A Fight with the Camp Staff Occurs
They woke to sounds of a truck. They saw that the ranger staff was driving around. It was odd that they were in the same section as Marc and Alana. That site has been left for the dead. But they figured they were making their rounds and just checking on things. Sometimes people abandoned autos and dumped trash here. Sad.
Driving the truck was the idiot who destroyed parts of Marc’s childhood. Alana was washing up with water from one of their canteens. This site’s water and electric was turned off in the 90s. The two of them brought in all the supplies they needed to survive. They did purify some of the water from a stream. They bathed in the lake. At least they bathed.
Marc saw the guy get out of his truck. The two eyed each other. Marc was told he wasn’t supposed to be at this site. Marc told the guy where to go. He responded by coming after Marc with a shovel. Marc laughed.
Pomegranates shot out of Marc’s hands and eyes. Barley followed. The shovel-carrying ranger fell. Marc laughed. He kept firing. The ranger started crying. Marc asked him why he destroyed parts of his former campgrounds. The guy was shaking and too scared to answer.
Marc was usually mild-mannered and peaceful, and he only used his powers to protect those being attacked. But he felt like this was using them in self-defense. He believed he had been attacked and would stop at nothing to make sure the attacker was down for the count.
The ranger started to cry. Marc pelted him with more barely. Alana was oblivious. She was too busy dealing with her hair and texting Marc’s mom to see how her twins were doing.
Marc finally stopped. He told the idiot he fought with never to cross him again. The guy, hysterical and crying, shook his head in the affirmative. Marc walked away and poured a bowl of Frosted Flakes.
