Chapter 1

I lowered the binoculars that were pressed against my face and shook my head. “Maybe we should go back,” my sidekick, Andrew, whispered. I sighed dramatically, trying to make him cave.

“You said you weren’t going to quit this time, Andrew,” I reminded him.

“But don’t you think it will be worse when they find us?”

“When? Don’t you mean if?” I corrected.

“Come on, Leigha. You act like you want to die.”

“Die?” I asked skeptically. “They made me indestructible for a reason, am I right? I say this is the reason. They’re destroying this world and I’m superwoman, here to fix everything.”

“A teen superhero. Right,” he replied sarcastically.

“Clark Kent was, wasn’t he?”

Andrew rolled his big brown eyes and I laughed silently. “Well,” he started, “If we’re going to go through with this, shouldn’t we go?” I nodded, crawling from behind the lot’s bushes to behind a parked van.

“You know how to drive, right?” I whispered to Andrew.

“Er—no,” he said. Well that complicates things.

“You do have the keys don’t you?” I asked, desperately hoping that he had managed to steal them. When he nodded I let out breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding.

Andrew stuck his head up over the hood of the van and made sure the coast was clear then opened the car door. I climbed in first, crawling over to the passenger seat and he came in last, sitting in the driver’s seat. He took a deep breath, looking nervous, and started the car.

“You know maybe you should do this. You’re the indestructible one,” he said. I shook my head, not liking the idea of either of us driving but picking him.

“If I drive you into a pole, you die, not me,” I replied. He took another deep breath and started to reverse.

“Shift into drive now and lightly press the gas pedal,” I said soothingly.

“I know what I’m doing, Leigha,” he growled but followed my instructions. Soon we were slowly progressing down the road, away from the lab, away from everything I’d ever known.
