[TLH/SinKid] Superhero

"So, what superpower d'ya think you have, if you had one?"

Liby turned to Lacy, lying on her back and casually throwing a ball into the air and catching it before it hit her face. "Good question. I've never really thought about it."

"I think I'd have super-speed. Or strength. Or flight, flight would be cool." Toss.

"Yeah, but there's a lot more you could have."

"True, but I did say what you'd get, not what you'd want." Catch.

Lupa sighed. "It's not like we're gonna get these anyway, so what's the difference?"

"Stop reading too much into it, Lu." Lacy replied with an amused tone in her voice. "So what do you think you'd have, Liby?"

"Me?" Liby raised an eyebrow. "I dunno, really. I'd like TK or teleportation, but honestly I'd probably just end up with something barely-usable in most situations."

"You seem like a kinda... teleport-y girl. Or invisibility. Or super-smarts."

"God help us if she ends up with all of them, we'd never get any privacy ever again." Lupa chuckled to herself.

"Ha ha, Lupa, you're a real comedian." Liby replied, turning back to her book.

"At least one of us is one."

"Ouch, harsh." Liby said, sarcastically.

"So what power would you have, Lupa?" Lacy asked.

"Iunno, maybe the ability to project light or something." Lupa replied

This gave Lacy pause, and Liby too though Lupa couldn't exactly hear her do so, her eyes not lifting off the sketchbook she was doodling in. "Really?"

"I thought you'd go with some kind of shadow-manipulating ability or a 'nothing personnel' teleportation-slash-instant transmission thing."

"Nah, that'd be too obvious. Why not give me the power that's the least fitting? That way it gets interesting."

"Actually, I can kinda see that, what with the white and yellow." Lacy responded.

"Fuck you, Lace, don't make my subversion less subversion-y."

Lacy giggled. "Haha, sorry Lu."

"Well, I for one think that's a rather good power. So much potential, especially if you bend the definition of 'light' until it shatters, or in this case becomes a giant frag-off laser beam."

"Hell yeah, a laser beam would be sick." Lupa grinned, already flipping the page of her sketchbook over to doodle her superhero persona.

"You gonna draw it?" Lacy asked, bouncing up from the floor to peer over her shoulder.

Lupa nudged her elbow into her chest as a gesture to give her some space, which she did. "Yeah."

"Can you draw one for me please?"

"Maybe, if I get any ideas."

"Yay!" Lacy started to ramble on about her superhero persona, but in truth Lupa was only half-listening, already lost to her drawing project.
