[It brings back memories for her too. She remembers how they moved her bed and a few knick knacks back here. She thinks back on how terrified she felt. It doesn't even seem like her now that she looks back at it. She never pictured herself as someone who would beg to be allowed to stay in a strange place with men she didn't know. She never saw herself as someone who cried in a corner until a pretty superhero came to rescue her from her sadness.

That's what losing her family, home, and security did to her. When she thinks on how easily she could have been hurt during such a vulnerable time by the adults around her, well, is it any surprise she's trying so hard to help him now? He was the hero back then. She wants to be one now too even if she isn't sure how.

She supposes it's enough to put him next to his partner. That's what they are for, right? Kamala nods in response and without warning goes in for a hug before she leaves. It's the best she has to offer. She wants to be a hero, but she's out of her depth. At least he can know that she cares even if she can't fix whatever happened.

She pulls back just as quickly to offer him a cheerful wave as she leaves. The dishes will be cleaned and put away whenever he gets the chance to notice. They'll see each other when the dust from the battle Kamala doesn't quite see just yet settles.]
