After further discussion, Angela and Cassandra decided they needed to try to enlist Simon’s help. He offered the only reliable way that Angela could use to contact Iron Star, and they needed to learn more about their new enemy. Angela had a sense that time was running out, though she could not put her finger on why.

Now they were outside his apartment, and Angela rapped on the door. Cassandra stood beside her. Angela smelled something pungent, an aroma that she could not identify. The odor reminded her of incense, but if it was, it was not one she would ever burn.

“Simon? It’s us, Angela and Cassie.” Angela glanced at Cassandra, who was staring at the door. “Simon? I know you’re home. I heard you moving. Cassie can hear you thinking.”

There was a thump. “Go away.” Simon’s voice was muffled.

“I’m not gonna do that. This is bigger than you, bigger than us. We need to talk.”

“I said, go away!” His voice was louder. It sounded as though he was in the living room. “You can’t help me. Neither can Cassie.”

Cassandra rolled her eyes and snorted.

“I don’t think we were going about it the right way,” Angela continued. “Simon! Please, let us in.”

There was silence. Cassandra looked at Angela. “He doesn’t want us to get hurt. He’s got no idea what you—what we—can do.”

Angela stared at the door, willing Simon to open it. “Look, I know you’re worried about us. But this isn’t just about us. There’s a war going on, and we’re all in it. Together.”

There was more silence, followed by another muffled thump. They waited.

Cassandra jerked her head at the street. “C’mon. That asshole’s not gonna let us in.”

Angela hesitated, but she heard disgust in Cassandra’s voice and trusted her insight. She threw up a hand. “Dammit!”
