Okay, I get that if you're under eighteen, you get a check every month from the City. That's good, but I'd feel better if I worked for my money. I've been waiting tables which is... okay, but we eat out a lot and all the ramen is starting to rack up. I could use a second job if anybody is hiring. I'm very athletic and can do a decent amount of lifting and other manual labor so if you know somebody who knows somebody who needs somebody, let me know?

Or if they need security. I'll do security too. [Going from superhero to toy cop. Epic downgrade, Katherine.]


[Private to the Avengers, Coulson, Neil, and Todd.]

From what I understand is that Billy's at home now, so it's best you try not to ask Teddy about him today. Or how Teddy's doing himself. He's pretty down about it, understandably.

[A pause.]

Don't tell him I told you this.

Comments

[doeswhathewants]

Ah, shall we try it this way?

Giant Snake of Fear. Does it chime a bell?

[joiedeviolet]

No, but it probably will if you were a little more specific.

[doeswhathewants]

Odin's brother whom Thor was destined to kill. He was the sum of all fear and- and he gathered some to him through weapons, making them powerful.

[joiedeviolet]

[You mean your uncle... yeah, let's not go there right now. This family is so screwed up.]

Crap. This is what I have to look forward to when I get back?

[doeswhathewants]

[He would agree with you on that.] And Galactus. Worry not, I covered that one.

[joiedeviolet]

I'm scared to ask how.

[doeswhathewants]

I hid what he wanted. He did not have it, and neither did we, so ... he just moved on. Particularly clever on my part, I think.

[joiedeviolet]

Technically, you still have it if you know where it's hidden.

[Sigh. And this is why she will never trust you.]

[doeswhathewants]

But I do not know where it is hidden, that is the point. I dropped it so that the final destination and landing place would be ambiguous. Even if I had to find it, I could not.

[joiedeviolet]

What are we talking about anyway?

[doeswhathewants]

The world seed of Yggdrasil. If destroyed, all of the nine would collapse.

So important is it that Odin was about to let Galactus raze Midgard. Actually, Odin threatens to allow Midgard to be raised surprisingly often.

[joiedeviolet]

Probably payback for us letting Asgard fall apart over Oklahoma.

[doeswhathewants]

I know that sentiment. Because Oklahoma? Really? Have you ever been there? It is in the middle of nowhere. And there is a desert! At least we have wi fi.

[joiedeviolet]

I was there. I've had better vacations.

[doeswhathewants]

You chose to vacation in Broxton? What is your life... [Pulls a face.] The City of New York is far more interesting. Pity Asgard could not have fallen on that place.

[joiedeviolet]

You really don't know what sarcasm is? And you've been here longer than me?

[doeswhathewants]

Perhaps you are only bad at sarcasm? [Huffs.]

[joiedeviolet]

Yeah, no. You can't blame this on me, Serrure. Watch something other than Star Wars.

[doeswhathewants]

I have! I watched the Karate Kid, also. That crane move... ah, Midgard fighting styes are ... interesting.

[joiedeviolet]

Are you only watching eighties' movies though? Why?

[doeswhathewants]

It was my first task from Harry, I am as yet rather unsure why, but he said the reasons would be apparent once the magic lessons began.

[joiedeviolet]

Who's Harry and why is he giving you magic lessons?

[Because this all sounds like a bad idea.]

[doeswhathewants]

He is a wizard. [Amused.] And he is giving me magic lessons because I asked him. I hardly see the point of being stuck here without learning, it as not as though I am also not learning once more at home.

[joiedeviolet]

You could learn something else. Like sarcasm.
