Looking down at the ent sized people a dark figure watched them do their day to day routine, eat sleep and work. He spat, disgusted at how humans can live like animals, like they thought were free. He smiled to himself devilishly, nothing amused him more than knowing he could do one little thing to cause city wide panic.
*Beep Beep beep* he held the trigger firmly in his grasp, his thumb resting on the detonator, survival of the fittest was the only true thing in this world and it was the fit who ruled with an iron fist.
"Scream little pigs, I'm gunna blow your houses down..." he said raising the detonator in front of him. he lifted his thumb and dropped the trigger, for 5 seconds nothing happened... it as the quietest 5 seconds he'd ever heard.
A school bus on the road came crashing into a truck full of petrol causing an explosion next to a bank, a few streets down a building came crashing down with 50 or more people inside it. for hours people ran around screaming and crying, it was not long before a riot started.
"Strife..." he muttered with a creepy smile looking down at the rioters breaking windows and stealing personal belonging. The law tried everything in its power and had to use deadly means for safety "Chaos..." his eyes turned to the bank's wide open vault.
He took in a deep breath, feeding off the Strife and Chaos around him, the events set off a chain reaction causing the city turn into a warzone but it just meant more strife and chaos for him to feed off.

Atlas lived with a drunk roommate who never came out of his room, he was a photographer and made a fair wage before all this started, it had been almost a week since Judgement Day, the city was gated off because of the riots, police had been killed and lay dead in the streets of Chicago. Atlas pick up a bottle, news reports told him of the school bus a week ago heading for Bradly Middle school, among the injured was his sister, she was in a coma.
He had a black and gold katana, picking it up he swung it, the TV slid to the floor cut in two. Atlas let out a scream of anger and rage before stabbing the sword into the floor. He had been involved in a fencing group in college before he ran out of money. He stood leaving his sword in the floor, walking to his closet he opened it and on the rack on the far side was a black bullet proof vest. Slipping his black jeans on and a black and gold hoodie he opened a chest on the floor reveling a black paintball mask.
"It's time to be the hero," Atlas said, "It's time to bring the storm." He fixed the mask and tied his dark grey converse tightly around his feet. "I am Storm." He leaped out the window on to the fire escape and disappeared into the night.

It wasn't long before schools, shops, police stations and hospitals were closed. The government was pulling out all of it's funding, power was cut off too.
Crime lords took over, one by one each bit of chicago was taken over but it was said that there was an anonymous crime lord at the tallest building in the city. no one knew his name, only that he is the reason the military are afraid to raid.
Castiel ran around the corner, panting heavily, he rubbed his dilated eyes. A gang member swung his knife at him, Cas ducked under it and vaulted over a car. The thug jumped up on the stripped car. Cas grabbed his foot and pulled, throwing him off guard and watching him land backwards onto the car hood. The thug coughed and groaned, Cas didn't want to wait and see if his friends heard.
He bolted around the corner, scanning his surrounding, the darkness of the night made it hard for him to see. He made out a firer escape and didn't hesitate to climb them in hopes someone sane would help him.

The masked man stood in the window of the hospital three bloody corpses lay throughout the room, a mother who was to busy for him, a father who abused him, and a nurse. "Poor nurse," he said inspecting the smaller girl who lay in the bed. Storm picked up her charred backpack hearing the sounds of police sirens in the background of the night. It was the shape of a frogs face, he had got it for her two years ago, he smiled as he filled it with the medical bags of liquid, probably morphine. He popped three or four IV's in the backpack as well. He threw the bag over his shoulder, walking over to the little girl with the burned face. "Lets get out of here little frog."
When Storm was young he had been at his grandparents lake house away from his dull life with his failure parents, it was just him and his little sister. He saw her jumping up and down on the dock and she fell in, he knew she could not swim so he ran and jumped in the water to save her. Ever since then, Storm had had a strong sense of guardianship for her, she was his little frog.
The boy softly placed her in his arms and exited threw the door, he had to get home again. The hospital was crawling with people stealing drugs. Some man yelled at Storm about what he had in his bag and a gun shot was heard, Storm fell to one knee and almost dropped his sister. Thank goodness for the vest, he shifted the weight of the girl to his left arm and drew his sword with his right. Another bullet, this time to the chest, it didn't stop Storm, the thugs head dropped to the floor as the blades hilt hit the top of the sheath, "Now, lets get you home little frog."

