Alloy Girl Volume 21: A Harmonious Healing
Alloy Girl and Hit Girl found themselves in an unexpected setting: a sprawling park, bathed in the golden light of the setting sun. They were there to visit Lily, a young patient who had recovered from a rare genetic condition thanks to HarmonyX®.
Lily, sporting a mischievous grin and a pair of mismatched socks, was anything but a typical patient. She was full of energy and eager for adventure. As Alloy Girl and Hit Girl approached her, she couldn't contain her excitement.
"I heard you're the superheroes who saved me!" Lily exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder.
Alloy Girl and Hit Girl chuckled. "Well, we did play a part," Alloy Girl admitted. "But it was really HarmonyX® that did the heavy lifting."
Lily nodded thoughtfully. "I know! It's like magic. I feel so much better now."
Hit Girl grinned. "Maybe you're a superhero yourself, Lily."
Lily's eyes sparkled. "Really?"
Alloy Girl and Hit Girl exchanged amused glances. "Well, maybe not in the traditional sense," Alloy Girl said. "But you're definitely a fighter. You faced a tough challenge and came out stronger."
Lily beamed. "I'm going to be a superhero when I grow up!"
Alloy Girl and Hit Girl laughed. As the afternoon wore on, they regaled Lily with tales of their superhero adventures, liberally sprinkled with silly voices and sound effects. They even let her try on Hit Girl's signature red mask – a little big, of course, but it earned a triumphant thumbs-up from Lily.
By the time the sun began to set, Lily's laughter was contagious. She had forgotten about her avoided illness, her worries, everything except the joy of being a kid and playing with her favorite superheroes.
As Alloy Girl and Hit Girl walked away, they glanced back at Lily, still lost in her imaginary world. In a world protected by HarmonyX® and brightened by laughter, they knew, the future was looking very bright indeed.
