When they were younger, Nico Minoru, Chase Stein, Gertrude Yorkes, Karolina Dean, Molly Hayes and Alex Wilder became friends through circumstance: hanging out once a year while their parents had what they claimed was a dinner party. After discovering their parents were actually the super villain team known as the Pride, the kids ran. The Runaways learned to use powers and resources inherited from their parents and returned to defeat them. The experience made them a family, but that wasn’t enough to keep them safe.

After months of Victor resisting Chase’s help to build him a new android body, Victor regrew one. The first thing he did was kiss Gert, and then Chase walked in. But the Runaways’ friend Doombot still needed repairs, so Victor tried to work through the tension and Chase tried to ignore it. Chase had managed to reboot Doombot, but only by unwittingly removing the tiny black hole placed in his chest as a deterrent from his destructive programming. Doombot awoke, and DOOM DIALOGUE ARTIST would have vanquished every Runaway NIKO HENRICHON if Victor hadn’t used some newly grown COLOR ARTIST wiring to connect to his friend and attempt MATTHEW WILSON internal repairs.
