*Near Skye’s Hidden Base*
“Sooo, this is a grand show-down between the reigning champion villain, ME, and the new up-and-comer, Nightstep!” Skye says, waving a stick in front of her face like it’s a mic. “Make sure you aim the hairpin at me, okay, Doris?”
“It’s aimed, it’s aimed,” Doris says, holding a tiny hairpin in her hand as if it was a camera. “Can’t we use the phones instead of this? You know that you don’t get that good of a picture with it!”
“Ohhh, good point. But then again, who else can say they recorded a major heist with a hairpin?”
“I’ll use the phone!” Ariel says, pulling her phone out of her suit and aiming it. “Now we’ve got two angles!”
“Are they ALL crazy?” Gwenda asks Century. She’s tied to the trunk of the tree he’s sitting in.
“Well, you see, ma’am, Skye’s an S-class,” he says. “That gives her a bit of leeway in… interpreting reality. But in this case, her big brother is the one that made the hairpin. It’s a fully working camcorder and tracker.”
“Who’s her brother?” Johnnie asks excitedly. Sure, he’s tied to the tree next to Gwenda, but even if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t budge for anything.
“Technico,” Century says. “She’s an adopted Superior.”
“And—wait, Superior? Technico is a Superior?” Johnnie says, his voice breaking, he’s so excited. “And she’s adopted, AND my son’s aunt—“
“Stepson,” Gwenda says.
“You know I always wanted a son,” Johnnie says. “Well, now I got one! And he’s related to Superior!”
“You never once said you wanted a son!” Gwenda says, irritably.
“Details, honey, details. Besides, what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine—including your son!” He stops as he feels the ropes binding him loosen, and then fall into his lap. “What—“
“He’s here!” Skye says, looking around the woods expectantly. “We should have waited until morning, huh?” They all look at the sky, where the sun is rapidly setting.
“You didn’t think of that, earlier?” Doris demands.
“Well, it IS three against one!” Skye says.
“Eep—“ they all look over as Johnnie is pulled into the shadow at the base of the tree.
“Although, I honestly didn’t expect THAT,” Skye admits.
