Peyton turned around on a dime , her mouth stuffed with a twinkie ( or maybe two , we aren't quite sure , ) as she stared wide eyed at wherever the voice had just come from . As she realized who it was , she finished stuffing the food in her mouth and waved , " Hey dude ! " She called , a hand over her mouth as she tried her best not to drop any . She swallowed as much as she could and took a few steps closer . " Cafe's closing up soon , what're you doin' here ? "

- Sleipnir glanced over at her, right as she opened that one eye to look at him, and felt his face heating up once more. He mentally chided himself, rubbing at one of his forearms like he was cold. Even Asgardian teenagers got nervous. "I guess I will," he finally said, turning so that he was looking up at the "stars" again, "I could show you Alfheim. The elves live there." And if he was being honest, it was beautiful to look at, no matter what season it was.
"What's a... Hot Pocket?" he mumbled after a moment, barely even noticing the sudden physical contact as his eyes were drawn to the constellation zooming towards them.
If there was one thing that his mother had forbade him to do, it was to eat most of the "disgusting, processed Midgardian food." He had managed to try some of it in his twenty-odd years on Earth, but Hot Pockets had apparently never made it into his diet.
"Pegasus. Those are real, you know. I do not believe you have them here, but most other realms do. Pegasus. Pegasi? Pegasuses?" AJ nearly choked on her words , her face bright red as she looked at him . It was clear by the look on her face that she didn't expect him to sound so serious about it . Would he really do that ? She flipped over onto her stomach , propping herself up to look at him with bright , light brown eyes . " Wait , are you for real ? You're joking , right ? Would you really take me to someplace like that - if it really exists ? "
Her father never really clued her in on other worlds , if he knew anything ( or chose to know anything , ) about them . She never spent much time around Thor , only when she was very young , and not old enough to know any better . Pushing the thought aside , she giggled , " You've never had a Hot Pocket ? Oh boy , your time here is going to be full of new experiences , my guy . "
She rolled back over so her spine straightened out and toyed with the starry image . She beamed as she listened to him tell her they exist in places outside of here . " Dude , if we had Pegasi here , I would not be riding in the car to the mall . That sounds absolutely amazing ... " She smiled softly as she closed her eyes , stifling another yawn . " You sure are something , Sleipnir . Glad we crossed paths . "
And to think her day started out with intentions of going to the spa of all places . - "I'm not," Sleipnir confirmed, "joking, I mean. I'm not joking. You seem like the kind of person that I would like to visit another realm with." She was open-minded, smart, nice. It wasn't hard to get Sleipnir to like you, but it was a miracle if you got him to want to spend any elongated amount of time with you, and even he knew that. That was why he was so intrigued by the girl lying next to him, who was now informing him on what exactly a Hot Pocket was, or, not really.
"That still doesn't explain what it is," he whined, laughing, but she was already back on to Pegasi, and then... she was complimenting him.
That familiar warmth crawled its way up his face and neck again, and he smiled in the half-light, mostly to himself. "I'm glad too." And to think that he'd thought making friends here was going to be an impossible task.

" She formed a lazy smile as she rested her head against his shoulder , keeping her eyes closed . " Right , right , Hot Pockets - sorry , just - easily distracted ... today . "
She flung an arm up into the air , only to have to come back down and whack herself in the face , though she was too dreary to be phased , " Imagine , all your favorite microwavable foods . Now imagine them stuffed into a rectangle shaped dough . Usually with cheese . It takes two minutes to warm your Hot Pocket , but , but it takes thirty seconds of your mouth burning for it to warm your heart . " She managed a laugh amongst her tired stuttering .
Slowly , her eyes opened just a bit , and she looked up to him . " Nice , " She half heartedly pumped her fist before tucking it under her jaw .

