Done with all activities related to blending in with the people of this era, Nelli simply stood by, patiently waiting for the others to finish as she remained near Kylie, curious as to what this endeavor would bring, but not particularly eager to rush things, and content with simply waiting and following the green girl's lead. While she and Salis argued, the Star Demon halfling simply stood back and toyed around with her obsidian knife for a bit, ignoring the shouting and angry huffing going on between those two, instead wondering if blending in was even necessary when she could just cloak everyone, though she soon decided that it was probably for the best. They might have to split up at some point.
She was thinking of this when Kylie barged into the men's changing room, but rather than pay any attention to that, she continued with her business. It was only when she heard the older girl's loud exclamation that she finally looked in her direction, just in time to see her close the door and explain the situation. She tilted her head when she heard that the others had gone home, not expecting them to bail out when they seemed mildly concerned with the mission at hand, though she supposed cowardice was not out of the question even with magicians, heroes and police officers. Or maybe they just decided that dressing up in a medieval attire was more trouble than it was worth.
Noticing that Kylie was rather down, the winged girl walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder. "Why are you concerned?" She asked. "If they abandoned the quest like that, then they would have been of no use whatsoever even if they had remained. It was the three of us since the beginning." She stated, and then backed off, before looking around. "Now then, where do we go?"

Black Sun smiled when she saw the red-skinned woman flying away into the horizon, though she frowned slightly when her blade throw was dodged. She briefly considered using the solar energy clasp on its hilt to direct it towards Solmu once again, but before she did so, Prototype appeared and began knocking the woman around. It was a good thing, and Black Sun cheered at him for it, but Solmu was now definitely out of range for her to attempt to stab her, and so, she recalled the viridian sword instead, to have it available for her next attack. As she continued watching, however, she noticed that Conundrum had been hurt by all the fighting, and also that Prototype had lost the advantage he had over Solmu yet again... this time for a reason that caused her to facepalm.
"Really? You let her go because what she said embarrasses you? You said you're an android! You can't even do that kind of thing! Why would you even claim you're more advanced than me when dumb animal instincts like those are still a problem to you?!" She complained loudly, before turning her attention back to Solmu, who had begun attacking her once again.
"And YOU stop calling me little girl, I'm probably older than your entire race!" The female cyborg shouted, before spinning her viridian sword very rapidly in front of her, forming a circular green barrier of pure destructive energy. When the red ki blasts crashed against it, they exploded harmlessly, unable to pierce through. Then, taking advantage of the smoke raised by the explosions, Black Sun flew forward towards Solmu, firing several beams from the palm of her free hand, in hopes that one of them would strike and cripple the woman. Not letting up, however, the white-haired girl continued flying up to her opponent and began slashing at her as swiftly as her artificial body would allow her, attempting to cut up the enemy into pieces. Solmu really annoyed her, so she was done fighting defensively.
Kirisvala arrived to the tower's Command Room after a couple of minutes, having taken the elevator and leisurely walked over there, all while cheerfully chatting with Ava. Seeing Nico arrive at around the same time and greet them, the pink-haired girl smiled and waved back at him with her large claw, before heading to the center of the room and standing by while some of the others arrived. She saw Mars, and briefly thought of walking up to him and maybe try to strike up a conversation, but in the end, she decided against it. They were good friends, and the awkwardness that followed the incident at the raid on the Alvarez gang had faded away for the most part, but Mars seemed rather focused on whatever was going on, and even a little impatient, so she figured she'd let him be.
Fortunately, it did not take long for the rest of the team to arrive, with some exceptions such as Rin and Nelli, and once most people were present Mars began explaining the situation, claiming that he had managed to track down a criminal or perhaps a group of criminals who had been robbing people in Jump City. Kirisvala frowned at this, and when Mars asked who was willing to take part in the mission, she immediately raised her claw.
"I'm in. After all it's our duty to keep Jump City safe, right?" The Hadrian spoke. Of course, that wasn't the only motive. She also wanted to make sure that nobody got hurt in the mission, Mars least of all--though such a thought made her feel a bit guilty for a moment--, but it was also true that she felt a duty towards Jump City, as she had lived there ever since her arrival on Earth.
Before saying anything else, she heard Rin speaking from somewhere else, and scratched her head a little. "Rin, it's okay, you don't have to hide. You can just come along with us. It was just an accident, so don't worry about it." The magician said, trying to cheer Rin up and encourage her to come along with them. Perhaps she was being too forgiving, as Hadrian ears were a lot more resilient due to their roaring capacity, but she failed to consider this.

Jamie appreciated Kylie's attempts to comfort her, but despite all of that, she still decided to stay outside the police station while Kylie went in to retrieve Cora and Marybeth. For starters, though it was a big part of it, her anxiety was not the only reason she was opting to stay outside. The officers had seen Final Boss as one of the culprits, whom they had failed to catch, and they had also seen Jamie Mason as one of the children who were trapped inside and who were undoubtedly questioned to some degree before being released. Either way her entrance would raise some eyebrows, most likely, so she figured that for her own sake and the others', she'd just stay outside, and that was exactly what he did, simply sitting off in some dark corner and using a random Archetype's powers to make herself unnoticeable for the time being.
When eventually Kylie emerged with Cora and Marybeth in tow, Jamie stood up, making her visible once again, and followed the three girls, although she did so hesitantly, not sure if she wanted to hear what was going to be said. Even though she had already said to the Green Lantern more or less everything she knew, and even though she didn't seem so angry at her anymore, the black-haired girl was still mildly scared.
It was fortunate, then, that most of the questioning done was directed towards Cora, with her and Kylie doing most of the speaking, and Marybeth only chiming in once. Naturally, Jamie said nothing, for the simple reason that she didn't want to and that even if she had wanted to, she wouldn't have known what to say. She simply left it to the three older girls to sort everything out.
