Chapter Twenty-Four: Stress Test

(A chapter in which Sam gets a bird’s-eye view of Centralia.)

It had been a relatively good night, no one got hurt, and the four would-be heroes felt well rested after sleeping at the spa, which was more comfortable than Sam Meeko had thought it would be.

He had never slept at a spa before, and as it turned out, renting the entire floor had its advantages. One of those advantages being the fact that they could simply sleep there, the four members of Vigilante Justice supplied with comfy pillows and sleeping mats.

There had been some debate as to which room at the spa they should be sleeping in. Eventually, they chose one of the cooler rooms, the staff providing blankets for all of them to get under.

Did Sam sleep under the blankets with three beautiful women?

Sort of.

They were around him, sure, but only Helena was cuddling. And it was quite possible that Zoe wanted to spoon up next to him, but it didn’t take an Eastern Province rocket scientist to know that that probably wouldn’t have been a good idea.

So they were well rested and ready for training the next morning, the four now back at the mansion, Helena and Zoe already sparring.

Sam could hear them as he hurried up and finished his breakfast, the man with the superpowered olfactory epithelium wolfing down a bowl of cereal and cinnamon butter toast that Ozella had prepared for him.

“Here’s a list of the things I want to test today,” Ozella said as she handed him a sheet of paper. She sat down across from Sam, and smoothed her hands over her skirt.

He looked the list over as he spooned more cereal into his mouth, immediately getting a sense of how the paper had been milled due to the fact his power-up was currently set to his sense of touch.

Predictably, Ozella wanted to go over his senses, and she had devised several ways to test them out, most of which involved going out to the general public and snooping.

Lots of snooping.

Sam didn’t mind being the team’s lead snooper, but there was definitely part of him that wished he had a power that was more offense than defense, even with the wrist guards he could strap on for combat.

Alas, it was the power that had been given to him, and not one created by some freak chemical explosion; no, Sam was well aware of the fact that if he ever got classified, it would be as a Type IV Class E, a nonthreatening intelligence-based super.

There were worse things to be, though. He could still be a non-exemplar, for example. That would be worse than what he was now. Not that he’d minded being a non-exemplar, it just hadn’t been going so well for him.

And this was.

Vigilante Justice was seriously making some headway when it came to investigating Fang and the vampires who had descended upon Centralia. Sam couldn’t have been more proud of them for getting the info they needed last night without bringing attention to themselves, even if he had been ready for a fight.
