by Lucas Flint


  Yawning, I lay back down on my bed, rolled over onto my side, and pulled my blankets up to my chin. Closing my eyes, I tried to drift to sleep, but found I couldn’t. Not surprising. I had a lot to think about now, such as what my newly increased Fame would do for me, my growing reputation, my new Team, the guy who unleashed Dark Kosmos in the first place, and worrying about Atmosfear coming after me, among other things, but the most important thing on my mind now was acceptance.

  I missed the real world. I missed being a police officer. I missed my mother, my father, and my brother. I missed my friends. Most important of all, however, I missed Sally. She was the best woman I had ever met in my life. I had envisioned spending the rest of my life with her and raising children with her together. But thanks to Bryce Cunningham—thanks to Atmosfear—that was never going to happen. Ever.

  But it no longer bothered me quite as much as before. Capes Online might not be the real world, but it was my world now. I might not be able to drive a cruiser and go on high-speed chases with bank robbers, but I could patrol the streets of Adventure City with Cyclone and my Teammates, keeping Civilians safe and putting dangerous criminals and Villains behind bars where they deserved to be.

  Dark Kosmos was wrong about a lot of things, but he was right about at least one thing:

  Capes Online wasn’t just a game anymore. It was my life. My world.

  And I was going to protect it. No matter what.
