Snippet #2525904

~ Life in the city was pretty normal for most, but crime was one of it's biggest problems. With the rest of the world in a savage state, people have turned to Union City to start something. For the most part, the criminals have never all conspired to work together, out for their own desire or interest. When SOLO appeared, the crime rate reduced by a tremendous amount, criminal's were being caught and the rest hid in the shadows for safety. SOLO is crime's worst enemy in Union City, so what is SOLO's worst enemy in this new age and time? ~

~ Earlier, with Gabriel. ~

Gabriel had returned to his job and gotten to as many patients as he could. By the end of it all, he was feeling tired and the sky had turned to night. Gabriel went to the room his boss and him usually hung out in, knocking on the door and being let in as usual. The two ended up sitting down and watching TV, both of them remaining silent for a long period of time.

"You could take tomorrow off." His boss said. "You look tired."

"I'll be fine. I just need to recover, that's all."

"Gabriel, I am growing concerned for your health. You aren't like others, every day you seem to be getting more tired." Gabriel's boss took a glass and sipped from it. "You should go to SOLO."

"Electro, why are you saying this? I have to keep working."

"Gabriel, stop fighting it. We both know you cannot stay in this city forever. You need to get out and find some way to heal, before you kill yourself." The two remained silent for several minutes, both were unable to say anything.

"You'll be fine?" Gabriel asked.

"Of course I will. I already got you an appointment, if this works out, we may find out more about your condition and be able to hep you. I'm not aiming to cure you of your powers, I aim to help you better cope with them. Please, for your own safety, go tomorrow and do not come in afterword."

~ In the morning ~

Gabriel had taken the day off, resting in his apartment and mentally preparing himself for his meeting with SOLO. Electro, you got some good connections in this city, don't you? I wish I could stay, but he's right. I'm noticing my powers are taking a heavier toll on me, I'm not like the others. I can't keep doing this forever, my powers are going to end up killing me. I hope you'll be alright Electro. Gabriel had nicknamed his own boss by Electro, due to his power, and had called him that ever since. He was about to head off for the meeting early, when his cellphone rang and it was the officer from before.

Listening to what the officer had to say, he heard the insanity and conflict Brandon had with himself. Could Brandon be broken, is he slowly dying or just turning insane? Focus, Gabriel, your next words will determine everything. "Officer, it appears that it would be best to put him in a mental ward or something, restrain him and try to cure him before he goes totally berserk. I'm sure you can handle it from here, this is all I can do for him." Once the call ended, Gabriel got on a gray suit and a black tie to go with it. Walking up to his apartment door, he looked back one more time at the apartment before putting his phone in his pocket and opening the door.
