Starbolts #720: The Case of the Ex

 Hail!

    Yikes! Tanis is going to be in DEEP trouble next week. Now was probably not a good time or place to have a romantic interlude. Think about it. Not only are the Starbolts on a mission to save some civilians from Cyclone. The shuttle that Carter is driving once brought Firaxil and his parents to Earth. Before it was recovered by our heroes, it was in a cave in Kentucky collecting dust while her husband was abused by the Arronfelds. The Starbolts now use it as a means to transport groups of people on the ground at high speeds since it can never fly again. It can still hover, though! 

    The only saving grace here is there Josh will likely stay out of their way. Or will he? I don't know. I was initially going to write him as a nice guy. I think we've had way too many jerk exes in the comic and so I thought Josh being nice would be a great change of pace. Well,. we'll see how that goes.

    Then we come to Heidi's brother Alex. Alex is a kid. I would say he's about fifteen or sixteen. He's got some growing up to do. We'll be seeing how he interacts with Ellie and the other kids around his age at the Academy. Since he doesn't have powers (that we know of) we can safely say he might bite off more than he can chew. 

    There's not much I can say about Heidi and Alex's parents at the moment. They seem okay. I mean they were shocked to find that their daughter is a metahuman. But, I'm sure once they talk to the Whitefoxes they'll get over it. Time will tell. For now, though? I wouldn't want to be Tanis when he gets caught by Carter....and you know he will! Remember, this is the second time he had a tryst on a mission. This is also his second chance. Yeah....Things aren't looking good for Dragonfly.

See you next time!
