I Seek Capes
"If there was one thing you'd give up in this world for the sake of gaining something else. What would it be?" she carefully asks, her lips formed in a thin line and her eyebrows pinching.
I let out a sigh and dangled my legs on the ledge of the rooftops while staring at the city line. My best friend stood behind me and was patient with my response.
The icy midnight air gave a gentle slap on my face: a relaxation and separation from the harsh reality in this world.
It was a moment of contentment and peace.
"I would give up the entirety of London for power. London is too sad." I was joking of course. It was a running joke I'd make and it sounded funny in my head. It never gets old.
She rolled her eyes in a sarcasm equivalent to a dose of toxin enough to kill a baby elephant and let out a chortle, expressing mirth. Things have been getting quite tense and serious lately so I knew a joke wasn't harmful to make.
"Okay, sharp cookie. Now be serious. What will it be?"
I looked away, trying to hide my blush and a slight smile curled on my lips.
"My old life in town in exchange to see superheroes." I know the answer sounded delusional and childish, and yes, it is definitely not right in the head to wish for something that doesn't exist.
"I seek Capes."