- Lila scrunched up her nose, blowing a raspberry at him, standing as he stood. "We should probably enlist Tech Genius AJ's help too, if we're going back to the dorms. If Fury finds us snooping he probably has the Uncle Pass that's required to kick us in the pants," but, even saying that made her laugh, and she soon sped off, towards the doors that led towards the dorm halls.
"Come on, Danny! See you later, Peyton! And Chase!" Daniel sputtered a bit before running after her and tossing his hands in the air . Once she had a plan in her mind , she was unstoppable . " Shouldn't we text her first ?! It's almost nine o'clock ! " He yelped , trailing after her . If there was one thing AJ didn't want disturbed , it was her Beauty Sleep Schedule , which essentially lasted from 9:00 pm to 3:00 pm the next day . She liked her sleep . Last time Danny tried calling her about math homework at 9:07 pm last year , she went on an hour long rant about how she needed to rest because she had a whole day of more rest planned for the following day and she needed to get a head start . Needless to say , he never called past 8:00 since , just to be safe .

Her play-by-play of what exactly a Hot Pocket was only made him more confused than he had been originally, but he figured that asking further questions wouldn't help to alleviate that. Strangely enough, in this odd little space with the stars projected on the ceiling, Fleetwood Mac crooning out a song he'd never heard, and a girl he'd just met lying on his shoulder, not knowing something didn't really bother him.
A beat, as he watched her fist pump into the air, and then an agreement. "Nice." And he smiled, glancing down at her before going back to looking at the stars, carving out places he had visited with his eyes.

Adrianna doesn't understand personal space omg like luckily she's not passed out on him but she's like ' this is comfy ,,, i sleep here ' ))
Within a few minutes , AJ was passed out , snoring peacefully . FRIDAY chimed a small alert , and in a much quieter voice , acknowledged the young man in the room .
" It would appear Miss Stark is asleep . She always leaves her door open , so you may leave whenever you decide to . "
Though obviously the AI was not capable of intensely complex thought , one would guess that FRIDAY would know if anything were to happen to AJ or any of her belongings , AJ would find out immediately . This allowed her to sleep peacefully without worrying about people miffing with her stuff .
The brunette's hair had fallen out of her ponytail by now and covered a good portion of her face . She appeared rather at ease after the day's events . It had ended in a way she didn't expect . She'd made friends with someone she clicked with so well , someone she felt she could trust . It was nice ...

- Lila was sure it would be fine, but then again, she'd never dealt with AJ when she was deprived of her more-than-twelve-hours of beauty rest.
The walk to the dorms wasn't a very long one from the cafeteria. They were in separate buildings, but the dorms all connected via futuristic-looking tunnel, and she power walked through the one that she knew connected to AJ's dorm, and her own. Her footsteps echoed in the deserted tube, well, deserted if it hadn't been for the presences of her and Daniel. Outside, the sun was essentially gone, the glow on the horizon either its dying attempts to light the sky, or just a city or town that was in that general direction.
Lil didn't comment, she just hurried her way through the tube, into the dorms, and down the hall until she got to the door that had Mr. Stark's insignia on it, using the flat palm of one of her hands to bang on it and call, "Hey, AJ! It's Lil and Danny!"

It's Lil and Danny!" AJ , who was unphased by most noises , groaned irritably . Lila was lucky she wasn't fully asleep . She almost jumped , had FRIDAY not alerted her via a pulse in her watch that someone was approaching . " I'm trying to SLEEP . " She growled , carefully sitting up and sliding a sensor on the wall to turn the lights up just slightly . " What could you possibly want ? You're encroaching on my beauty sleep . With all the times you've interrupted me over the years , you'd better pray I fall into a beauty coma before I decide to knock you on your a - "
AJ's face burned as she realized Sleipnir was still in her room . She chuckled nervously before looking up , seeing Daniel step into her room . His face immediately went red as he spotted her with some dude he didn't know . " I - I , uh - I need - uh - " HOW HARD IS IT TO SAY YOU NEED THE STUDENT ROSTER ?! Why was he acting so weird ?! Maybe because AJ had some guy in her room and she was literally always alone otherwise ? It wasn't jealousy , but it was just - off putting and strange , and he couldn't explain why .
" You need what dude ?! " She snapped , rubbing the sleep from her eyes . Clearly she was a lot more hostile towards people who interrupted her sleep patterns .

