To their credit, Wade thinks, the NXT Digidestined held things together as well as could be expected, considering how underpowered they were in general, new to everything and so inexperienced it was almost a surprise they survived at all. Duke Hudson looks like he's about to collapse at any moment, but the others all look generally ok.
Clustering together and walking back to the portal, taking turns helping Miz, Dolph, Seth and the others who need it after everything they've been through, is a relief. Gets them all one step closer to home. Wade generally isn't one for outrageous signs of emotion, but even he can't stop the choked up feelings overwhelming him when they get transported out of the Dark Ocean and land back outside of Luke's cave.
"My god," Heath mumbles, dropping to his knees. "Not as good as being back home, but almost." He even leans down and kisses the dirt, Wade rolling his eyes at him as he straightens up and smirks over at him.
"I'll go get Luke!" Thea offers before dashing off.
Wade bites back the urge to bark at her to come back, that they shouldn't split up. This is, after all, the safest place in the Digiworld, right now.
He's kneeling next to Mox, the two of them working together to get liquids in the various injured Digidestined, when Luke appears. He's overjoyed to see them, though guilt and worry flashes across his face as he takes in Seth, Miz and the rest.
Before anything could be said, or steps taken to help those hurt and suffering, however, Dolph stands and walks shakily over to him, pale skinned but determined as he grips Luke's sleeve. "I need to talk to you about something," he says. "And before you ask, no, it can't wait. It's very important, and I think we need to implement it as soon as possible."
Luke frowns, but nods. "Alright, let's go discuss whatever this is."
Wade watches them go before sharing a curious shrug with Heath, turning back to helping those he can. Everything is one step closer, after all, to getting them home, which is something he never imagined being this desperate to do ever before.
