that." he said holding one up as he retracted the claws, looking like a pair of harmless gauntlets or gloves that he was wearing now. "And the scrap yard's a good as home as any. Better than the alternative at least." he said with a shrug. "But enough about me," he stood up and dusted himself off. "Keep this line of conversation going and you really might piss yourself in terror, and you don't wanna be going to a job interview in soiled pants." he joked and extended a hand to help Evan back to his feet.

Evan chuckled as toke the hand up and stood up before brushing himself off. "Well..I don't know if I should go through with the interview. and it's not normal...only those who have some weird realization can do it...I don't know if I've had one..though." He said as he sighed. "Besides...I don't know how to get there and with my hands all cut up? well....Not a great first impression" He said laughing abit. "Besides...It's not even noon and already this day went south fast..." He muttered before adjusting his messenger bag. "wait..you said you woke up and you were like that?" he asked raising his eyebrow. "I've been reading about weird stuff happening in the world....maybe this has to do with that or something. Or my weird dream...." he inquired and shrugged. "Just ignore me, my ramblings are crazy" He said smiling.

"No no, back up there. Rewind. Weird dream?" Daren raised an eyebrow at him. "Define 'weird'. Whole 'nother story here if that wasn't those taquitos talking to me. Mysterious voice in a dark cave? Some nonsense about an ancient world and an incredibly vague 'role' to fulfill? Bright freaking light?" This was the second time he'd had the dream, but this time it was like the voice was giving him a reminder. First time he had it was the day he realized his powers, just like Evan.
