Vance rubbed his face, breathing a sigh of relief when the Avengers headed out. Really, this had ended a lot better than he'd been afraid it would. Though, knowing Rich and the Nova Force as he did, he'd never been afraid that there'd been an energy spike.

Which didn't stop him from walking over and offering his hand. "Good to see you, though. Welcome home, Rich."
