Summary

A scrappy new team of teen supers Fetch (Molly Ostertag,) Snowflake (Noelle Stevenson,) (Lola Binkerd,) and The Bandicoot (Ben Joseph) are still finding their feet in the superpowered metropolis: Halcyon City.

Luckily, they have each other. Hopefully that will be enough. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