- Lila darted after Danny, face twisting upwards in a devilish smile as she watched this unfamiliar and cute boy pat AJ on the shoulder, whisper a "goodnight," and then dart out of the room like a shot, leaving the three of them alone.
"AJ! It's been like, five hours, jeez! Oh, and, uh, we need the student roster. Pretty please," she babbled, hopping up and down on the balls of her feet, "sorry, if we were interrupting something. We weren't interrupting something, right? Really, sorry, I mean, Danny said that you were getting your beauty rest or whatever, and I guess that means different things for different people, you know?" She grinned through this whole long, awkward spiel, now hopping from one foot to the other as she waited for an answer, preferably one that ended in them getting the roster.
In all reality, she wasn't scandalized by the fact that she'd walked in on AJ with a dude, who she'd pretty much just seemed to be napping with. She'd walked in on things that were a lot worse in her years of being a terrible snoop and judge of situations, so she wasn't really sure why Danny looked like he'd swallowed his foot.

It had been an incredibly long day. And incredibly long days meant incredibly short walks to the nearest vending machine, where he could get anything - ANYTHING - with caffeine in it. Eyes are dead focused in front of him, but it's apparent that he wasn't actually seeing much. Shapes and faces turn to blurs, but he can vaguely see the outline of the glowing machine, practically a neon sign saying, 'Over here, Sampson. Come get your energy for only a dollar fifty!'
He pulls the crumpled dollar bill from his pants' pocket and is eager to exchange it for a soda, but in a tired haze, he's missed the girl standing next to the vending machine, and when outstretching his hand to insert the dollar, he, instead, hits her in the shoulder. Arm catches and is brought back toward him in a rebound, as he blinks away the blur to look at her, before a laugh begins in his chest. "I thought you were part of the vending machine,"

Peyton was prepared for most things , even if she thought she wasn't prepared for them . However , she didn't think she was quite prepared for being a human vending machine . All she had to offer was the last three sugar - crammed chocolate bars she'd knocked loose from in there . She was the queen of the vending machines .
" Jokes on you , I am ! " She snickered , brushing her hair from her face and looking up to the newcomer . " Or well , I might as well be . Kinda ran this one dry , but uh , I'll give you this energy bar if you want it ? It's ... chocolatey , I think ! " She took a bite of the one she had and nodded , yes , definitely . This was the good type of sugar bar that would probably keep her kicking until midnight .
She didn't think she'd seen this ( cute ) stranger yet . Despite only arriving on campus a few days ago , Peyton somehow knew pretty much everyone . " If that's not your thing , I was considering ordering pizza . If I ignore the fact that I just ate pretty much everything in the vending machine , three burritos , and two large orders of curly fries . " She giggled , balancing herself on the wheels of her shoes . Her appetite was impressive for a sixteen year old , especially considering how small she was . It was also surprising to most that she was that friendly ; willing to order and share her food with complete strangers just because they were both hungry . That's just how she worked , really . Peyton Parker , the Ultimate Best Friend™

On a good, second look, what, exactly, was he expecting to get out of that vending machine? There was barely anything left, and definitely nothing that would help him get through the rest of the afternoon. Leave it up to Sampson to choose the wrong vending machine, out of all the things he could've been wrong about. The girl's words take a moment to process, drilling through the sleep in his brain to finally reach the intelligent part. An energy bar? That could help. But would it help ENOUGH? Should he find a different machine, instead? He wanted soda, maybe a Redbull, anything that would get his blood pumping and his eyes wide open.
"You ate all that?" A nonjudgemental curiosity. Sam also happened to be a bottomless pit, so the information made the corners of his lips turn up in amusement. Now a bit more focused, he holds out the dollar in exchange for the bar - the chocolatey one, as she had put it. "I'll take that and the pizza, if you're offering. Can't turn down pizza. Don't know anyone who could."

