Wildoru

Wildoru is the het ship between Alex Wilder and Nico Minoru from the Runaways fandom.

Volume One
Alex and Nico knew of each other before the start of the series due to their parents meeting up every year for a charity event for the evil organization known as the Pride. Alex did not think very highly of Nico in the years before the series' beginning, even going as far as calling her "dorky."Alex soon changes his attitude upon seeing Nico for the first time in her new goth wardrobe and contact lenses. When Nico and Alex witnessed their parents sacrifice a young girl named Destiny Gonzales, they ran away with Chase, Gert, and Karolina who all discovered they have special abilities, except for Alex. Once the Pride found out that their children know about their operation, they used all of all of their influences to try and get them back.When trying to rescue the youngest member of the Runaways Molly Hayes; Nico and Alex had an intimate talk, and they shared a kiss, not knowing if it'd be their last day alive. It was revealed later that Alex was Nico's first kiss. Once they rescue Molly, Nico and Alex move into the hostel with the rest of the Runaways. When Nico says to the Runaways that her staff is gone, Alex suggests that it maybe was absorbed into her body. Later, the Runaways recruited Topher to their group which caused a brief bit of friction between Alex and Nico. When Topher revealed himself to be a vampire to Nico, Alex quickly saved her. Nico jumped into Alex's arms and they both confessed that they love each other, thus beginning a relationship.

A few issues later the Runaways entangle with Cloak and Dagger, who easily trap the Runaways. While Nico is delirious, Alex nearly told her that he loves her once again. Leading up to the final issues of volume one, the Runaways decided it was time to end the Pride's organization once and for all. Before entering their underwater lair, Alex passionately makes out with Nico before their final fight, and Nico tells Alex he knew what he was going to say while they were trapped inside of Cloak. While facing off against their parents, Alex managed to systematically take out each one of the Runaways and obtain Chase's Fistagons and Nico's staff. Once having done that, he revealed that he was a mole for his parents all along, and explained his plans to Nico. Alex professed his love for Nico once again, and asked him to join him in paradise after the Gibborim reclaim the Earth. Nico angrily refused his offer, and soon after the Gibborim kill Alex for disrespecting them.

Volume Two
Since Alex's death and betrayal, Nico demonstrated willingness to forgive when she unsuccessfully tried to resurrect Alex, and states that even though Alex was a traitor, he did not deserve death.

Avengers Undercover
During the events of Avengers Undercover, Alex is resurrected by Hellstrom to become Nico's tutor in battle strategy. Nico is shocked to see Alex's return, and reminiscences her past affection for him; stating that she never really got over his death, and would have given anything to bring him back. While tutoring Nico, Alex hits on her several times, and calls her "freaking sexy," while seeing Nico test out her powers. Alex's incessant flirting irritated Nico, as she daydreamed about murdering him.

After Chase was injured in battle and left comatose, Nico was devastated and blamed herself. Nico decided to 'do the wrong thing' in order to feel good, so she rekindles her romance with Alex; passionately making out with him.



Nico and Alex continued their romance for a few months, and began living and sleeping together in Helltown. By the time Nico faced Helstrom, Alex was in awe and speechless over how powerful his girlfriend had become, thanks to his training.

Soon afterwards Nico and Alex split up and went their separate ways again once Alex departed with Young Masters, not before telling Nico that it was really nice to see her again.

Reunion
Similarly to the comics, Alex and Nico knew of each other since childhood, but have had longtime feelings for each other. Their crushes on each other were obvious to Nico's older sister Amy, who actually encouraged Alex to ask her Nico out. When Amy died, Nico and Alex, along with Chase, Gert, Molly, and Karolina all drifted apart. Two years after Amy's death, Alex is desperate to reunite with his old friends, and tries to do so at the school that they all currently attend; Atlas Academy. Attempting to invite them for a party at his house, they all decline.

Alex then goes to talk to Nico, where he confesses to her that while he misses having his friends together, he truly misses Nico the most. Nico shrugs off Alex's attempt to get through to her, and runs off to a bathroom sobbing. Later that night Nico attempts to conjure Amy back to life with Wicca spells on a beach but fails.

"Meanwhile at the Wilder Residence, Alex is surprised to see all of his friend attend his party, and is even happier when Nico shows up. Nico asks Alex why he didn't attend Amy's funeral, but quickly dismisses the topic and thanks him for throwing this party for her. When the kids discover their parents kill Destiny, they all make a run for it."

