Maybe that was her name or the name of someone she knew. She could not understand the chatter of these humans that had found her and put into her such flabby clothes. Their speech reminded her of the sound of the caged monkeys that the Viceroys of the Empress had displayed in court. There was feeling of shock and betrayal with that memory. Another name came to her from the depths of her amnesic mind: <em>Darkfire</em>. Yes! She was Darkfire. She looked at the humans in the front seat of this enclosed wagon, and felt trapped. </p><p></p><p>“Who are you? Where are you taking me?”</p><p></p><p>The old, wrinkled one, looked at her strangely and spoke some more monkey-talk. She had to get out. She pushed on the door of the carriage. It gave under her superhuman strength and tore from its hinges. Darkfire dove from the vehicle and slammed into a mailbox sending letters and papers flying into the air. Anaka pressed hard on the brakes and came to an abrupt halt. He looked in the rear-view mirror to see the door bouncing on the street. A car smashed into the debris and another car crashed into it. Dr. Lu screamed colorful metaphors in Chinese. Anaka got out of the car and started moving towards the rain of paper. </p><p></p><p>She stood up unscathed leaving some of the North End restaurant-goers dumfounded and speechless. The neon lights, the tall buildings, and the carriages without horses were too much for Darkfire. She pushed a couple of the humans roughly aside and ran into the nearest alley. Anaka arrived in time to see her dart into the darkness and hesitated. Already, some of the by-standers were yelling at him to “Leave the girl alone.” Some of the more macho of the men, egged on by their companions started to move forward as if to restrain him. </p><p></p><p>Anaka stared at them and tore off his shirt exposing the dragon tattoos. He glowed noticeably. </p><p></p><p>“OK, which one of you wants to be a hero?”</p><p></p><p>**</p><p></p><p>Fortunately, Dr. Lu had more presence of mind than to go after the alien girl alone. He dialed Slipstream. </p><p></p><p>In no time flat, Captain Valor, Slipstream, Sonmus, and the Warwolf landed between the gang of impromptu heroes and Dragonfist. </p><p></p><p>“Whoa dudes!

However, there was no time for a quick rebuke. Slipstream had informed him of the woman and described the flying aliens, confirming his suspicions. For some reason, the D-soliders wanted to capture her and he really wanted to deprive them <em>and</em> Her, of the quarry. </p><p></p><p>He turned to Dragonfist speaking in his low guttural voice, “Where did she go?” </p><p></p><p>Dragonfist pointed and Warwolf sniffed the ground. </p><p></p><p>“Whatcha got, Scooby?” asked Slipstream.</p><p></p><p>Warwolf gave him a baleful glare, “Don’t ever call Warwolf that, again?”</p><p></p><p>“’Kay, Marmaduke.
