Crimson Crusader flies above a city in flames and smoke. Crimson Crusader: “Okay...” Crimson Crusader: “Okay... easy...” He lands amid rubble. Sound effect: “THOOM” Crimson Crusader: “...Still working on that.” He looks toward a ruined, smoking building behind police tape and a police car. Crimson Crusader: “...Oh my gosh.” He crouches to inspect the debris. Crimson Crusader: “...What the hell did this?” The police tape reads “POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS.”

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.
