Chapter 19
May 7, 2013.
The Road Rovers arrived into New York.
"Alright, guys." said Hunter. "Suit up."
"That's still not part of my game." said Shag.
Hunter rolled his eyes and smiled.
Everyone else suited up, except for Shania.
"What about me?" she asked.
"You just joined, comrade." said Exile. "You don't have a suit."
"Okay." said Shania. "I guess that would have to work then."
The phone then rang.
"Hello?" Shania answered.
"You'll never find the right building." said Edna, over the phone. "Even if you did, the bomb's on the roof. You'll never make it. And you don't know who to save."
"Why are you playing with us!?" shouted Shania. "Isn't this boring you!?"
"I actually think it's a little fun." said Edna.
"You won't win." said Shania. "Bad guys never win."
"You would know such things." said Edna. "You've watched your share of superhero movies while that human made sweet love to you."
Tears ran down Shania's face.
"Don't cry." said Edna. "You know you loved it."
"How did you know this?" asked Shania.
"It's beyond your understanding, lab experiment." said Edna.
Shania, still crying, hung up the phone.
"Hey." said Colleen. "You okay?"
"It doesn't matter." said Shania.
"Who was that?" asked Colleen. "Was that her?"
"Yes." said Shania. "We have to get the city to evacuate."
