WINDOW BREAKER

Once I was outside and alone with Selena, I pointed up towards the sky, raising one of my eyebrows. She nodded, and the two of us took off. We flew high above the city, stopping once we’d passed the first low layer of clouds.

“What do you think?” I asked, now that we were sure we weren’t being overheard.

“I think this is all moving way too fast,” she said.

“I’m with Selena,” Samantha said, jumping into the conversation.

I gritted my teeth, frustrated. Mostly with myself, though. A small voice in the back of my head was telling me to take a step back, but I didn’t listen. “What are we going to do?”

“What can we do? You just promised them we’d liberate their damn city, without asking any of us first,” Selena said, obviously frustrated with me.

“I’m sorry,” I said with a sigh. “I just got caught up in the moment. I should’ve stopped to ask what you thought about it.”

“We aren’t even getting anything in return,” Selena said, ignoring my apology.

“That’s not what it’s about, Selena,” I said.

“No, Kane, that’s exactly what this is about. That is literally the whole point of all of this! We’re supposed to be finding people who can help us. None of those people were even Supers, and I doubt that any of their soldiers are, or else they wouldn’t be getting their asses handed to them.”

“Okay, I get it. I know. We’re frustrated. We’re not making any progress. But I can’t just leave these people, not if we can help them. You saw the looks on their faces when we told them we’d help them.” I couldn’t help but smile as I thought about it. “We gave them hope. And not false hope, either. We can help these people, and we have to. I have to. You can do whatever you want, but I’m going to go kick Raven’s ass.”

I turned to fly back down, but Selena called out for me to stop. “Kane! Wait.”

I turned, and she flew over to me. “You’re right, I’m sorry. I’m just really frustrated. I’m taking it out on you when I should be taking it out on Raven.” She smiled as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail. “Come on, let’s go kick some ass.”

I nodded, a smirk growing across my face.

“I’ll be over here cheerleading!” Samantha said.

The two of us laughed, then we flew down towards the city, ready to take on Raven.
