She took it and turned it over. "See the little metal spiral? When you turn the key, it makes it reaaaaally small. But it doesn't want to be small, so it spins itself until it gets bigger, basically. It turns the gears, which are hooked up to little wires, which makes the legs and head move." She handed it back. "Pretty cool, right?" - "I'm sorry," she whispered.

She carried a large satchel similar to Bat’s, but clearly made for books and stuff. “Hey, Ava. How’re you finding our city?” - “Hey, hey. You were a great friend, Irie. My best friend.”

Now you,” he told Irie. “Come on.”
