"Do you hear that?" Delores suddenly asked, signaling for Man Hunter to stop talking. Her ears perked up as she tried to focus on the faint noise she had just caught.
"Hear what?" Man Hunter asked, narrowing her eyes.
"That noise—" Delores started, but before she could finish, Man Hunter cut in with urgency, "It's coming from the elevator shaft. Hurry!"
Without hesitation, the two of them rushed toward the shaft, heading downward in pursuit of the sound. That's when they noticed it—a mud blockade, and above it, a massive man clad in green, spandex-like armor, prying open the elevator doors and stepping onto the floor.
Just as they were about to follow him, another figure emerged from the shadows. Delores' eyes widened. Without thinking, she accelerated toward him, calling out, "Ace!"
Before he could vanish again, she caught him. He struggled against her grip, but she held firm.
"Let go of me, Delores," he growled.
