Cam had monopolized the common area in the dorms.

Spread across the floor, tables, and couches, were a bunch of meticulously arranged and spread-out parts, from what appeared to be... a dozen toasters? A coffee machine? Quite a few shells discarded in the corner of the room.

Cam had a screwdriver in his hand as he gutted yet another appliance, adding to his collection of springs, levers, cogs and whathaveyou.

"If you've murdered the X-Box, I'll cut you," Diego joked as he walked up.

"You're kidding, right? It's, like, school property and stuff man."

Cam waved his hand dismissively. "If the school didn't want things disassembled, they should have bought sturdier things."

"So... you're trying to get expelled? More power to you... I guess?" he asked confusedly.

"Careful with the supervillain threats there buddy. That's a good way to get punched around here," he said amiably, not taking Cam seriously.

"Well, might does make right for the feeble minded. I try to pay them no mind," he said, continuing to tinker.

"It's more right makes might... which is sometimes used for punching people doing bad things," he argued.

"If right made might, then supervillains wouldn't exist. They'd all be flopping around without arm muscles. Your point is invalid!"

"Would you at least allow that force can be necessary and even right when used to protect the innocent?"

"Anyone ever tell you that you're weird? Not that there's anything wrong with weird. Normal is boring."

"Now this is my kind of common room!"

A new blond student entered, wearing a colorful long dress and poncho.

"About every five minutes since I got here.

And watch where you're stepping!" Cam shouted at the new girl. "Those coils are in precise order."

"You like electronic charnel houses?" he joked.

"No, wait... aaand the better joke got away."

"These coils here?" She asked, picking one up, and absently connecting a battery and resistor assembly.

She smiled at Diego.

"Totally my kind of charnel!"

"Gah! Don't touch those! They need to be sorted according to spectromic density if they're going to be part of the central core!"

"Central cores and spectromic density. You sure do know how to sweet talk."

She grinned, placing the coils and parts back in their place.

"I wouldn't want to get in the way of whatever you are creating! I'm just happy to meet someone else who tinkers."

"Lady, I don't 'tinker'. I solve problems. I bend the universe into obeying my very whim, twisting the fabric of reality itself until it's rolling over, begging for mercy."

Bear frowned, a rare occurrence.

"No need to be insulting."

"My things of concern don't exactly have on/off switches." She said, a little curt.

"Well, there you go then. Build an on switch, turn it on, and you're good to go. Glad I could help."

"Glad I could be helped! I'll leave you two alone, sorry to interfere in whatever you two are building."

Bear turned to leave, picking up one of the coils again.

"Spectromic density of 0.34, right?" She said, before snapping it in two.

"My mistake. 0.36."

Cam shrieked. "What on EARTH are you doing? Why would you do that? What possessed you!" he cried, rushing over and swiping the broken parts from Bear's hands.

"Get out! Get out!" he shouted, hopping up and down. "How dare you! How DARE you? You...you philistine! Cinderblock! You...you wench!

Here I am, trying to do actual good in this universe, and I have to put up with someone like you coming in and breaking my equipment? How heartless can you get?"

Diego put on his best helpful cop face and cleared his throat.

"Yeah... I'm gonna need you both to stop and chill a minute. You're both kinda being uncool right now."

"Whatever. I've got things to do."

She turned to leave, before turning back and giving Diego a hug.

"Nice to meet you!"

She smiled, leaving.

"She just doomed someone to never knowing their past. I should...I should..." Cam fumed. "Rargh!" he finally shouted, kicking a toaster shell as hard as he could and sending the mess sprawling through the room.

He stormed out in the other direction.

Diego just stood there looking vaguely confused. "What... just happened?"
