No fear for those who live in Christ
What is it that you are most looking forward to right now.
What you should look forward to?

Excerpt from:
A Lane’s Return to Lawndale
She wasn’t sure what to think about it. ‘Just as well I
am going to BFAC, but what about Trent?’ Casa Lane was spacious, but she wasn’t
sure that it was large enough for Summer and all four of her children, as well
as herself and Trent.

She wondered about those
mysteries as she headed back to Sigrun Sigurdottir Hall late in the afternoon.
It was obvious to her that there was a link between them. ‘But what?’ She didn’t
want to get involved in conspiracy theories. ‘I’ll have to be very careful.’
Olivia also found some discrepancies
in some of the records following the Capture of Urbs Aeterna. ‘But some of the records
could have been lost over time, despite the University as it existed at that
time meticulously recording events.

from: Spider Quinn
“Good,
because some others are a lot worse off than others,” Jane responded with a
look at Kalina.
“Understood,”
Leung said.
“We’ll
be off,” SpiderGirl said.
“Wait!
You need to take some statements,” Leung said.
SpiderGirl
then swung away, Ninja Talon following her.
“And
Dafoanairi?” Leung asked.
“She’s
gone too,” one of the other agents responded.
Leung
sighed. “Of course.”
Dafoanairi
looked back from where she was hiding behind a tree between the Creekside pathway
and the Creek itself. ‘I don’t want the FBI to know my secret identity. That
would be too much. I can trust Peterson. Leung, I’m not sure of.’ She then continued
walking, to continue along the path before heading back to the Historia.
Meanwhile,
SpiderGirl and Ninja Talon arrived on the Historia’s roof themselves.
“That
was intense,” SpiderGirl said. “A lot more so than when we rescued Sarah Robyn.”
“But
not as much as Groundhog Day.”
“Or
as much as when we fought the Goblin a week later.”
“I
agree,” Ninja Talon said. “But Jane and the critics are safe now.”
“They
are, but they have been through a lot, especially Kalina. I’m sure she’s going
to need therapy.”
“I
do too.”
“But
we worked well with Dafoanairi despite her inexperience,” SpiderGirl said.
“But
she’s had more experience since the solarium, I can tell.”
“I
can tell too.”
“I
need to go, I’m wet through,” Ninja Talon said.
“Oh,
of course. I’ll see you later, before the play.”
Ninja
Talon then headed southwards, towards home, as SpiderGirl swung off to the west.
It
wasn’t far from the dock to the FBI field office, which lay somewhere between
the Historia and the High School. Kalina was immediately taken to the psychologist
assigned there for assessment. Leung decided to interview Jane first.
“Has
my brother been notified that I have been rescued?” Jane asked.
“Peterson
called while you were on the Lake. Trent was asleep, according to a Jesse Moreno
who answered.”
“He
has narcolepsy, but Jesse will let him know when he’s awake.”
“We
have tried the Morgendorffers but no one was home,” Leung said.
“That’s
not unusual for a Saturday these days.”
Jane
looked at the board, where Leung had laid out the case, including the details Leung
had laid out about Daria, Quinn, Joey and Robert.
“Motive,”
she said.
“What
can you tell us?”
“Not
much more. He just subjected us to his plays that were all visuals and no
actual story. Made this artist annoyed. He gave us plenty of food and water and
let us alone. Whatever was done to Kalina was done before he took me from the
theater!”
“I
see. He left a message for us when he escaped. He said that part of his part of
his motive was the Morgendorffers’ ambition,” Leung said.
“Ambition?”
Jane considered. “Both Daria and Quinn want the Historia to be a force of good
in Lawndale. As a place where people can come together despite the troubles out
on the streets.”
“And
that’s all?”
“I
know Daria. She wants to know what’s going on, with the vigilantes and rising
crime and all. But I’m sure that would be the same of any similar teen in her position,”
Jane answered.
“And
Quinn?”
“She’s
similar, but she wants to use her grief in a constructive way. She wants to get
past her past as a self-absorbed girl and use her social nature as a way to
connect people in positive ways.”
Leung
thought about Jane’s answers. They made a lot of sense. But how did it connect
to Beck’s motives? He was still stumped. “You can stay a little longer, Ms.
Lane.”
“Of
course.”
At
the same time, Daria emerged from the Morgendorffers’ apartment in the Historia,
having showered after being soaked during the rescue mission. She was still thinking
about the unexpected familiarity of SpiderGirl. ‘I haven’t got it from Ninja
Talon, and I didn’t from the Enigma before I figured out she’s Sandi,’ she thought
as she took out a notebook. She paused.
Who
SpiderGirl isn’t
Jane
Lane
Sandi
Griffin
That
still left a lot of people. ‘But I’m sure it isn’t Quinn.’
She
entered the café for lunch and saw that Peterson was waiting for her. ‘Of
course,’ she thought as she went up to the counter.
“That
must have been difficult,” Peterson said to Daria after she had joined her.

