"Max? You okay?" Alex whispered as he nudged his brother, giving him a poke in the belly. "Huh? Uh.. Yeah? I'm good." Max groaned as he slowly sat himself up while slowly holding a hand to his head, it was throbbing. "What happened?" The blue haired man muttered as he looked around, noticing his childhood home was covered in vines and black flowers. The gold specs were floating around the room, making the three boys calm as they all sat in the massive nest that sat in the very corner of the house. "Tyler got you too huh?" Faz laughed as he showed off the vines wrapped around his wrists and feet. "Don't bother trying to escape. It doesn't work." The bear hybrid chuffed out as he leaned back against the nest, his eyes drifting shut. "I get to the door and then pass out. Something to do with the magic in the air or whatever. Or pollen? I don't know what's happening." He mutters unhappily.

Chris crouched down on a branch high up in the tree tops, talons wrapped around the wood as he stared down at the intruder that was lurking too close to his nest. A short, sharp whistle was heard before his helper's vines started to whip towards the raven haired male chasing him further into the woods. He had just gotten his cubs back and he was not losing them. The Forest Spirit closed his eyes before holding his palm to the tree, all his magic letting go of the control in the city before going full force into his forest. The vegetation thickening and the magic began to seep into the air leaving a protective layer over his forest. A promise that his home would be protected and no one was getting close to it again.

"Alright, you two wait here and I'll go talk to the mayor alright?" Jamey says sternly before he beelined to the elevator, giving Felix a look as he pressed the button. "Stay." Jamey mouthed while making the "I'm watching you" motion, Felix sulked a bit before looking away nervously. "So... Felix! Do you wanna sit down?" John asked politely as he motioned to the lobby seats, making the demon blush a light pink. "Sure." The demon says as he drags his feet over to the chair that the hero had motioned towards. "I hope Tyler is okay." John says as he sat down, uncertainty in his eyes as he looked around the lobby. "He better be okay." Felix says as he stares at the wall, his skin was starting to feel hot. "So.. You're his roommate? I thought Ester was his roommate?" John questioned as he looked over at the demon, who froze at the question. "I've also never seen you before." He added. Felix stayed quiet as he thought about what to say, whatever he said he was either digging himself into a deeper hole or he was going to start drama. "Does it matter?" Felix decided on instead, he felt like shit. Without Tyler, he was nobody to John. John couldn't even recognise his arch nemesis/lover was sitting right next to him. Felix just wanted a hug. He missed his human and wanted so badly to hide himself away in John's chest while getting a hug from the hero. "I.. I guess not." John sighed as he leaned back into the seat.
