Nothing's happening. It's like she's in a dream, the best dream of all where she can touch her dear friend without her powers ruining everything. Their shared world had spoiled her by granting her control over her powers and she'd been terrified upon learning the nanites were gone from their bodies. But now... It doesn't mean a thing for the billions of humans in this world, but she can touch him and that means everything to her.

A wavering smile breaks out across her face, giving only the briefest notice before she's launching herself at him, leaning up as much as she can to try wrapping her arms around him in a hug. She laughing and crying at the same time, overcome by a swell of happiness as she presses her bare cheek against the warm metal of his body.

"I won't hurt you," she murmurs, the words both a fact and a promise, and holds on to him just a little tighter.