Freya looked at the directory in
the Grand Atrium again. “Renaissance Art of Aurora, should be in the
Renaissance Section.” She found that it was. “Of course.” But, was Alexia still
in the Information Science Section?
She decided to see if Alexia was
still there or not first.
She found that Alexia had left.
‘Not surprising, she had to go to lunch herself.’ She then headed to the
Renaissance section.
The afternoon passed, Freya read
about various Auroran artists from the Renaissance, many of whom she had known
about, but she learned more about the context of their works. But she soon
found some mysteries. Some of them had mysteriously stopped their work, and others
works had been lost over time, even from the University’s art gallery.

from: Tales of Voyager
The Doctor had overheard the conversation. “Everything is
more complex than we expect.”
“That’s the experience of every investigator,” Janeway
said. “But we will get home.” She turned to Kes. “Try not to worry about the
Krenim. I’m sure that the Borg will find them as resistant as the Federation.”
“I hope so,” Kes said.
“She is free to go, although I advise rest for a couple
of days,” the Doctor said. “Let Ensign Wildman tend the airponics bay.”
“I’ll let her know,” the Captain said.
“I need to think more about the experience anyway,” Kes
said.
Janeway and Kes left sickbay together a few minutes
later. “I thank you, again, for getting us out of Borg space.”
“We’re now in the unknown,” Kes said. “The Caretaker may
have been part of group of explorers and later scoured the Galaxy for a mate,
but he didn’t teach us much about way lay beyond. That’s part of why I wanted
to be on this journey.”
“You may have told me that before.”
“Yes. That is one reason why I wanted to stay on Voyager,
Captain. I want to reach the Federation with you.”
“I can’t promise that we’ll make it in your lifetime,”
Kathryn said.
“I know that too, but you’re all my friends, even those
who I barely know.”
They reached the turbolift. “I have to get back to the
Bridge. There’s a lot to do before we leave this planet.”
“Have you named it yet?” Kes asked.
“It has a catalogue number.”
“But that seems inadequate.”
“I know what you mean. I’ll consider it,” the Captain
said.
Janeway returned to the Bridge to see that Chakotay was
coordinating the repair efforts with his usual efficiency. “Report,” she said
as she came to the command chair.
“B’Elanna says that the warp core is back online and the
shield generators have been overhauled. We should be back in the sky by 1800,”
Chakotay reported.
“That’s good news.”
“And there doesn’t seem to be any damage to the
spaceframe.”
That was even better news.

