panel from Team Youngblood #9 showing Riptide in a boobs and butt pose bending down, her butt and legs seemingly disconnected from her torso, behind her is Masada looking a little compressed to fit the panel, Riptide says "Hey I'm not going to be part of Youngblood forever, and this might open some doors for me down the road" Masada says "Hmm but are you sure they're doors you want to pass through?" Riptide says "Ha! You're something else you know that?" Masada says "What?"
