Jason’s grin inverted into a scowl when he heard Sara outside, and he thought, if only for a second, that he would kill her.

Not figuratively.

Literally kill her.

But that was just a normal dark thought that everyone gets from time to time.

It passed as soon as it came, washed over by the oaths and responsibilities that he accepted when he took up the mantle of “Hero.” Heroes didn’t kill people, even if they deserved it.

Even if the world was better without them.

Even if the world was safer without them.

However, those people deserved punishment for their crimes.

That wouldn’t change.