The
boat soon reached the creek and SpiderGirl easily turned the boat upstream,
despite the reed beds. “We should be back in Lawndale in ten to fifteen
minutes,” she said.
“That’s
good,” Dafoanairi said. “Because I’m getting seasick.”
SpiderGirl
took something out of her utility belt and handed it to Dafoanairi. “Here, some
ginger,” she said.
“Um,
thanks, but is it fresh?”
“Of
course. I bought it yesterday.”
“OK.”
Dafoanairi
ate the ginger cube. ‘I guess that if she’s carrying people, they sometimes get
nauseous,’ she thought as she looked ahead. It would be while they would see
much of Lawndale yet. She knew that SpiderGirl was familiar somehow. ‘I know
who she isn’t,’ she thought as she looked at Jane and thought of the Enigma. ‘But
whoever she is, I’ll protect her identity as I’m protecting the Enigma’s.’
SpiderGirl’s
estimate was accurate. The boat arrived at Lawndale’s dock, a third of a mile
upstream of the Jefferson Bridge, almost fifteen minutes after entering the
creek. The storm was beginning to subside. SpiderGirl could see Agent Leung waiting.
“OK, everyone out, we’re here.”
“Good,”
Dafoanairi said. “I’ll be off.”
“Are
you sure?” Ninja Talon said.
“I
need to rest before something I have to do later today,” Dafoanairi said.
Ninja
Talon indicated her understanding with a nod.
SpiderGirl
and Ninja Talon lead Jane and the critics up from the dock to the waiting FBI agents.
“Here
are the former abductees,” SpiderGirl said.
“Jane
Lane,” Jane said. “We’ve all been through a lot.”
“We
can go to the field office right away,” Leung said.

How do you know?”
“I’m not sure. Intuition probably,” Kes answered.
“There’s nothing that can be done about it now.”
“That’s true. But I also didn’t know about the Queen.”
“Tuvok mentioned her. But what is she?” Janeway asked.
“Seven of Nine would know a lot more. All that I can

“Are
you sure?” He asked.
“Enhanced
strength, remember?”
“OK,”
Oliver said. He threw his arms around SpiderGirl and Kalina and SpiderGirl then
swung away, next to the others.
The
Enigma knew when that happened. She then pulled down some of the ceiling on
Mysterio, who was still trying to get up from the trip, and turned and dashed
out the door as she opened her eyes. She kept the forcefield up to shield herself
from the rain and debris.
“The
fourth vigilante has come out,” Peterson said.
“Then
my team will move in now,” Leung decided. “Before the storm gets any worse.”
“Good
idea.”
The
whole group moved carefully through the trees, using SpiderGirl’s webbing and occasionally
Ninja Talon’s zipline, towards the dock. It was difficult, but not impossible,
especially with Kalina refusing to let go of SpiderGirl. ‘I’m not a therapist!
I haven’t even been to grief counselling yet!’ SpiderGirl thought.
“Almost
there,” Ninja Talon said.
“It’s
still a lot of trees,” Dafoanairi said.
“We
can do it,” SpiderGirl said. “But I need to be unencumbered.”
“I
can take her,” Ninja Talon said.
“Is
that alright, Kalina?” SpiderGirl asked.
“Yes,”
Kalina answered.
Ninja
Talon wrapped her arms around Kalina. “You can let go of Spidey now.”
“OK.”
SpiderGirl
then swung around, creating a web bridge for the others to take towards the boat.
It held amongst the trees that stopped swaying as much, despite the high winds.
Another lightning strike hit somewhere out on the lake. “Done,” she said when
she had finished it.
At
the same time, the Enigma and Peterson met near where the vehicles were. “Everyone
has been rescued,” she said.
“That’s
good news.”
“They
should get to the boat shortly and then they’ll head back to Lawndale on the
creek.”
“Then
we’ll meet them somewhere between the two bridges.”
At
the same time, Leung and his team approached the cabin and saw the damage that
the fourth vigilante had done. “We need to act quickly.” He knocked on the door.
“Quentin Beck, come out with your hands up.”
There
was no response.
Leung
lead the team in and saw that the room was empty.
The television
then showed a video. “Agent Leung, I presume. Either that, or it’s Officer
Peterson. Doesn’t matter. What matters is, that I am presently making my escape.
But I will be back in Lawndale in future. As for motive, that’s for you
and the other one to piece together. But the Morgendorffers being ambitious in
their young age is part of it.”
“Making
his escape?” Leung asked himself. But they still needed to search the cabin.
The
Enigma figured that she could walk back to Lawndale, despite the storm. ‘It
will be an opportunity to refine the forcefield. I can catch up with Dafoanairi
later.’
The
others made it to the boat. SpiderGirl hotwired it as they all boarded and then
started it moving.
“You
do know how to pilot a boat, right?” Dafoanairi asked.
“Of
course, how hard can it be, even in this storm?” SpiderGirl responded. The lake
surface was choppy, waves whipped up by the winds. She cleared the dock, and
turned the boat to port, heading westwards towards the creek from Lawndale.
Leung
and his team methodically searched the cabin, but found that Quentin Beck had
made himself scarce.
“He
has gotten away,” one of his colleagues said.
“Unfortunately.
But we’ll have tech’s go over this place with a fine tooth comb.”
“The
fourth vigilante has made herself scarce too.”
“She
didn’t need to stick around. She wasn’t here to take him in, just to be
involved in the rescue operation,” Leung said. ‘No need to jump to accusations,’
he thought.