Castiel was still being followed, he ran up the fire escape in hopes to lose the gang of thugs that chased him. He vaulted over the side of the railing landing on the building opposite it, he sprinted for the other side of the building, taking a deep breath as he got closer to the edge he swung his arms back thrusting them forward leaping off the edge aiming for the window of the building across from him. He brought his knees back to his chest and his arms in a cross in mid air so the glass would shatter without harming him.
He smashed through the window and rolled as he got inside the building and quickly, without hesitation, hid from the view of the building he came from. The thugs seemed to have followed him onto the roof top but stopped at the edge of the building looking through the shattered window to see if he was in there. Castiel could hear himself breath, his heart raced in his throat. The thugs stood there for a long time looking for him. He was hid next to the window edge, mustering up courage to check if the thugs had gone.
Castiel sighed in relief as he saw the thugs were gone, a bead of sweat running down the side of his face as he panted heavily, swallowing his beating heart back down to his chest. He slid down the wall to the floor relaxing a little as he panted.
CRASH
The window in the other room was smashed through, foot steps were heard hurrying to the door leading to his room. Castiel's heart was racing in his throat once more, he got up quickly until another thug came flying through the window he cam in from.
Castiel threw up a fighting stance, he saw a tv cut clean in 2 in the room he was in, it was strange but he used it to his advantage. Thrusting his foot into the stomach of the thug he tripped over at the same point the second thug came crashing in through the door. He stormed towards Castiel swinging his knife, he slashed Castiel across the chest before he had chance to react.
Cas quickly grabbed the thugs wrist, twisting it until he heard a snap then put him into a sleeper hold and choking him. Cas fell back along with the knocked out thug, the gash on his chest stung bad. He flinched as he ran his hand over it.
The first thug threw punches towards Cas getting a clean punch on his right cheek. Cas stumbled back losing balance "Stop please!" he begged "Please, why are you chasing me?!" he quickly stood up, the thug stepped closer to him with anger clear on his face
"You have something that we took!" The thug had a deep voice, he stepped closer to Cas backing him up against a wall.
"I was hungry..." Cas's eyes quickly scanned the room. His eye sight blurred for a second and felt a searing pain in head head. Cas grabbed his own hair as he screamed in pain, he felt a surge of energy run through his body. The Thug took the opportunity to attack, picking up the knife from his other thug friend, he swung it at Cas.
Everything around him slowed down he looked around and saw different outcomes for the thug and himself. Like he could see each possible course of action before actually doing it. The vase behind him could be swung at the thug and knocking him out completely. He could manipulate the force, speed and direction of the thug's swing to direct the knife into his stomach. All these out comes... he could see them all
when Cas was ready everything in the room sped up, Cas ducked under the thugs arm and slammed his fist into his stomach winding him. He spun around the thug, grabbed his head and neck from behind and snapped his neck.

Blake Ryan
Blake stubbed out of his room, and went to take a piss. He looked at his phone while he did so, no service. He was a writer and often locked himself in his room for a number of days with a bottle of scotch and a pen and paper. Hearing some commotion outside in the living room he zipped his pants up and exited, forgetting like most times to wash his hands. He past threw the kitchen and into the living room.
A little hung over he looked around, "Um, hello?" He said towards Castiel, "Are you one of Atlas's friends?"
His eyes found the bodies and he assumed Atlas lay among the dead, "Atlas!" He looked down, "How dare you..."
The earth started to shake, Military units began to drop small bombs to try and quell the rioting. One hit not to far from the house.
At this point Blake realized this was not a party gone wrong, to him it looked like the end of the world, "The hell is all this?"

