Destination Switched - Snippet from Starrella Falls for #WeWriWa #SciFi Superheroes

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors. Writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and read our snippets.

I’m continuing the scene from: Starrella Falls, Book 2 in the Secret Supers, for a little longer. You can read the first chapters HERE.

Background: Estelle and Toby are superheroes and their telepathic animal partners are Rockette, the flying mare, and Growler, the jaguar.
Toby knocks out the wanted murderer, Croaker, and Mark Copper offers to take Croaker to the police station. After Mark drives off, Diane accuses him of wanting the reward for Croaker. Toby offers to take Diane and Estelle to their rooms.  


Toby said little as they walked along the dark streets, and Estelle decided he was worried about Croaker. Luckily, Diane kept up a lively chatter until they reached her dorm.
Pulling her student card from her purse, Diane said, “Thanks for the escort, Toby.” She swiped the card reader and entered quickly, calling, “Bye guys!”
When the door swung closed again, Toby squeezed Estelle’s wrist and whispered, “Heard from the bird yet?”
“Let me check,” Estelle thrust out a mental summons. A second later, Rockette answered, “Car’s on the highway, driving north; want me to keep chasing it?
“Dupree Air Base,” Toby said, tugging Estelle away from the residence hall. “Copper wasn’t after the money. Reckon he’s taking Croaker to the military jail.”

  2. Oh, I wonder why he's heading that way. Best to keep Rocket on him to see what he's up to. I love the intrigue in this snippet!

  3. I kinda get the impression Toby somehow heard Rockette's telepathic response. Or was it just a phone call of some sort.

    1. Rockette can talk telepathically with the jaguar, Toby's companion, so Toby can get the message indirectly.

  4. Even more intrigue! Great snippet.

  8. I still don't trust him -- and now I wonder if they're working together (and with the military) against our heroes. (Paranoid, ain't I?)

  10. I wonder why he's taking him to the base instead? Intriguing!

    1. Yes, the telepathic companion animals are my unique angle to this series.

  12. The horse is a pigeon? LOL I guess a horse galloping after a car would be attention getting. Nice snippet. I can feel the tension rising.

    1. I know, it's a crazy mix of shifters! Guess what the jaguar transforms into!

  13. Hopefully Croaker will stay IN the military jail...

  14. The words "Air Base" give me a bad feeling about where this is heading.

    I also got a little confused on Toby's explanation of the Air Base. Did he hear Rockette say that mentally? That didn't seem clear to me.

    1. Sorry, it is a bit confusing. He can't hear Rockette directly, but Rockette is also talking with Toby's jaguar companion. Maybe I should add an explanation.

  15. I get so many conflicting feelings reading over this bit. On one hand, this whole military jail thing is giving me a bad feeling something big is going to go down. And yet, the way the telepathic conversation is done gives me nostalgic fuzzies.

    1. I guess that's good? The idea is to induce emotions in the reader.
