I just came from Bunker Hill,’ I told Sam. ��?Hel offered me a reunion with my mother.’I managed to tell her the story.Samirah reached out as if to touch my arm, then apparently changed her mind. ��?I’m so sorry, Magnus. But Hel lies. You can’t trust her. She’s just like my father, only colder. You made the right choice.’��?Yeah … still. You ever do the right thing, and you know it’s the right thing, but it leaves you feeling horrible?’��?You’ve just described most days of my life.’ Sam pulled up her hood. ��?When I became a Valkyrie … I’m still not sure why I fought that frost giant. The kids at Malcolm X were terrible to me. The usual garbage: they asked me if I was a terrorist. They yanked off my hijab. They slipped disgusting notes and pictures into my locker. When that giant attacked … I could’ve pretended to be just another mortal and got myself to safety. But I didn’t even think about running away. Why did I risk my life for those kids?’I smiled.��?What?’ she demanded.��?Somebody once told me that a hero’s bravery has to be unplanned – a genuine response to a crisis. It has to come from the heart, without any thought of reward.’Sam huffed. ��?That somebody sounds pretty smug.’��?Maybe you didn’t need to come here,’ I decided. ��?Maybe I did. To understand why we’re a good team.
