"Aric!" Clara exclaimed, racing towards him.
Clara's face was filled with panic. Without hesitation, Aric asked, "What's the matter? Didn't I take care of them?"
"Run!" Clara insisted urgently.
Turning to see what had alarmed Clara, Aric saw the cause of her panic. A group of Zenith, also responsible for enforcing peace, was swiftly closing in on them. It seemed someone had alerted them about their brawl just now.
Aric couldn't help but smile, seizing Clara's hand. "I'm going to need to borrow your power, okay?"
Clara understood exactly what Aric meant. Together, they used the Electron Slide, Clara's preferred method for eluding the Zenith team.
Instantly, they vanished from sight, their speed unparalleled by their pursuers.
Both Aric and Clara escaped, their laughter echoing in the air. It had been ages since Aric felt this joyous, surrounded by friends.
