Starbolts #717: The Mind's Eye

 Hail!

    This week we get a little insight into the background of one of the academy's newest students! Her name is Heidi Monroe and it looks like she has quite a bit of baggage. What comic character doesn't have baggage at this point? At least we've learned quite a bit about Heidi's past. She was a supermodel on the fast track to being a household name like Anya Petrov. Anya, if you recall, is also a Starbolt and is Jack's girlfriend. I would say it's a small world. But, it's really just a small superhero community. The general public is unaware that Anya is also a superspy.

   Heidi's telepathic abilities manifested themselves at the worst possible moment. A photographer was ogling her and she had to get out of there fast. Though, she ran right into trouble when she arrived at Agents Academy, didn't she? Yeah. It turns out that Cyclone wanted her to gain information on the alien races the Starbolts encountered and to seduce one of them in order to get a Starbolt on their side.

    The plan might have worked if Heidi's heart wasn't into it. She didn't count on getting feelings for the Mosqukatara who turned out to be Tanis. Man, was she relieved when she found out the bug was really Tanis. Terrans wisely do not trust the bugs and for good reason. Their reputation as brutal conquerors precedes them. I mean they are basically Nazis in space. Sure Tanis is the son of a brutal dictator himself but he definitely doesn't take after his father!

    Now that Cyclone's plan has been revealed, what is Heidi going to do? Well, Cyclone doesn't know that their plan failed. So, I think our heroes are going to have to get her family to safety before something bad happens to them. We'll be meeting them fairly soon. Though, I think that trip is going to need a babysitter for her and Tanis as you know he'd want to tag along! I wonder who I can get for that job! We shall see!

 See ya next time!
