Travis’ voice came over the comm. “Don’t get too close. I’ve got a plan.” I didn’t have time to ask him about the plan. The Thing disappeared through the wide hangar door. We could have closed it. It would have bought Travis time, but on the other hand, he didn’t seem to need it and … Continue reading Revelations: Part 7→
Jillian’s boyfriend straightened up, letting go of Jillian’s arm, and standing in between her and Kid Biohack. Meeting Kid’s eyes, he said, “I told you I wasn’t going to do the hero thing after graduation. The system’s corrupt, and I know you know it. We talked about it back—” and there he blinked, “—in days … Continue reading Precision: Part 7→
I’d noticed clouds forming since the fight started, and as I was about to press Theo on exactly how bad he felt, lightning erupted in front of the building. Travis had told the glass cannons (mobile artillery, if you wanted to be formal) to help us, and now they were. I’d have taken help earlier, … Continue reading Stardock: Part 15→
I thought about that. With everything that had happened between the two of us, I still didn’t see Sean as evil. I did think he was massively, hugely messed up. From what I’d seen, his father was close to, if not actually, abusive, and had cheated on Sean’s mom with at least one person (Camille’s … Continue reading The Unusual Suspects: Part 3→
We ran into the office, eyes on the security camera monitor, a flat screen hanging on the wall that showed all the entrances to the building. Lee stood at the backdoor entrance. Chris beeped him in. When we got him downstairs, I asked him, “How’d you know I was here?” “Mystic powers, and also, I … Continue reading Targets: Part 4→
So you’d think that after having all Friday to work on it, I would have had the arm completely ready to go. Unfortunately projects that are even marginally complicated don’t go like that. What happens is that you put things together, discover a problem, take them apart and put them together again. After that, you … Continue reading Graduation: Part 21→
Chris came over fifteen minutes later, and parked in Grandpa’s driveway. I still had about an hour before I had to really worry about people showing up, and unintentionally revealing the person behind the mask. I thought Chris could be trusted, but I wasn’t about to out people without permission. We ended up talking in … Continue reading Graduation: Part 8→
On Monday, when I went back to school, I couldn’t help but notice that all the members of Justice Fist seemed to be tired. I’d have put it down to them spending a lot of time by Lucas bedside, except I hadn’t seen any of them when we were there. And really, I only saw … Continue reading Counterattack: Part 6→
“You bet. We’ll pass on whatever shows up,” Vaughn said. “Right, guys?” He looked over the rest of us. I thought about replying. It seemed like a good idea, but maybe not immediately. I had time. Then I thought about it a little more. +++ Me: We might be a little too calm. Daniel: Crap. … Continue reading Rivalry: Part 9→
It was the first time I could think of that Jaclyn got involved in a case. She’d always had a kind of “take it or leave it” approach to the Heroes League since we’d reformed. For this, she took the same approach she took toward homework — focus. Within half an hour, we knew who … Continue reading Rivalry: Part 4→
