Although the series isn't in the same continuity as the Main Legends series, the genuine affection between the team isn't lost at all. The page will be updated when more chapters are released.
[[folder:Chapter 1]]
* The ShipTease between Forge and Sophia throughout the chapter is nothing short of adorable.
** After Alkira makes a light-hearted joke about Forge and Sophia getting married, Sophia admits to herself that she holds Forge in high regard, but respects him, and doesn't want to put the moves on him, in case he doesn't reciprocate, or want to move into a relationship that fast.
** Likewise, Forge seems to genuinely like Sophia, and internally describes rescuing her as one of the best moments of his life. Again, however, he doesn't try and pursue her, as he assumes they're not eachother's types.
** At one point, Forge daydreams about dancing with Sophia, [[{{SugarBowl}} in a world literally made out of sweets.]]
** Forge ends up admitting to Sophia that he was responsible for Quayla's injury, she unlitmately ends up forgiving both him and Fixer for it, proud of their honesty.
** Forge playfully tells Sophia that they're try not to act like fools around "pretty ladies like [her]". [[{{CantBelieveISaidThat}} He quickly regrets saying]] [[{{TerriblePickUpLines}} that,]] but Sophia? She seems to disagree.
-->'''Sophia:''' Such a gentleman Forge is.
* Sophia is no less of a MamaBear here than she in in canon, immediately rushing when she sees Quayla injured, demanding to know what happened, and making sure she was going to be okay, even afterwards.
* To put it lightly, Shift and Sienna are so friggin' cute in this story.
** First thing that comes to Shift's mind when he sees her with the gift is how beautiful she is, and after greeting her, can only think about all the things he likes about her. [[{{EatingtheEyeCandy}} It takes him a few seconds to snap back to reality.]]
** Sienna ends up gifting Shift his own pair of hover-shoes, custom made by a friend of hers. It takes Shift no time at all to start [[{{Squee}} squeeing,]] and he proceeds to pull Sienna into an extremely tight hug. It's absolutely adorable.

* When we begin the chapter, Maniac is still trying to comfort Alkira, who's still in the middle of a panic attack after the events of last chapter. She strokes her head and lets her cry, all the while not walking too fast, just so that Alkira remains feeling sheltered and safe. Just like that, Maniac cements her role as a CoolBigSis.
* When Maniac and Alkira make it to Alley's house, Alley wastes no time whatsoever getting Alkira to the kitchen, clearly frightened for her safety. She then treats Alkira's cut, and assures Maniac she's safe with her.
** It's worth noting that Quayla and Mel were also at Alley's house when the two arrived, and as soon as they saw the state that Alkira was in, they stopped everything that they were doing out of concern.
