As Melissa ate the sandwich, she and Heavy heard someone approaching. The enormous Russian gently scooped her up and held her close to his chest, almost as if he was trying to protect her in case a mercenary from BLU had snuck in.

"Who's there?" Heavy called.

"Calm down, big guy," A friendly southern voice replied. "It's only me. I came to see Mellie and possibly have a turn watching her."

"Alright," Heavy replied. "Come on in."

Engie did just that and gave Melissa a small wave. When Melissa was at her regular size, she was a couple of inches taller than him. But now, she fit in the palm of his hand.

"Is everything alright darlin'?" Engie asked Melissa.

"Yes," She replied. "But it wasn't when I was held captive by those... those jerks!"

"Well, that must've been terrible for you." The Texan said. "Maybe a trip to my workshop can take your mind off of that."

"But I'm too tiny to do anything." Melissa responded. "I can't do anything to help you at this size."

"Nonsense! The fact that you are watching me work is more than helpful. I might test the shrink ray replica on a couple of rocks or something else."

"I think I have an idea of what, or rather who, you could test it on." Melissa replied.

Engineer lifted her up to his ear and allowed her to whisper into it.

"Hm, that does sound like a good idea." Engie said as he then proceeded to put her in the front pocket of his overall. "Alright, let's go."
