It had been a week since the end of San Diego Comic-Con, but to Andrew, it felt like much more time had passed.
A lot had happened: the tournament, the fake identity, the encounter with Arik, Derek, and other future stars, and of course, Willa Holland.
To Andrew’s surprise, Willa ha...

Two days had passed since Luke regained consciousness.
During those days, he was discharged by Wednesday’s grandmother and was finally able to get out of bed without Wednesday scolding him.
He also had a conversation the night before with Edgar. It had been a long time since he last...

Preview Night at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 had opened its doors.
The contrast couldn’t have been greater: from the sweltering heat of the football field to the air-conditioned, massive convention center filled with posters, lights, displays, LED screens, and booths.
It wasn’t crowd...

“Enid,”
Luke was surprised by Wednesday’s response. He had almost forgotten that Enid had shown up in Sunnyvale—she even helped him face Niklaus and then went on to help Wednesday confront Gabriel.
“She helped you kill Gabriel?” Luke asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes...

Andrew returned to his team after the touchdown, once again shooting an arrogant look at the stands where Arik’s teammates seemed ready to tear him apart.
The black team once again opted for a one-point conversion from the 3-yard line.
This time, Andrew didn’t make any gestures or...

Luke still couldn’t believe it. He looked at Wednesday with a furrowed brow, trying to process what he had just heard.
“They presented the evidence? And we won? That fast?” he asked, confused. According to Wednesday, he had been unconscious for about ten days, and during that time, th...

“I love you,” said Wednesday.
Luke blinked, unsure of what to say. He hadn’t expected that the first thing he’d hear upon regaining consciousness would be those words coming from Wednesday’s mouth.

Shortly after, Natasha returned with Simon and Nick.
