BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday Morning

[slothbabyproductions]

The Khan family was not known for doing the minimum for anything. Which is why the entire family drove down in multiple cars the entire way from Jersey City to BWI. Three hours in the car of her mom and dad asking if she had everything. Asking if she needed anything. There's a Target on the way in case she needed or forgot something. Meanwhile Aamir kept texting her complaints about Abbu's driving skills and asking if Kamala needed anything.

"I'm fine," was the common answer to everything. Again, again and again. Then there was hugs and fussing over everything when they got to the airport and reminders and more fuss. To which everything Kamala laughed and said "I'm fine."

And then they got in their car and left.

And Kamala was standing in the Portalocity Lounge taking it all in while holding her stuffed sloth and a pile of luggage next to her.

Deep breath. "I'm fine."

...

"Why is there so much glitter?"

“Oh, they used to be a major weapons manufacturer but now they’re more about technology and privatized security,” Kamala explained with a lot of gusto for a teenaged girl. “But they also do a lot for energy renewal and research. It’s like one of the best places you could get a job at.”

And maybe lead to being on the Avengers?

Wrong universe, Kamala.

"Mmmm," Stewart squinted a little as he considered this information. "Interesting rebranding. No doubt fortuitous for their HR department. That does sound like quite the opportunity...if you're in to that sort of thing. Good luck. It would be a shame to just go and...squander it..."

And there did actually seem to be a fair amount of genuine sincerity in that assessment, although the rather sinister sort of smile on the end there would probably leave anyone guessing.

There was a lot of verbal inflections and facial expressions going on here.

“Thank you!”

And because… well he was making it weird. “I think? Are you from this planet?”

Look there a wizard right over there, Stewart. The question had to be asked.
