For the Wells family, dinner approached completion. Wind from the
blizzard rattled the tree branches and whistled through the house’s
ornate eves. All the blinds in the breakfast room were pulled, covering
three walls of glass with honeycomb fabric.
“That was really good Indian Pudding, mom,” Janie Wells said, pushing
pitch-black falls of hair back from her ears. Her much-taller
year-older sister Jessamine Trishaset nodded enthusiastic agreement.
“Thank you,” Abigail Wells said. “My recipe, but Brian did all the work.
And grades? It being that day for you seventh and eighth-graders?”
“Mostly A’s,” Trisha said. “Except Gym. C-. GR, I have to be really
careful not to give away I’m a bit faster than the other kids.”
“I supppose faster than sound qualifies as a bit faster,” Patrick Wells
remarked. “And it’s good of Sunssword to go flying with you.” Trisha’s
father took off his glasses, and waved them in one hand. “Your mystery
patron supplied you, all three of you, with garb that does hide who you
are. Or would have, if you two hadn’t given things away.”
“Da-aad,” Brian complained, not quite seriously. “The other choice was
getting stomped flat by a giant robot. It could have appeared anywhere
in Massachusetts, and it just had to appear right in front of my school.
Besides I got A+s on everything. GR, they won’t let me get way above
grade level yet, not like you, Trisha, so you have a disadvantage.”
