human girl.”
    Sia’s eyes swam with frightened tears as Crev’s lips curled into an ominous smile that chilled her to the bone. “Please, I don’t know what’s going on here, but you have to let me go. I-I-I’m just a waitress who gets paid $6 an hour. I’m a nobody!” 
    Crev caressed the provan and the glowing stopped.
    But to Sia’s horror, a thin blade protruded from the end pressed to her midriff. She watched in revulsion as the provan partially lifted its clammy tentacles from her body, providing a perfect angle to plunge the scalpel deep into her chest.
    “We’ll be the judge of that, human. Now brace yourself, this is going to hurt…a lot.”
     
    Sia emitted a bloodcurdling scream the second the blade pricked her quivering skin, drawing out ruby red blood.
    Then she felt a gust of wind sail past her as Crev was suddenly lifted off his feet and thrown against the wall. Turk rushed forward, confusion etched all over his face; a figure loomed over him, smashing a luminous green jar over his head, slimy fluid seeping from its confines onto the floor.
    The provan was ripped from her body and Sia’s skin crawled at the rattling whimper that escaped the crude device when it was broken under a sneaker-clad foot. Sia’s gaze fell in amazement on none other than Q as he leaned over her and sought to untie her.
    “It’s ok, we’re getting out of here.”
    “How did you…”
    “I’ll explain later. Right now I need you to shut up and do your fucking window trick. Capiche?”
     
    Even though still reeling, new courage awoke deep inside her.
    “Hell yeah!”
     
    They started to run. Sia wasn’t out of shape, but Q still outstripped her by a few steps.
    He grabbed her hand, pulling her forward with him.
    A jet of heat zipped past her ear and hit a pillar ahead, dissolving graffiti and plaster with acid fluidity.
    She glanced behind her and saw Crev giving chase, clutching some sort of pistol. Q forced her head down as more lasers narrowly missed them, dissolving a few more glass jars and part of their exit. As they reached the threshold, her savior spun, lifting his hands and sending a stream of purple lightning at the door, causing it to crackle with pulsing electricity.
    He and Sia surged toward a large window overlooking the alleyway she had been abducted from. Without thinking twice, Sia grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher and made forceful contact with the stubborn glass. It gave way and before she could blink, Q scooped her into his arms and jumped through the broken window. He landed gracefully before transferring Sia onto his back and sprinting toward the main road.
    “You’re giving me a piggy-back ride! How are you even doing this?!”
     
    Purple lightning and incredible speed and strength? Unless Sia was mistaken, Q was in fact also an alien.
     
    “It’s an alien thing, but you probably already guessed that,” he craned his neck and grinned.
     
    The sidewalks were littered with dozens of people outside the diner.
    Most cried out sharply as a red BMW 325i was suddenly launched into the air and flew into a hot dog vendor’s stand. The proprietor cursed and shook his fist as his business turned to kindling.
    Crev sprinted manically across the road, expertly jumping onto the hood of a Jeep Grand Cherokee V-8 barreling down on him before somersaulting over it just to sidestep a city bus and land on its door; he used his own center of gravity to sprint sideways just underneath the windows with passengers staring aghast at his antics. If it had been a different situation, Sia certainly would’ve given the evil alien points for style alone. Her eyes widened in horror when Crev landed on the road and transformed the gravel beneath his feet to black pebbles that flew every which way as he rode the ground like his own personal wave. Q came to a stop and put Sia on her feet as he stood ready to face Crev.
    “He’s getting closer!” Sia yelled.
     
    Q brought his left foot down sharply on the
