Shortly after a hasty exit from the Point, Sam is staring intently at the barista at the campus coffee shop as they prepare something with six shots of espresso, plus whatever's been on the back burner all night.

"It had to be Cam bloody Banks," she mutters.

"You know that guy?" Nailah asks from where she's leaning against the counter. She's still feeling kinda cocky and hopped up on adrenaline after their successful heist.

"We were at Muir at the same time. He makes Tosh look tame, as science boys go."

"Tosh seems pretty tame already. When he's not all sharky anyway. Was that sprinkler thing real? Cause it sounded like a joke..."

"Doctor MacTaggert didn't seem all that amused when he filched her credit card and ordered seven hundred pounds of Dutch-process cocoa powder online."

"Eesh... Well, you can't say he doesn't commit to an idea though. And he helped put Will back together, so how bad can he really be?"

"He just gets on my nerves. Like you're at Muir to try to get a handle on things and there's this boy that's always bodging things together."

"Sounds annoying alright. But you're not at Muir anymore and neither is he, that probably means he got better, yeah?"

"You can be better at the things they send you to Muir for and still drive people up a wall."

"That's a good point. Is that why you're making him a Heartattackachino?" she chuckles.

"Either he'll see it as a peace offering, or he'll be quietly vibrating on the front lawn for several hours."

"It'll still have two sugars in it."

"They tend to be... noisy? Like I think he considers them more impressive if they make noise."

"Maybe he'll manage to stay in the boys' half?"

"...okay, that sounds like wishful thinking even to me."

"At least it won't be boring!" she grins. Apparently she at least somewhat means this and isn't just spouting platitudes.

"...you could probably have him build a robot or some shite that ambushes you when you least expect it."

"If you really want to... fight off boredom."

"Hmm, it'd be interesting to see if he could." she says, but surely not actually considering it, right?

"You'd have to make sure it only goes after someone with seven limbs."

"Does that really count as a limb?" she asks, looking over her shoulder and doing a half-spin to look at her own tail.

"No, no, I mean that whatever he builds it's probably not going to be that smart at first."

"Ah but you assume it's some kinda robot and not just a dastardly trap."

"I think it qualifies as a robot if it starts hunting you across campus."

"I dunno. No, I don't think so..." she says, thinking back to hand-to-hand training with Onyx. "I think I just don't notice these things until they punch me in the face."

"Well I guess it doesn't have to be flirting flirting, but everyone likes to feel like they're appreciated and their powers aren't rubbish."
