"There she is," Eric commented, watching as the figure approached their group. "I wondered where Roxie disappeared to."
Alongside Roxie was Evan, whom she now treated like a pet due to his regression in power. The latter, having lost most of his power due to the disbandment of teams, was forced to accept the outcome.
It was disgraceful, yet he couldn't refute it without putting his life on the line. Furthermore, he needed protection and nurturing, something Roxie could provide. For now, he simply followed his new "master."
"Hello," Roxie greeted Ad Astra, and so did Evan.
Ad Astra reciprocated, waving and uttering words of greetings.
Suddenly, Roxie approached Alex in a hurried fashion before enveloping his arm using both of her hands. Stunned by the shocking display, the other members of the team couldn't utter a single word.
