Head Rush

Head Rush - Carolyn Crane Now I remember the question that haunted me throughout the 1st and 2nd books: How come Justine can zing but is no highcap?
Q:
I could see a truly desperate highcap coming forward for more money, but it would have to be a lot more. Hell, I’m just an overwrought human with the power to zing, and I wouldn’t want the Pentagon knowing about that. But if I were a highcap? You couldn’t pay me enough to get tested. Because what happens when the powers turn out to be real? What would the scientists want next? Where would you hide?

Q:
And with that we’re there for another ten minutes, and of course Dad wants to give Otto a demo, and Otto is happy to have his clothes, skin, and hair misted with antibacterial vapors.
And then it hits me: I’m engaged to marry my father.
My father goes to crazy extremes to defend against tinygerms and organisms, and Otto goes to crazy extremes to guard against larger threats—antihighcap glasses, criminals, sleepwalking zombies, my own free will. Hell, he’s even fighting the currents of fate as predicted by Fawna, and apparently, he has more battles in mind.

Q:
“This will all work out,” I tell them. It feels good to say it and mean it. It’s strange, this new sense of trust I have. I could never reach down and feel certain about important things like this before.
Now there’s no question of anything.

Q:
ou yourself changed, Justine. When the one who is to have the destiny changes in a profound way, the psychophysics of that person’s fate is forever changed. You transformed so much, so essentially, that the fate no longer applied. You are no longer that one

Q:
... even though there’s nothing virginal about our union. We have spent a gloriously unvirginal spring, followed by a totally unvirginal summer, together in our fabulous apartment we picked out.
