CHAPTER TWELVE

I slept well that night and into the next day. My parents brought my meals to me while I was in bed, which was nice, while the pain in my shoulder started to subside. It would still be a while before it fully recovered, of course, but I was grateful that it was healing at all. Part of me had worried that my fight with those two vigilantes had ruined my body’s natural healing process, but so far it seemed okay. I didn’t dwell on that for too long, though, because I was worried that I might be jinxing myself if I did, even though that was a pretty silly thought to have.

I browsed the Internet a lot and kept track of the news. Not much had happened since I went back to my home; there weren’t any reports of increased vigilante activity or anything. There was an article on the Golden City Journal website about Prime Man and Sasha Munroe’s business meeting (the details of which were to be revealed as the year went on, according to the reporter who wrote the article) and another about my battle with Smoke Man and Hindsight, but that particular article revealed nothing to me that I didn’t already know except for Smoke Man and Hindsight’s identities. Other than that, things seemed pretty quiet on the superhero front at the moment, but I knew better than to assume that all was truly well.

For one, there was still the plan of Heroes United to take out the Big Boy bomb. No news site was reporting on it, of course, because it was intentionally being kept under wraps by Rubberman and the others involved in it in order to avoid giving the Legion time to prepare for it. It was supposed to happen at midnight tonight, when the Legion would least expect it. Rubberman had even seemed convinced that this would end the war in Golden City, because he believed that Doctor Devil and the vast majority of the Legion’s members would be in that factory.

It sure seemed like a good idea, especially if it actually ended the war between Heroes United and the Vigilante Legion. Despite that, however, I still felt uneasy about all of this. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was a trap. It just seemed too easy, that Blast would tell me about the bomb and even its location like that. That Sasha was involved, even if only indirectly, made me think that something was definitely up, even though I couldn’t quite place what at the moment.

Speaking of Sasha, I now had only five days in which I could figure out how to beat her. Time seemed to fly by a lot faster than when I was a kid. Maybe it was just the stress of the situation getting to me and messing with my perception of time. I understood a little better what Dad meant whenever he complained about how fast time flew by now that he was older, though Dad wasn’t under the same stresses as me.
