Excerpt:
“So what
are your specialties?” Set asked Sandra.
“What do
you mean?” She scrunched her brow, but a blush bloomed as Set’s eyes scanned
what he could see of her. Thankfully, most of her was hidden under the table
between them.
“If this
turns into an extraction, it’s best to know what our team’s strengths are,” Set
said.
Source
glared across the table, dark red blotches colored his cheeks. “She slices and
dices and julienne fries with her lasers. Great defensive moves in flight.”
“That’s
right, you fly,” Set said with a half smile.
Sandra
jutted her chin in his direction. “What’s your thing?”
“Weather,”
Jeff and Source said in unison.
“Whether
what?” Sandra asked, looking between her brother and her boyfriend.
“My
namesake, Set, was the God of Storms,” Set drawled.
“Oh,
that kind of weather,” Sandra said. Pointing between Jeff and Source, she
asked, “Why don’t you ask these guys what their strengths are?”
Set
chuckled. “I went to school with them. I know their… um… strengths.”
Jeff
shifted in his seat, stuffing his hands under his legs before they combusted or
wrapped around Set’s throat. He saw another smile touch Whisper’s lips, and
knew she was dialed in on their conversation, or at least his portion of it.
“I’ve
discovered quite a few new powers since converting to hero,” Source said with
wounded pride.
“You
converted?” Set asked.
“Well,
she stole me out of SVA before the balancing, so I had to choose it or chance
losing her.” Source wrapped his hand around Sandra’s and bumped her shoulder
with his. “Turns out I can tap far more abilities when fighting on the side of
good.”
Set
narrowed his eyes. “I didn’t realize supers could convert.”
“Well,
it stands to reason,” Source said. “Really, all our abilities are either
mental, physical, or elemental. They don’t know if we are bad or good, do they?
It is our environment that leads us down a specific path. I have a theory…”
“Source,”
Sandra interrupted.
“Well,
this is relevant,” Source said.
“She’s
right, dude,” Jeff said. “No one would understand your theory even if we let
you share it. Shouldn’t we come up with some sort of battle plan?”
“But…”
Source said.
Not
seeming to hear him, Set talked right over Source’s protests. “It’s hard to
have a battle plan when you don’t know where you’ll be fighting, or who you’ll
be fighting.”
“Or if you’ll be fighting,’ Jeff
finished.

The supers are balanced. All’s well in the super world.
Right? When dogs drag Oceanus away, Jeff learns the supers are so balanced,
they no longer care to get involved. The only one who seems to care is Oci’s
ex-villain, ex-boyfriend, Set. With Jeff’s own powers unbalanced and spiraling
out of control, he wonders if they will find Oci before he looses control
completely, and if they’ll find her alive.
