Hana fidgeted as she sat in front of the Ta-Lo elders; while they decided what to do with her.

Shang-Chi burst through the door with Katy and Xialing. Shang looks at Hana and nods, "We heard what happened; a person was being punished for using a different kind of magic to save someone's life."

"What if that was one of us?" Xialing asks, "They used modern medicine to help us overcome illness. Would we also be punished?"

"No!" Jiang Nan screams, "This is a different matter. You are my sister's children..."

"And they are the descendants," Xialing sighs, "of a very powerful elder in Ta-Lo. Shouldn't that count for something?"

"It definitely shouldn't." Hana whispered, "I saved a life- not just any life, but my father's, a direct descendant of Chen Yang. So, I used magic I learned from Kamar Taj. Does it really matter? I saved a life."

While the Ta-Lo residents discuss, Wong came in with a brown curly-haired short woman in an obviously stretchy suit. The woman walked over to the long table and cleared her throat, "Jennifer Walters, Attorney at Law." Handing a card to Jiang.

Jiang Nan looks at the card, "Ms. Walters, this isn't..."

Jennifer Walters color changed, and she grew, "She-hulk, and you better not be questioning my client without her lawyer."

Jennifer Walters went to stand next to Hana as Hana whispered, "Wong?"

"Wong." she confirms.

Hana turns around and mouths, "Thank you."

Wong reached his hand to squeeze her hand for comfort. "Anytime."
