Chapter Text
What he thought was going to be a normal day would turn out to be the most dangerous and influential day of his life.
Nathaniel was at his pet adoption place when Jessica walked in, disguised in her civilian outfit. Nate sighed and walked over to the desk, Jess coming over.
"Hello! How may I help you today?" He asked.
Jessica rolled her eyes and handed over a sheet, a contract that he would give to Thad. Sighing, he walked to his co-worker and handed it over. Thankfully, Thad knew his identity, the only normal human who did, and told him it was fine.
He walked over to Jessica, who spun her keys to her motorbike and walked out of the shop.
"So, what is it this time?" He asked, following her.
"Company's called all three of us." She shrugged, tossing him a helmet. "We're getting briefed once we're there. Don't worry about Valerie, she's got her own way of getting there."
Nate sat behind her and grabbed her waist as she revved the engine and sped down the street.
Ah, Copper City. The ninth city in the Exocity and his home. And he had the two best jobs: an animal caretaker, and the one of the city's three main defenders, as Serial Designation N, or SD-N.
Sure, the experiment to get the superpowers was a bit...violent, but it made up for it. Plus, his partners were amazing. Jessica, or SD-J, was cruel but a great leader. Valerie, or SD-V, was nice off-job, but an awesome fighter and the strongest of the three.
Together, the designators were the best members of the entire nine Exocity.
And now he could shapeshift! That was probably the best part.
The motorbike arrived at the JC Jenson base. It was disguised as an architect building, but JC just used that title to hide what happened underneath. They pulled into the carpark and got off, walking over to the large building.
They entered and immediately their employer, Miss Elliot, ran over. "J! N! You're here! C'mon, we need to go! Get changed, quick!"
"Okay, okay!" He nodded as Jessica rolled her eyes. They ran off to get changed in the lobby.
N's outfit consisted of a simple white suit with a cape that split at the end and decorated with fur at the top. He had large, spiked, army boots and the 404-bracelet brand to contact someone if something went wrong.
To disguise himself, he took off hit blonde-haired wig to reveal with white, short hair, and put on his pure black mask, virtual yellow eyes appearing over it to resemble his normal eyes.
Walking out the room, some of the employers gave him his weapons, a knife and a revolver. SD-J got changed much faster than him, with Valerie (SD-V) now also here, pushing past him to get changed herself.
Miss Elliot grinned at him. "You ready, Serial Designation N? This meeting seems pretty urgent..."
He smiled. "Well, with you as out leader, there's nothing we can't do. I'm sure we've got this!"
Miss Elliot smiled. "Let's hope you're correct."
SD-V ran out the room, grabbing her weapons and joining them. The four walked off to the elevator.

"UZI! GET BACK HERE NOW!"
"FUCK OFF, OLD MAN! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GO WITH YOU! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Uzi ran out of the house, down the streets to get away from her stupid dad. God, she hated him! That little-
She turned down an alleyway, hiding behind a trash bin and wiped away her tears. She was angry. And she wanted it out.
Uzi pressed the button on her watch. Her villain outfit covered her jumper and purple skirt. A black, sleeveless jacket with purple highlights and metal sheaths for wings. A light purple skirt torn at the front with black tights and heeled boots.
Her hair turned into a vibrant purple and her mask became a resemble to a raven's face. That was her. Raven.
She had adopted the role of a villain soon after her mum died, and her dad turned for the worse. It was mainly just a way to get her anger out, but after a little accident, she now had superpowers.
She could summon bright green explosions that turned red when extremely mad. It was very fun to use for terrorism.
The only issue was the JC Jenson. The designators were much stronger in real life then on the news. SD-V, the brute force, could copy anyone's abilities by stealing their blood and drinking it. SD-N, who could shapeshift into any animal, and the defender. And SD-J, the leader, who's supersonic voice could pierce glass.
They were all horrible. She had scars to prove it.
Sighing, she dug under the trash can grab her railgun. Uzi had made it herself, another reason she was undervalued. She slung it over her shoulder and spread her fake wings she also made. They couldn't fly, but it allowed her to get really high up and fall without much damage.
Raven clambered up the walls onto the roof, walking on top of the roof. What should she do today? Steal something from a bank? Blow something up? Maybe-
"FREEZE!"
Raven instinctively put up her hands. She slowly turned around and groaned.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" She yelled. "I just got ready!"
The JC Jenson employees held no reaction, simply glaring down at the villain. One stepped forward. She wore a white shirt with a tie on it and a yellow skirt. Her hands had fingerless gloves with sound booms on them.
”SD-J? Where’s your crew?” She asked. “It’s odd to see you alone.”
”We do not want to fight, Raven.” She started.
”Then why have weapons?” Raven snapped back.
J rolled her eyes. “Look, this is stupid and we both know it, but the company needs your help.”
What.
What?
“My help?” She asked. “Yeah right. You’ll just trap me and send me to prison. News flash, I’m not going with you!”
J stepped forward, pulling out a knife. “Raven. Let me explain.”
Raven was not in the mood for this. “Oh, suuurree, that’s not suspicious at all- HOW ABOUT THIS!”
She pulled out her gun and shot J in the head with a laser. She screamed and stumbled off. Raven giggled and ran off, the JC members following her.
She jumped over the buildings with ease, a few members keeping up with her. Raven channeled her anger, her energy, and summoned a cloud of green energy appearing at her feet.
Two members landed in front of her. Raven whacked one aside with her railgun, the other shooting her with a gun. Raven ducked, spinning around them. She lifted her gun, pointing it at both of them getting ready to fire when-
A huge shock of pain ran through her veins. Raven fell over. Her muscles grew weak.
No, no-
SD-J walked up to her, holding a taser. God dammit-
Her vision faded to black.
