Daddy Issues

The wheels against Zoran were now moving, but there was one other major player I was looking to get involved in this business. One person who might be very useful in facing down the magically inclined Zoran.

Namely, his daughter.

Who hated him.

Which is about right with these sorts of people.

I’d been doing this super stuff for a long time, and one thing I learned early on is every family or super group has that black sheep in it. A group of villains inevitably has a few that go heroes, especially if they get popular enough to spin off. And a group of heroes always has one that flipflops into villainy or moral greyness, usually for the same reason. You always had a Wolverine. Or a Scarlet Witch. Or whatever. In this industry, if you couldn’t cut it as a hero, maybe you could as the bad guy. Or, at least, an antivillain.

Surprisingly, Cassandra, better known as White Mage, wasn’t one of those. She rebelled not out of a desire to earn some of that sweet sponsorship cash on a solo career, but to be an actual hero. You got those too sometimes. Most of them ended up being streeters, but now and then they went pro. It helped she had some serious power backing her up, and also that Valkyria recruited her fairly early on to teach her the ropes of heroing.

And after working with her not so long ago, I fortunately still had her number, and gave her a call first thing in the morning.

It rang five times, which got me pacing around the kitchen with a cup of coffee in hand, but at last she picked up. “Magneron,” she growled. “What do you want?”

“To talk.”

“I have nothing to say to you.”

“Not even if I have news about your father’s latest dirty trick?”

There was a long pause. I waited, sweating a bit with anticipation until finally a sigh came. “Where do you want to meet?”

I was surprised. In person? Interesting. But that would work better. She was probably trying to gauge my honesty. Well, that worked for me. “How about Hero’s Breakfast? We both know the place.”

“Fine. I’ll be there in a half hour. And this better not be a trick.”

“Cross my heart and hope to die,” I said.

“We’ll see,” she warned, and hung up with a click.

I sighed with relief and tucked the phone away. Alright. Progress. Sure, she sounded about ready to bite my head off the second I stepped through the door, but hey! I was used to dealing with hostile women. And she was meeting with me. Things were moving! But I didn’t have long before everything came to head.

I grabbed my Civic out of the garage and hit the highway minutes later, and was surprised when, five minutes out, I got another call. Oh hell, was Cassandra cancelling on me? Pulling out my phone, I crammed it into the cup holder and put it on speaker. “Hello?”

“Victor, hello there.”

“Carter?” I said, glancing down at the screen before quickly returning my eyes to the road.
