Superhero Small Talk #1

by

Batman and Superman are crouched on a rooftop in Metropolis on the cusp of a pitched battle with all their sworn enemies.

"So, how're things in Gotham?" Superman asked.

"The usual," Batman said in a gruff voice. "Corrupt politicians, cops on the take, psychotic madmen running wild. Nothing I can't handle. How's Lois?"

Superman looked down, "She's kind of sore at me."

"How come?"

He shrugged, "I was supposed to cook dinner when she was out on assignment, forgot until the last minute and tried to preheat the oven with my x-ray vision and I melted the damned thing."

    With apologies to Neville for partially nicking the title of one of his series. "Superhero Chit Chat" just didn't sound right for what I was going for.

    I always wondered what superheroes talked about in those kind of moments.

    No worries, Christopher, words are words. A good chuckle! You have to be very careful with your X-ray vision around the house.