Rewind
After they all escape from the lair, the Runaways pretend to play a game of twister to fool their parents. Nico, feeling distraught from what she just witnessed her parents do, goes to the restroom to cry. Alex joins her, and Nico says she doesn't want to go home because

she's afraid of her parents, and because she doesn't want to be alone. Alex grabs and caresses her hand, promising her that she isn't alone. When the two emerge from the bathroom, Geoffrey comments on how he sensed some sparks between Alex and Nico.

Destiny


The next day, Nico and Alex meet up at the beach with the four other kids to discuss what happened when they witnessed their parents ritual.

Later that night Nico convinced her parents to go out so she could take her mother's staff. While looking at a snowflake found in Amy's diary, snow begins to fall within the Minoru home.

Nico quickly calls Alex, saying she needed a “nerd,” and they try to examine the Staff of One together. Wizey then informs them that Nico's parents are on their way home, and thus Nico and Alex frantically clean up all of the snow together.

They quickly rush into Nico's room, where Nico begins to undress in front of Alex. Nico shoves Alex onto her bed and straddles him, pretending to have sex for Tina to see. Tina deduces that the reason Nico wanted them to go out is so she could have Alex over, and she sends Alex away. Alex and Nico walk out the house together, with Alex feeling happy that out of everyone Nico could've called, she called him. Nico tries to deflect this, resorting to saying again that she needed a “nerd.”

Alex kisses Nico, which she enjoys greatly. Nico acts surprised by this, saying that what happened in the house wasn't real and just an act. Alex smiles at her, and departs with a 'later Hermione'. Once Alex leaves, Nico begins grinning goofily that her longtime crush just kissed her.

Fifteen


The day afterwards, Nico reads Amy's diary and concludes that there was no way she committed suicide and that her parents sacrificed her. Nico tells Alex that she is going to the police station to confess the crimes she witnessed her parents do, and asks him to come with her. Alex denies this, and Nico decides to go by herself. When Nico arrives at the police station, to her surprise Alex joins her, saying that he's not going to let her do this alone. Nico smiles at this, and they hold hands.

When Nico and Alex realize that their confession is useless due to their parents having cops in their pocket, they flee the station. Nico and Alex discuss how big the Pride situation has gotten, and Alex shows Nico the gun he stole from his dad's desk; saying that they have to protect themselves.

Nico and Alex head to Timely Coffee, where Alex tries to decrypt the file that Gert had sent him, and find out that Karolina's mother was hand-picking the victims for their sacrifices. Alex then gets told by a barista that his car alarm is going off, and leaves to investigate while Nico calls Karolina.

When Nico goes to see where Alex went, she witnesses him getting kidnapped by Darius Davis. Nico panicking, says to Karolina that someone kidnapped Alex.

Kingdom
Karolina meets up with Nico devastated about the fact that their parents are murderers, but Nico tells her their priority is saving Alex right now. Nico uses the staff to figure out the way to Alex, and it shows them a path to follow. Nico and the rest of the group frantically drive to reach Alex, who is being held captive by Darius as a means of revenge due to his history with Alex's father Geoffrey. When the Runaways have a signal on Alex, they follow it and it leads to them fighting Darius and saving Alex. Once they defeat Darius, they all return back to Timely and gush about their powers.

This would be cut short however as they all rush to Alex's house to prevent a new sacrifice but realize they are too late. Alex storms off upset that they couldn't save the kid, and goes to his bedroom. Alex sits on his bed, and sees Nico enter his room. Nico sits beside him, and Alex confesses that he felt responsible because he shot Andre, the boy who he bonded with while he was kidnapped and who now was sacrificed. Alex ponders off, feeling even more guilty that he essentially helped his father go through with another murder.Nico grabs his hand, and forces him to sit back on his bed. Nico comforts Alex, saying that although their parents are committing these horrible acts, that at the end of the day they're still their parents. Nico holds Alex's hand tightly, nervously chuckling saying how she was so worried about him.

Nico and Alex gaze at each other for a moment, and Nico leans in to kiss Alex. Alex returns Nico's kiss, caressing Nico's face. The kiss gets steamier, as it then turns into a full on passionate make out session. Alex grabs Nico's hips and positions her on his lap, deepening their fiery make out. Nico straddles Alex while kissing him. Alex slowly moves his hands from Nico's hips and slides up her shirt, and they continue making out. Karolina arrives and interrupts them, making the situation awkward.