Peyton beamed , tilting her chin up . She was proud of how she single - handedly sent the Cafe staff into absolute chaos within an hour of being there . It was an achievement she'd wear with honor . The girl gratefully takes the dollar and stuffs it into her back pocket , holding the energy bar out to him . " There you go ! Your contribution is greatly appreciated . It'll get me one dollar closer to my next vending machine escapade . "
She grabbed her cellphone and tugged on his shirt sleeve as she made her way out of the cafe . " Well , no sense hanging around here if you wanna pizza my dude ! This way ! " She laughed , her ever positive aura being infectious as ever . Before Sam could make it out the door , she leaped up and stuck her hands to the wall , climbing up and hanging upside down from the ceiling . She quickly tapped away at her phone , after all , the pizza place was on speed dial . " What's your name ? " She asked , her hair fluffing out as she began to walk upside down through the corridors towards her dorm .
" I'm Peyton by the way ! But that's not important , what's important is - what kind of pizza are we ordering , and are we getting mozzarella sticks , wings , or both ? These are the important questions you see , " She tapped her fist onto her palm a few times , putting on her best serious face . It didn't last long .

Sam was quick to follow her, even as she dragged him slightly along by his sleeve. Her energy was keeping him awake, along with the bar he had taken down in two halves, barely chewing. It would do, for now. "Nice t'meet you, Peyton," he's caught slightly by surprise when she begins to walk on the ceiling, but he laughs, as per usual, at the shock of it. "Name's Sam. Quill." Not that that last part was important, but he'd add it for emphasis. She's ready to order the pizza, and he happens to admire her for that. Wherever there was free food and good company, that's where anyone could find Sam. Especially the free food part.
He thinks about it. He liked any and all pizza, as long as it was very much absent of mushroom. "Any is good. No fungus, though," He found himself wanting to walk beside her up there, but it was clear he couldn't do that, so he settled for watching her with a smile. "If we don't get both, are we really living?" a chuckle, licking his lips. "And maybe some pop, t'go with it. Since the vending machine let me down."

Peyton smiled down at him , pausing to step over a divider on the ceiling . She sighed with relief , glad to know this Sam - boy wasn't a total sinner . " Ew , who eats mushrooms on pizza ?! Those cruel , vile , awful human be - Hi yes , I'd like to get an order delivered ? " She covered her mouth as she tried her best not to giggle . Knowing Pey , it was not the easy task .
" Yeah , um , can you deliver to an island ? No ? What if I give you a fifty dollar tip ?
...
Okay so I'm gonna need like , the largest pizza you got - "
She rattled off the order before looking to Sam , hearing him say they should get both . She clutched her heart , a look in her eyes akin to when you see your favorite TV show couple finally kiss after seven seasons of being S O . C L O S E . " I'm in love - Yeah I'm here , we also need whatever your biggest order of wings is , and like , three orders of cheese sticks . Make that four - "
She walked down the side of the wall and hopped off , running for a few steps before gliding down and around the corner , running her hand along the walls until she stopped at her dorm . There was an orange , pulsing spiderweb encased in a circle that marked her dorm . She knocked a combination with both of her hands reminiscent of the chorusline of ' Come And Get Your Love ' by Redbone , spun on her toes , and then knocking out the last few notes before it slid up and allowed her to enter . She continued to jam to the inaudible beat as she kicked off her shoes .
" Sweet , if you can get it here in like , fifteen minutes by drone or somethin , I'll give you my twenty - five dollar giftcard to GameStop . Awesome , later my friend . "
She hung up and tossed her phone onto her bed , holding her arms out wide over her head , " Welcome to Camp Parker , make yourself at home , bro . There's soda in the minifridge , because as if I'd leave home without one . " Walking into Peyton's room was like walking straight back into the mid eighties to the point where it was honestly surreal . Was that a Sega Genesis and an NES ?

