Or, if I’m not wearing the costume or the helmet and am very, very naked, you can call me whatever you want.”
Sorry. You know how it is. I have thoughts and then those thoughts have thoughts.”
“Let me at him,” he whispered. “Come on, what do you say? I wanna peel the skin from his bones and see what kind of sounds he makes.” “Wow,” Guardian said. “That was a little dark, even for me. Maybe dial it back a bit? You sound psychotic.”
“Running stairs will get you in fighting shape. Just don’t ask me to do it with you because my knees are shot to hell and I don’t want to.”
“You’re welcome. Now, if you’ll pardon me, I have a party to attend where I will most likely accidentally tell everyone what I’ve witnessed. I hope you didn’t expect me to keep this a secret. I have ADHD, so I tend to hyperfocus on things that confuse me. And this is very, very confusing.” “You can’t use that as an excuse—” “That’s ableist, and I won’t stand for it. Of course I can.”
“Let’s not and say we did,” Dad said.
“Please tell me you didn’t read all of it. Because if you did, I need to figure out a defense for my depravity.”
“Question. Can you be my breakfast? Fair warning: peanut butter might still be involved.” He was a foodie, after all.
I feel bad for the heteros. They wanted us to run from them, and so we did, and now we evolved to be much quicker than they are. They really don’t get anything aside from having all the rights they could ever ask for.”
“The audacity. Trying to relate to people as if she’s not ten lizards wearing human skin.”
“He’s threatening an old woman!” someone cried. “She,” someone else corrected him. “Just because we despise them doesn’t mean we can’t respect their pronouns. Don’t be a dick, Ernie. It’s not a good look.” “Sorry. Sorry, everyone! I got caught up in the heat of the moment, but that’s no excuse. I will take what I’ve learned today and try to be a better person. She’s threatening an old woman! Get them!”
“The stuff that was made for anuses is in every place but my anus!” “The what is where?”
“Enema kits,” Seth repeated dubiously, taking a step back toward the window. “Oh no. I just realized that a supervillain is destroying Nova City and I need to go save everyone. What terrible timing. I’ll—” “Don’t leave me,” Nick pleaded, rubbing his eyes furiously, blinking against the burn. “My father is holding me captive and I demand that you save me!”
And if he tries anything, feel free to call us. Especially if you see shadows start to move.” “I have pepper spray, access to multiple marsupials, and snacks,”
“What are we gonna do about it?” “Kick names and take ass,” he growled dangerously. Then, “Wait, shit. I screwed that up. Let me—”
“Which, you know. What in the absolute hell is wrong with you?” “So many things,” Dad said.
“How many people are listening to this?” “Just me,” Nick said. “But also Seth. And Jazz. And Gibby.”
Fair warning: Jazz wants to handle the decorating once they finish. She says she hopes we like frilly pillows.” Dad sighed. “It’s not like we can tell her no. I don’t want to get stabbed with a fork.”
Suffice to say, Nick was not a fan. Or was he? Nick did love burritos, and if Burrito Jerry got them for life, then wouldn’t that mean Nick could partake?
