Chapter Thirty-Six

Astrid

The ship built into the float cracks in half and Draco senses it just in time. He jumps off his perch and lands next to her on the front part of the float. The contents of the boat pour out. Demetria knew he would show and she brought weapons.

“What are those things?” Astrid asks, staring at the flying objects. She’s pulled her mask over her eyes. The others do the same. In seconds, they’re linked up.

“You know bad things live in fairy tales too, right?”

“Casper, find Jensen for me,” she says over the com. He’s got facial recognition software. “I need him to get out of here.”

“Shit,” Owen says, running over in his attempt to get out of the way of the tree that has now come to life. The trunk grows legs and steps off the float, entering the crowd. The screams, a mixture of confused excitement and fear, are so loud Astrid covers her ears.

“Draco.” He looks at her. “Go neutralize Demetria or I’ll have to.”

He nods, but they both know it’s too late. She’s standing in the middle of the float like a woman on fire. Her dress spins around her ankles and she holds her hands up, directing her weapons into the city.

Quinn snatches one of the small creatures out of the air and holds it up. It’s small but alive. It looks like a lizard. No. It’s a—

“Fucking dragon,” Owen says.

Quinn tosses it off the side of the float and it expands mid-air, growing to the height of a small building. Smoke billows from its long snout. Its feet land hard on the ground, cracking the asphalt.

Two more explosions rock the Harbor Line and off in the distance a huge ball of fire shoots toward the sky. Police and firefighters run toward the flames, while those caught in the middle, between the explosions and the float, are trapped. The police try to manage them, but the hysteria is too big. “Pan, help these people. Calm them down. Make them see whatever it is they need to see to get to safety.”

“Got it,” he replies, moving to the edge of the float. The dragon ambles ahead of them, on the heels of the marching band.

“Echo, I found him.” An image from the scene pops up. Jensen is stalking through the crowd in the direction of the fires. That’s what heroes do. They run to danger, not away from it.

“What do you want me to do?” Charger asks. He’s ripped off the stupid pirate costume and she finds he’s fully suited up underneath. She isn’t surprised.

“Casper said bombs. Are they on electronic triggers? Timers? Pull up the map and see if there’s anything you can do to disconnect them with your power.”

“What about you?” he asks. There’s no mistaking the look of concern in his eyes.

“I’m going after Blaze. I owe him one.”

He nods. “Be careful.”

The dragon roars and other creatures come to life. Strong horses with sleek black manes. Lizards and dinosaurs. Pixies with sharp teeth.
