"But, mom!" Harper protested, Steve holding her tightly as Claudia turned on the Bronzer with Sykes inside of it, barely conscious.
Claudia shook her head "No, ma'am! He gets the bronzer!" she said before pressing the button and stepping away gently.
The three of them stood as the fog limited their view before it was obvious that Sykes was bronzed for eternity; Harper sighed as Steve finally let her go but she stood in place before turning around to face the Warehouse.
"So anybody gonna tell me what happened here?" she asked sarcastically, pointing to the wreckage.
Steve and Claudia turned to each other before they both placed a hand on their daughters' shoulder "You did this." They said in unison.
"What? How could I do this?" Harper remarked.
Claudia sighed "You remember those many talks about how you have a unique connection with the Warehouse?" she asked.
Harper shrugged "Okay, and?"
Steve sighed "Well, we learned that when you have strong emotions, things tend to happen. Like bolts of lightning, and shelves being knocked over."
Harper cocked an eye brow "…my furious anger destroyed the warehouse?"
"…well…yes…but you didn't destroy the Warehouse, you just trashed it." Claudia responded, trying to make Harper feel better.
Harper opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by the familiar voice of her uncle approaching the Bronze sector.
They loud arguing of Myka and Pete emerged from the wreckage with Artie in toe, who finally told the both of them to 'quite down'
"The henchmen have been dealt with." Artie announced, the other agents just nodded as they all stood in silence.
Claudia put her arm around Harpers' and held her tightly "I love you." She muttered.
Harper sighed as she turned to her mother and smiled "I love you, too." She said before giving her mother a tight hug.
The Caretaker hugged her daughter back tightly before Steve joined in, hugging them both when Pete smiled "…I want in!" he remarked, running with his arms wide open towards the family and joined the hug.
Myka and Artie looked at each other before walking towards the hug and joining the small mob of family who were holding tightly onto each other.
They slowly let go one by one, until finally they could all see Harper again, who was brushing away a tear, they waited for her to say something as she shallowly breathed.
"I love you guys." She simply said, brushing away another tear as she put her hands in her pockets.
"…I really want a cookie." She muttered.
Pete smiled "I'll go get the jar!" he said, running through the mess of the Warehouse.
The others laughed when they suddenly heard a crash "I'm alright!" they heard in the distance.
Myka smiled as she hugged Harper all for herself "I'm glad you're okay." She said gently.
Harper smiled "Yeah, me too."
Myka let the teenager go, the agents standing around when Harper sighed "…well, I'm gonna go back to the office." She remarked, now climbing through the mess towards the office.
The agents smiled as they watched her leave, Artie and Myka excused themselves to follow Harper back to the office, leaving Steve and Claudia alone in the Bronze sector.
Claudia sighed a strong sigh of relief, Steve chuckled as he looked at Claudia "…all is right in the world again." He told her.
She nodded "Yeah." She simply said.
Steve was silent for a moment, dancing from side to side "What, Steve?" she asked him.
"Just…can we both consider this a second chance? Can you promise to be there a little more? And maybe I'll stop being annoying about it all the time?" He proposed.
Claudia chuckled "Okay, we can do that."
Steve nodded "Okay!" he said with a soft smile.
Claudia took her best friends hand and hugged his arm "I love you, Jinksy."
"I love you too, Claude." Steve said, pulling Claudia in for a tight hug; he didn't care that she was the Caretaker for the Warehouse, at that moment she was simply his best friend.
