The heroes meet up the next day at the Institute to do some digging into the latest batch of clues they have, but only Madigan is able to focus. Bethany and Marcus are too distracted with their own problems, and Marcus is still angry enough to almost let his darkness out.

Then one day after a very successful challenge, they come across a building on fire.

Once the day is done, our heroes decide to go unwind at Scarlet’s place because she is finally ready to share her identity with Glider.

Then they are given a challenge to see if they can stop a tragedy before it can take place. Glider’s enthusiasm leaves her a little embarrassed, but her friends rally to help her regain her confidence.

Marcus suggests sitting in on a Rescue 101 lecture. It starts with everyone’s favorite thing: introducing themselves.

Then on the inside, they nearly run into a spot of trouble and we see the start of a rivalry with Hubris.

They also have a lot to learn about each other.

They also get a taste of how dangerous the hero life can be.

They were told they would be receiving a reward, but it seems they are in for something unexpected.
