We all convened at the ships, the other groups disembarking so that we could finally all meet each other in person. I felt relaxed as I watched the various figures step out, now that I was in control of the planet’s surveillance system and Shimmer was ensuring we wouldn’t be seen from above—in case they had other ways of monitoring us, such as flying supers. Not that we were done with our mission by any means, though we had accomplished much by this point. We had accomplished several objectives in this mission, and I had a feeling that this new one, taking down Muerta and Plague, and then Orion Corp, would all be part of some even larger strategy.

But what made me feel at peace was the team we’d acquired, and the friends we were making along the way. With Charm, Twitch, Gale, Shimmer, and now Andromida at my side, I didn’t care how outnumbered we were. Sure, we might die. We might be defeated, tortured and torn apart, never to see each other again. All of that was a possibility, given the circumstances.

Even so, I knew we were the best team for the job. We had my brother back at the Citadel working his side of the battle simultaneously, too, against those strange Nihilists and their allies.

“What the fuck are you?” Cheri, the one with the blue pigtails, asked. At first I was too busy looking at her strange getup to realize who she was talking to. She was carrying a sword with a small teddy bear hanging from it, and wearing a red sort-of armor suit with a miniskirt built in and a smiley face over her left breast. Quite the oddball, not even counting the tattoos.

And then the lady went flying back, Charm wobbling as a punch missed.

“Oh, shit,” I muttered, already charging forward to get between them. Luckily, a few others had the same thought, including Ezra and a large hybrid man who reminded me of the bear we’d fought earlier, but who had more white fur than brown.

“What’s going on here?” Letha called out, stepping up. She was an imposing figure, even when you knew she didn’t have any superpowers. Then again, I knew what she was capable of. She was wearing an ensemble quite different from the shorts and mesh vest back in her Planet Kill days. She must’ve found an outfit on the ship, because she was decked out like one of the Asylum guards, in a similar cop-look to Ezra.

“She-wolf over there tried to punch me!” Cheri said, sword pointing at Charm.

“Fuck,” Twitch said with a laugh. “Watch it.”

“Charm,” I said, stepping up next to her. “Can we try not to start a fight with our new friends the first time we get to actually meet them?”

“You hear what she said?” Charm asked, turning on me now.

“I did, and…” Turning on Cheri, I frowned, not liking the way she was pointing her blade at me now.

“Darling,” Ezra said with a glance her way.
