You drop down to the street as you enter your neighborhood: MC's Eastern Fringes, which consists mostly of public housing projects, pawnshops, and liquor marts. Despite its lack of charm, the Fringes are still home, so you start to relax as you approach your apartment building.
A loud crunch of glass snaps your senses to attention. Half a block up you spot a body that has been thrown through the windshield of a car. A teenage boy with writhing snakes coiled around his outstretched arms stands on the sidewalk nearby.
Before you can even blink, the body in the windshield leaps into the sky. It's another teenage boy whose woolly knees bend backward, like a goat's.
Slugger, you curse to yourself—another animal gang fight. The Eastern Fringes are home to a large portion of the animalistic Powered population, widely known to have the most interspecies tension. There's an especially fierce feud between two local Ani-gangs, The Cloven and The Scales.
As goat-boy bounds through the air, snake-boy reacts. His arm-snakes surge forward, straightening their impossibly long bodies and clamping on to goat-boy's thighs with their teeth. Snake-boy then whips his arms back, using the snakes as levers to smash goat-boy into the pavement.
Knowing goat-boy won't be able to survive much more snake-thrashing, you run toward the scene and…
You're on snake-boy so fast, he doesn't even see you coming.
In addition to your flight Powers, you also have the ability to generate and wield surges of energy.
Which Power set do you want to utilize here?
Palms facing outward, you concentrate on activating your energy Powers. You feel a familiar pressure build up in your forearms and with one push, a burst of energy erupts from your hands.
The blast connects with snake-boy's torso, knocking him into a nearby wall.