“The
fourth vigilante! I would have thought your name would be known.”
“I
don’t seek the spotlight as much as SpiderGirl! But I’m not giving my hero name
to you.”
“No?
Then I’ll give you my villain name,” Quentin said.
“So,
you’re saying you’re a villain?” the Enigma asked. ‘Protection!’ she thought
and raised a forcefield around herself as usual.
“Yes.
Call me Mysterio!”
“Mysterio,
sounds better than Green Goblin at least.”
“I’m
not like the Green Goblin!” Mysterio said.
“You
didn’t destroy the Historia, but you have disrupted it.”
Mysterio
turned away. “You’re distracting me! SpiderGirl and Ninja Talon are rescuing
the critics and Ms. Jane.”
“They
will take the credit, but that is, like, worth it for Jane and the others to be
rescued.”
“But
can you keep distracting me if you don’t know where I am?”
“You’ll
find that I have powers of perception,” the Enigma said.
At
the same time, SpiderGirl, Ninja Talon and Jane swung out of the cabin, and
onto the roof.
“I’m
glad to be out of there,” Jane said.
“But
now we need to get away,” SpiderGirl said.
“There’s
a boat nearby,” Dafoanairi called from down from the ground.
“Is
there?” Ninja Talon asked.
“I
saw it as I approached. We can go back to Lawndale, up the creek, in it,”
Dafoanairi said.
“That
will work,” Jane said, “Even in this weather.”
“No!”
Kalina murmured.
“Where’s
the fourth vigilante?” SpiderGirl asked.
“She
went inside. She’s distracting Beck,” Dafoanairi answered.
“Then
we need to get a move on,” SpiderGirl said. “I’ll bring you up here.”
“Sure,”
Dafoanairi said.
‘If
she is Daria, she could put me in a difficult position,’ SpiderGirl thought as
she swung down.
Dafoanairi
let go of the rope and held onto SpiderGirl as she swung them both up onto the
roof. ‘There’s something about her,’ she thought, once she had a footing. She
wasn’t sure what to make of that thought. ‘I’ll think about it later.’
Mysterio
had activated illusions in the cabin’s main room. But the Enigma refused to let
herself be disoriented. She closed her eyes, and listened and used her enhanced
perception to ‘see’ where Mysterio was. She could also tell that, the other
three vigilantes were on the roof with Jane and the critics. “I’m sure they
have escaped by now.”
“They
are on the roof,” Mysterio said in a pompous tone. “They haven’t escaped yet.”
“What,
you have illusions on the roof?”
“No,
but I can still catch them, and I have more than illusions to work with.”
“Not
if I take you down. I will do anything to make sure that they get away,” the
Enigma said,
SpiderGirl
looked at the boat and back at the roof she and the others were still standing
on, despite the intensifying storm. The trees between them and the boat were
swinging wildly.

different path? What do you mean?”
“I chose
to live in the dark.”

“Either way, it would take a while to find her,” Daria said.
“We need to split up,” the Doctor said. “I’ll search the
courtyards with Ron and Rufus, and everyone else can check the bathrooms.”
“Ron and I work best together,” Kim said. “But I agree,
this time.”
“I would be best if there was a girl looking in the
courtyards too,” Quinn said.
“Good point,” the Doctor said. “You can come with then.”
“Great!” Quinn said.
Thus Kim, Daria and Kaelyn went to search the bathrooms.

