"If you believe in file-and-forget," she retorted. "Useful, well, that depends on her mood. People really don't get how dangerous it can be when something normally inanimate is mad at you."

"Some things? It's much safer to keep out of people's hands." Like the stuff he drags in here. Nasty work every bit of it. "Angry? Like the time the Sanctum got pissed that Wong was gone and locked me out in retaliation?"

"You're making me glad my brother isn't around. He's a physicist, and it annoys him to no end that he doesn't get to study the Artifacts. I've told him time and again that twelve years in a dimension bubble is enough study to last a lifetime," Claudia said, rolling her eyes. "More like she'll be sending all the energy discharges from the suppression system your way. And she seems to know exactly how much electricity it takes to do maximum damage without lasting effects.
