Story Issues

Issue 07

The Nationalist, an ultra-conservative extremist, begins targeting Galatea Future's friends and allies, including Elite Ice and Candace Sinclair.

At the end of the issue, The Nationalist confronts Candace and threatens to punish her for being a lawyer. As she cowers in fear and begs for her life, her eyes suddenly glow and she say "Just LEAVE ME ALONE!" The Nationalist's eyes also glow and he silently flies away.

Candace suddenly realizes that she did that and she begins to cry in fear.

Issue 08

Candace turns to Galatea for help after her confrontation with The Nationalist. Unfortunately, Galatea was in a remote meeting with Major Cross in her secure room. While waiting, Candace begins to ponder what happened to her and the consequences of people knowing she has powers. In a fit of panic, she wishes she never knew she had powers.

Shortly afterward, Galatea emerges from the secure room to see Candace simply standing in her dining area. Candace has no idea why she is there or what she wanted to talk to Galatea about. She rushes off.

In the climactic battle against The Nationalist, the extremsist is knocked to the dome of City Hall. An unseen person then incapacitates The Nationalist and renders him unconscious.

Later that evening, a strange woman is seen in the Renaissance Center. Mental narration shows she is not from the world of the Champions, and says she will find out who is responsible for bringing her here... "And then PSYCHE will make them pay!"

Issue 09

A woman named "Psyche" begins taking down criminals just outside the Renaissance Center. She is clearly distressed by an internal argument with someone named "Malizia". A bystander says that Psyche resembles the main character in Athena Rose Fairmore's book series. This surprises Psyche. She asks for assistance with transporting the criminals to jail, but the officer brushes her off since she doesn't have the proper hero identification. She says that "Galatea" would vouch for her, but appears surprised that the officer recognized her as "Galatea Future". He says he would hold the criminals in jail for a few hours until Galatea can vouch for Psyche's credentials and then points her to a nearby SOCRATES terminal to find Galatea.

Meeting with Major Cross to review what happened with the takedown of The Nationalist, Galatea is told she will be getting a visit from the FBI.

Psyche's experience with SOCRATES is frustrating for her, since SOCRATES does not recognize her as a hero. SOCRATES suggests she registers at Champions HQ. Once there, she is rebuffed by the PRIMUS soldier working at the desk, who does not accept her orgin story as being legitimate. "Malizia" takes over Psyche's body, and then takes over the solider's mind, forcing him to create a hero ID for her and give her full access to the SOCRATES system before wiping his memory of the act.

Psyche later helps Galatea by stopping a woman who suddenly developed telepathic powers from going into a homicidal-suicidal spree, but is dumbfounded to learn that even Galatea refuses to admit she is who she claims to be. "Malizia" again takes over, holding Galatea in her place and letting her know they will be in touch again soon, but not before making reference to someone from Galatea's past.

Elsewhere in the Renaissance Center, Candace Sinclair wakes up on a park bench, not knowing how long she's been asleep.

Days later, Galatea - in her guise as Athena - is visited by Agent Wednesday of the FBI's Extra-Perception Investigation Division, who then accuses Candace of being a telepath.
