Morning rose with a distinct sent in the air. Three years post-Flare and most still can't get used to it. It was a rusty pugnant smell that usually didn't make you want to hop on out of bed. A worn down mattress and bedframe creaked as Connor rolled over, still fully clothed. Conduit or not, sleeping on a nasty mattress can't be healthy for anyone.<br/><br/>Connor sat slumped over the edge of the bed and looked down over the side of the railing. He slept on the top platform of a run down metal warehouse and he always glanced over to make sure no one was around. One could never be too careful these days.<br/><br/>After a big stretch and a yawn, Connor made his way to the edge of the grated platform. It was completely demolished and severed from the rest of it that lay in ruins on the other side. With one final stretch, Connor hopped on to a metal rail that sat diagonally against the wall and led to the ground. His hands sparked with vibrant blue colors and he kept his balance as he slid down to the bottom. Ever since the discovery of his powers he used them whenever possible to find new uses for them. But before he could get into his normal morning practice, a loud disturbance outside caught his attention.<br/><br/>A woman begged for her life as two grungy hooded muggers circled her like sharks waiting for the kill strike. Not what Connor had in mind as far as a morning practice, but close enough. He slid the massive metal door open and stepped outside. The sound of the door had already caught the thug's attention.<br/><br/>"Morning fellas. I woke up a bit grouchy today so I'm only going to say this once: Leave her alone..." The thug's glanced at each other than laughed, stepping towards Connor. The light revealing their mutilated faces.<span style="font-style: italic">Mutants...wonderful...</span>Connor thought to himself. The first thug licked his lips, growled then began a fast sprint towards Connor. The other, like a mirrored image, did the same thing on the other side, attempting to come at Connor from both sides running on the large walls of metal and junk that was laying about.<br/><br/>A flash of white and blue burst out of Connor's eyes and he crossed his hands in front of his chest, sparking with embers of electricity. In an instant, Connor swung his arms out to their respective sides and sent a massive static wall of electricity that smashed into the two thugs, dropping them to the ground instantly, convulsing from the shock. Connor slowly walked towards their twitching bodies and held a hand over each of their heads.<br/><br/>"Welcome to Haven f*ckers..." A bright flash of lightning burst from both his hands, kicking up dust everywhere. When it all cleared, Connor walked away from the headless bodies back to his warehouse.
