She felt like she was running on air, in another dimension. These new senses made Brooklyn's vision more clear more calm, more energized, and she felt powerful. It all really just put her in a panic, mainly for the reason that she had no idea what she was capable of or what she planned to do when she found her friends. All she knew is that she needed to find them.
Brooklyn entered the Ahkmenrah's parents' exhibit. Merenkahre and Shepseheret were standing together, talking intensely to each other as the newly dubbed demigoddess approached them, panting.
"Larry… and Ahkmenrah…where?" Brooklyn attempted to catch her breath.
Merenkahre and Shepseheret raised their eyebrows at the demigoddess.
"Seshat?" Shepseheret narrowed her eyes curiously. "This is your new form? Rather odd, don't you think?"
"No," Brooklyn breathed deeply then began to talk very fast, impatient. "Brooklyn, new-magician-vampire-demigoddess or some shit. Nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Pharaoh, wish it were better circumstances, not really, but I'm in a really hurry to save your son and his friends at the moment so if you could point me in the right the direction with your decorative staff that'd be fantastic."
The pair stared at the girl with wide, surprised, eyes then silently pointed to the right simultaneously.
"Thank you." Brooklyn bowed curtly then shot off like a bullet. The two royals were left dumbfounded.
As Brooklyn rounded the corner she came to an abrupt stop to find Larry watching Lancelot run off with the tablet.
And Larry's friends were freaking the fuck out.
"I have a break down for five minutes and the whole world starts to melt down?" Brooklyn stated as she walked up to Larry. "I really am a demigoddess."
Larry whirled around, a joyful glimpse in his eyes when he saw the girl, then one of utter confusion. "Your eyes are gold."
"Yes." Brooklyn said plainly as she conjured up a lie. "My eyes look that color…in the moonlight."
Suddenly, Ahkmenrah went limp in front of Brooklyn. Brooklyn was surprised by the sudden weight on her and leaned backwards as she grasped the body. "Oof! Oh, okay, surprise trust fall."
"We need to go after Lancelot." Larry explained. "He thinks the tablet is the Holy Grail."
"Ah ha!" Brooklyn burst. "I knew he was crazy! Nobody that hot could be sane."
Nick and Larry just stared at Brooklyn as she grinned mischievously.
"Why you gotta make situations like this awkward, She-Hulk?"
"Ah!" Brooklyn's golden eyes sparkled excitedly. "Polly Pocket and Playmobil! You're alive…and you smell like pee!...I don't really want to know why that is, but it's good to see you."
"Hey, Bella Swan, if you're done with introductions, we gotta go get a tablet, if that's okay with you." Nick piped up sarcastically.
"Ooo." Brooklyn narrowed her eyes and a challenging grin on her face. "I like you mini-Night Guard…Well what are you waiting for? Go after the knight in plastic armor!" Brooklyn finally broke the silence. "I'll take care of Pharaoh of the Undead."
"Pretty sure that's Anubis, but-I get what you mean, alright," Larry waved her off. He gathered the remaining of the group and they parted ways.
That is, until Tilly appeared at the entrance with a hammer to Laa's head.
Brooklyn carefully placed Ahkmenrah's limp body on the ground and scurried over to Tilly.
"Tilly, heyy." Brooklyn held her hands up innocently. "Put the hammer away, will ya?"
"What the hell is going on here?" Tilly pointed the hammer in Larry's direction. "Do these crazies have you captive, Brook? You people let my friend go!"
Brooklyn moved closer to Tilly, her hands still close to her face.
"Hey, Tilly?" Brooklyn whispered as she got to Tilly's side.
"Don't worry, girl." Tilly winked enthusiastically. "I got your back."
In one swift movement Brooklyn unarmed Tilly and placed one hand on her shoulder and one on her forehead.
Brooklyn's golden eyes began to glow as she spoke one word. "Sleep."
Tilly instantly passed out on the floor. As Brooklyn turned around she met the eyes of very shocked people.
"What the hell was that?" Larry burst.
"Uh," Brooklyn fidgeted. "Super ninja pinch hold thing."
"I believe her." Nick smiled goofily at his father. Larry rolled his eyes, not in the mood to press further, and pulled the group down the street to go after Lancelot.
Brooklyn ran back into the building after instruction Laa to put Tilly back in the security box. She ran back to Ahkmenrah's side and pulled his head to her lap, her fingers resting on his temples.
She watched as her fingertips glowed. She honestly had no idea what she was doing, she was just thinking of a way to restore Ahkmenrah's energy. To make sure he stayed alive.
The pharaoh moaned in pain as his eyes fluttered open. Brooklyn smiled down at Ahkmenrah.
"Morning, you sassy minx." She teased jokingly. "Have a nice nap?"
Ahkmenrah stared hypnotically into Brooklyn's eyes. She tried not to notice him staring, but he just had a look on his face like he'd seen a miracle for the first time.
"You know it's not polite to stare, doe eyes." Brooklyn laughed and helped Ahkmenrah in sitting up. "Even though I am gorgeous." She joked.
"That doesn't even begin to describe you…" Ahkmenrah murmured.
Brooklyn, too distracted by all of her new senses, barely heard what the pharaoh had muttered. "What?"
"What did you do?" Ahkmenrah demanded as he stared into her eyes. "Your eyes were hazel."
"My eyes change color in the moonlight." Brooklyn shrugged. "Come on, we need to go get your tablet from a crazy man in metal underpants."
She stood up and held her hand out to the pharaoh.
Ahkmenrah pressed his lips in a straight line. He wanted to believe it what he was looking at wasn't true, but he needed his tablet. Except…now he was thinking he needed her more than the tablet.
Ahkmenrah took his hand in Brooklyn's and she pulled his to his feet. He didn't release her hand for a moment; he just stared at her, his heart racing.
"Gorgeous." He murmured.
A corner of Brooklyn's mouth turned up in a teasing grin. "What?"
"Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe you." Ahkmenrah said as he released her hand. Brooklyn's teasing grin soon disappeared after realizing how serious he was being. He leaned forward and kissed the corner of her mouth. He pulled away and began walking out of the museum.
"Uh," Brooklyn blinked as she stood there. "Um…huh."
Ahkmenrah turned around as he walked, a mischievous smirk on his face.
"Did I leave you speechless, love?" the pharaoh teased.
Brooklyn, quick to regain her composure, returned the grin and raced after him.
"Last one to get to Sir Crazy-Ass loses!" she challenged.
