Dazed, confused, but chugging on.
"I used to have a tail, but I lost it on a quest." Mao Mao explained simply.
Then the cat listened sympathetically to Spider-Man's story. "Yep. That's the kind of thing we deal with at the MPF." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Maybe you could talk to Mr. Fury about what happened to you. He's our boss, and he's from a world of superheroes, too. He might have clashed with 'Kingpin' or 'Doctor Doom'."
Megumin leaned against Miles with a miserable expression. "I desire to find my family, too. I wonder what they're doing now..."

A mother stared at her daughter's neglected bed. Once upon a time, her little girl curled up on its mattress, gazing happily and tiredly at her, chirping "good night!" And then the woman would kiss her on the forehead, and leave her alone to dream her adorable little dreams.
When the lady stared hard enough, she could see the ghost of her child, curled up and smiling at her just the same. Once in a while, she would trick herself into believing that the ghost was real, and reach out to stroke her hair, only to flinch upon only feeling the air.
"Why didn't I stop her...Why did I let her see the world on her own?" She didn't have a clue what to believe. Just a couple days ago, her daughter's friends showed up at her doorstep, their hysterical expressions quickly making her sick to her stomach. Then, when she learned that her daughter suddenly succumbed to a horrible pain and vanished before their eyes, the expression was shared. Together, they pulled together the town of Axel and the Crimson Demon Clan, and created a frantic, thorough search party. A party that failed. Megumin was completely gone. Nobody knew what that pain was, or where the rogue magic had taken the poor archwizard.
The mother rubbed at the scratches she'd gotten during the search. She was ready to destroy a thousand White Wolves to find her baby, and...nothing. Her efforts were fruitless. She could only stand here, and wait for some miracle. She could only pray that Megumin would be dropped off at home, safe and sound.
Until then, she could only sob.
