Chapter 26

Starla takes a step back. She puts her hands up. “We don’t have to fight. Let me take Kate and get her some help.”

“She doesn’t need help from you.” Apex Man sneers at her. “You can’t stand that she chose me, can you? That’s why you keep butting in.”

“Kate is my friend. That’s all.”

“Do you expect me to believe you love that pathetic photographer?”

“Billy is a wonderful man.”

“We’ll see how wonderful he is when I tear his head off. Then maybe you’ll learn not to stick your nose in where it doesn’t belong.”

“You leave Billy alone!” Starla rushes forward, her hands poised to claw out Apex Man’s eyes. She’s much too slow for him; he bats her aside before she has gotten four steps. Starla flies backwards, across a counter filled with crystal beakers and tubes. She smashes through a closet door to land inside.

By all rights she should be dead now. At the very least she should be ready to pass out. But when she looks down at her tattered snowsuit, she doesn’t see any blood. Her fists clench. A smile comes to her face.

Apex Man has his back turned to her. He must think she’s dead or nearly so. She tears the remains of the snowsuit away, followed by the clothes Greta gave to her. Underneath is her Apex Girl costume. As she sits up, she realizes that while her glasses are askew, she can see perfectly fine; she sets the glasses on top of the rest of her clothes.

Then she launches herself from the closet. She tackles Apex Man before he can even turn around. She rains down a hail of punches. He only laughs at her. With a flick of his hand, she’s thrown backwards into another wall.

Before she can move, he grabs her by the loose fabric at the front of her costume. He sneers again. “You pathetic child. Do you think you can hurt me?”

He hurls her through the lab wall. She lands in the hallway. She struggles to her feet. Before he can grab her again, she runs. She hears his laughter in her ears. “Go ahead and run, coward! I’ll still find you!”

Once she’s out the front door of the Lair, she pauses for a moment. He hasn’t followed her yet. He will eventually. She thinks of Kate inside, lying there unconscious, perhaps forever. Her fists clench again.

She tries to launch herself into the air. Nothing happens. Her powers still aren’t back yet. She hurries over to the jetpack and then shrugs into it. She hopes it still works after her rough landing. The engine sputters a few times but finally roars to life. With a whoosh of flame, she rises into the air.

Starla climbs higher and higher into the air. She pushes through a layer of clouds, into the clear sky. Sunlight washes over her. She closes her eyes to bask in it. She can feel her body getting stronger as she absorbs the light.

The joyful moment ends as something hits her in the stomach.
