Faced with multiple pulls for her attention, Alicia would address June first, as that seemed the most important. Feeling the eyes falling upon her in near reverence, Alicia couldn't help but wince as she shook her head. "I appreciate the confidence guys, but this wasn't anything that I did." 

Glancing back at Serenity, a small tremble entered her tone as she remained motionless. "This was something else,. A real miracle, from the Beckoners themselves." She understood the confusion of course, but she wanted to put things right before they got too carried away with this. She didn't want to take credit for something she hadn't done, especially not something as miraculous as this. 

With that June got to work, whipping everyone into action. Worried for Penny as she was, they were close enough that she was confident any trouble would bring her running in an instant. As for the Overcity jaunt, that shouldn't be too difficult, even with the familiar girl running over to hitch along. 

That just left two, at least at the moment. She took a deep breath before facing the two who seemed just as intent to stand in front of her, with a lot of prodding questions to go with it. "We fought Justine together. She ran ahead and got herself killed, I got frozen into an ice block and missed the showdown," she explained matter of factly. What followed was less pleasing, gaze narrowing in a growing annoyance and wariness as the topic shifted to Binky, of all people. Truth be told, she hadn't been kept in the loop regarding what Binky was up to. But she knew that the whole thing was important enough that she couldn't just go feeding information to strangers. Especially not in times like these. 

Catching an approaching figure from the corner of her eye, she ended the exchange. "Binky is safe with us, and that's all you need to know," she replied, tone on the terse side. "After everything that's happened in the past few months, that's the kind of information we're done giving away for free."

Quite deliberately she turned and walked away with an implied cold shoulder, instead heading over to Lily with a warming smile. She hadn't been sure that they would get the chance to meet again, and though the outfit was different and she wasn't quite sure, Lily just as quickly confirmed her identity to remove any doubt. "That's right," she confirmed, offering a hand once they were face to face. "And you're Lily, right? It's nice to have a formal meeting for once. Though it'd be nice if these sorts of things didn't always involve fighting." 

With a sigh, Alicia let a hand come to rest on her hip as we chatted. "And you're welcome. Someone would have had to come after her anyway, especially with what she did to us after you were taken. It just...expedited the process. You've got some determined friends." 

She fell silent for a moment, glancing around to try and locate that guy. At least he didn't seem to be around, which meant she was a bit more comfortable with the other only thing that she needed to talk about off the top of her head. "Though speaking of that, I was wondering if we were still, you know, cool. No hard feelings over what happened at the hospital, that sort of thing." She leaned forward, cupping her hand to speak in a somewhat loud whisper. You know, just in case he was actually around and she had missed it. "I don't think Alex likes us for it."