Nico quickly gets off of Alex's lap as Karolina explains that Chase found a hidden camera in the library, which all three head to quickly.

Alex discovers that the video files are stored in Nico's parents company Wizard, which Nico is adamant on trying to get so they could expose their parents. Nico and Alex officially begin dating from this point on.

Metamorphosis
A few days later, Alex calls Nico early, explaining that she had been right about everything, and asked for her help hacking into the Wizard servers at the gala later tonight. Nico smiles, and said she couldn't wait. Nico and Alex met up with the other Runaways at Timely to touch base, and know what the plan is. Alex offers to pick Nico up and go to the gala, but it's decided that they all just ride one limo there. While the kids go back to their homes to get ready, Nico plans on getting ready at Karolina's house. Tina asks if Nico is going to meet up with Alex, which makes Nico gleefully surprised that her mother was more approving of them being together.



Nico and Alex meet up with the rest of the kids in the limo on the way to the gala. Nico cuddles into Alex's arm's for the whole ride, genuinely feeling happy with her boyfriend.

Nico, Alex and Gert team up under the codename Operation Tina Server Room. Nico and Alex ask Gert to go flirt with the security guard as a distraction, and are left bewildered when Gert's opening line is "cockroaches."

Nico and Alex successfully get into the server room, and Alex quotes something from Tron. Nico wasn't surprised to see her boyfriend geek out over being in the server room, and asks him which computer out of the many should they start with. Alex asks Nico if she really wanted to know how a hypervisor delineates between a physical server and a virtual one, which leaves Nico confused, and Alex thinks the thought of that is kind of hot. Alex unsuccessfully tries to port into the servers, and Nico proposes they go into her mother's office. Nico tries to use her Wizard keycard to enter the office but it doesn't work, which makes Alex type in the right password with ease. Nico asks Alex how he guessed her mom's passcode, and Alex replies that "he's just that good," which Nico doesn't buy into at all.



Alex gets access to the video, but it still needs time to decrypt. Things get a little awry when Tina shows up to her office and Alex and Nico are forced to hide. Tina sobs, and Nico attempts to get up and comfort her, but is stopped by Alex, he gestures her to stay down. Nico drops a tear, since she had never seen her seemingly cold mother cry. Nico later asks Alex what her mom's passcode was; in which Alex lies and tells her it was "password."

Refraction
The next day at Atlas, Nico takes a stroll with her boyfriend and tells him that her dad is moving out of the house, Alex offers his condolences and says she can ask him for anything. Nico then asks again about her mother's password, and asks Alex to stop lying to her about it, but they are interrupted by Chase and Karolina.

Tsunami
Later that night, Alex is met by his girlfriend at Timely, and she once again demands him to tell her the truth. Alex affirms once again that he just guessed the passcode, but Nico interjects saying that she knows that he knew her password beforehand. Alex, then comes clean, and promises to tell Nico everything he knew regarding Amy and her mother. Nico, heartbroken that Alex would lie to her, storms off once hearing the truth. Alex stops her and admits he was the one who should've done better regarding Amy's passing, Nico tells Alex to tell her the rest of the story. Alex tells Nico that Amy had hacked into Wizard, and that he made a promise to keep Amy's secret. Alex admits to Nico that he was wrong to keep these things from Nico, and that he wants to do better. Alex says that he just couldn't tell Nico the truth, and that the few times he tried reaching out to her he was scared to since Nico had a massive personality shift when Amy had died. Alex confesses to Nico that he was scared that she'd never forgive him, because losing her forever would be would be another death. Nico decides to investigate more into the mystery behind her sister's death, only this time, doing it without Alex. Nico calls off her relationship with Alex. Alex calls Nico, and stresses he can't apologize enough and that he just wants to talk, while the video file finished decrypting.

Nico meets up with Alex at Timely again, and tells Alex that she found Amy's phone. The rest of the Runaways meet up with Alex, with Chase and Karolina agreeing that they shouldn't release the video of Pride. Alex, Nico, and Gert disagree, and Chase and Alex get into a scuffle. Nico desperately tries to stop Chase and Alex from fighting, but is restrained by Karolina. Chase manages to destroy Alex's laptop and the evidence, which greatly upsets the rest of the group.

