Look, my parents were mad scientists who pumped me full of spider-juice just to see what would happen. I went to Hail Hydra high school and Nick Fury university. I've been extraordinary my entire life. After all these years of insanity... a little ordinary sounds pretty #$%^ great. You have your normal... and I have mine.
As much as Luna wanted to pretend like she understood the reference, she couldn’t hide her face of utter confusion and unamusement. Any onlookers might even say she resembled her mother in that moment as she paused and tried to offer a smile at the thought of some frozen tacos. At this point, she’d take what she could get. “As long as it’s edible I think I’ll be okay.” She sat, waiting for the woman to start cooking them for her.
“Geez. Tough crowd.” Jess paused a second, making awkward eye contact with the still seated girl. “–Do you know where the fridge is? It’s the big white thing that’s currently running. Not that fast, though. You’ll be able to catch it.” God, that joke was rough. She had been around Clint too much.
Maybe Luna’s first concern should have been where she was and how she got there, but after finding herself in a strange variation of Earth that was unfamiliar to her, she had other concerns. Like getting some food. Typically she tried to eat relatively healthy, but she was starving. And a burger sounded pretty good in the moment. The only problem was that she didn’t have any money on her. She didn’t really have anything, actually. “Excuse me, could you spare me a burger? And maybe some fries? I don’t have a way to repay you but it’d be greatly appreciated.”
What was it with all of the kids? Scott’s daughter … well, that was actually the only new one. Still. Jessica happened to be very strapped for cash. She was decently close to signing up for one of those apps where heroes could rent out their services that Gwen had told her about. “Is this Oliver Twist?” The joke fell flat. “Someone left frozen tacos in the Facilities freezer. They may have freezer burn. Does that work?”
