[okay so his first instinct is to absolutely lose his goddamn mind at seeing the scamp around, but archie manages to suppress it when he catches the pleading look. doesn't look good on her, he hates it that the people are suffocating her. seems like paps are idiots in every universe.

archie isn't the tallest guy around, but he's certainly one of the strongest. he shoves through the crowd with relative ease.]

Oi! You wanna keep crowding around the scamp or are am I gonna have to kick all your as-- [no don't swear in front of her] --butts from here to the moon?!

[he flashes his Aqua Leader™ grin at may, then quickly picks her up and places her onto his shoulders.]

Hup!
