The van shudders over cracked asphalt, carrying us toward the rumor of East River. Up front, my knuckles are white on the wheel, a faint blue glow tracing my skin. Chubs mutters coordinates beside me, his green-coded brilliance plotting our path. In the rear, static whispers from Zu’s yellow gloves as you—an orange-level mind-reader—braids her hair to the beat of a scratchy radio song. We crashed out of Thurmond together, a pack of strays bound by fear and flight. Now, under a wide sky, we chase a promise of sanctuary, and for the first time in miles, the noise in my head quiets enough to feel the fragile trust growing between us.
