homies, at least until the Wardens showed up at my bail hearing,

posted for me, and carted me off to the inquisition. I was kind of

surprised they didn’t kick me right back. I wasn’t exactly wel

behaved. But I guess they saw something I didn’t. They put me

through school, gave me a job. Two years later, they brought Manny

in, too.”

He was the younger brother, yet his powers had manifested

earlier, and more vividly. I wondered how Manny had felt, trailing

behind.

The way he said his brother’s name woke a ghost of pain in my

chest—there was a certain emptiness in it, and vulnerability. I found

myself wanting to take his hand, not to draw power but to give

comfort. That was how humans did such things—flesh to flesh.

I was reaching out to him when the next attack descended on us

with shocking suddenness.

The lights of Albuquerque blacked out ahead, and I felt the

sudden burn of power being released in the physical world. “Luis!” I

snapped, and braced myself against the dashboard with one hand.

It was good that I did; he slammed hard on the brakes, and I felt a

heavy thud from behind as my motorcycle slammed into the cab of

the truck. The tires screeched and jittered, but held against a skid.

“Shit,” he breathed, and slammed the truck hard into reverse,

gave it gas, and whipped it in a fast, reckless turn. “Can you do

anything about that? Because I’m a little busy.”

He offered me his right hand, steering with his left. I grabbed hold

and rose into the aetheric for a look. Night fel away, and the world

erupted in a chaos of color. Reds, maroons, oranges, hot flashes

and sparks of yel ow.

We were in trouble.

“It’s coming in!” I shouted. “From the right!”

The passenger’s side. I had just enough warning to duck, and the

wind hit the truck with so much force that the entire heavy vehicle

rocked up on the left two wheels, threatened to overturn, then settled

down with a heavy, rattling thump.

A spray of stones, fired at hurricane speed, began pelting us, like

bul ets from a machine pistol. The window next to me cracked into

icy shards, then blew in. I put up a shield as quickly as possible, but

even so we were both bleeding and shaken from the attack, and that

was only the opening salvo.
