Lady X has made a choice no hero should have to make.

To stop the power-mad Patriot-Girl, she’s struck a deal with the enemy — and now she has to make Echo understand. But Echo answers to no one, and she doesn’t like what she’s hearing. With Acolyte waiting in the wings, what begins as an explanation spirals fast: powers turned on a friend, a desperate gambit, and a fight neither of them wanted. Acolyte proves as ruthless as ever dealing with Echo and forcing Lady X to make a choice.

Lady X thought she was keeping Echo safe. By the end, she’ll wish she’d never made the deal at all.
