Chapter 17

AXEL LOOKED AT NIGEL as Voltaire called Serloyd. He was standing on the edge of the group, quiet, just watching her.

She looked away quickly. Had he done something to help her activate a power?

A flash before her, like the reflection of the sun on glass, drew her from her thoughts. A thick orange mist plumed from thin air, billowing before her.

The Firemaster stepped out from the midst of it. Everyone bowed their heads immediately.

Axel remembered how she'd felt the last time she'd bowed. It had been a horrible feeling. She remained upright.

Serloyd and Desmond stepped out of the portal a moment later, and then the orange mist began to fade.

The Firemaster made a gesture with his hands and everybody straightened. His pale blue gaze settled on Axel. "Please demonstrate your healing power."

Axel sighed silently. He must not have noticed that she hadn't bowed.

The Firemaster nodded at Nigel.

Nigel stepped forward, removing a knife from his pocket.

Axel remembered how he'd cut his arm yesterday. She looked at his arms. Neither had any cut or scar.

He drew the knife through his forearm.

Axel clenched her teeth. How could he do that?

"Proceed," Serloyd snapped.

Axel touched Nigel's arm, careful not to get any blood on her hand.

She felt the rush, heard the roaring. Then Nigel's skin instantly healed.

Everyone was silent.

The Firemaster, Desmond, and Serloyd were staring at her.

"Lady McPherson," The Firemaster said eventually. "1817."

Dynamo nodded. "Yes. She was the last healing Super. There have been Supers who can heal and regenerate themselves, but not others. What a breakthrough."

The Firemaster looked at Desmond.

Desmond bowed his head. "I will perform the necessary tests and see to it that she is prepared for the battle."
