Ariados twice In which Lila's new superhero identity makes the scene.
Lila checked her phone. Sure enough, there was a news update notification. She opened it, and in a couple clicks she had a live news feed. “...so far the creatures haven’t caused any injuries, but many are wondering where are the rest of Paris’ heroes.” the reporter stated. In the background Moth could be seen crashing through a wall thanks to a tail swipe from the dragon. This was all Lila needed to see. She minimized the tab, then shut off her phone. “Muutos, Antlers Up!” she called out.

On top of her head, two fake light brown deer-like ears with light pink insides were attached, as well as fake antlers that mimicked Muutos’ in color and style. The bracelet, now light brown with five white spots, remained on her left wrist, while the Buck Billy Club rested in its holster on her left leg. Lila smiled. It was time to see what she could do.
