She shakes his hand. It's an awkward angle, given that he's upside down, but North's done stranger things to people in stranger positions.

"North," she says. "Trans-dimensional portal? I'd call that science fiction, but you're standing on the ceiling and I've seen you shoot webs. So... I'm just going to accept that despite any actual evidence."

She could offer him a place to stay. Markus and Josh would both be thrilled, if for slightly different reasons, to see her taking a step toward peace with humans. Simon would be horrified at the security risk.

But three out of four. They'd overrule him.
