Rhino and Barty, who had been using the snow to shield themselves from the harsh cold, were now enveloped in a wave of warmth. The fur they wore, once stiff and chilled, now felt almost too hot to bear.
"This is warm," Barty remarked, a grin spreading across his face as he relaxed in the heat. "Quite the turnaround, huh?"
The Valkyries, who were closest to Alex, instinctively backed away, their bodies reacting to the overwhelming heat that radiated from him. They could feel the intense warmth seeping into their armor, their instincts kicking in as they tried to distance themselves from the flames.
Frost, sensing the heat herself, quickly attempted to cover her body with a layer of ice, her powers instinctively rising to protect her. But before she could fully shield herself, Alex's voice rang out sharply.
"Don't be stupid! Don't cover yourself with ice, or you'll just melt along with it!" Alex yelled, his tone urgent.
