Though distrustful, Sarah reluctantly agreed, aware Grey's expertise remained critical to victory. Shaken, Sarah confided in Jack, who comforted her troubled heart. "True strength lies within," he reminded her. "No one can take what we have unless we let them."

In the aftermath of Vandal's defeat, Phantom and Enchantress slowly adjusted to peace. However, unanswered questions about the source of Sarah's abilities still gn
