“We’re pretty sure it was the weapon she used on Max, too. There was blood on it. They’re going to run tests.”
Finger.prints.
She is supposed to be some genius inventor, right? She
“I’m glad you’re here, ” he said. But just as Nova’s heart began to flutter, he added, “I’m glad you’re on my side.” She allowed a wisp of a smile in return. “What other side would I be on?”
“Operation Crown Jewels.” Nova and Adrian gawked at him, speechless for a moment, before Adrian cleared his throat. “Uh . . . what?” “You know. Crown jewels . . . rubies . . . get it?” Nova’s eyes narrowed skeptically. “Isn’t that a euphemism for . . .”
Here’s what I’ve got so far.” He cleared his throat. “Rubies are red, your eyes are blue . . .” “Stop, ” said Nova. Oscar froze. “What?” “Her eyes are hazel, ” she said.
But it wasn’t exactly a fair fight, was it? Because somehow, she had Agent N. She had your weapon.”
“It’s time we face the truth. Our leaders are incompetent. The Council is playing with things they don’t understand, things they have no real control over, and worst of all, they are risking our lives and our abilities in order to do it!”
Shes sinking her own ship
Peeling the band from her skin, she threw it at her feet. Mack and Trevor did the same, tossing their wristbands into the rubble.
Minions
“Are these . . . ?” “Lemon-coconut-shortbread cookies with white chocolate centers, ” Oscar said, his ears turning pink. “Yes. Yes, they are.” Ruby gawked at him. “That’s . . . my mom makes . . . these are my favorite!” “Yeah, I know.” Oscar cleared his throat awkwardly and held the tin toward Nova. “I, uh, called your mom for the recipe.”
“But who else has access to it?” said Ruby, stealing another cookie from the tin. Adrian fixed her with a serious look. “We do.” “Whoa, ” muttered Oscar. “You totally just gave me chills. But what does that mean exactly?”
That was stranger than anything. The fact that he still wasn’t talking.
He knows
inspecting Nova like he knew something. Her pulse thundered. “I know this sounds weird, ” he added, “but she seemed familiar.”
Oooooh
What if she’s a spy?” His head cocked to one side. “What if she’s a spy.”
She realized that Callum didn’t want her to be Nightmare. He was searching for a reason to doubt his own suspicions.
Awww callum
“She’s short, ” said Callum. Nova’s words, whatever rambling thing she was going to say next, evaporated on her tongue. “Excuse me?”
Omg hahahahaha imagine
“She’s short, ” he repeated. “Like you.”
was there anything else you noticed about Nightmare? Anything that could help us . . . pinpoint her . . . ?” He stared at her. Really stared.
But just before slipping out the door, she paused and turned back. Her expression softened. “You know, I really am glad you’re okay.”
QB’S ROOM—BLACKMIRE
Either magpie or frostbite. Cuz callum won't straight up acuse her, hes suspicious of her but not to the point of blackmaill
“No-va . . .” She froze. Her arm fell limp at her side. “Adrian?”
Brooooooi
in the dark, you sort of looked . . .”
“I’m shocked the Sentinel was able to capture him.” Adrian’s mouth twisted into a frown and she could tell he wanted to say something
The helmet was gone.
Holy moley
The voice sounded faintly familiar.
Tina? Prism?
“Narcissa?”
Omg the mirror!!! Of course
the Rejects,
The who?? Oops 😬 🤭
we would use it to restore balance to this world. The balance that’s been destroyed by desperate power-seekers like the Anarchists and the Renegades.
Not bad but like who asked
“All right, then, ” said Honey, dragging a pointed nail down the back of a plump bumblebee that was crawling along her pinky finger. “Shall I have the honors?” Leroy yawned. “I’ll warm up the car. Do you think it’s best to drop the body into the bay or the river?” “The river is closer, ” said Honey. “And I don’t really think anyone’s going to miss her, despite this talk of Rejects.” Her smile became wicked. “I’ll call the bluff.”
I love them
“Great marvels, ” muttered Leroy. “She’s decent at faking courage, at least.”
“Rejects forever! Power to prodigies!”
And they claim theyre not power hungry?
can wait, Danna. You need to eat and rest and—” “It can’t wait.”
“Nova is Nightmare.”
Dun dun dun😭😭😭its been a pleasure to read this book, thank you to the author and the academy, everyone that worked on it. It is a true masterpiece. Im jappy i own this now
Nova nestled Ace’s helmet inside the plastic bin
The necklace 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
the Vitality Charm. Honey, did you grab the Vitality Charm?”
Thank goodness
“Nova!” someone yelled. Her breath left her. Adrian. “Nova, it’s me! We need to talk!” The bomb. The chemicals. Nothing will be recognizable when I’m done with it.
Fu adrian ruining the escape
You’re—”
Under arrest?
She turned her head just as Adrian, too, tore his attention from the destroyed house and looked at her, his mouth hanging open, the back of his Renegade uniform streaked with soot. “Are you okay?” she said.
She just saved your sorry life dude
he scooted closer and held a hand out to her. Exhaling, she slipped her palm into his
Oh the player gets played. Or the betrayer gets betrayed
His other hand reached for the clasp on the bracelet.
No
“But that’s . . . My father made it. It’s all I have. You can’t . . . Adrian! Evidence of what?”
Im crying not the bracelet dude
“Evidence of your crimes against society and the Renegades.” He winced, as though he were in physical pain, when he said, “You’re under arrest . . . Nightmare.”
Sorry not sorry you guys deserved it
He’d been kissing her and then he’d fallen asleep, and he was such a fantastic idiot for not drawing a connection sooner.
Fantastic idiot, welcome to the fantastic 4.5
“She kissed me, ” he interrupted. “She made me think that I . . .” He trailed off, just short of confessing the brutal words that had been clinging to him since the moment he’d found out the truth. I could be in love with her.
he dropped the bracelet into her palm.
Faceplamed so hard i gave myself a concussion
Adrian really had taken it from her, the last connection she had to her father.
She had been alone then, and she had known it. No family. No one to take care of her. No one to help her be brave. No one to help her through this. Until Ace had come and she had remembered—no, she wasn’t alone. She still had family. She still had Uncle Ace, and it was all she had, and she had grasped on to that small piece of comfort as tightly as her trembling little fists could.
“None of you have the authority to question the Council’s decisions in such a disrespectful manner.” Adrian gulped, unable to recall ever seeing Tamaya Rae so livid. And all because a group of Renegades had dared question the Council? Surely they were allowed to do that, right?
Ace Anarchy has been sentenced to death.”
Wtf
“Nightmare deserves the same fate. Nightmare must die—and I want to be the one to do it.”
Greedy lil thing
“We accept.” “No, ” Adrian whispered, shaking his head. Ruby’s hand squeezed tighter around his arm. “They can’t let her . . .”
