"Are som eof those going back to New York with you?" Jack asked, in a firm, not-going-to-admit-I'm-sad-about-this kind of voice. "I wouldn't mind. Just dont't take Penny there, she's my favorite."

"Of course not. Could you imagine the panic if they started multiplying and then reappearing after everyone trashed them?" Emma said, shaking her head as she stepped around Penny to extend her sword in a downward sweeping arc to stab Muertos Gnome in his tiny eye. "It would all get blamed on mutants, and zombie lawn gnomes will have destroyed the social scene."

"And that would be the end of your career as a social climber," Jack said, mock-rueful. "Better they stay here where nobody cares."

"And the end of all commerce in New York as the mundane population becomes terrified to leave their homes, causing a worldwide economic crash and a genocide of gnomes everywhere," Emma agreed. "They're safer here, for the sake of their un-undead comrades."

She pulled her sword out of Muertos to walk over and give Jack a kiss. "Besides, I need someone to keep an eye on you and tattle when you get in trouble. I can't read squirrel, so I bribed the gnomes."

Sometimes Karla's Black Widow powers manifested in dreams and visions acted out over a loom. Sometimes they were a lot more subtle, like a need to call an old friend out of the blue.

Ring ring!

Emma's phone was ringing. Why was Emma's phone ringing?

She flipped it over enough to see who was calling, then slipped away to answer before it tripped to voicemail. "Frost. What did you do this time, Karla?"

WHAT. It wasn't as if Karla was in the habit of calling when she wasn't in trouble.

And yet Karla was still unprepared for it. "Uhh, I just finished weeding my garden, getting ready for spring proper?"

For once, she'd been behaving!

"Is anyone on fire or bleeding who isn't supposed to be?" Emma checked. Because, well, Blood. It was a fair question.
