"I'm exhausted," Josephine comments as she enters her dorm room, throwing her bag in the corner before flopping onto her bed. "The days are just getting longer and longer," she says into her pillow.

Ring, ring, ring!

"Hello?" she greets.

"You sound exhausted Josie," Phoenix comments on the other end, "What have I told you?"

"I know, I know, but I can't just let them kill themselves," she replies.

"That's it when I get there I'm taking you out on a date," Phoenix states.

"I miss you Nixy," she says into the phone.

"I miss you too Josie, the good news is that you won't be waiting much longer," he replies.

"Really?!" she exclaims as she sits up, "When will you be arriving?"

"On Sunday sometime in the afternoon," he informs.

"That's great news," she replies with a gleeful laugh.

"Are you alright?" Phoenix questions.

"What do you mean? Of course, I'm alright!" she replies, "I just. . I just really miss you Nixy," her voice trails off as she flops onto her stomach.

"Josie?!" Phoenix responds.

"I-I'm sorry hun, but I'm off to bed. Love you," her eyes close.

"Geez, passing out on me. You're pushing too hard," he tells her, "Have a good night, see you soon. I love you," the call ends.

Ring, ring, ring!

Josephine's eyebrows knit as she raises her head to look at her phone, "Sorry, Nixy I didn't-"

"Josephine!"

"Isen?" she asks as she sits up, "What's wrong?"

"We're in a bit of a predicament, you need to bring us back," Isen comments as the sounds of battle resonate in the background.

"Just a sec," she scrambles to her feet, and stumbles towards Remi's room, "Where are you guys?" she gets up and studies the map.

"We were in Braisen but now it appears we've been teleported somewhere else," Isen tells her, "That was close," Josephine traces her finger along the map closing her eyes as she concentrates.

"Gotcha!" her eyes snap open, "Hang on," she holds out her hand and a small portal-like thing appears on the wall, the image shifts into a back alley, with Isen's back to her as she spots Remi's lightning and Blyke's lasers.

"Intel!" she calls, he turns around.

"Thank goodness," he says with relief.

"Stay here," she replies as she puts on a mask before turning invisible. Upon finding them she summons her rebound shield.

"Silver?" Blyke questions.

"Archer, X-Ray," she replies, "We've got to get out of here! Intel is waiting for us at the rendezvous point,"

"What're you doing here?" Remi questions.

"I'm here to bail you guys out! Let's go we're running out of time!" Shs alerts them, and Blyke grasps Remi's arm.

"Wait, I'm almost there!" Remi argues.

"We won't last much longer," Blyke informs her and starts running, once clear Josephine retracts her shield and sprints after them.
