Torres + Kofi

Intro (Tribute to kokowei and ~tokoyami~) The midday sun blazed as Sergeant Chloe Torres and Officer Korra Kofi sat in their cruiser parked off the highway, watching traffic flow. “Speed trap duty,” Korra muttered, drumming her fingers on the dashboard. “This is not what I signed up for.” Chloe smirked, her sharp eyes on the road. “Welcome to real police work, rook. Catch the small stuff before it turns big.” Korra rolled her eyes, but her attention was pulled skyward. Streaks of green and violet shimmered over the horizon, an phenomenon that was out of place. “You seeing that, Sarge?” Korra asked. Chloe nodded, her brows furrowing. “Weird. Been like this since last night. Some kinda chemical fumes?” Before they could process, a blinding flash lit the sky. Chloe threw an arm over her eyes as Korra yelped, covering her face. A wave of heat hit them, followed by the sharp crackle of exploding power lines. “What the hell was that?” Korra exclaimed, brushing her dark bangs back, blinking against the afterimage. Chloe was already opening her door. “Something bad. Let’s move, Kofi.” They stepped out to chaos. Cars on the highway stalled, one by one, their engines silenced. Electric vehicles sat lifeless, while gas-powered ones sputtered before dying. A sedan rear-ended a pickup, and a delivery van swerved into the median. Horns blared as drivers climbed out, shouting in confusion. “The cruiser’s dead!” Korra called out. “Figures,” Chloe muttered, scanning the highway.
