Chapter Thirty–Seven – All Out

Emily watched as Glamazon turned away from Fabien and stared at her. “What are you doing here?” she asked.

For a second, just one irrational second, Emily felt like telling her the truth. Something like “We’re here to stop you from capturing Fabien back there because he might tell you all that we’re villains, which isn’t actually wrong, but really, I’m trying to be a good person and don’t need the police knocking at my door, thank you.”

Fortunately, she had more self–control than her sisters, so instead of replying she self–consciously stood a little taller and levelled a look at the heroine. Then she realized that she wasn’t entirely sure what to say.

“We’re here to kick your butts,” Teddy rescued her.

More or less.

Emily’s eyes darted across all the heroes before her. Glamazon looked irate. Hindsight confused. Cheatah was glancing between Emily and her sisters and Fabien, and Black Shield… it was hard to tell with the last. Her costume included a face–covering helmet which left only her body language for Emily to figure out, and figuring out what someone was thinking from the set of their shoulders wasn’t something Emily was good with.

There was one person left in the group, the odd one out. Iron Chains. He was dressed in a tight spandex suit, one that failed to hide that he had some love handles on him. It was bright blue and white, the same colour as the chains wrapped around his middle and his arms. Those had links that were painted in the same pattern. Blue–white–blue–white.

Emily pointed to him, then to Black Shield. She had an idea, and it wasn’t going to work. “The question is, Glamazon, why are you associating with two known villains?”

There. Turn the tables around.

“What?” Cheatah asked. She glanced at Emily, then to the people around her. She was quick to take a small step away from Black Shield.

“What are you talking about?” Glamazon asked. “We’re here to capture him.” She pointed behind her, in the vague direction where Fabien stood.

“He’s just a bank robber,” Athena said. For a moment Emily was worried that her sisters were going to ruin her admittedly awful plan, but then Athena went on. “We know what he’s up to. It’s just robbing places. But Iron Chains was doing villain stuff. Like taking people’s money. And beating people up.”

“Yeah,” Teddy agreed. “Fun stuff like that.”

Athena nodded. “So the Boss put him in his place, with our help. Now he’s working for you, isn’t he?”

“That was a misunderstanding,” Iron Chains said.

“Liar!” Athena shot back.

“Can we set his pants on fire?” Trinity asked in stereo.

Glamazon shook her head as if she couldn’t believe what was happening. “Look, Wrap–Up might have messed up a little, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a hero. Show them, Wrap.”

Iron Chains hesitated for a moment, mumbled something, then some words appeared over his head.

Wrap Up Level 1 Hero

“See,” Glamazon said. “He’s a hero.”

Emily froze. From the corner of her eye she could see people on the sidewalks and the edges of the street, even in the store that Fabien was about to rob.
