"Hey, I heard the lullaby worked better than ever." She said.
"Yeah. Just wasn't expecting a code green." He told her.

"Very good, sir."
"Hey, he won't need the full treatment! My healing helped." Charlotte protested.
"Yes, but you've still got a long ways to go before you really save anyone that way, Charlotte." Peggy told her. Charlotte set her jaw.
