\u201cThis is so 1800s,\u201d says Jane, picking up the cat and cuddling him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just because you\u2019re a girl,\u201d Tom patronizes. \u201cIt\u2019s just, there are things that you can\u2019t understand without actually <\/i>being a world-ending threat. Plus, we don\u2019t want to spend all our Doom Team meetings discussing makeup and clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnless,\u201d starts Linus.<\/p>\n
\u201cZip it,\u201d Tom says.<\/p>\n
Linus gives Jane an apologetic grin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich is not to say,\u201d clarifies Edmund, \u201cthat we think that girl stuff is inherently boring, so much as that it\u2019s a narrow <\/i>interest.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever,\u201d says Jane.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could be our renegade alchemist,\u201d offers Tom.<\/p>\n
Jane looks at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, that\u2019s a girl\u2019s spot,\u201d Tom says, \u201cbut it\u2019s still aces for fighting science villains. They\u2019ll never expect a spot of sudden alchemy!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOr you could keep the minutes!\u201d says Linus.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s very excited about the possibility of having someone else to keep the minutes, particularly since there is a strict \u201cno recording the minutes of Doom Team meetings as gothic poetry\u201d rule.<\/p>\n
Jane pulls a face \u2014 hers, I mean, not Linus\u2019 \u2014 and Linus\u2019 own face falls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
