    Elaine and I manage to get John and Seraphina inside just as Arlo stumbles back from John's room. We all crowd around the table, except for Seraphina who we lay on the couch.
    "Elaine, I think everyone needs some healing again." I laugh awkwardly.
    "Yeah, John needs it the most, I think." The blue haired girl says, walking over to John.
    "I can handle it myself." He says, copying her ability and beginning to heal his chest.
    "Alright." She says timidly.
    "Arlo can go first, my cut isn't as bad as it looks." I explain, pointing to the knife wound on my throat.
    Elaine nods, healing Arlo as fast as she can, but before she can finish he starts coughing up blood.
    "Eek! Hang in there! I'm almost done!" The girl tells him.
    Arlo takes a few deep breaths, trying not to cough again, before noticing John glaring at him.
    I can't help but roll my eyes.Will those two ever stop antagonizing each other?
    "Geez. What's the problem now? Aren't you done being angry for one night?" Arlo grumbles.
    "You had one job." John growls.
    "Excuse me?" Arlo asks.
    "I had him. All you needed to do was keep your weak barrier up, and you couldn't even do that." He says before turning his anger towards me, "And you let the first guy get away too. So useless."
    "I'm still drugged for goodness sake, how was I supposed to fight someone while trying to keep him from taking the other guy and running?" I defend myself.
    "You wanna talk about useless? Who was the one who left Seraphina all alone in the first place?! And instead of trying to stab that guy to death, you should've pulled her out of danger! Then we would have gotten back in time to help Hela. If you had focused, we would have captured them easily!" Arlo pointed out, "Evaluate yourself before throwing all the blame onto us, you fool."
    "Would you two just stop? Hindsight is always 50/50, but you can never think like that in the moment. Even if things had gone perfectly, I don't think we could have won. They had access to some kind of ability dampener, who knows what else they had up their sleeves." I yell.
    "Ability dampeners?"