Doomsday
As the next day of school comes, the Runaways all decide to go to the school dance, but only as a coverup to trick their parents as to what they're really doing. Nico calls Alex from Amy's phone, and they both find out that Amy never committed suicide but was murdered. Nico's father Robert interrupts them and tells them that they have to take pictures of Alex and Nico before they head off to the dance. Alex compliments Nico, saying she looks great; but Nico still hasn't forgiven Alex and tells him she doesn't care what he thinks. At the dance, Nico, Alex, Karolina, and Molly are wondering where Gert and Chase are, and Nico decides to go look for them. Alex asks if she wants some company, but she invites Karolina to accompany her instead.

Hostile
When the Runaways are at the Pride's dig site, they soon face off against them and Jonah but are overpowered by the alien. Karolina decides to sacrifice herself to let her friends get away. The Runaways barely escape, and they recover on top of a mountain to debrief. Alex and Chase agree that it's best to get out of town since their parents know that they know everything, but Nico disagrees and wants to save Karolina. Nico convinces Alex and Chase to go along with her plan to save Karolina, who had just had a romantic encounter with Nico the night of the dance.

When Karolina is rescued and the Runaways are all situated on the mountain, Nico and Alex have a moment together. Alex asks her how long it'd be for him to walk back home, to which Nico replies that they're never going back home. Alex asks her if she'd ever call her parents, and Nico says she wouldn't have anything to say. Alex decides to call Darius, who still has a grudge against his father, and Alex proposes that they'd work together so that Alex could get a gun and money to skip town, and Darius agrees just so long as Alex tells him everything about his super-powered friends.

Alex later returns to the mountain, and Nico meets him in the early hours of the morning. Nico asks where Alex went, and Alex simply replied he just had to make a call. At the bus stop, the Runaways see warrants from the police to bring them in for the murder of Destiny Gonzales, and realize that their parents had framed them. Since they couldn't board the bus out of town, they all run away.

Gimme Shelter
24 hours of officially being on the run, the Runaways struggle as they discover it's difficult to live on the streets. Alex's leadership is questioned by all of the Runaways, including Nico. When they all find a Pride food shelter for the homeless, the Runaways quickly eat their food and decide what their plan is. Molly suggests that they hide in tents, and Chase notes that they can't since Alex lost the money he got from Darius. Alex reminds them that he was the one who got the money for them in the first place, and that they should show him more gratitude. Nico adds that if Alex tells them where he got the money, they would trust him more. Alex refuses to disclose where he got the money, and affirms that it's for Nico's and the groups protection. Nico questions if Alex got the money from his parents, and Alex assumes that they think he's a mole for his parents. Chase also points out that Alex didn't originally want to save Karolina, due to jealousy of her and Nico being together. Alex rebuffs this, and states that he didn't even know Nico and Karolina were together at the time, and that he was still trying to process the information. Alex, going to make another deal with Darius, departs from the food shelter, and tells the Runaways that he'll meet them at a homeless encampment later. Nico asks where Alex is going, but he doesn't tell her, saying that she has to trust him.

Alex meets up with the Runaways later at the encampment providing them with tents, sleeping bags, and burner cell phones. Impressed, Nico asks if Alex paid for all of their equipment to which he replies that some of it was on sale.

Radio On
When a massive earthquake occurs in the Hostel that Karolina discovered, the Runaways all speak about it, until Alex mentions that he has to get to his job. Nico is confused by this, says that Alex never mentioned that he had a job. Alex quickly evades that, saying that he never said he didn't have a job.

Chase and Gert both get into a dispute with Alex, which Molly puts an end to and demands that Alex to them the truth, otherwise they'd be just like their parents. Alex immediately comes clean to the group, and tells them he's been working with Darius. The Runaways all disagree with Alex's decision to work with Darius, but Alex remarks that he told them the truth, and that he should be on his way. Alex departs from

the Hostel, ignoring when Nico calls out his name.

Double Zeroes
Because of their strained relationship, Nico has Alex's contact name on her burner phone listed as "asshole." While Alex his Nico's name as "not the one." Nico steps up as a leader for the Runaways, making them get up early and learn to use their powers together. Meanwhile, Alex's relationship with Darius's cousin Livvie deepens, as Alex spends more time with Darius. While training, Chase reminisces on how Coach Alphona always had a game plan, and Molly responds that making plans were always Alex's job. Nico says that Alex isn't here, and that there's zero correlation between Alex and them sucking without his leadership. Molly brings up that although Alex might not of had superpowers, he brought something to a table; Nico retorts that Alex only brings a nerd brain to the team. Chase suggests Alex's "nerd brain," could help her with the staff. Nico states that she doesn't need Alex's help, or anything else from him, and that he chose to off the team. Karolina tells Nico that they're all a family, and without Alex the Runaways aren't a whole.

