Cosmic Girl is saved by coworkers

Meanwhile back at the NYC rooftop bar where you left her lies Cosmic Girl. She’s still laying helpless, weakened by the Cerulian bracelet you put on her to nullify her powers. With her powers and super strength completely drained, she feels totally wiped out. She can’t even muster the energy even to sit up.

Behind her, your bar coworkers who witnessed the entire scene unfold, have been vigilantly trying to break open the door-lock Cosmic Girl melted shut. They all are huge Cosmic Girl fans going back to childhood and are hell-bent on doing anything they can to try and help her.

After spending nearly 20 minutes trying every tool they could find, your coworkers finally break through the door with an industrial-grade spatula. As the door springs open, they all run to help Cosmic Girl.

Ji-Kwon, another coworker, picks up Cosmic Girl from the patio and holds her in her arms. She offers her a few sips of water from a cup. A few other co-workers run behind and crowd around Cosmic Girl to offer assistance.

“Good lord, she really is as beautiful as they say,” your coworker Ricardo says upon seeing Cosmic Girl up close.

Cosmic Girl tries to move and unsuccessfully points at the bracelet. She tries to give a clue she needs help removing it.

Cosmic Girl utters,” Help get this bracelet off.”

Ji-Kwon takes Cosmic Girl’s silver gloved arm in her hands and tries prying off the bracelet. It won’t budge.

She holds it up close and examines the bracelet clasp.

“Sam do you still know how to pick locks?”Ji-Kwon asks Sam, another coworker.

“Sure do. I’ve got my pick kit on me,” says Sam.

Everyone in the group gives Sam a questionable look.

Sam jokes, “Hey you never know when they might come in handy.”

He bends down to grab Cosmic Girl’s bracelet. Sam pulls out his lock pick kit and goes to work on the bracelet locked clasp. Cosmic Girl is like jelly in Ji-Kwon’s and now Sam's arms.

“Well homegirl certainly got style, I’ll say that. Who do you think designed her costume?” Another coworker, Juliana, gossips. “I’ll bet it’s Balenciaga.”

After a few seconds, the clasp opens and immediately the Cerulian jewels stop glowing. Sam holds up the open bracelet.

“Got it off!” Sam shouts.

“Gimme that,” Ji-Kwon says as she grabs the bracelet from Sam’s hands.

Ji-Kwon immediately throws the bracelet over the edge of the patio, off the building, It falls seventy-ish floors, shattering onto the city sidewalk below.

Ji-Kwon feels Cosmic Girl immediately start to gain energy. She tries to sit up. Color rushes back into Ilana Bellamo’s face as she starts to get back up on her feet. The group of coworkers steps back cautiously at the sign of Cosmic Girl’s newfound energy.

“Cosmic Girl are you alright?” Sam asks her as she stands up before the coworkers.

“I’m better than alright, thanks to you all,” Cosmic Girl responds to Sam.

“You all showed courage, bravery, and ingenuity,” Cosmic Girl says. “Please don’t hesitate if there’s any way I can do to repay you.”

Sam replies to Cosmic Girl,” Well you could start by cleaning up the mess you made out here...”

“Sam please.. we can clean..,” Ricardo interrupts Sam.

“Of course, it’s no problem,” Cosmic Girl interrupts Ricardo.

Following the ask, she turns around and points at the tall stack of chairs. Using her powers she levitates them all back into their original positions.

“Woah cool,” Juliana says.

With the chairs fixed, Cosmic Girls focuses and points at the metal door lock she previously melted about ten feet away. Suddenly the lock starts glowing and changes shape. Suddenly the glow dissipates and what is left looks like a brand new lock. With another motion of her hand, Cosmic Girls magically closes the repaired door.

“Goddamn, she can do that?” Juliana exclaims in amazement.

With the patio cleaned up, Cosmic Girl turns around to thank your coworkers for the final time.

“One of my core beliefs in people is that we’re all a diamond in the rough. That if given the chance, we can do amazing things. You all have shown this tonight,” Cosmic Girl tells the group.

She instructs them,” Please hold out your hands for a small token of my appreciation.”

Every coworker looks at each other puzzled but extends their hands toward Cosmic Girl. Holding out both of her silver gloved hands toward the group, Cosmic Girl closes her eyes in concentration as her hands begin to glow with energy. Once again it appears she’s using her power to manifest objects through trans-mutation.

A similar glowing energy appears in each of the coworker's hands. A shape forms quickly from the energy. As it fades, it’s clear that Cosmic Girl has magically conjured five gigantic diamonds in each of their respective hands. She smiles when she sees the look of astonishment on each of their faces.

“I may not be from this planet, but as Juliana said, I’ve got style,” Cosmic Girl jokes as she winks at them.

Without hesitation, Cosmic Girl looks up and levitates up from the rooftop patio, flying up a few feet above the coworker's heads. She gives them all a wave goodbye.

She quickly gets to her next order of business, finding you.

As she hovers there above the building, she closes her eyes and tries to reform the telepathic connection she had you earlier. She can’t make any connection. Nothing.

She concentrates much harder using her telepathic abilities. Nothing again.

“Go, Cosmic Girl! Make us proud!” Ji-Kwon cheers to her. “Please help save our friend Jack.”

Cosmic Girl smiles at Ji-Kwon whose motivation pushes her to try harder. This time indeed her telepathic attempt works and she gets a very faint signal from your mind. She can barely feel you. She can tell you’re alive and well, but can’t zero in on your location.

“Jack.. Jack it’s me, Ilana. Are you ok? I’m coming,” she mentally tells you.
