It was nearing midnight when the storm clouds rolled in and the first clap of thunder echoed across the island. Most people were inside already anyway, and those that weren’t quickly sought out shelter of some kind to get away from the rain and wind and lightning.

Mia, who had been working very late on some commissions, closed up the shop and stepped outside onto the street. The rain was cold, yes, but a welcome change from the summer heat. The wind messed up her hair but when she saw that first flash of lightning, she felt safe.

Zeus was a dickhead, she’d decided, but the powers he’d given her were pretty fucking awesome. Mia found a good place to stand, in the middle of a barely used street, and just tilted her head back to look at the sky.
