The world had changed, there was no doubt about that - the population was much smaller for a start, and made up entirely of metas. The McRory virus had been devastating, not only emotionally, but also physically - for all the superpowers of the surviving population, the world had been brought to its knees, and was only just now struggling back to it's feet.

Some things though, Andre mused, remained much the same. Cities, for instance. They all had reasonably safe areas, where a person wouldn't think twice about walking down the street at night, but then there were areas like this. The neighborhoods where the criminal element thrived.

Andre was lounging on the steps of a building, just keeping an eye out for trouble, when he spotted her in the sparse streetlight. He wondered what she was doing there. She was slender, but she didn't look like a junkie, seemed too clean cut to belong in this part of town, and from the uncertain way she was looking at the street signs and frowning, he could tell she was out of her element. Lost, perhaps. A leash dangled from one hand, but if she had a dog, it was nowhere in sight. He recalled seeing a dog running by a few minutes previous, chasing after a cat.

She seemed completely oblivious to the two thugs stalking her in the shadows. It was Andre's job to arrest criminals by allowing them to commit crimes, and then catching them in the act, but he couldn't let some poor girl get attacked just so he could collar the perpetrators.

He shifted on the steps, leaning out of the shadows, and into the light so that she could see him. He didn't get up though, not wanting to make her feel threatened, "Hey pretty lady, if you're looking for your dog, perhaps I can point you in the right direction... It's one of those snow dogs, right?"
