Spider-Girl

“You really should! I mean you’ll like him a lot. I, uh- I mean I didn’t like set out to like… have a kid move in with me. He kinda got kidnapped and I found him and he needed somewhere to stay, and everyone on Asgard are giant jerk faces so…” She was babbling. Rikki winced again.

“Uh-huh,” she nodded at Rikki teasingly, grin on her face growing larger even as the girl eventually started to ramble a little. “Aaand naturally, you opened up your door along with that gigantic heart of yours, right?”

“Oh yeah, I mean- I mean of course.” She should have been more careful with breaking it to her. Should have been better at judging what would be too much. You’re a giant jerk, Barnes.

“… Sorry.”

“Hey-- It’s all good, really.” she offered along with a small nod. It hadn’t been something she had expected, by any means, but she could roll with this. Grinning now before continuing, “I mean.. I know I’ll have to properly meet him sometime and all that jazz... but this is good.”

“… Yeah. I mean…” Rikki shrugged, tried to act like this wasn’t the biggest bombshell she could have dropped. Still, when she spoke she sounded firm and certain. She was certain about this. “He’s not the old Loki. You’ve just gotta talk to him for five seconds to see it. I’m not under mind control or something. I mean- I mean again.” It occurred to her suddenly that Anya might not trust her- after Onslaught could she be trusted?

She exhaled a deep breath and then paused before responding. Paused to think over this news, and all that her friend was telling her now. This couldn’t be bad, she knew that in her head. Someone would have noticed. At some point it occurred to her that her silence might well come off that she didn’t trust the girl, which was about the last thing she wanted to convey. “Oh Rikki, I believe you..” the brunette started before shifting gears a little. “I trust you, believe me. It just.. is a bit of a weird thought to get used to, y’know?”

“In that case...how about like, Chinese? Or OH! That one deli place by the corner maybe?? You know the one.”

“Well, what did you have in mind?” She asked, raising an eyebrow curiously. “I’m always up to getting out of here and finding fun.”

“You make it too easy.”

“Pshh” she sounded back in reply. “I’m not that easy.” Clearly having lost herself in defiance, the brunette paused. “I mean.. I don’t make it that easy really..” But do I? she wondered to herself.

At Anya’s expression, Rikki realized exactly how massive a thing that had been to drop on her.

“Dang- I- uh- yeah.” She shook her head apologetically, “I mean, it is great and he’s an awesome kid but I shoulda like… not blurted. Sorry. And, uh. Yeah. You know Loki? I mean- the kid version who goes here?

“....” she paused blankly. “Loki?? Really?” Well this was sure a surprise. Not that she should, or did have anything against this.... version? Of the Asgardian. From what she had heard of him, anyways, having not had much to do with the younger hero herself. “No, no.. you’re fine. I just.. didn’t expect this.”

“You. Just had to, huh?”

“I mean, not like.. officially or whatever, but he lives with me when he’s not here and like-” Rikki shook her head, “Y’know what? It’s kinda a long story.”

“Oh man... that’s... that’s kinda great though, you know? I mean, he sure has someone good looking out for him and all, and wow. But Rikki... is it someone I’d.... know?”

“Oh- I’m not.” Smiling, grateful that Anya hadgiven her an out, Rikki gestured vaguely toward the residence rooms, “Just visiting. I- I’ve actually kinda… is there a word for like, adopting a brother?”

“Wait.. excuse me??” her mouth dropped a little. “Adopted.. a brother?” Not exactly what she had expected to hear... but then again, what had she expected to hear anyway? That Rikki was actually teaching now? Or..

“Sappy Rikki is my greatest enemy.” Smiling weakly, she glanced at Anya, then back at her feet. Eye contact was a liiiiiiittle too much right now. Point avoiging humor? Point avoiding humor. “And one day I’m probably gonna get split into like, me Rikki and Sappy Rikki and you’re gonna have to work out which one of us is real and you better pick right on you’re gonna be stuck with her crying on your shoulder forever.” Huh. Point avoiding humor which also went on far too long.

“Oh, don’t I know it??” she answered back with a shake of her head. “One day... and I’ll have my work cut out for me, I know. I’m doomed, aren’t I?” Anya chuckled lightly. “You know my shoulder is always open though..”

“Hey, it’s just science jargon nonsense. Can’t really remember what Tony called it but…”

Rikki shrugged. Of course she could remember, but she wasn’t going to make her reunion wiith Anya all about how rubbish coming back to life had been.

She looked at her, smile brighter now.

“And yeah. Much better.”

“Science jargon... heh. I’m sure something complicated knowing him,” she offered with a quick shrug, figuring it was about time to change the topic maybe. “So... academy life?? How long have you been here now?!”

“Course it is. D’yah really think Ah’d be lyin’ tah you ‘bout that?”

“No!” she exclaimed a little too quickly before pausing. “Of course I don’t think you’d be lying! I just...” the girl trailed off.

“… It’s okay to ask.”Rikki smiled weakly, shook her head. “I mean… I dunno what happened. Exactly. Basically just sorta… came back together? Charged atomic magnetism or something. Hurt like heck but whatever. Better to be not dead, right?”

Nodding at the girl, Anya winced at her description of how it happened. “Oh jeeze...that sounds..awful.” she stuttered in response. Sure, she had been through some painful stuff but this? This seemed.. intense. “Better?? Of course!”
