Chapter 17 | Page 4a: The Team-Up Talk (Patreon)

Sometimes the most dangerous thing two super-powered people can do……is communicate.

Today’s new page dives into something we don’t often see in superhero stories: grown-up relationship boundaries. Miss Match opens up about the infamous “Team-Up Talk” — the conversation every cape couple probably should have before adrenaline, close quarters, and spandex make things complicated.
