7 59606 08730 3 When they were younger, Nico Minoru, Chase Stein, Gertrude Yorkes, Karolina Dean, Molly Hayes and Alex Wilder became friends through circumstance: hanging out once a year every year while their parents had what they claimed was a dinner party. Then trauma made them a family: they ran away together after discovering their parents were actually murderous super villains. 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. Two years after Gert’s murder, Chase used her parents’ time machine to rescue her from the moment of death and brought her (with a nearly-fatal stab wound) to Nico’s apartment in the present. Nico frantically combined magic spells to heal her, but once Chase and Nico caught Gert up, she was reeling over the dissolution of the Runaways. Reuniting with her Deinonychus, Old Lace, helped, but Gert still wanted to mourn COVER ARTIST Victor by burying his belongings…except what KRIS ANKA they thought was a box of his personal effects LETTERER actually contained his head--in pristine condition.
