I HOPE not.

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

You have superfolks?

[8-by-10.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my dad. Who are you? Are you a super person with a kid?

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

I'm Jack-In-The-Box, and I'll be a father in about eight months. Does your pop have powers or is he just a costumed hero?

[8-by-10.livejournal.com]

He has a watch that lets him turn into different aliens. He doesn't really wear a costume, it's more a uniform.

Jack-in-the-Box sounds like a villain name.

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a pretty neat tool. Wouldn't mind one of those myself.

What? It's a child's toy! If I was a villain I'd pick something scarier.

[8-by-10.livejournal.com]

There are only 2 of them. My dad and my brother's.

You ever hear of the Joker? AND I've eaten at Jack in the Box; their food is pretty scary.

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

Don't you worry that your dad gets into danger all the time?

Pft, he's a comic book villain! Real life villains have names like The Deacon or Demolitia or Slamburger.

[8-by-10.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Of COURSE.

Real villains just have normal names.

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

Would you rather he had a normal job? Is he kept busy for long hours?

The Deacon is his normal name. And trust me, he's every bit as scary as the Joker.

[8-by-10.livejournal.com]

MIKE is a normal name. (And we got a bad guy named that)

No? I don't think so. My dad's ALWAYS been a superhero, my whole life. I don't know what it'd be like if we were normal.

He's busy alot. Gets called away alot. But he tries really hard to not miss stuff.

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

I don't want to upset you, but what if one day he doesn't come back? Could you forgive him for that?

[8-by-10.livejournal.com]

S'kay.

Yeah. He'll come back if he can. I knowed people who died before. It wasn't their fault they died.

*pauses*

Wanna know a secret?

[alloy-avenger.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily tragedy...

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

Then what?

[alloy-avenger.livejournal.com]

But certainly adventure.

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

I don't exactly plan on pushing the pram around whilst on patrol.

[alloy-avenger.livejournal.com]

Who does?

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

I don't know, Basteroid? He seems like the sort who would.

[alloy-avenger.livejournal.com]

Who the hell are you, anyway?

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?

[alloy-avenger.livejournal.com]

There's only one Cyborg Superman.

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

You're the Million Dollar Man? Neat!

[alloy-avenger.livejournal.com]

Don't go starting shit.

[tasernose.livejournal.com]

Whoa there, big guy. I'm serious, I loved that show!
