I'm going home. [She couldn't sound happier about it. Kamala is practically glowing from the high of being so close to her goal.] I am also going to rescue the Marvel who still needs a codename on the way back. Maybe start my own version of the Avengers too! America, remember you are going to be my first recruit!

[She takes a breath and grows a little more somber.] This time I am not going to forget you guys. That's the best part of this for me. I know things haven't always been perfect. Actually sometimes they really sucked. I really love you guys. You saw me. You didn't roll your eyes and tell me to fend for myself. You had my back. I really hope I had yours. Now I'll never forget you. I'm so happy I won't.

[Her eyes well up with tears. She's still smiling.] You're welcome to come with me. My world isn't perfect. Actually it kind of almost ends a lot, but a lot of great people step up to save it. One day maybe I'll be one of them too. I promise I'll protect you. My family will help you get set up there. We're actually pretty good at taking people in when they need to start over. Think about it, okay?

Until then, someone help me charge my phone so we can have a dance party or something! We still have time for a good party before I leave! I swear I have the best music on here!

[A tear does shake loose. Kamala laughs wetly.] And... wow this is hard. I guess endings always are. Final thoughts? I hope Cossette finds peace. I hope everyone who got caught up this craziness does. Even if we don't? Remember that I love you. Meeting you will always be one of the best things that ever happened to me. We'll meet again someday. I promise.

[She holds up her fingers to show scout's honor. The feed ends there so she can have a good cry before responding.]

Absolutely! We are not dooming another universe so I can force Five to eat gyros with me or go on a great friend date with you.

[Kamala pauses thoughtfully.] What would we do on our friend date? Other than experiencing the joys of cell phones.

[rumorate]

[She takes a deep breath as she considers.]

Do you guys have movie theaters still? Or does everyone watch movies on their phones?

[cosplayqueen]

We do! [Kamala's eye brighten with joy at the idea of it.] Movie theaters are the best! We could see so many movies, Allison! What are you into? Action? Fantasy?

[rumorate]

All of the above? I actually used to be in them, a long time ago.

[Feels like forever ago, honestly. Sometimes she misses it.]

[cosplayqueen]

That totally tracks! You're so pretty, smart, and have a great personality. You would be a movie star.

[She can't see Allison as a background character unsurprisingly.]

[rumorate]

Yeah, it was fun for a while.

[And then the world ended. So is the story of Allison's life.]

I don't think I'd want to go back, but I will definitely enjoy watching some.

[cosplayqueen]

Aww, I'm sure you could do it again! But, okay we can watch movies together. Do you like musicals? Maybe we can watch the pirated version of the Rogers musical! The songs are so catchy!

[rumorate]

Rogers is the captain, right? The one that's not Carol?

[cosplayqueen]

That's the one! We think he's on the moon now.

[rumorate]

My brother was on the moon for a while. I don't think he loved it.

[Poor Luther was just stuck all alone up there for so long, thanks Dad.]

[cosplayqueen]

Really?! I wonder if he just had bad company. Space is awesome.

[rumorate]

He ... didn't really have any company. It was just him, for over a year at least.

[So yes. While space may be awesome, it's terrible if you're constantly alone.]
