Chapter 36 - Unfortunate Encounters

Jax Cypher and Knox Brickman were having a terrible two weeks. Everything had started great, a big blue box appears in the sky, everybody gets the chance to earn superpowers, laws don't exist, a criminal's paradise. At least that's how Knox felt about everything. He had been a runner in the Twilight Market for, going on, ten years now and the chance for less regulation and more power was like a light at the end of the tunnel. For Jax on the other hand, a recent cashier at the local Kwik Mart, he was just trying to survive and would rather be the one out hunting people rather than be hunted himself.
