Anchor Point

I released my grip on the dickhead’s arm, stepped back, and held up my hands to demonstrate that I was unarmed.

I knew the back of the police precinct probably had cameras, especially this close to evidence lockup, and I wanted it to be absolutely clear that Centerpoint had come at me first.

And the thick-skulled ex-supe didn’t disappoint.

He ignored the fact that he was slow on his feet, still dizzy from the blood loss, and came at me like an untrained bar brawler. I shot an elbow into the inside of his hooking punch, stunning the nerves there, and slipped the second shot effortlessly. I didn’t even need my Combat Telepathy at this point. The guy was feeding me such easy reads on his moves that my own muscle-memory was more than sufficient to handle his attacks.

Centerpoint recovered from his wild swipe, drew back, and shot a straight punch at my nose. I slipped it and jammed his second arm to stop him attempting a follow-up before I caught hold of his stupid costume. A quick shift of my hips and a well-placed foot later, and I’d swept him to the concrete.

He jerked in surprise as I straightened up and glanced up at Carter.

“A little help here?” I asked.

She grinned at me. “You look like you’ve got it handled.”

“Unprovoked attack. I could claim assault,” I said, in a mock-whine.

“Let him up, Wildcard.”

I released my grasp on the guy’s wrist, stepped back, and watched Centerpoint crawl up to his feet. He glared at me with burning hatred, but I just returned his anger with a slight shrug and made a gesture at the door.

“Alright, we’re done. The adults need to talk.”

“We’re not done,” Centerpoint snarled. “Patriot’s going to hear about this.”

I chuckled at that. “Yeah? What’s he going to do? Smear me into paste? Or buy the fact that you almost got an entire building of people killed on camera? Stop embarrassing yourself and get the fuck out of here.”

Something in my eyes must’ve freaked him out, because Centerpoint turned and left without even a parting jab. I turned back to Carter, who had her arms folded with a grin on her face. She glanced over my superhero outfit, splattered in gore and blood, and her smile fell a little.

“You look like hell,” she said.

“Been getting that a lot today,” I said. “Shall we?”

Carter glanced at the hunks of twisted metal in the loading area with a worried expression. I couldn’t say that I blamed her for that. If there was a secondary attack on the station, the officers would have a hard time holding off a second wave. We needed to reconnect with Lawrence, set up a guard, and get a line of communication open for the possibility of another siege.

I had a distinct feeling I’d be needed elsewhere with the hellish offensive against Empyrion, and there’d be very few places that remained safe in the city.

No screaming, acid-covered monster erupted from the burned-out corpses of
