bed and put my shoes on. “Yeah, we had a bit of a disagreement. At least I think that’s what it was. I don’t know—it’s been a long day. Everybody’s on edge. I’m ready to punch something.”
    “By something, you mean me?” Selena said with a smirk, crossing her arms.
    “Hey, this whole training thing was your idea.” I stood, ready to go.
    The two of us walked out of the room and began making our way to our sparring location. “So, what was this whole disagreement—or whatever it was—all about?”
    I shrugged. “I got a little aggressive with that guy you brought in earlier. Drew had to pull me off him. We got into a bit of a fight, but our emotions were running high and my adrenaline was pumping. I was just being stupid.”
    “So, what you really mean is that you were pissed that Drew brought you down a peg?”
    I rolled my eyes. “You can call it whatever you want, Selene.”
    “You really want me to punch you hard, don’t you?” she asked.
    I smirked. “I don’t know, Selene . You tell me.”
    “Call me that one more time and you’ll see just how hard I can hit,” she said.
    “Well if it’s anything like how you’ve punched me in the past, it won’t be too bad.”
    Selena and I spent the rest of our time walking, talking to and teasing each other. When we reached the parking lot at the edge of our camp, we cleaned it out and used it to practice fighting each other, the craters and cracks all over the concrete evidence of our sparring.
    “You’re probably already warmed up after this morning,” Selena said as she stretched.
    “Unfortunately. Those Supers were no joke. Just ask Nep,” I said with a chuckle.
    “How bad was he hurt?” Selena asked.
    “Not too bad, obviously, or else I wouldn’t be joking about it. He definitely got his bell rung, though.” I nodded towards Selena as she finished her stretches. “You seem warmed up as well. Run into any trouble while you were scouting?”
    Selena shook her head. “Nothing I couldn’t handle. I wasn’t even spotted while I was flying around Boston.” She shook her head. “It’s not looking pretty. They’re going through the city like a plague. They’re destroying everything, forcing people to join the Legion or die. Most are joining gladly, though. Anybody smart enough is long gone from the city. The only ones left behind are those asking for trouble or wanting to join.”
    “What about Atlas? You see him at all?” I asked, nervous about her answer.
    Selena shook her head. “Nobody’s seen him, or if they have, they aren’t saying a word. Apparently he’s staying hidden, ‘ruling from his throne’ or some such shit.”
    I nodded. “I’ve heard the same thing. I can’t help but feel something’s not right.”
    “Of course it’s not,” she said with a scoff.
    “You know what I mean. Relatively speaking, something’s not right. Atlas doesn’t seem like the type of guy to not constantly be in the limelight. He didn’t even come to Dallas when the Legion atta—”
    My sentence was interrupted by Selena slamming her fist against my chest. My body was launched backwards and slammed through a convenience store across the street before being stopped by the front counter.
    Selena appeared in front of me, offering her hand. “Don’t let your guard down, Kane.”
    I rolled my eyes and grimaced as my body healed itself. I grabbed her hand and jerked down on it, trying to bring her down to the ground with me. She didn’t budge, having expected my move and bracing herself. I let go and fell back.
    “Also, don’t be predictable,” she said with a laugh.
    I grunted in annoyance as I grabbed her hand once more to pull myself up. Once I was up, I could tell she had relaxed her muscles and was no longer bracing herself. I jerked her in close and, using her momentum against her, slammed my hand against her chest. I knocked her off her feet and slammed her to the floor, causing the ground to crack underneath her from the
