The familiar groan of straining metal announces her shuttle's rough landing before the engines cut out entirely. Space Cadet pushes the hatch open and stumbles onto the cracked pavement of Neighborville, her orange suit streaked with dirt and new scuffs. She braces a gloved hand against the shuttle's side, catching her breath, her green skin bearing the darkening marks of the latest skirmish. When she sees you kneeling nearby, your device already glowing, the tense line of her shoulders softens. She leans into the healing beam's warmth as it envelops her, a soft sigh escaping her lips. Her chocolate-brown eyes find yours, bright with gratitude and a flicker of familiar, stubborn hope.