“Excuse
me! Get out my way!” she said.
“Sorry,”
Kim said.
The girl
just stormed past her.
“Reminds
me of Bonnie, a little,” Ron commented.
“Same
here.”
It didn’t
take them long to find the Seniors.
“Ah! Kim
Possible,” Senior Senior Senior said.
“What are
you up to, Senior?” Kim asked.
“Preparing
a scheme here in Beverley Hills.”

“So, you do a lot different
kinds of art?”
“Of course. I use all sorts of
mediums.”
“Very versatile,” Daniela
commented.
“I’ve had to be adaptable,”
Freya said as she headed off towards the Library.
Olivia looked out over the
university and the city from the rooftop café after finishing her meal. ‘I have
called Urbs Aeterna home all my life, and yet I hardly understand it.’

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“We
have to make a move, now,” she decided.
“I
agree. It’s risky now, but we have to do it,” Ninja Talon said.
“I don’t
see any other way either,” Jane said.
SpiderGirl
looked at Jane, and she knew Dafoanairi was looking at her too.
“What?
I’m not only an artist. I run for fun too, and sometimes climb things,” Jane
explained.
“Got
it,” Dafoanairi said.
“Right,
Talon and I will fire a zipline and a webline to the same tree at the same time,”
SpiderGirl said. “Do you have more rope, Dafoanairi?”
“One
more loop, just as well I prepared for this” Dafoanairi said.
“Spidey
can take Kalina and Oliver. Dafoanairi can take Jane and I’ll take the other,”
Ninja Talon said.
“That’ll
work,” SpiderGirl said. “You two go first. I think Kalina’s going to take some
convincing.” She looked at Kalina, who still was huddling with her eyes closed.
“She’s
had it the worst,” Jane commented.
At
the same time, Leung and his fellow officers arrived. “Report,” he said to Peterson.
“Most
of the vigilantes are there,” Peterson said.
“Which
ones.”
“The
fourth vigilante is confronting Beck. SpiderGirl, Ninja Talon and Dafoanairi are
in the process of rescuing the abductees, but the storm is making it difficult.”
Leung
grabbed the binoculars and saw Ninja Talon shoot a zipline to one of the trees behind
the cabin. “We’ll give them another ten minutes. Then we’ll go in.”
Mysterio
tried to tackle the Enigma, but her forcefield held. “I might not be able to
take you down, but that doesn’t mean I can’t stop the rescue.”
“I’m
sure I can take you down, but I’m not sure what my powers will do to you.”
“Heroism,
funny how morals get in the way.”
“Antihero,
but morals are what’s between that and being a villain. I may want to confront SpiderGirl
sometime, but I don’t want to take her out,” the Enigma said.
“You’re
all talk,” Mysterio taunted.
“I
could squeeze that fishbowl helmet of yours, but I won’t. I could also tear
this place down around you, but some of the others are still on the roof.”
“You’re
still holding yourself back.”
“I don’t
want to join you,” the Enigma said as she broke the windows, letting the rain
and wind in. “That will disrupt the illusions.”
Mysterio
turned around and started walking away.
The Enigma
smirked and caused him to trip.
Ninja
Talon and the critic swung up to a tree.
“This
is dangerous!”
“Better
than staying there,” Ninja Talon said.
“We’re
next,” Dafoanairi said to Jane.
“I
know,” Jane said as she looked at where SpiderGirl was trying to sooth Kalina.
“Just
as well I can do this,” Dafoanairi said as she lassoed one of the trees. She
pulled and the rope held. “Ready?”
“As
I’ll ever be,” Jane said.
“Let’s
go.”
Jane
grabbed hold of Dafoanairi and they then swung into the trees next to Ninja
Talon. ‘Dafoanairi is just using wits and a staff. She’s ill prepared for
something like this,’ she thought.
“Kalina?”
SpiderGirl said. “I’m going to need you to hold on again. Can you do that?”
“I
think I can. You don’t know what it was like. He wanted me to critique his own ‘plays’.
He is all sparkle and no plot.”
“Like
some of Hollywood?” SpiderGirl asked.
“Wors,”
Kalina answered as she stood up. She still didn’t open her eyes.
SpiderGirl
sighed and stepped closer. “I’m right here.”
Kalina
through her arms around her.
“Now
you, Oliver,” SpiderGirl said.
