Synopsis: Conductress, a powerful superhero with electrical powers, has always entertained a fondness for Laina, the young woman who makes suits for Conductress and her comrades. Laina is not just an armorer or costumer, but a sort of pro-bono therapist and friend to all the superheroes. That’s why it’s so hard for Conductress to believe her eyes when she finds a piece of an enemy’s suit and realizes it is made with the same design.
Conductress wants to believe it’s merely a copycat, but when her own archnemesis visits about his own equipment, both have to face the ugly truth that Laina has been dealing to both sides.
