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.

“But you want to grow vegetables,” Holly said. “Doesn’t that require…I don’t know, dirt? Seeds? Someone to sort of watch over them and feed them?”


“They’re tomatoes, not babies! What do you think vegetables actually do?”


“I take it back, you arehopeless—” John smothered a cough in the last sip of his tea. “Ryan, help. He doesn’t know what gardens are.”


“Don’t look at me.” Ryan plopped onto the bar stool next to his. “I have, like, the opposite of a green thumb. Black. Black and poisonous. I electrocute things.”


“I know what gardens are,” Holly protested. “The grounds around the Lyndsay estate have roses, I think, and footpaths, and one or two lily-ponds, and you can go and walk in them, I mean the footpaths not the ponds. At least I think you can, although I’ve not been there in ages and I said yes to opening up the house to tourists so who knows what’s going on—”


“That’s not a garden! That’s historical trivia!”