Concurrently, Darius picks up Alex for a supposed job, who unknowingly doesn't realize that Darius is taking him to Geoffrey. When Alex realizes he's been set up, it's already too late, and Geoffrey reunites with his son. Geoffrey and Alex talk while on the way to the airport, and Alex quickly speed dials Nico.

Nico hears Geoffrey and Alex speaking on the other line about the airport, and realizes that Alex has been kidnapped. Nico quickly informs the team of this declaring that they have to stop them.

Chase comments on Nico's 180 attitude about Alex, when a few hours ago it seemed like she wanted nothing to do with him. Nico affirms that while she still thinks Alex sucks, he needs their help. Karolina tells Nico that it's okay to admit that she still cares about Alex, and the rest of the group talk about how much they actually miss him. Nico says that she has issues talking about her feelings for Alex, and just generally having them. Nico votes that they get Alex back.

The Runaways arrive at the airport and rescue Alex, with Nico casting a spell to stop Geoffrey from following them.

Back safe and sound in his room at the Hostel, Alex listens to the radio and learns that his parents killed Darius and framed him of the murder of Destiny Gonzalez; therefor no longer making the Runaways fugitives. Nico stops by Alex's room, and offers her condolences for Alex losing his friend. Alex replies that he wasn't so sure Darius was his friend, and Nico assures him that she still is his friend. Nico with an old game console in her hands, asks Alex if they can play games together, like him and Amy used to.



Alex chuckles softly, asking her if she found any good games, and Nico reads the label of the game Street Fighter II. Alex jumps up with excitement, exclaiming that Street Fighter is a classic.



Nico sits on Alex's bed, asking why Alex called her when her when he was kidnapped. Alex tells her that she was his number one on speed dial. Nico nods her head with a slight grin, and Alex hands her a controller, sitting right beside her.

Alex tells Nico that if her and him playing video games together is all they have for the rest of their lives, he's good with that. Alex then assures Nico that they have each other. Nico locks eyes with Alex for a moment, and smiles widely when he raves about Chun Li's skills. Nico chooses Chun Li as her fighter, and tells Alex he could be Blanka as they have the same hair, Alex obliges which makes Nico smile.

Nico then asks Alex if he's going to tell her what he's been up to all this time, and Alex replies that he met this girl that liked. Nico playfully puts her hand over Alex's, and couldn't believe that Alex got himself a girlfriend. Alex says that he thinks that his fling with Livvie might be over, and Nico wants to hear more about her. Nico and Alex's relationship and friendship is repaired from this point, as Nico forgives Alex for his secret about Amy.

Old School

When the Alex discusses the plan to take down pride, Nico notes that Alex put his hair back.

Rock Bottom

Bury Another
After the aftermath with Topher, Molly is upset with Nico's leadership decisions. While adding parts to his new supercomputer, Alex is joined by Nico in his room, asking what Alex is doing. Alex explains that he's upgrading his computer, which is all apart of his plan. Nico leans down, and asks Alex to let her in on it. Alex smiles, and flat out tells her no. Nico playfully inches closer to his face, which gets both of them flustered.

Alex says that if he tells Nico his plan, it becomes her plan, and he likes being needed by his friends. Nico says that being a leader isn't her strong suit lately, and asks Alex to tag in and help her anytime. Alex expresses that leaders have to make unpopular decisions, and that Nico was right about Topher, who could've really hurt Molly. Nico says that instead of Topher hurting Molly, she really hurt Molly, and asks Alex how she could ever make it up to her. Alex responds saying he thinks Nico is asking the wrong guy, and explains that he's been trying to make it up to Nico for a long time and he still hasn't got anywhere.

Nico suggests giving Alex another try, implying that she has forgiven him. Nico tries to correct herself and says that she should give making it up to Molly another try. Alex nods his head and smiles, replying with "right," which makes Nico chuckle as she bite her lower lip, blushing. Nico promptly leaves his room; with Alex maintaining his smile.

