Chapter Ten

There were so many superheroes around me with thermal goggles that I felt a little sick to my stomach. There was pretty much no doubt they’d gotten a vision of me trying to give an interview here. My heart was already pumping pretty good, and I felt a little like a drawn bow. The sky was a bit cloudy that morning, but supposedly it wouldn’t start raining until noon, because we all know those meteorologists are always right. Yes, that last was sarcasm.

I was in central plaza by the government buildings, not a quarter mile from SAB headquarters and the plan was pretty simple at its heart. I’d be hijacking the mayor’s speech toward the end of his own, since the place would be filled with journalists. Toward the end, because there was no reason to be rude, I was sure whatever he was going to say was very important.

I’d also gotten around the fact they’d see me invisibly in a very simple and clever manner. I was currently sporting red hair, green eyes, fair skin, and a white sundress with flowers that made me look cute and harmless. Of course, the leg and cleavage I had on display was also part of the illusion, because I was wearing my super suit which we’d determined didn’t block heat signatures at all. In short, they’d see in the thermal goggles what they expected to see, a cute girl in a sundress where the red blob was.

The danger in this plan of course was that I was putting that ability of mine at risk of discovery, but the plan was not to reveal it if all went accordingly. At the same time, I’d possibly be burning the redhead look if they did figure it out after the fact or if things went wrong, which was why I wasn’t wearing the black-haired Belladonna disguise that was vital to keep secret at this point.

The crowd was growing as well, possibly more than a mayor’s conference could account for, and I suspected it was because there were so damned many superheroes floating around. People that would’ve probably just kept going usually, had stopped to gawk at the unprecedented numbers. I guessed they really wanted to kill me for the supposed murder of Mistral, their upstanding and mourned partner against crime. Yeah, I really poured the sarcasm into that last sentence, the murderous bitch.

Regardless, my current appearance wasn’t the reason it’d taken four hours to prepare for this plan, that part was pretty easy to do. I’d already had the redhead disguise and had just needed to make my suit look like skin to round it out. All I’d explained was merely to get me here safely and unnoticed, where I could control the sound and light around me for the real plan.

“Do you have any idea what’s going on?”

I shrugged as I turned to the young man next to me, “Not a clue, except for the mayor’s press conference. Maybe there was a threat
