Ning returned to New Limaro after leaving Jun'Tal with his family. One of the first places he visited was the Star Hero Agency. The building was as busy as usual, with heroes and staff moving between offices, though none were able to see Ning arrive.
Several of Blake's clones handled different tasks at once, each one far too busy handling tasks that Ning could not even begin to imagine being required of him.
"Hey," Ning called out.
The main body turned toward him from far in the corner of the room.
"You're finally here. What did you do?" Blake asked as he walked over.
Ning raised an eyebrow. "That question could mean a lot of things."
"You know exactly what I mean," Blake said. "News from the summit has been spreading everywhere, and even though most of the reports are incomplete, everyone seems to agree that Blackfang was right in the middle of whatever happened."
Ning nodded once. "That sounds accurate."
Blake stared at him for a moment before lowering his voice.