When Karolina snaps at Nico, she goes to ask Alex for advice about her. Karolina addresses that she knows how much Alex likes her, and is the only other person who has experience dealing with Nico. Alex corrects Karolina, meaning disappointing Nico rather than dealing with her. Karolina brings up how Alex kept things from Nico about Amy, and asks him if h

e wished he told the truth from the beginning or hadn't at all. Alex pauses for a moment, and asks Karolina if she's keeping something from Nico, which makes Karolina uncomfortable.Alex tells Karolina that when it comes to Nico, you don't mess with Amy; and that when he told her the truth, he lost her.

Last Rites
When Karolina admits the truth that she's been seeing Jonah and lying to the group about what she's been up to, Alex votes for her to stay behind while they handle their parents. Nico agrees with Alex, noting that Karolina betrayed all of them, and her staying behind is a risk she's willing to take.

At the Pride dig site, when things look grim for Nico, she emerges from the hole which makes Alex smile, remarking that the Wicked Witch of the West always was his favorite.

Past Life
When Alex assigns his friends to help out Livvie, she and Nico meet for the first time. While in the honeymoon suite, Nico, due to her strained relationship with Karolina, says to Alex that she can't handle being around the love filled room. Alex understands this, and Nico departs. Livvie looks at Alex, in disbelief that Nico is actually Alex's ex-girlfriend.

Big Shot
When Livvie tells the Runaways that Alex has been lying to them and made a deal with AWOL, Nico reminds Alex that if he hadn't been concerned with himself he'd know what's going on with Old Lace. When all of the Runaways bombard Alex, he reminds them that they are no better than him, and points out that Nico killing Jonah was a lot worse than him making a deal with a criminal to put their parents in jail. Alex storms out of the Hostel labeling all of his friends hypocrites.

Hostile Takeover
Tensions run high as AWOL holds Livvie captive outside of the Hostel. Nico casts a spell to keep AWOL and his gang out, but it is taxing on her body to hold the spell for a long period of time. Alex states that AWOL's fight is with him, but Nico tells him to stay put, as she doesn't want them to kill Alex. Thinking rationally Alex comes up with a plan than Nico fully supports. Alex orders AWOL to tell his men to stop ramming the entrances of the Hostel so Nico can stop holding the spell. Alex gives the command for Nico to stop holding the spell, and she drops it.

Nico and Alex duck under cover to prepare for the invasion, and Alex places a hand on Nico's arm to offer her a slight bit of comfort. When Alex gives Nico the call to cast the spell to banish all of their guns, Nico faints, which leaves Alex and Karolina to face off against AWOL together, while carrying Nico to safety. Tapping into the Dark Dimension, Nico regains her strength and summons AWOL and his crew to get out, which saves the group.

Last Waltz
While gathering the music to celebrate Molly's birthday, Alex asks if they're going to dance to the music that they're buying, Nico replies that music is what people traditionally dance to, to which Alex states that he doesn't dance and that he'd do a little light flossing in the least, but nothing public. Nico, perplexed, asks Alex if that means he flosses in private, to which he doesn't answer.

Earth Angel
Nico arrives in Alex's room, and tells him that they have a house meeting in five minutes. Nico, Alex, Gert, and Molly all discuss Chase's betrayal when he chose to side with his parents. Later on in the episode when Karolina, Nico, and Molly rescue Karolina's mother Leslie, Nico assures to Alex that Leslie is a runaway now and that she will stay in the Hostel. Alex doesn't take this too kindly, as he wants to lock all of the parents away and not have them join them.

Split Up
When Chase shows up to the Runaways with an offer from their parents to surrender, Nico and Alex in unison agree to pass on the offer, as do the other Runaways. Chase informs Tina that they didn't accept the offer, and she immediately initiates the attack on the Runaways with superpowered drones that combat all of their abilities. One of the drones scramble Nico's speech pattern, and when Alex orders her to cast a spell, she can't as her words are all jumbled. Alex advises all of the Runaways to split up. While Nico and Alex both defeat their parents, they meet up at the Hostel with Molly. Nico and Molly become distressed as Karolina and Gert aren't there. Alex comforts Nico and says they're going to figure it out, and assures her once again that they have each other.

Fanon
Wildoru is considered a rare pairing in the Runaways fandom, mostly due to the fact that Alex betrayed the team in the comics. The pairing did pick up more traction once the TV series came out, since Alex got a complete overhaul in his motivations, and Alex and Nico's relationship was portrayed in a healthier way compared to their comic counterparts. Despite the ship having more of an audience than it used to, it still remains unpopular due to Nico's most popular ship being Deanoru.
