A braided young man lies in a hospital bed as a curly-haired man sits beside him. Curly-haired man: “Man... I’m just glad you’re alive.” Braided young man: “...Yeah.” Curly-haired man: “Good, too.” Braided young man: “Why?” Curly-haired man: “I don’t know you well enough to fill out your will.” The braided young man laughs, and the curly-haired man reaches toward him. Braided young man: “Pfft—HA—” Braided young man: “AGH—fuck...” Curly-haired man: “Whoa—don’t do that!” Curly-haired man: “You made me laugh!” Curly-haired man: “That’s on you.” Braided young man: “...Thanks, man.” Curly-haired man: “Yeah.”

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.
