Susan stands in place dumbstruck when the children are served a single hotdog cut in half. The elderly are served two and the rest are put on a tray and taken to the building diagonally opposite the mall.
"Are you going to take our kindness with such a knife in our backs, whatever your name is." Colin says sitting down to let the meat simmer on the fire.
Susan gulps, "I want to make sure things are fair."
Colin roles his eyes, "When the Infected come in, you not making it to the bunker in time is your fault."
Susan crosses her arms, "You were sleeping inside all along."
"We weren't getting attacked then, and we just moved here. We have to adapt to our surroundings." Colin responds.
Susan walks away grabbing a hotdog. She's never seen or tasted one.
Luna enjoys it smiling in her mind, the memories of all the food she tasted with her father vivid as ever.
Toya smiles seeing her back to her normal self again, "Monitor spotted people coming this way. They said they are moving into town. I think they expect us to feed them."
Luna nods, "Who will? A time is coming when people will break and enter each others houses for food. They come here we give them food, in return when the Infected come everyone comes together and fights."
Mira joins the conversation with Sarah holding food for them, "Oh, like Royalty. We should send the rats away for good."
Sarah smiles, "Oh, I'd love to join in." She says hoping to get in the in crowd.
"What powers do you have?" Mira asks.
Sarah giggles, "I can walk through things, like walls and shields."
Luna nods her head, "That how you stole food from other camps?"
Sarah nods enthusiastically and her face drops cold, she clears her throat and looks at everyone expecting them to have horrified faces.
"See, proves my point. Food and supplies have run out. People will force big camps to move so they can raid what's left." Mira says not knowing her eyes were glowing, because usually when they glow everyone disappears and she sees visions, this time there was no vision at all.
Toya stands up and calls all the youths for a meeting in the parking lot. Combined with Murasaki generation 1, there are now a total of 14 youths.
With the edition of Sharon who can regress his physical body. June who can control the water and generate water. Split who can make multiple versions of himself. Sarah who can walk through anything.
"Alright, according to the rador, people are moving from the west to the east. We should make a path that forces them out that way, they should frantically drop into the river, however they always come back." Mira says.
Split looks at June and his eyes widen all too himself, "What's the one thing we have in common with the infected?" He ask everyone at random.
Everyone thinks really hard about the answer and shake their heads, they can't think of one thing.
"Water!" Split exclaims, "We drink the same kind of water, imagine if we poisoned the water supply with liquid air purifier. On the way to the water supply we leave a bunch of mist purifiers in all the abandoned buildings nearby forcing them to run in one direction purposely leaving a single escape route."
Jet tackles Split with a hug, "You genius." He says and stands up helping Split up, "What will we drink then?"
Split points to June, "He generated water at only 3 years old, so now he's pretty powerful. If we can get a large water tank where everyone gets their water from and come out of their houses with blue mist purifiers since they are more potent we could get a clean supply of water."
"What about the masked Infected?" Mira asks.
"Easy." Split says with a wave of his hand, "We cover up the entire area, from the water firm to the entrance that says welcome to Stark. We also keep out people coming from outside and infected all in one. You guys can do that with the nano walls right?" Split asks after his explanation.
Rex nods, "Yeah, that could work, but how are we gonna get clean air? Purifiers do not generate air, they just eat up the toxins in the air."
Split points at Aira, "He's been looking for a training exercise worth his while. The purifier sucks up all the toxins he generates air, they drink the water they die."
Luna raises her hand, "An acid storm will be here in a week or maybe 2, we're not doing this alone this time. We'll have the adults handle this operation and they will ask for our help if they need it. We're too weak to risk our lives on this mission. It might take days getting there. The ugly mutants may be in the water firm as we speak, our powers are too inconsistent to."
Sarah's smile drops, "There must be something only we can do?"
"Yeah, the adults will decide what they can't do. Let's take this to them." Luna says.
Toya and Rex volunteer to go talk to the adults while the others carry on as usual.
