"I need to speak to Swan, immediately," Lioness told her. "And could you also let Raven know I'm back, please?"
"Of course," she nodded politely. "Please..."
"Yes, I'll stay here, I know the protocol."

Lioness sat down in one of the armchairs, trying to project calm and confidence.

She can even become a better agent than before.
She'll make everyone understand that.
She's strong.
Fearless.
