As the two fell into the water, Jianyu watched, about to soar down with them...
...until she looked down.
The water. It was turbulent. Violent. Unforgiving. It took everything. Xiayu, Connor...if you were consumed, you were good as dead. As far as she was concerned, Connor and Billy were goners. She had done what she could, to try and save Superboy, but from here, it was on him. She couldn't go in. She couldn't. She just couldn't.
Instead she teleported away from the waves, away from the watery graveyard, and right to Tretij. Wonderful, beautiful Tretij. Her Angel. Her partner. He would never leave her. He said he'd stay, and he meant it. She looked at him, safe and alive and free of harm or danger...and sobbed. Her emotions had changed course completely, her berserker fury turning to relief and fear and exhaustion and...grief. For the first time since she got here, Jianyu felt it all. As if losing her balance, she fumbled forward, holding onto Tretij, and cried. Loud, mournful wailing that she had repressed for so long finally broke free, and tears mixed with rain as she let out everything she refused to feel right up until now.
