This was a challenge that orginally started when I read Maddy Bellows 'Shuffle' so I decided to give it a go and see what I came up with. Thanks Maddy for the inspiration!

Superhero – Stephen Lynch

“You wish you were a superhero.” Flack stated shoving me as we sat in the back of Stella’s car as she drove us towards the scene.

“Na ha.” I replied shoving him back.

“Uh huh” Flack disagreed, using his arm to push me away form him.

Stella rolled her eyes in the review mirror.

“Grow up.” She stated as we pulled to up in front of the scene. Stepping out the car I stared up at the building in front of me.

“Oh you are kidding me.” I groaned.

Flack followed my gaze as Stella glanced up.

“Oh hell no!” he exclaimed, shaking his head.

“I can’t believe someone killed Batman!” I returned staring up at the body skewered on the railing in front of us.

“Have you guys even looked beyond that?” Stella asked pointing at the open door way that opened up into the giant hall.

“What the hell?” Flack cursed as my jaw dropped.

There were literally hundreds of superheroes staring back at us. I swear I could see at least three Green Arrows and a hell of a lot of Superman.

“Tell me I’m not tripping out on the candy you gave me to eat on the way here.” I stated, glancing at Flack whose eyes were on Wonder woman as she passed by.

I smacked his arm. He jumped, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

“Come on it’s not everyday you see Wonder woman walking around.” He responded trying to look cute.

“Yea I find it highly amused that overweight Cat woman didn’t seem to attract you.” Flack followed my gaze and winced.

“That should not be wearing tight PVC, besides I’ve always had a thing for Wonder woman.

“Really?” I asked.

“Why you planning to play dress up for me?”
