Chapter – XXVII “Good morning Danielle, how are you feeling this morning?” Doctor Miles asked as the young woman came into his office. He would have preferred to conduct her check-ups, the frequency of which had been reduced from daily to weekly, in the much better equipped infirmary. However, […]
Chapter – XXVIII “The ethics of heroism are intimately tied to the history of heroism” Dean Smith said, standing before the class of young supers. The class was certainly smaller than it had been to start the year. “After all,” he continued “part of knowing where you are is knowing […]
