Chapter Eleven

After the excitement of the last fifteen minutes, the ride to our rendezvous with Blizzard was incredibly quiet. We all sat on the seats against the walls, each one of us tired from the escape. At least, everyone looked tired, which wasn’t surprising, because I could already feel the adrenaline starting to fade from my body. My powers, however, were starting to return; already, I could feel my super strength coming back, but it would probably be another couple of hours or so before they came back fully.

I sat between Ivan and Rime. Rime’s body radiated cold air; not as much as it used to, but enough that I could tell that his powers were nearly back as well. As for Ivan, he was resting his head in his hands, like he was suffering from a really bad headache.

None of us mentioned or talked about Enor’s sacrifice. I had to admit that I really didn’t expect him to do that. I thought that Enor, like all supervillains, was just a selfish bastard who only looked out for himself. Yet he sacrificed himself in order to ensure that we would escape. Of course, he might have only killed Glass because he wanted revenge, but his motives didn’t really matter. All that mattered was the fact that we were now free.

Or almost. I expected the guards, once they put out the fires and figured out who was alive and who wasn’t, to organize a search team to hunt us down. Or they would contact the G-Men and tell them about us, but even so, I figured it would be hours before they did any of that. By then, we would be long gone and hopefully off their radar.

We drove in silence for hours until Mimic directed the vehicle down a side road that would take us off the main highway. Our van trundled down an obscure, overgrown country road, tree branches scraping against the vehicle’s sides as we went deeper and deeper into the countryside. In fact, I actually fell asleep at some point, or must have, because soon Ivan was shaking my shoulder and saying, “Kevin, wake up. We’ve arrived at the spot where we are supposed to rendezvous with your girlfriend.”

I opened my eyes. The van had come to a stop at some point and the back doors were open, with the other escapees already climbing out of the van and stretching their limbs.

Despite my exhaustion, I followed Ivan out of the van. We were now in a forest, which was very dark due to the fact that it was now in the early hours of the morning. We were miles away from any town or city, but that did not mean we were going to camp out for the night, assuming we were where we were supposed to be.

Then, all of a sudden, I heard someone shout joyfully, “Bolt!” and Blizzard practically tackled me. I staggered a couple of feet as Blizzard hugged the life out of me, while the other escapees just watched with a mixture of disgust and surprise on their faces.
