anything.
“That’s a very specific and ironic mantra,” Selena said.
“I guess it is. Fortunately for me, though, I think this is one fight I can win.”
With that, Genna lunged across the room and grabbed me by my shirt. She threw me straight up, right through the top of the museum.
It was time to find out what these white-eyed Supers were made of.

White vs. Blue
I flew back down through the hole in the ceiling I’d made, and slammed into the room right as Genna punched Selena, sending her flying through the back wall.
The three male Supers took a step towards me, and when Genna turned and saw me standing there, I was officially surrounded. I made eye contact with the teenage boy and gestured my head towards the exit. He slowly got up and inched towards the door. When he saw the other Supers weren’t going to do anything, he took off running, and the rest of the hostages in the room took off too.
I never took my eyes off Genna the whole time. “You know when we’re done here, I’ll just find them and kill them all,” she said.
“You sound like someone who likes to make goals. I’m sure you’ll try your best to meet that one,” I said. My eyes wandered behind her and I saw Selena flying towards her.
Genna shook her head. “No, I won’t try very hard at all.” A smile flicked across her face as she turned and caught Selena by the fist right before she reached her.
I leapt forward to help Selena, but multiple hands grabbed me and pulled me back. I shook the first one off my shoulder, and then swung upwards behind me with my left hand, knocking the other arm off me. I reached around with my freed right hand and grabbed the last hand around my waist, and twisted it as I turned around, sending one of the Supers flipping to the ground. I twisted with a crack, snapping his arm.
The Asian guy lunged at me and I ducked down. I reached up as he flew over me, caught him by his shirt, and slammed him into the ground. I kicked behind me at the third Super who was coming at me with a shard of glass—as if that was going to do anything. My foot connected with his chest and he flew backwards into the wall.
I turned to get back to helping Selena, but she and Genna were nowhere to be seen, and there was now a new hole in the ceiling.
A scream from behind interrupted me before I took off. I turned and saw the Super whose arm I broke clutching his arm as it slowly repaired itself. I prepared myself to unleash another attack on him, but something stopped me before I did.
His eyes.
They were no longer glowing a bright white, but were now a piercing blue, just like mine and the rest of the Supers.
I looked through the hole in the wall I’d made with the Super I kicked through it, and saw a blue glow coming from the next room over. I looked down at my feet, and the Asian Supers eyes too were glowing bright and blue as he picked himself up from the ground, dazed and confused.
Before I had the chance to ask what was going on, however, part of the ceiling caved in. Genna slammed into the ground, and Selena landed on top of her. Genna’s eyes were definitely still white, and if the look on her face was any indicator, they were filled with rage.
She lifted her legs up and wrapped them in front of Selena. She slammed her to the ground, and rolled on top of her. I leapt towards her, tackling Genna off Selena and pinning her to the ground. Selena scrambled over and helped me pin her down. Genna struggled, but her strength was no match for both Selena and I.
“What are you doing here?” I yelled. “Why are your eyes glowing white?”
Genna spat in my face. “You’re pathetic, Kane Andrews. You fight with blinders over your eyes. Stumbling through this world with no direction. You can’t even see what’s right in front of you!”
A body slammed into my side and I flew off Genna and through a wall. I got up as fast as I could, and saw one of the Supers from earlier helping Genna up, his eyes once again
