Lucas, his face breaking into a grin, stretched his arms wide, as if to embrace the newfound ease in the atmosphere. "We did it, team!" he exclaimed jubilantly, his voice echoing with a mixture of relief and pride. "Mission accomplished!"
Nira, her earlier icy demeanor now replaced with a relaxed smile, holstered her gun with a satisfied click. She leaned against a nearby tree, her posture casual yet triumphant. "Yeah, we really showed them," she said, her tone light but carrying an undertone of gratification. "Another threat down, thanks to us."
Steven, nodding in agreement, wiped the sweat from his brow and let out a long, relieved breath. "I have to admit, I wasn't sure we'd get through this one," he admitted, his voice carrying a hint of surprise at their success. "But we pulled through. Great teamwork, everyone."