Hopping from house to house was a lot harder now with a small girl in his arms, he saw the bridge was out so Storm began to walk across the brown line tracks that crossed the river. A screeching and haunting orange glow from behind him told him the train was coming, he began to run, he couldn't swim with the unconscious girl so he couldn't jump, he had to make it. "C'mon!" Storm pushed his legs to the limit, the earth shook and Storm fell, "No!" he screamed, the bombs had literally caused the Sears Tower, tallest building in Chicago to come crumbling down.
They dropped a few feet and landed on a concrete ledge that lay next to the water, the girl was ok. As the train passed Storm saw each window was broken and spewing flames from within. The tower was raining down towards them, he looked down and saw a sewer grate, there was one like this two blocks from his apartment. Odds are this one let out there. "This will be safer for us little frog," Storm whispered to his sister closing the grate behind them. It was dark, like the city he lived in, Only a mile or two walk in here into he would get to the exit, half hour and he would be home.
Boom!
Not like they could turn back anyway, the war between the military and crime lords of Chicago rages above them. "This is insane, we have to get you to safety." His converse sloshed threw the muck. Storm wouldn't lose his sister, not in this place "almost there." He lifted the grate slowly and closed it. "I need a game plan." Storm said honestly, he couldn't lets his little frog die.

Castiel panted heavily, the whole running away thing was tiresome and the lite ability thing he did, really strained his body. He stared at Blake with wide eyes not knowing how to answer his question "Chicago's been run to the ground, the military have put up electric walls around us aaaaand..." he took a deep breath to finish his sentence "Crime lords have taken over different parts of Chicago"
"Oh an-" he was cut off by the explosions, he flinched and turned to look out the window, well, there goes the Sears Tow--" he blinked and rubbed his eyes, trying to focus "unbelievable..." He mumbled staring at it wide eyed. The tower was rebuilding itself, time around the building only was being reversed. Even an eagle that was flying over the tower at that moment started to fly in reverse.

Even an eagle that was flying over the tower at that moment started to fly in reverse.
A strange feeling emanated threw Storm, he tried to pick up his sister but his hand couldn't grab her, he was passing right threw him like he was slowly becoming smoke. "What the hell?" Storm focused his mind and finally grabbed a hold of the girl, pulling them both up and out of the sewer. He walked up the back fire escape and entered his home, "Blake?" Storm whispered, "You here?"
Blake turned, "who's there?" as he turned his eyes blinked and almost out of fear his eyes began to blast a continuous beam of read heat cutting threw the wall.
Blake screamed, "What happening to me?" He closed his eyes and buried them in his hands, "What is going on in this city?"
The Sears Tower was almost fully rebuilt, maybe if that guy was controlling time he could reverse all this madness.

CAstiel ducked under the red beam, rolling to the split tv he grabbed it and redirected the beam to the smashed window "Wow! Stop before you kill someone!" he yelled, once the beam stopped, he tossed the tv and huffed "My god man! how the hell can you do that?"
Cas lickd his dry lips amd crashed on the couch, his attention turned to Atlas "Oh hi, welcome to the party" he said kicking the unconscious thug that was lying at his feet.

"Storm laid his sister on his bed after he toss the top sheet off of it, it was covered in broke glass and he didn't want to maim his already burned and hurt sister. He lowered her slowly to the bed but at the last second his arms turned to smoke and she slipped threw his finger, "damn," he apologized studying how this was happening, "I'm sorry little frog."
He drew his sword but it slipped away, "what the hell!" the sword hit the floor and slid under the bed. He tried to reach under but it was to no avail. Storm turned, "Who is this Blake? A friend of yours??"