She's cute. He likes the way she laughs, the way she talks to everyone like they're her friends, even if she's just met them. Sam watches her order the pizza, climb down from the wall, zoom around the corner until they both reached her dorm room. He listens carefully to the combination, and instantly recognizes the song from his dad's collection. "Good choice," a true compliment from the youngest Quill upon entering her room. "Holy hell - this is awesome! A true retro extravaganza in here!" A brightness fills his eyes and his smile, as he reaches out to the mini fridge to grab a Coke in an actual glass bottle. "I'm truly impressed,"
He does, indeed, make himself at home, plopping down in a beanbag chair next to the hammock that he assumed was her bed. This chick was, by all of Sam's standards, fresh as HELL. He pulls his hood up over his dirty blonde head and cracks open the cold bottle in his hands before taking a huge gulp, downing half the bubbly liquid in one go. "So you like the 80's," an obvious statement, with just a glance around. "Best era, in my opinion. Anyone who disagrees?" A whistle. "Wrong." He was joking. MOSTLY.

" Only the best at Camp Parker my good dude ~ You're welcome any time , now that you know the door combo . "
She does her best not to blush at his compliment , but she is defeated by her emotions . Reaching for a Jolt Cola can , she taps it before popping it open with a satisfied smirk . Sure , the soda had been discontinued in the late 80s , early 90s , but Peyton knew a guy . She smiles brightly as he seemingly finds himself at home in her room . " Awesome , right ? "
She leaps onto her hammock and it swings wildly , but she stays atop it easily . Many , many hours of practice on that one .
" Oh hey , check it - " She grins deviously , drawing her foot back and pressing it against a rubber ball on the floor . She lifts her foot back and over her head , - thank goodness she was flexible , - unsticks it from her shoe , and tosses it at her boombox , pushing the cassette tape in . Bust A Move by Young MC began to play , and she bopped her head to the beat , her eyes closing as she became enveloped in her own world . This was home , and she wouldn't trade it for anything .
And now it was even better , because she had someone to share it with .
" Listen , I belong in the 80s , " She chuckles , laying on her stomach on her hammock . " Duh , of course , " Peyton says matter of factly in agreement , carding a hand through her choppy locks with a smirk .
She looks over to him , her cheeks still rosy , " So , Samwise , where you from , anyway ? " She asks curiously , taking a large gulp of her soda before crushing the can in her hand and tossing it into a garbage can .

His dad would love this room! Sam thought about taking a picture and sending it to him, but one ,Peyton might think that was kind of creepy, and TWO, Sam doubted Peter got any cellphone service wherever he was, so he'd wait. A full blown laugh leaves our young man as he watches her start some music with nothing but her boot and a ball, finding it rather impressive that she had done so. "Young MC? I like your style," he was partial David Bowie and the Jackson 5, but he'd never brush off classic hip hop.
Samwise? Really? Another laugh escapes him. Other people have tried out the nickname and gotten stoney faces and 'don't call me that' expressions, but coming from Peyton, it didn't sound so bad. "Oh, here and there," technically he had been born on the Milano, with all the Guardians helping out with his birth, though Gamora hadn't really needed much help at all. "Technically I'm part Terrain and part Zen-Whoberis, but I was born on either planet, so," a shrug, still smiling as he took another, smaller drink of the Coke. "What about you, Molly Ringwald?" A sharp witted come back, all in good fun. "Where do you call home?"

