Danna whistled under her breath. “You two are impossible,” she muttered. “In fact, all four of you are driving me nuts.”

“No. The effects of Agent N are permanent and irreversible. Make no mistake, this is a dangerous substance, and going forward, we will expect that it be handled with utmost care at all times.”

“This is a clear corruption of power. They can’t just send patrol units out on the streets with this stuff and expect that mistakes won’t be made. That people won’t let their emotions get away from them. What about a fair trial? Evidence? What if someone makes a living using their ability, and then it gets taken away, without a second thought?”
Ren
I can't believe a teenager is the one making this argument when the concerned adults should have been the ones to consider this before the serum even got released.

“But that’s not what’s happening here. This is oppression, pure and simple. If they succeed, the Renegades will be putting themselves even higher above everyone else than they already have. There will be no one to challenge … us. No one to stand in our way or keep us from achieving total power, and then where will humanity be?” “It will still be better off than it was in the hands of the villains,” said Danna.
Ren
What a teenager way of thinking

“And who should we entrust with such a decision?” rasped Phobia. “Fate? The whims of chance? The Puppeteer was a fool and now he is suffering the consequences.”
Ren
The Anarchists are going to crumble to the ground if only because of how unstable their loyalties lie to each other

“This is … amazing,” said Nova, and she meant it. “But why isn’t all this under more security?

“Please. We’re in Renegade Headquarters.” He spread his arms wide. “Who would try to break in here?” She gawked at him. “Really? That’s…” Arrogant, she wanted to say. Asinine. Completely, unrealistically overconfident.

“You don’t know that. I just need to be sure. Maybe Captain Chromium installed some sort of backup—a way to get to the helmet, in case it was ever needed again and he wasn’t able to open the box himself. A … key, of sorts. Or is there some other way that someone could open it? Even hypothetically?”
Ren
Lol she's so obvious. How are none of them catching this?

“If you think of anything else,” said Nova, “any possible weakness that box might have … will you let me know?” “I will,” he said, smiling. “I promise.”

Callum pointed at Adrian. “You know, I should probably check that you’ve been given clearance, but … bah, who am I kidding? Of course you can see it. Come on back.” He waved his arm.

“We had a deal. The puppet, in exchange for information. You promised to tell me who killed my mother.” Winston clicked his tongue. “No, no. I promised to tell you something you would want to know.”

Adrian’s hand squeezed tighter, until he could feel his nails digging into his palm. He’d known better than to trust an Anarchist. He’d known.

The biggest problem was that their time at the carnival had made Adrian painfully aware of how much he had started to like Nova. Really like her.
Ren
And that's a REALLY big problem, bud

“No,” Adrian said. “I didn’t sacrifice my powers.” “Then what is happening in this video?” said Hugh. “The poor security guard on duty nearly had a heart attack when he saw this.”
Ren

“No, you’re clearly a neophyte when it comes to … this.” She mimicked his gesture. Rather than laugh, as she expected, Adrian’s small smile turned to a confused frown. “Neophyte?” “Sorry,” said Nova, chuckling again, and wondering if it was possible for her to be any more terrible at this. “It means amateur.” “I know what it—” Adrian caught himself, and his frown deepened further. She could see him contemplating something as he stared at her.

His fingertips brushed her jawline, and that was all she needed. Skin touching skin. Realization spread over Stingray’s face. The amateur mistake he’d just made. Then he tipped onto his side with a heavy thump.
