CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
NORMALLY, IT WAS easy for Nova to shake off the disappointment she so often felt in the Renegades and the Council. They had disappointed her so many times, beginning when she was just six years old, a child full of conviction that the Renegades would come. A child who had been wrong.
It shouldnât have been any different this time. She and the Renegades would never share the same principles. Her faith in the Council would never be restored.
She felt foolish to have thought, even for a moment, that things could be different.
She felt extra foolish for the sting of rejection that followed her into the elevator and up to the artifacts warehouse. She didnât have time to dwell on Captain Chromiumâs decision, even if she knew he was wrong. She shouldnât have let herself care so much.
If anyone was going to help the prodigies of this worldâthe prodigies who didnât fit into a perfect mold of what a superhero should beâit wasnât going to be the Renegade Council.
She stepped out of the elevators into a reception space that was unchanged since sheâd been goneâtwo desks, one messy, one stark. A clipboard with a form for tracking equipment rentals from the vault.
Trying to clear her thoughts, she sat down and searched the database for the Hollow Glass. According to the records, it had not been rented out to a Renegade in years, and was currently available in the vault.
She hoped it was a good sign.
Changing the parameters, she searched for star next. Then jewel, gem, and bracelet. Each term called up a substantial list of possibilities, but judging from the descriptions, none of them were her bracelet.
She wasnât particularly surprised, but frustrated all the same.
After a momentâs consideration, she closed the artifacts database and instead pulled up the Renegade directory. Magpie was easy to find.
Margaret White. Alias: Magpie. Ability: Asset perception, subcategory: telekinesis.
âAsset perception,â Nova muttered. She guessed that was Renegade speak for âsomeone who can locate valuable things,â which seemed to be the gist of Magpieâs ability, as far as she could tell.
She jumped to the residence information and frowned.
Current residence: Unknown
Previous residence: Gatlon City Prodigy Childrenâs Home
She was familiar enough with the institution, which was supposed to be an orphanage, though had also become a dumping ground for kids abandoned by families who wanted nothing to do with their superpowered offspring.
An addendum at the bottom of her profile went on to list a series of petty crimesâmostly small thefts and pickpocketingâfor which Magpie had repeatedly received no punishment, it seemed, beyond a stern talking-to.
None of it was at all helpful in getting Nova her bracelet back.
She was scowling at the screen, drumming her fingers against her cheek, when the elevator chimed and Callum arrived. Already smiling, because he was always smiling. And in the second that passed before he noticed her, Nova braced herself to see that smile fall. She knew he had suspected that she was Nightmare after he had tried to stop her from stealing the helmet.
