After discovering their parents were actually the super villain team known as the Pride, the kids ran. The Runaways learned to use powers and resources inherited from their parents, and returned to defeat them. The experience made them a family, but that wasn’t enough to keep them safe. When Chase used Gert’s parents’ time machine to rescue her from her death years ago, the Runaways revival began. Gert’s return gave Nico and Chase direction--a change for the better. In fact, despite anxiety around her magic and some regrets, Nico is coming into her own. Molly and Karolina were forced through their own adjustments--Molly left her grandma and Karolina’s girlfriend left. But Gert and Victor have been stuck. Maybe her recent makeover was a sign Gert’s learning who she is in the present? Victor, on the other hand, is trapped by the trauma of the mission that left him as just a head, and his refusal to talk about it.