"I came in through the building opposite the window over there" he said pointing at the window "It was a leap that I didn't think I could make" he rubbed his eyes and looked over at Atlas "where is this place?" he asked looking out the window "Why is this happening?"
"How can we do what we do?" he asked them, he demonstrated his new 'Ability' to his new found friends "I can slow down time and see all the things that I can do, like all the possible outcomes to any course of action that is remotely possible" he looked at the clock hung on the wall "It's like slowing down the present whilst I'm moving fine and being able to see the future-ish
"I can't remember... I'm trying my best" Cas said standing up, he stepped towards the sink and opened it up, splashing his face with water he stared at the water pour down the drain, just like his memories "I can't remember anything..."whispering as he started at the water pour into the sink drain "All I can remember is my name, Castiel" He slammed his palm, on the side of the basin with anger. What was weird is that he managed to dent it and leave an imprint of his hand.

Blake grabbed a news paper from the counter, "Castiel, terrorist blows up school bus and escapes..." Blake was silent and looked at the man sitting in their house on their couch. He looked back down a the paper and burned threw it unable to control his eyes again. His hand cupped over his eyes focusing his attention on Storm, "This is probably the man that..." Blake wasn't a good person, but this guy was evil even if he didn't remember the past.
Storm, even skilled with a blade, wasn't the kind of guy to jump into a fight, he killed that guy at the hospital to protect his sister. But if this guy truly had no idea what he did then he should feel guilty for doing it. Storm thought through his options using clues of what he had seen. It felt like his heart was on fire feeding smokey thoughts into his brain. If they each had powers what was his sisters? And why did the Sears Tower rebuild itself? And why did they all get these abilities at the same time?
"Take us to the Tower," Storm finally said, "If that guys powers are time, maybe we can force him to undo all of this!" If Castiel tried anything he had faith Blake would blast through him, and if the guy tried to escape, Storm would personally hunt him down. It was a test, get them to the tower and Storm would forgive him. He awaited response.

Castiel's eyes widened "Have you two gone mad!?" he approached the window "Did you not see what the hell it did!? it rebuilt itself!"he emphasised pointing at the thing whilst facing Blake and Atlas "It's going to be a fool's errand!" he rubbed his forehead in frustration, not noticing the newspaper "I can sense that you guys don't trust me, are you going to kill me like the others in the GOD FORSAKEN TOWN!" he yelled in slight anger.
He huffed "and if i don't take you? you gonna force me?" he asked crossing his arms
He huffed "and if i don't take you? you gonna force me?" he asked crossing his arms
Blake looked up from the news paper his eyes started to glow red, he had finally gotten his powers under control.
He smiled at Castiel, "If you don't guide us there I'll give you some laser eye surgery," he laughed and shot a quick blast at what remained of the television and it burst into flames.
Blake didnt know it yet but the more he used his perticular power he was slowly over heating his brain, this would in time cause him to melt his brain. He would first start to go mad, the eventually die. but he didnt know that yet as he focused his eyes toward Castiel.

(( don't forget about this royal))
"We can undo all of this, and figure out how it started!"` Storm held his anger and thoughts of revenge down. He would take Castiel's life, it was for sure. But not until time was reset. Storm would kill Castiel before he could blow up the school bus, it may be harder without powers, but he would end that child bombing bastard. "Guide us there, and I forgive you for your crimes against my family." A lie until he kills him and whisper in his ear that he is truly forgiven.
Castiel huffed and rested against the work table behind him, rubbing his eyes in utter frustration "for crying out loud!" He yelled slamming his palm into the work table only to, or is time" put his hand through it. What did he do to deserve this? Why did they want to kill him and what brought the idea of him being able to actually "control" Father Time.
"Fine, but I'm not slowing down time to save asses. If you can keep up then yay for you" he said with an angered look before leaping out of the window, his ability made it easier for him to navigate since he saw all the possibilites there were. He leaped form building to building as they made their way towards the Sears tower blind to what may lie ahead.
Castiel stood by a building opposite the tower, arms crossed as he watched the two make their way towards him slowly.
