"Lead a team of our own?"
Sierra Sullivan looked confused, not quite understanding what Jayce meant.
Jayce ruffled Sierra Sullivan's hair. "Even though we're both Superpower Users, the outside world is complicated and dangerous. Just the two of us won't be enough; we have to form a team. I'll talk to my dad, and we can take command of a team directly. It'll be a way to help him out, too."
As one of the base's leaders, Jayce's father needed his own people and a record of achievements to hold his ground against other factions.
That's what Jayce meant by "helping."
Sierra Sullivan nodded in understanding. "Okay! It's been a while since I've seen your dad, too. I'll go with you!"
The moment she finished speaking, Jayce leaned in close. "Is this you coming home to meet the parents, Sierra?"
A sly grin played on Jayce's lips, and his eyes, full of mirth, were fixed on Sierra Sullivan, as if trying to peer right through her eyes and into her heart.
