The monitors in Star Labs flickered with a kaleidoscope of colors as Kid Quick's vitals were displayed. Her heart rate, a steady rhythm against the backdrop of the sterile white room, remained perfectly within normal limits. The intricate display, a testament to the cutting-edge technology of Star Labs, mapped her body, showcasing the remarkable resilience of her enhanced physiology.