- Lila darted after Danny, face twisting upwards in a devilish smile as she watched this unfamiliar and cute boy pat AJ on the shoulder, whisper a "goodnight," and then dart out of the room like a shot, leaving the three of them alone.
"AJ! It's been like, five hours, jeez! Oh, and, uh, we need the student roster. Pretty please," she babbled, hopping up and down on the balls of her feet, "sorry, if we were interrupting something. We weren't interrupting something, right? Really, sorry, I mean, Danny said that you were getting your beauty rest or whatever, and I guess that means different things for different people, you know?" She grinned through this whole long, awkward spiel, now hopping from one foot to the other as she waited for an answer, preferably one that ended in them getting the roster.
In all reality, she wasn't scandalized by the fact that she'd walked in on AJ with a dude, who she'd pretty much just seemed to be napping with. She'd walked in on things that were a lot worse in her years of being a terrible snoop and judge of situations, so she wasn't really sure why Danny looked like he'd swallowed his foot.
{ ooc: i am going to head to bed! talk to you tmrw afternoon. } Adrianna growled irritably , appearing sad only when she realized Sleipnir had left . " Thanks for scaring off my hot date , " She hissed , standing up and shuffling over to her desk . " Glad to see your mouth still runs like a whipperwill's a- Oh you've gotta be kidding me - " She rubbed her eyes , trying to clear her vision , but figuring it wasn't worth it . " FRIDAY will you please give these pains in my rear what they want before I throw them into the ocean ? The - The thing , the student roster file . "
" Locating and uploading file : S.H.I.E.L.D ACADEMY Student_Roster_2018 "
A projection appeared , along with a few other screens as well . " Why do you need this so badly that it couldn't wait til morning ? " She muttered , " Half the files are locked and I'm not getting into them tonight . You're stuck with names or schedules or whatever's there . " What could they possibly be wanting to look for at this hour , really ?
{ ooc: good afternoon/evening! }
- "Sorry," Lila said, shrugging her thin shoulders. She really was too. He had been cute, but she was sure that he'd be back if he'd spent this long with AJ and not gotten his head bitten off. The thought made her chuckle to herself.
Her eyes turned towards the projection as it appeared, reflecting it in the half light. Putting her hands on her hips, she glanced it over, and then declared, "We want to find out if Loki's kids are here, and who they are." She spoke, and felt, like she was doing something like her dad would do, like she was heroic.
"Could you, uh," she made a scrolling motion with her hand, well, to the outside viewer it was mostly just her flopping her hand up and down like she was having a spasm.

His dad would love this room! Sam thought about taking a picture and sending it to him, but one ,Peyton might think that was kind of creepy, and TWO, Sam doubted Peter got any cellphone service wherever he was, so he'd wait. A full blown laugh leaves our young man as he watches her start some music with nothing but her boot and a ball, finding it rather impressive that she had done so. "Young MC? I like your style," he was partial David Bowie and the Jackson 5, but he'd never brush off classic hip hop.
Samwise? Really? Another laugh escapes him. Other people have tried out the nickname and gotten stoney faces and 'don't call me that' expressions, but coming from Peyton, it didn't sound so bad. "Oh, here and there," technically he had been born on the Milano, with all the Guardians helping out with his birth, though Gamora hadn't really needed much help at all. "Technically I'm part Terrain and part Zen-Whoberis, but I was born on either planet, so," a shrug, still smiling as he took another, smaller drink of the Coke. "What about you, Molly Ringwald?" A sharp witted come back, all in good fun. "Where do you call home?" Shooting him the best finger guns the world had ever seen , Peyton smacked her hands down on the ground below her and lifted herself up and over , landing promptly on her other beanbag chair near him . She drummed a beat on her legs before reaching for another soda . " Eh , it's no Bowie , but it's still rad as all get out . " She grinned , running a hand through her hair again ; a nervous habit , but most people didn't recognize it as such .
" Dang , you sound like an everything burrito , " Peyton chirps , nudging him with her sneaker , " I'm just boring old human . " Though the look in her eyes when she told him he wasn't born on Earth seemed to spark a sense of fascination . The Molly Ringwald comment only made her smirk and blush as she giggled , wondering if that was really how he perceived her , or if he was just being sassy . She could handle either .
" Good ol' New York City , on Earth , " She huffed , as if it was the most boring thing on the planet , " Where gross people make amazing food . What I'd give to go visit other planets - think of all the new pizza topping opportunities . " She patted her stomach , only to sharply turn towards the door as she heard it ding. Speaking of which -
" Aww yeah , pizza time , baby - "
She leaped out of her seat and answered the door , handing over the money and turning towards Sam with the brightest smile you'd ever see . She tapped a short beat on the door frame and it slid back down . The massive amount of containers on top of the box was no match for Peyton's intense balancing skills as she set them down carefully on the coffee table , shoving aside video game cartridges , CDs , and the occasional comic book .
" Are you ready ? " She bounced eagerly in her spot as she plopped back onto her beanbag chair . As she looked to the box and slowly opened it , it was as if you could just hear the chorus of angels in the background . " Oh this is gonna be good . You get the first slice , broski , dig in ! "

