have classes on dramatic poses when they do their “Girl Power” class once a week.
    “No, see the problem is how sunny it’ll be,” Max tells her seriously. “If it were dark, I wouldn’t have to worry about Cold Steel giving people sunburns.”
    “Oh for crying out loud, this is ridiculous,” I mutter, reaching over and taking the mic from Malina. “Everyone plug your ears,” I tell the crowd before turning off the mic and tossing it toward my bandmates. One of them will grab it—I hope. I open my mouth and scream, hitting Max straight on and sending him flying backwards through the air. All that practice back at school, I think in wonder as Max pulls to a stop almost a mile away. I look behind me--none of the beautiful glass windows are even cracked. “Cool,” I say, grinning--
    At least I’m grinning until I’m lifted from the ground by Max’s gravity powers. The crowd cries in alarm, and I mentally groan. “I’m just trying to have a nice little conversation--” Max starts out.
    “I’m trying to do a concert!” I reply before screaming again. I fall as Max gets hit full on, but I manage to land on my feet. The crowd is cheering, but I really doubt this is the end of it.
    “You get back to the music, I’ll take care of this villain,” Emily says, poofing out of sight.
    “Sorry about the interruption, everyone,” I say as I turn the mic back on. “We now continue with your regularly scheduled concert.” We start playing again, since Emily and Max are nowhere to be seen--at least they aren’t until we call for a break. All of a sudden Max is thrown straight at me. I jump, catching him before he crashes into the stage.
    “Tie him up!” Emily says from where she’s standing on the roof of the church. She looks like a tiny avenging angel up there.
    I grab some of the cords from the stage and tie Max’s hands behind his back as she drops down next to us. Max gives her a surly look, but he’s not breaking free. “Stupid Liberty girl,” he complains.
    “Ladies and gentlemen, Divine Justice,” I say, introducing her properly. “Don’t ever let it be said that girls can’t play in the big leagues,” I add as they start to cheer. “Did you let her do that?” I ask Max silently.
    “She’s a lot trickier than her boyfriend,” he whispers, “she caught me off guard with one of the doppelgangers--I can show you the concrete dents to prove it.”
    “Hello, everyone!” Emily says cheerfully, holding Max’s familiar gold mic. “Wow, this thing is shiny--are you sure you’re not the one giving people sunburns?” she asks Max. I hear him snort. “My name is Divine Justice--I’m a Cape High student, and yes, I’m dating Kid Liberty. Before you jump to conclusions--do you see him here, saving me?” She hops onto the speaker she’s so fond of, crossing her legs and leaning back on her free hand. “I’m here to tell you what we’re REALLY doing. We aren’t here to kidnap your children, or whatever the rumor is--we’re here to recruit young supers.”
    The crowd looks around, as if expecting a young super to just show up. No one steps forward.
    “We’re also here to give a concert,” Emily says, “which Maximum just felt the urge to interrupt.”
    “Hey, Raindrop,” Max whispers in a theatrical way. “Raindrop, come here.” The audience can hear him--it’s being picked up by my mic. I can see them crane their heads to see what’s about to happen.
    Malina hesitates for all of a second before taking a step closer.
    “I don’t know what you’ve been told,” Emily goes on, playing oblivious, “but supers are here to keep you safe--ALL of you. Our hope is to take those like us, the teenage supers, in and give them a place where they can be themselves.”
    “Raindrop,” Max whispers again, giving her a pleading look, “this wire is really tight.”
    “You deserve it!” Malina says, her hands on her hips. I hear the crowd start to giggle. “You interrupted our
