Kamala frowns for a minute. Bruno is very obviously trying to mouth hipster viking at his bff. She's not paying attention as usual. "Hmm..." She snaps her fingers just as Bruno is about to just shout the answer at her. "Oh! That one! The probably Hipster Viking causing problems again call!" She claps her hands together afterward as Bruno groans. That had been lowkey a disaster and she had to study for a Math test after. Sue her for being forgetful!!!!
"Yeah..... uh we might have reached our limit on that one like I said. We tried magic stuff Google suggested and it super didn't help us do anything, except get in touch with you!" She folds her hands together in an exaggerated plea. He's obviously here to help, but she's a dramatic child. "You're totally our only hope, Obi-Wan! Please tell me you're here for that team-up before Google gets us into bigger trouble?"
"You Googled a spell?" He couldn't look more unimpressed if he tried, though he does take the time to give Bruno a commiserating look. He feels your pain, bro. No one ever listens to him until it's too late. "Well, then I showed up just in time. But for good measure: don't you ever do that again. Now: where were we?"
John rubs his hands together like he's excited to get cracking, mostly because he might be as excited about the prospect of a team-up as she is. Shut up about it!!
"You need to take out a power-hungry demi-god before supper and without calling in the A-team, does that about patch it, love?"
Kamala nods eagerly, pumping her fists in the air like literally every anime character she's ever loved. "Yep! I love the Avengers, but they've literally never stopped him for longer than five minutes. I really need him to stop messing around JC for mysterious reasons for the millionth time." She sighs loudly, going back to resting her hands on her hips. "Usually punching Hipster Viking in the face gets rid of him for a while, but he's really determined this time. And I think you know why that might freak me out as the protector of this city." She doesn't need him getting weird and homicidal on her. To Kamala's credit, she is actually taking this seriously this go around which is why she actually remembers to warn him she did sort of give him something over her by accident once.
"Fair warning! We'll need to keep this away from my school because technically his monsters are in charge of protecting it. Long story, but he can totally see what we do while inside of it."
Okay, that last bit isn't what he expected to hear and his face scrunches up accordingly in reaction. "Don't think you've told me that one, love." It complicates things a bit, but he turns to Bruno again with a bland if imploring expression. "That's alright though. He doesn't mind if we set up just here, does he? I think it'd make a brilliant home base."
Kamala laughs sheepishly. He got her on that one. She'd been kind of embarrassed to bring that one up. She quickly turns the puppy eyes on Bruno who predictably caves with only a groan for protest. "Keep the weird stuff to the employee break room."
That's good enough for Kamala. "Yay!" She rushes a quick hug to her friend before grabbing John's hand to lead him there. It's John. She assumes the weird stuff is going to start right away. "Let's go!"
That's probably a safe bet, yeah. He "begrudgingly" lets her drag him into the break room. The second they're inside, he breaks apart and gestures back out to Bruno, lowering his voice in case he's listening in.
"You two are hooking up, right? Please tell me you're not letting those moon eyes go to waste."
All that voice-lowering is going to be for nothing. Kamala immediately turns bright red and shouts at John. "What?! No! Muslim girls don't do hookups!" She lightly smacks his arm to prove her point... somehow. Look she's watched too much anime not to have this reaction. "Don't even joke about that!"
This is where Kamala looks uncomfortable. It's true, but she can't slam another Muslim girl. That's what her mom and the ladies at the mosque were for! She avoids addressing that with the question. "No! We're bffs." Kamala crosses her arms over her chest. "Now are we going to beat up a trickster god or what? My love life is seriously not important!" Mostly because it doesn't exist.
"BFFs, right. Consider it dropped... until we take out Loki. I do need to collect my fee somehow." Even if it's in teen gossip. "So, what's this about your school being on his turf?" He would sound judgier, but he probably would have taken the same deal. Right now he just needs to know how to exploit it.
"You're ruthless!" Kamala accuses in a totally breezy manner. It's better than her original plan of paying him her allowance for the week. "Okay so he kind of drugged the punch at a school dance so I beat him up and that was going to be the end of it except...." She takes a deep breath and releases it with a long sigh. Her eyes are pleading for him to get why she let it go for this long.
"He left golems to protect the students and to spy on us too probably. I couldn't exactly get rid of them especially since our school seriously does need that extra boost of protection. A lot of bad guys have tried to kidnap the students for their evil plans. It's kind of ridiculous and scary. I just didn't know what else to do. I can't learn and guard the school at the same time. I tried! That's how kids ended up getting kidnapped last time. One second I'm reading a history text and the next thing I know a wall is coming down. It's too much for me." She clearly feels guilty about it.
