After watching her friend-and secret crush- Harvey Wellis dash in to try and help, she can’t help but lose to the urge to chase after him. She becomes injured in the flames, losing her speech and hearing capabilities, but successfully saves multiple lives.

However, what she doesn’t realize is that she’s just been put as a pawn in place for a world full of organized crime, a grieving villain, and a slew of crazy adventures. Will she be able to figure out the masked villain behind all of the crimes, and can she pass her next math exam? Let’s find out.
