Three superheroes in love! Or one superhero, one former sidekick, and one redeemed supervillain, at least. Ryan, John, and Holiday have been partners -- in every sense of the word -- for two years. They’ve saved the world, fallen in love, and remodeled the secret base to include bookshelves and a bigger bed. But Ryan and John have always been the public face of the team. The world still believes Holiday’s a villain. And he’s been using that reputation to stay undercover and share information. Tonight, though, Holiday comes home injured, and his partners aren’t sure the mission’s worth his life. Caution: this story also contains lasagna, superhero theatrics, home renovation, a thunderstorm, and very enjoyable use of superpowers in bed.

“Don’t overact or anything,” John said, laughing, coughing, finally getting breath back.


Ryan jumped down from the swoop of the bridge. Landed next to him. “Had enough?”


Holly gave him a supercilious glare. Every bit of that aristocratic heritage thrown in. Effective as hell, even on his knees. Maybe especially then. Ryan had an absurd flash of memory: The week before, Holiday Jones on both knees then too, bound in leather.


Holly announced, “Never, hero!” and tried to open a hole in the bridge under Ryan’s feet


Ryan wrapped lightning around his ankles. Yanked. Knocked him sprawling. “How about now?” Privately, he flipped back to their shared channel and added through the earpiece they shared, “You okay?”
