Transcript
A man lies in bed, then stands shirtless with his arms raised behind his head. He brushes his teeth in front of a mirror and turns toward the television. The television displays footage of burning buildings and emergency vehicles, with the text: “LIVE,” “BREAKING NEWS,” “WESTHAVEN INFERNO,” and “MYSTERIOUS SUSPECT SOUGHT AFTER MASSIVE FIRE.”

A braided-haired man wakes in bed, stretches, brushes his teeth, then stares at a television showing a city engulfed in flames.
About this chapter
Matthew Banks never asked to be Redline—and after learning that saving people can make him a target just as easily as a hero, he’s beginning to wonder why he should keep trying at all. But when a chance encounter brings an unexpected new friend into his life and a string of mysterious fires leads him to the dangerously unpredictable Ash, Matt is forced to confront what walking away from his powers can cost. As Westhaven burns around them, Redline and Ash collide in a brutal battle neither man may survive. And when the smoke finally clears, Matt must decide what being Redline truly means to him. Unfortunately, Ash walks away with an answer of his own: He knows who’s underneath the mask.
