"Mmm! This caramel swirl is really good, Blaze! You should try some!" Cream said, as her friend visited her in the infirmary. "Heh. Perhaps I will, Cream, before I taxi our other-dimensional allies back to their home universe. I just wanted to check on you first." Blaze stated.

"Oh, me and Cheese are feeling real good after Dr. Daniel patched us up! Do you know where he is, by the way?" Cream replied, looking around.

"I think he went back to his village. Probably backed up after the past few days." Lanolin piped up from across the room, a bowl of fudge swirl in her lap as she handled tasks on a tablet. Cream's face fell a bit. "Oh...I was hoping I could thank him before he left..."

Blaze rubbed Cream's head affectionately. "I'm sure he already knows, Cream. Well, I must be off. Take care of yourself, friend."

"Bye, Blaze!" Cream said, waving as the cat exited the infirmary. Whisper watched this exchange with great interest before feeling a familiar lemur sit down on her bed. "Gotcha a cone."

"*thanks.*" Whisper said, giving the frozen cone a small lick.

"So...How ya doin'?"

"*we missed the big fight.*" Whisper stated, bluntly. "Well, yeah, but we at least missed it as a TEAM! Right, Lanolin?" Tangle said. Lanolin just grunted in response. "But more importantly, I overheard you with Daniel earlier. I'm proud of you, Whisper."

*thanks. guess people aren't so bad...when you give them a chance.*" Whisper said. Tangle leaned in on her, the two friends just enjoying each other's company for the night.

"You know, maybe it was a mistake to volunteer Aunt Jo-Jo's old ice cream recipe for this." Jack said from the kitchen, directing efforts to give the entire Restoration various kinds of the frozen treat.

"-Well, we HAVE been meaning to let Raccoon try the ice cream smorgasbord. Speaking of which...-" She signed to Raccoon, asking him if he'd decided what flavor he liked best. He nodded, then signed his pick.

"Vanilla? Really?" Jack asked, puzzled. Raccoon shrugged, then walked away to enjoy his full cone. Cyber wrapped her arms around Jack, who reciprocated. "You've been a bit cuddly tonight, babe. You SURE you're alright?"

"-Um...Yeah...Totally.-" Cyber replied, averting her gaze from the wolf. She couldn't tell him what had happened while he was gone. Not yet. "-Come on, let's just make one more batch of ice cream for the night!-"

Far away from the Restoration base, Edge the Wolf stepped up to his master's chair, kneeling down in a bow. He'd slipped away just as all of the fighting against the Jackal Armada began, thankfully being lost in the shuffle of everyone else restored from Null Space.

"ECS-001 is safe, boss."

His boss spun around in his chair, his yellow, mechanical eyes shining beneath his helmet's visor. "Good work, Edge. I knew I could count on you."

Suddenly, Edge's implant deactivated, and all bodily movement beneath his neck was lost to him, leaving him to tumble to the ground. "What...What is this?"

"Your reward. A night off your feet." The boss said, getting up from his chair and beginning to exit the room. "Have a nice rest."

The story of Team Wolf and their mysterious stalker will continue in Wolf 6 Season 2!
