After discovering their parents were actually murderous super vil- lains, they ran away. The Runaways learned to use powers and resources inherited from their parents, and returned to defeat them. The kids won, but they didn’t all survive. When Chase recently rescued Gert from the moment before her death, he didn’t have a plan for what came next. Now Gert’s in a world that moved on without her. She and Chase can’t be together like they were, and their efforts to reunite the team stalled out after a visit to Molly’s home with her scientist grandmother where the young- est Runaway seems truly safe and happy--glowing- eyed cats, medical testing, and dark mystery base- ment notwithstanding. So Karolina is staying in col- LETTERER lege, Victor is pretending to stay dead, Molly is stay- ing with her blood family, and, with nowhere else to go, Gert decided to stay with the Hayes family, too.
