Sequel of Enhanced (An Avenger's FanFiction).
After her supposed "death", Andromeda Johnson awakens to a new world not far from the one she was used to. She is in a whole new dangerous world. A world in the brink of collapse. An enemy endangers this...
In the dim hum of a quinjet slicing through the night sky, a weary team returns home—Alpha-9 Tower rising like a beacon on the glittering edge of New York City. Among them is Clementine, a fox-tailed child whose wide golden eyes reflect both the city lights and the fragile hope stitched into her every breath. Their arrival marks not just the end of a journey, but the beginning of something far more delicate and uncertain. In the sterile glow of the med bay, cutting-edge technology and ancient magic intertwine, and Jocasta, with her seamless blend of synthetic grace and human warmth, helps guide Clementine through an operation as intricate as it is vital. Piece by piece, her fragile body is rebuilt—not merely healed, but rewritten into something stronger, something whole. But the true test will come after: in the slow, painstaking steps of rehabilitation, where every movement, every flicker of magic, must be relearned. Around her, a team stands steadfast—Meda, Alexei, Hoya, Ji-Hu—each carrying their own weight of fears, hopes, and unspoken promises. And somewhere, beneath the soft rhythm of monitors and the steady glow of city lights, there is the quiet, unyielding belief that this child—and others like her—will not only survive but thrive.

The dining hall buzzed with a warmth that felt more like a family gathering than a team breakfast. Plates clinked gently, the smell of fresh eggs, buttered toast, and syrup mingling with the comforting aroma of coffee. Clementine sat perched on her chair, a bright grin plastered on her face as her fox tail swayed behind her. With a flicker of concentration, she shifted into her fox form, darting under the table before springing back into her seat in her human form. "Show-off," Ji-Hu teased, her own fox-like ears twitching playfully as she leaned against Claire, her arm wrapped casually around her partner's shoulders. "Do you know how long it took me to pull that off without landing on my tail? Months, Clem."
Clementine grinned, her golden eyes shining. "Maybe you just think too much, Mom!" she teased, sticking her tongue out. "Oh, bold," Hoya said, seated beside Clementine with an amused smirk. She ruffled her little sister's hair, making her giggle. "Keep that energy when she makes you practice transformations for two hours straight later. Not bad," Hoya added, crossing her arms and glancing sideways at Ji-Hu. Her voice carried its usual nonchalance, but there was a subtle warmth beneath her words that hinted at growing acceptance. Still, she huffed and quickly added, "But don't let it go to your head, Clem. Mom's going to make you work for it."
Across the table, Claire hid her smile behind her coffee mug but couldn't quite keep her pride from showing. "I think she's doing brilliantly," she said, her voice full of warmth. "You're a natural, Clem. Looks like we might have a future shapeshifting prodigy on our hands." Her words made Clementine beam, and Ji-Hu gave Claire a soft, affectionate nudge. Alexei, meanwhile, was stationed at the far end of the table, holding a dish of blended nutrients. The strange apparatus he used to consume food clicked faintly as he took his sustenance in a way only he could. "Do not be jealous, Iris," he said between pauses, his deep voice rumbling with humor. "You too could shapeshift, if you are willing to give up your thumbs."
