Reunion

Saving her past could cost him his future.

Trauma has left telepath and former superhero Aiden Powell burned out. Now retired, he wants to focus on his new civilian career as an EMT and his budding romance with former colleague, Tanvi. He has no interest in the dangerous work that cost him both his parents and almost his life.

However, on the anniversary of his mother’s death, a strange woman approaches him. A woman who thinks Aiden is his father … and also that it’s 1998. Aiden’s mother is alive but flung over two decades out of her proper place in time.

Of course, nothing involving superpowers is easy. Aiden and his mother have just hours until the supervillain who took her away from her family the first time arrives in present-day Escondido for a contentious reunion.

With time running out, Aiden must race to save his mother while trying to avoid shattering the timeline that contains everyone he loves.
