Free The Superhero's Powers (The Superhero's Son Book 4) by Lucas Flint Page A

made perfect sense why Thaumaturge—and, through him, Robert—wanted me alive: Robert wanted to kill me himself. I doubt Robert would ever tolerate anyone else killing me, though that was hardly a comforting thought.
    “But we really don't need to fight,” said Tornadess. She held out a hand. “If you would just give us Bolt, we would be more than happy to trap you in this ship and sink it to the bottom of the ocean with you three still inside it.”
    “Sink the Spinner ?” said Mimic. He stood up from his seat and drew a gun from his side. “Never!”
    Mimic pulled the trigger, shooting a bullet at Tornadess and Ring Out. But the sound of the bullet being fired was deafening inside the enclosed space, making me slam my hands over my ears, while Dad—who had been standing between Mimic and the two mercenaries—held up a hand and summoned a barrier from his gauntlet I'd never seen before.
    The bullet bounced off the barrier and ricocheted off the walls, making more noise, but it didn't hit anyone. Dad, however, sounded very angry when he lowered his hand and snapped at Mimic, “Mimic! Watch where you're shooting. Whose side are you on anyway?”
    Mimic looked flustered by Dad's anger, but Ring Out said, “Who cares? It's pretty damn obvious at this point that you won't be coming peacefully. Get ready to rumble!”
    Ring Out launched himself through the air toward us. Dad, however, raised his gauntlets and unleashed a brief burst of electricity that hit Ring Out dead on.
    But instead of getting knocked out of the air, Ring Out just landed on the floor and punched Dad. Or tried to; Dad quickly teleported out of Ring Out's reach, causing Ring Out to lose his balance and fall flat on his face.
    “Ungf!” said Ring Out. He pushed himself up and shook his head. “Stop moving and let me punch you.”
    “No,” said Dad. He pointed his gauntlet at Ring Out. “I think it's time you took a nap.”
    But before Dad could shoot a laser at Ring Out, a powerful blast of wind suddenly came out of nowhere and struck Dad. It sent him flying and he crashed onto the floor, rolling until he hit the back of the passenger seat next to Mimic, who was now cowering behind the pilot's seat like he was trying to avoid being seen by the mercenaries.
    “Dad!” I shouted. “Are you okay?”
    Dad groaned and sat up, shaking his head. “Yes, but get your mother to safety. There's an escape pod on the left side you can hide in until we beat them. In the meantime, I'll deal with these two.”
    I was about to offer to help before I remembered that I was powerless, so I just nodded and helped Mom out of her seat. We made our way around the seats, heading for a door that was marked 'ESCAPE,' but then I heard Tornadess shout, “Oh, no, you don't!”
    I looked over my shoulder in time to see Tornadess aiming her hands at me and Mom, but then Dad fired what looked like two small disks out of his gauntlets. The disks struck Tornadess's hands, causing her to jerk her hands back to her chest as they bled.
    “Ow!” said Tornadess. She glared at Ring Out. “Why are you still on the floor? Get that brat's dad while I go after the kid himself.”
    Ring Out nodded, rose to his feet, and ran toward Dad again. But Mimic aimed his gun and fired again, forcing Ring Out to duck to avoid getting shot.
    I turned away from the fight and brought Mom—who seemed to have become petrified with silence—over to the door labeled ESCAPE. I pulled the door open, but before I got inside, Tornadess flew over to us, lightning crackling between her fingers.
    “I've got you now!” Tornadess yelled in a mad, gleeful voice. “Die!”
    Tornadess shot lightning bolts at us. I shoved Mom to the side and dropped to the floor myself as the lightning bolts struck the door. The sound of the lightning bolts impacting the door was deafening inside the space of the Spinner , briefly leaving me unable to hear anything.
    But I could see Tornadess, who landed on the ground in front
