In that way that Ralph has, his ability allowed him to be one place one second and beside her the next. He eased her into him and she gratefully wrapped an around his neck and let her tears fall. She hadn't been able to express her worries and fears with the others and they came flooding out all at once now.
The pain, the uncertainty had all been held inside for weeks and this release was not going to be quick or easy. Blessedly he seemed to understand. Having suffered so much so of those so dear to him he knew how to deal with what she was feeling and his ever compassionate heart opened to her.
Some might think him funny or silly, but Dibny had been a devoted husband, true friend and valued teammate for all the years she'd known him, there were few who could ever be the sort of man he was.
A nod, as she could not offer a more vocal response just yet between the softly heavy sobs of her tears. But she nodded and tried to dry her eyes with the back of her pale hand.
"I..I wu..would like that."
Fragile as a snowflake at the moment, she seemed to curl into him, thankful for the kindness of old friends who knew what to say and when to let her simply cry it out.
"Tha-thanks Ralph."
