Synopsis:
Mark, one of Claudette Meyler's students, shows up at her
apartment and is brusquely rebuffed by a woman he doesn't
recognize and who claims that Claudette no longer lives. The
woman is actually She-Cat, transformed after her bond with
Octavia Howard. Meanwhile, off Jungle Island, Nightveil
comes aboard Janis and Tara's boat and tries to get Janis to
open up her feelings after her recent reconciliation with
Tara. They are soon joined by Colt, but as she, Tara, and
Janis drive through the jungle in a jeep they are attacked
by government agents who do not know that the Femforce have
been cleared of the destruction of the Fremont Building. The
outcome of the battle is uncertain until the odds are tipped
by the unexpected arrival of the savage She-Cat. With the
misunderstandings cleared up and the agents gone, She-Cat
explains the nature of her bond with Octavia and why that
bond will ultimately prove unstable - the youth formula
Octavia developed is causing her to age backwards. Already a
young child, she may not have much time left before ceasing
to exist. |
