sometimes you've just gotta ask

[It had to happen eventually: Jaime needed advice from his girlfriend. The Blue Beetle was facing off against this weird magic vampire chick (she called herself "Black Alice?") and while the Scarab normally gave him advice, the Scarab didn't like magic. It wasn't programmed with magic knowledge because its inherent weakness was magic.

(Jaime would've guessed that the Scarab needed to know the intrinsic properties of magic in case, you know, some enemy decided to use lightning magic against him.) Point was, he didn't exactly know how to fight this girl, but Alex might.

Using the Scarab's communication signals, he patches in a phone call to her. Ring-ring, Alex! He just hopes he hasn't caught her at a bad time.]

[Bad time? There was no good time right now. Her school break had apparently turned into running the sub shop for a suddenly absent Max and company.

She could have gone anywhere in the world--El Paso *cough*--but no. She decided to stay right here for some quality family time--]


I'll get right on it.

[She meets a customer's indignant glare with a withering look of her own as she flips out her phone and checks the number--awww! Atleast things are better now--another Disapproving Stare at the sighing patron as her tone switches to bubbly.]

Hey.~ What's up?

[Aw, amazing boyfriend being cute on the phone--what?! What did he just say? Alex shushes the aggravated customer.]

What, like my sister-in-law dressed up as one of those Sailor Whatever they are girls? Is it convention week already because--oh my gosh!

[She wheels away towards the kitchen shrugging off the patrons.]

You're serious. Okay, wait: they have magic? Like... wizard spell magic or like creepy-rawr-monster magic?

... No. She just has a severe pumpkin allergy and is morally opposed to tanning.

[The smart aleck thing just comes to easily to Alex. But she doesn't snort afterwards, so she's not intending the snark this time. Instead, she's moved into the lair and is rummaging around noisily.] Hang on, I remembered her dad gave me this stupid book forever ago.

[A stack of tomes crash to the floor on her foot. She silently screams, then starts beating the pile with what was left on the shelf--oh! what she was looking for. Blow off the dust:] Rare Marvels: The Majesty of Mystic Vampire Magic.

Well, gee, that's convenient! And not the least bit melodramatic in any way.

What kind of things are they throwing? Like... elements or just energy? What color is it?

[Alex is leafing through the book, nodding, sighing, and switching the phone from shoulder to shoulder. Max hangs in the door of the lair making kissy faces--she stops to give him the stink-eye before nearly dropping the phone.]

Oh, she is NOT using Hypno-Pulses on my boyfriend--I swear I will murder her so hard she will have never been born.

[Overprotective girlfriend much? She's waffling between anger and worry--doing this over the phone is really driving her nuts. She's processing what he's saying. She's slightly calmer, but still on edge.]

Are you able to move? You were really hurting the first time I...

Okay, where are you? I could just pop in.
