Andrea shuddered, her head dipping forward as the power opened inside her mind.
She groaned, dodging a head-on collision by inches as they barreled along.
Felix glanced at her right arm as he grabbed the wheel, keeping them in the right lane even if he couldn’t control their speed.
From the ruins of her right forearm, the bones shifted, muscle growing outward, and skin immediately covering it. In a handful of seconds, her arm was regrown and whole.
“What’d you do?” Andrea asked groggily, her head lolling towards him.
“Gave you a third power. Andrea. Andrea! I need you to focus. Please. You’re driving.”
What was left of the roof tore off suddenly and went hurtling away.
A lightning bolt crackled across the street and caught Felix in the chest.
The armor took the hit, but the force of it sent him careening into the back seat this time. His helmeted head clanged off the glass and shattered it.
Groaning, Felix tried to move but felt like his arms and legs were made of pudding. Nothing was responding to his commands.
“Felix!”
Another lightning bolt zipped by as Andrea spun the wheel end over end, sending them down a cross street.
They bounced off another car and wiped out a mailbox as they went, car parts and letters filling the air.
Sitting up, Felix found himself staring at Tanker at the end of the street.
They herded us here.
It looked like they could swerve around him.
Felix’s head was pounding. He couldn’t tell if it was the lightning or using so many points so fast.
“I can’t move him, he’s too heavy,” Kit called out.
“Brace yourself, Kit, and act as soon as you can,” Felix said, calling open Kit’s window.
He pushed her second power all the way to ninety, then focused on the idea of giving her another power.
Illusions. Illusions to the point of physical manifestations.

Upgrade?(60,000)
Felix mentally slapped at the upgrade button.
Kit wavered in her seat, a hand coming up to her brow.
Tanker was seconds away.
Then he was sent tumbling to one side by a gigantic fist.
He blew through a wall and disappeared into the interior.
Blowing past at near seventy miles an hour, Felix only had the brief flash of the man Andrea had gutted and decapitated.
He was covered in blood and looked fine, hiding behind a wall.
Looking back, Felix saw the man lift a rifle to his shoulder.
“Down!” Felix shouted, standing up and lifting his arms behind the heads of Kit and Andrea.
Heavy rounds slammed into his back and arms, drilling him into the back of the headrests.
Andrea took another turn at incredible speeds. The tires skipped and skidded across the road as their rear end swung out behind them.
The car smashed into a streetlight with the fury of a wrecking ball. Unfortunately, streetlights didn’t give way as much as street signs.
The rear right tire exploded from the impact, the car lurching towards the left.
Andrea floored it and took them into a parking garage. The wooden arm of the toll gate exploded into a shower of splinters as the car zoomed by.
Felix slumped into the rear seat, feeling as if he’d been beaten with a rubber hose all over his body.
Squealing around another turn, Andrea rushed up a ramp towards the second floor.
Grinding and scraping filled the entire parking complex as whatever was left of the tire went flying away.
Taking another ramp, Andrea bounced the car off a cement wall, and then off another car.
Feeling a lot like the ball in a pinball machine, Felix pressed his hands to both sides of his helmet.
“Sorry, handles like a bathtub on wheels right now. One more ramp?”
“One more ramp,” Kit said, nodding her head.
Andrea charged the dying vehicle up another ramp, spinning them around the turn and bouncing the rear end from wall to wall.
Each crunch and impact left paint and bits of the car everywhere.
She pulled them into a secluded corner next to the slotted openings that looked out over the street below.
Felix hung his head, then crumpled completely into the floorboards of the back seat.
Eventually he felt hands on him. Hands struggling to get him moving. Or at the very least out of the car.
“Come on, Felix, time to go. We don’t want to be here when they arrive.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Felix muttered. Trying to get to his feet, he got two steps before he collapsed to the cement.
“Oh, can’t forget. I’ll get the shadow,” Andrea said.
There was the pop of the car trunk, and the thump of a body hitting the ground.
“Over here, Andie.” There was the shriek of metal being torn and then the clang as it was dropped to the ground.
“Drop him on, then get Felix on it. Hold on tight to both of them. Not sure if this’ll work, but… at this point, it’s our best shot.”
Felix was dragged a short distance and dropped. Then Andrea was there, holding tightly to him and pressing him to the ground.
Closing his eyes, Felix tried to get his brain working. Between the lightning bolt, the adrenaline wearing off, and probably spending so many points, he felt drained.
The world around him jolted.
Opening his eyes, Felix turned his head and saw the dead man, Tanker, and what looked like a living bolt of lightning sprinting up from the ramp.
The ground shuddered again, and then of all things, the ground vanished.
Rather than the simple sensation of floating away, Felix realized he really was.
Floating away, that is.
As quickly as it had started, they were outside of the parking complex and speeding off into the sky.
Looking down, he realized they were on hood of the car.
Twisting his head around the other way, he found Kit standing nearby, her arms spread out in front of her.
A lightning bolt came out from the parking complex but died halfway to them as Kit continued to pour on the speed.
In a couple of heartbeats, they were soaring through the sky towards home.
“This is amazing,” Andrea said.
