There never seems like a good place to cut away from the action, but rest assured we’ll be returning to Bruiser and Achilles soon enough.
In the meantime, we’re back in color. The previous two pages are still in need of coloring, but I figured it would be better to get back to the regular posting schedule, and I can go back later and add color.
thats a nice shiner on your cheek kid. and you look NOTHING like “dad”
Matthew may be bright but he’s making a whole lot of conclusions based on limited evidence. If being a superhero is due to mutant genetics, it doesn’t necessarily follow that one’s parents are also superheroes. For more fictional examples, look to Hermione Granger or Lily Evans. Neither of them had magical parents but they both ended up with magical powers. He also assumes that his dad is this woman’s husband when Bruiser hinted that he or Evers might be the father. If Matthew shows up at that fight, Bruiser may spill the beans to him and open a whole new can of worms.
Cartoon travel, the only way that we would have to worry about him getting to where the fight is within an hour of it being over.
And if Tech Support has invented a Time Machine, he can even get there before it happens….
But Matthew has no way of knowing any of that, plus all this has just happened to him. From where he is with what he knows and how his world seems to work—after all, Bruiser thought he might be able to pass his powers to a child, even though we’ve no evidence his own parents were metas, so I assume such things happen—Matt’s come to some fairly logical conclusions. Much more so than his superhero father is married to a super-villain’s ex-moll. That doesn’t exactly make sense even when we know it’s the truth. Not that life makes sense all that often.
