<Feeling a bit fluish sergeant? You might want to sit down a while. You could be in great danger…>
<I’m fine doctor, thank you. Listen, we need to know what this is about, and fast.>
<You see, lately there’s been some kind of virus spreading.>
<Yeah we’ve got word of this virus, what do you know about it?>
<Not many have a good enough immune system to handle it and our medical facilities don’t have the proper equipment to deal with it. So left and right, all over the city, people are dying from it. But recent research has showed, there are those with a specific gene that this, this strange virus just won’t touch. We dug a bit deeper and found that those carrying this particular gene… Well, they aren’t like you and I.>
<What do you mean…?>
<I mean, they look like us, for the most part, but they’re special. Extraordinary. We have called them meta-humans, or super humans. This means they hold special abilities you’ve only been able to read about.>
<You mean like in the comic books you see them teenagers walking around with?>
<Precisely. These meta-humans can do many different things. Things like flying, running at supersonic speeds! Or, or moving things with but a flick of a finger.>
<This is ridiculous. I don’t have time for this…>
<But Sir, if we don’t look into this further, they may be the only survivors left on Earth. We could be wiped out with in a matter of months… And they holding this miracle in them would be the only ones left!>
<Your wasting my time I could be using out there helping people. If I say I’m leaving. I’m leaving. Men! I want this city under quarantine ASAP! No one gets in or out! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!>

Quarantine
Shortly after, large concrete walls had been build around the city to stop anyone from entering or exiting. The concrete walls were reinforced with a specially made field. This field let Oxygen inside but filtered any particles trying to escape, thus trapping the virus inside. But this field also trapped the supers inside. Their powers were useless against the field, which was not intentional. things just sort of ended up that way.
With the city being quarantined and the virus flying free inside, the rules became fuzzy. People started to act for themselves rotting the laws down to nothing. As head authorities were slowly losing control the city became a dangerous place. The supers who were caught in the mess tried to stay hidden for the most part. But the formation of gangs and the loss of law left a few with the idea that they could do and take what ever they please.
As the years went on and the quarantine stayed the way it was the chaos just became worse and worse. Humans that were smart enough to know how to keep safe stayed in large groups. Managing to live through the virus with special methods. They were terrified of the supers that ran muck and made their own rules. This little society had kept them alive for a number of years and even when threatened they were not afraid to stand their ground and fight for what they had.
Supers seemed to be the ones in charge, various gangs and scattered communities would have stated otherwise. No one was in control. There were only a few areas left where the military stuck inside had set up safe areas for those willing to follow under their command and rules. Most humans found were hiding in this set up. It was the only place where the humans were able to live in safety. Though a few supers had been living amongst this group in secret, just trying to avoid the chaos they wanted no part in. They are the ones just wanting a normal life again. If the humans ever found out they were amongst them they’d be cast out into the mess of the city. The military had told the surviving humans they were dangerous and not to be trusted not matter what.
And no one outside the concrete walls of the city knew of the life inside. Most just thought there were no survivors at all or that everything had just ran smoothly behind those walls. The rest of the world had been told lies of what was actually going on.
It's been 3 years since the city was quarantined
