When the conversation was over and the animal-man left to enter the truck, Joseph stayed by the door. As soon everyone had arrived, including the leader, Danny, who was carrying medical supplies, Joseph walked over to the passenger door and climbed in. "Peppermint?" he asked the people in the back through the window to the back of the vehicle. "I've got them in case I wear myself out with my powers." He put one of them in his mouth and held the bag up to the window.
