Miguel sat up. "Get the hostage!" The Chupacabras ran after Artemis.Helen blasted an electrical barricade. Some ran into it and were fried.Artemis gasped at the beasts on her tail.Natalie bashed them all together like sardines.Sam screeched lunging at the monsters ripping their heads off."Finish him!" Miguel said and he blocked Maks's fist. Throwing him downHe groaned at his shoulder. Maks shrank and Miguel crushed him.Helen unleashed chaos on the chupacabras. Their flesh lit up in flaming orange and combusted from energy. Her eyes blazed in electric blue.Sam roared."Yes, embrace your dark side!"Sam punched Miguel, an uppercut, and kick to the solar plexus caused him to wheeze."It can't be!"Sam gave him and undercut. Miguel stopped his arm and squeezed throwing him. The impact so hard he spun."I see you've come into your own but it's not enough to bring your friend back from the dead."Sam scaled a nearby building then leaped onto Miguel from above catching him off guar

Maks fumed. "What? I wasn't proactive to call up a date?""Please, we both know Dr Brendan made you ask me out." Harley said looking for her sunscreen."I knew you had powers from the very first day we met."Harley's eyes rounded. "You what?""I have a power reader, remember?"

He said.She stepped back into a portal. "Get your hand off me."He winced when the portal closed.Maks banged his head against the wall.

She laughed with teary eyes."I did tell her how I felt but...I didn't want to tell her I was afraid. It's new territory for me. How do you fall for a person on the first day? I guess it's just dumb luck.""I've had a similar discussion with Harley? She said losing you was ripping off a bandaid and she knows it's going to hurt because you don't say 'I love you' much. But I think she's just as scared to leave you as you are."Maks hugging his arm. "I don't think so now. It's
