After the light faded, what appeared was Felicia and Cole.
"That was a bit lackl.u.s.ter..."
"What did you expect it to be?"
"Well..."
"I thought I would feel some weird mind twisting during the teleport..."
"Oh yeah, Cole please put on this headband"
"?"
As Felicia said this, she pulled out two white headbands that were used to connect the cushions of a pair of headphones.
Cole a.s.sumed that it was so that people wouldn"t be weirded out by them.
*CLICK*
When Cole put them on his head, he could hear some kind of clicking sound. Felicia had also already but on the white headband.
"Wait, what should I do about the metal frame around my face?"
"Oh! I didn"t think of that!"
Felicia was used to going out by herself and it was only the Combat-type Mechanicas that had metal frames around their faces.
Since Felicia was a Support-type, she didn"t have to worry about something like that.
"Hmmm... You could put on a mask but... Are you fine with that?"
"Why not? I"ll just say I have a cold. It should still be winter there and all, right?"
Cole gave Felicia a rea.s.suring smile which quickly caused her to shy her head away.
"I guess you"re right..."
Felicia took out a black face mask and helped Cole put it on.
Even with half his face covered, just Cole"s eyes alone would make anyone fall into them.
He even looked like a disguised K-Pop Idol.
"Shall we?"
Cole offered his arm to Felicia to which she happily clung on to.
"We shall!"

「Hey.」
"..."
「Hey, Eva.」
"What?"
「Is Felicia your mom or what? I"m like, really confused about that.」
"*sigh*..."
Shortly after the couple (not yet) had left, Eva was forced to engage in a conversation with Val.
The reason why it was "forced" was because Eva wanted to only focus on her cereal. Since the flakes getting soggy was the worst thing that could happen.
"I don"t know."
「How about Cole? Does he know?」
"Nope. He has a bad memory. And this was even before he fell off a cliff."
「Is that so...」
While Val started to have deep thoughts over his short conversation, Eva only had one simple thought in her head.
"They"re soggy now..."

3 Hours Later
-------------------
"Let"s see... We got the eggs, chicken, pork, and vegetables..."
"We also made sure to get Eva"s ice cream, cookies, brownies..."
"We also made sure to buy more bath supplies too..."
On the sidewalk of a street somewhere in New York, a place where people of different walks of life gather in this zone of ability users was a pair of a man and a woman.
The woman had black hair styled into a hime-cut that reached until her waist. She had snow-white skin and an oval face. Clear, light-grey eyes that went well with her black hair. Pink cherry lips.
The kind of woman that any man would love and be proud to have (According to a recent survey by TOP 10 HOT AND BEAUTIFUL MAGAZINE).
There were a few paper bags hanging on her right arm and her left was holding a piece of paper that could be a.s.sumed to be a shopping list.
Behind her was a man that looked like he came straight out of a photo shoot.
He had soft, and slightly messy silver hair, black eyes that seemed to pull you right in and had a similar pair of headphones sitting on his head.
He was pretty tall at about 180 centimeters and he had a lean and slender body that many women would fantasize about. It was a shame that half of his gorgeous visage was covered, but it instead made him look like a disguised idol.
He was carrying multiple paper bags that held different daily necessities in each one. He was peeking over the woman"s shoulder to look at the list.
Although most women and men would sigh and grit their teeth in jealousy, they would also be grateful for the fluffy scene.
You would obviously already know this by now, but the duo was Cole and Felicia. And although that is how they would appear to outsiders, a certain bunny would strongly disagree.
They were going over the things they had bought and were planning to go home already. They were pa.s.sing by a famous bank when a black van pulled up and 3 men wearing black ski masks exited out of it.
As for the Cole that obviously noticed this and the Felicia that didn"t, Cole had decided to ignore the bank heisters.
What? Since he"s the protagonist and he"s really strong he should stop the bank heisters?
Well, if you were out shopping one day together with your dear one and you noticed that evil people were about to perform a bank heist, would you personally stop them?
No. You would phone the police.
First of all, they were currently in the , where everybody had . Who knows what kind of abilities they had. It was better to let the professionals in charge take care of it.Second of all, he had a feeling that something bigger would happen instead of a measly old bank heist.
And he was right.
Before the bank heisters could even open the gla.s.s door to the bank, an explosion ruptured a few streets ahead of them.
And that wasn"t the only one.
Seven more explosions detonated throughout New York, buildings started catching on fire, shops were obliterated.
People started running, children started crying, the orange flames and black smoke quickly dyed the sky with its colors.
But that wasn"t the end of it.
It wasn"t that long after the explosions before gunfire resounded throughout NYC.
No matter what age or gender the person was, they desperately tried to use their ability to escape from the place in dread of being shot.
Glows of blue, green, red, white and many other various colors started to shine. After that, barriers were brought up, streaks of wind would trail behind escapees, stone pillars would rise from the concrete pavement, many other similar happenings occurred across the city.
People would a.s.sist children 5 and below due to them not awakening their ability yet.
Even the bank heisters went back in the car and hurriedly drove away in fear
"*sigh*... It really does have a high crime rate..."
"What shall we do, Master Steward?"
Cole was slightly startled at the sudden name change. He took a look at Felicia"s delicate face and saw that it was twisted into a grim and serious expression.
"Looks like I"m gonna be a hero..."
Cole dropped the paper bags he was holding which Felicia skillfully caught and placed them in her along with her baggage."Still... I think the previous Cole"s ability was a bit overpowered..."
Cole stretched his body for a bit before moving his hand in an upward motion.
The leftover metal beams from buildings started floating and gravitated towards his position.
Pieces of jewelry, empty soda cans, coins from under that vending machine you got your canned carbonated sugar water from.
Manholes, trashed cars, more cars.
As long as it was made out of something that could be called metal, it floated towards Cole.
