Zoe Pierce splashed cold water on her face in the Omega restroom, finally managing to quell the agitation she felt.
The aftershocks of the incident were surprisingly strong.
She took a few deep breaths before heading out. The moment she did, she saw Miles Sherman standing off to the side and, feeling a little embarrassed, hurried over to him.
When Miles Sherman saw Zoe Pierce, he was direct. "Nathan asked me to come check on you."
"Don't overthink it," Miles Sherman said. "But in the future, you need to know how to fight when your opponent is the opposite sex." His words had a far more calming effect than anyone else's. At least, after hearing him, Zoe Pierce felt much better.
As they walked shoulder to shoulder toward the training room, Miles Sherman continued, "You're already much more skilled than when you first fought us."
Honest, hard work never fails to pay off.
