Library, Tuesday

[faithandscience]

For all its flights of fancy, the library certainly knew when to get down to business to defeat the Huns. The books were all where they ought to be, nothing was flying around unexpectedly, and the only thing that wasn't usually in the library were the plates of gingerbread cookies that had appeared on the tables, because apparently the library had

His own, probably. Electroclash had to grudgingly respect that.

She gave them both a sour look. "Well, I can find someone with better people skills, which is more than could be said for you." She nodded at Topher. "You were ready to just give up after the first failure."

She was only on her own side too.

Just a vibe he had and all.

"And I'm sure as hell not gonna help you because you are the way you are."

"She programs the Danger Shop pretty well," Topher told Riley, a little begrudgingly. "The shards of broken stuff always seem very real."

"I control machines with my voice, you dimwit," Electroclash replied, to Riley, with her hands on her hips. Though she nodded at Topher. "What he said about the Danger Shop? I talk to the computer and it does what I ask."

IT WAS TOO LATE FOR THAT, ELECTROCLASH.

"You control machines with your voice?" Riley asked, eyes widening. And he remembered that she lived around him and that just a few days after their unpleasant first meeting, his electronics had been toast. "Was that your doing? My stuff! Are you the one who did it?"

Sorry Topher, Riley wasn't being very clear right now. He was a little angry.

Riley glared and stood up quickly.

"Take the stupid communicator," he said, leaving it where it was. "This isn't over though, you and me."

Because now that he knew, he was determined to take revenge. "I'm outta here. Next time, maybe say thank you before you get in on how you can do it better."

He brushed past and purposefully bumped her shoulder as he moved past (because he was twelve) as he walked out of the library for the day.
