Chapter 22: Potential

Mo was studying in the library with Tadashi when there was another news report about Smokeburn. He seemed to be committing more arson than normal. He had to be the bane of every firefighter in the area. Mo paused at the video footage of the new supervillain that was always with Smokeburn.

She showed her phone to Tadashi. They both looked at the man wearing the red mask. She asked, “What’s his name?”

“I heard it’s Sunspark.” Tadashi’s eyebrows furrowed and he added hastily, “Don’t ask how I know that.”

She didn’t try to figure out what that meant. He and Eli had been acting weird lately and she couldn’t get a decent explanation from anyone.

“Sunspark doesn’t sound very villainous,” she pointed out.

“That’s what I said. I thought it would be something like Combustion or Firethrower.”

“He sounds like he should be a hero instead.”