"Could you, uh," she made a scrolling motion with her hand, well, to the outside viewer it was mostly just her flopping her hand up and down like she was having a spasm. Adrianna seemed to have a slight spark of energy in her stance as she looked to the backward projection from where she was standing . " Loki's kids ? " That didn't sound right . She couldn't remember seeing anything that jumped out at her when she had glossed over it a few days ago . " I didn't see any Laufeysons or whatever in there dude , you're probably making a big deal out of nothing . " She rubbed the rest of the sleep from her eyes before walking over and tapping the projection , sliding her hand up and down to look through the files .
" Not to mention , I can't imagine Chief One Eye would bring a villain's kid here . Just saying . "
" Their last names work differently , remember ? " Daniel butted in , " We're pretty sure we saw a Lokison , not Laufeyson . If that's the case , then we're still right , "
AJ sighed irritably , feeling as though this was all some stupid mistake she lost fifteen minutes of sleep over .
(( Should we have them find it ? I feel like maybe they should draw out the suspense for a bit so AJ will have time to build that bond w/ Sleipnir 0u0 ... Maybe the files have been passcoded or something now that everyone's arrived ))

{ ooc: we should definitely build the suspense a little. let's have them encoded (; }
- "Well, I mean, Danny saw it, and he has that, like, crazy good memory," Lila protested. To her that proved without a doubt that there was at least one Lokison on the student roster. Danny had always been the so stoic and serious. If he said he saw it, then he had to be pretty sure, right?
"Why would Uncle Nick even bring them here though? Like, that's crazy," the girl continued, sitting down on AJ's bed as she waited for the results of their little search.
She wasn't going to be too sorely disappointed if nothing turned up, but then she was going to give Danny a noogie for taking her away from the cafeteria, and Peyton, who she had felt a connection with within the five minutes she'd spent with her. Call them... kindred spirits, right?

Danny immediately rubbed his neck awkwardly , trying to suddenly step out of the situation , " I said I thought I saw it , there's a difference , " He stated , looking over the screen where AJ was tapping away at a digital keyboard . He didn't like the look she had on her face as she seemed to have more and more trouble sorting through the files . A lot of them were shown as [ redacted ] or requiring multiple passcodes .
" Looks like they've been heavily encoded . Someone had to have either tampered with the files after we got into the system , or Fury decided privacy was of the essence now that more students are arriving , which means more people like us trying to check sh - "
" Language "
Uncle Steve's voice clip played over F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s system , to which Danny snorted a bit and AJ frowned sharply , " Stuff - out . "
AJ continued to search to the best of her abilities , only stopping to breath out a quiet curse or two upon seeing the lastname : Lokison . So they were right . But there wasn't any available first name or ID photo ; all of those had been protected in the file update , leaving these breadcrumbs in the background as it continued to encode them . She wasn't quite sure how to react to this information .
She looked back to Danny , who saw what she saw , and the two exchanged a nervous glance . What were they going to do about it ? They had no idea who it could possibly be , or why they would even be here . There was no way they could confront Fury , he'd know immediately they'd tampered with things !
