What exactly is a journey? A journey can be defined as many things. They can be exciting, dangerous, challenging, peaceful or terrifying. As a Journey can either a physical journey or an inner a journey, or even both. In the end, all journeys expand ones understandings of themselves, individuals and of the world.

Then later in the story, he was met with a choice either let Mel die or lose his super-human strength for one day.
