"Guess you've learned stealth finally in superhero school." Grinned at him and came over to give him a hug. I had my gloves on and even if he did get a tiny jolt he used to like it.
"Where've you been?" I asked him as he looked a little dazed. "Hey you wanna take a drive to Santa Barbara with me? The windows are tinted so you won't have to worry about getting a case of the crispies. I gotta meet a client in about an hour. We can talk along the way."
