I Read Stories: A Gentleman's Agreement by Aimee Ogden

A Gentleman’s Agreement by Aimee Ogden in Kaleidotrope

The Cavalier is a superhero vigilante, who prowls Lakeside City at night, ready for swashbuckling swordfights on the rooftops. His dearest enemy is the Sphinx, who leaves riddles and clues to be uncovered, who has a code of honour and will meet a challenge with his own sword.

Doc Diablo is a different type of supervillain. His work will destroy the city, maybe the world. His clues lead the Cavalier into a trap – but not the elegant, cool type, the type that kills bystanders and wreck lives.

The Sphinx is the only one who might be able to solve this puzzle.
