Excerpt from: The Youngest Barksdale

“Then let’s find her,” Daria suggested.

 

“OK,” Quinn said.

 

“But we have to be quick. She leaves rather quickly when school lets out,” Sandi said.

 

“Got it.”

 

 

They quickly walked out of the school to the front entrance.

 

They looked around, but they didn’t see Tori. “So, she’s blonde, right?” Daria asked.

 

“Yes,” Quinn answered.

 

“To her shoulders, usually worn loose,” Stacy added.

Excerpt from: Mysteries of Aurora

“That’s interesting.”

 

“There are many other campaigns, mostly in the Roman Era.”

 

“I suppose I could look into it, at some point,” Olivia said.

 

“Or you could watch let’s plays on VideoSpace.”

 

“Would there be any in Auroran?”

 

“Of course. Aurora’s gaming community is quite large for it’s population,” Janara answered.

 

“Got it. I’m heading to the Library again.”

 

“Already?”

 

“It may be early, but there is a lot to find,” Olivia said.

 

Janara turned to her. “Just don’t wear yourself out, OK?”

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn

SpiderGirl waited near Osborn’s room after reassuring Harry again. She had considered webbing up the corridor, but decided that wouldn’t be a good idea, given that it would take time for the cleaning staff to deal with. Soon, there was an echo as William slammed open the fire doors at the end.

 

“SpiderGirl!” he called out.

 

SpiderGirl could see that he was beginning to revert, but he was still mostly in his altered form. “William! I can’t let you hurt Osborn!”

 

“What? So his son won’t be an orphan?”

 

“That’s part of it! The other is that there are certainly others in Oscorp who are more responsible than he is.”

 

“But I don’t know who they are,” William said.

 

“I repeat what I said!” SpiderGirl stated as she saw the tell tale purple glow of the Enigma’s powers appear at the door behind William.

 

William continued running towards SpiderGirl.

 

 

Dafoanairi followed the Enigma into the corridor and saw SpiderGirl trying to keep William from entering a room. “Fire some warning shots over his head, but not near SpiderGirl,” she said.

 

“I suppose,” the Enigma said. “Low intensity,” she added as she pointed above William and then fired.

 

 

SpiderGirl saw the small projection fly over William’s head. “See, the fourth vigilante is here too, give up!”

 

“No!” William cried out.

 

SpiderGirl blocked the doorway.

 

“No!” William cried out again and tried to get past her. But he found that he couldn’t move.

 

 

The Enigma was trying to hold him in place telekinetically. “This is very difficult,” she said.
