Flash looked up, hearing a voice much younger than what he was expecting. She was his age with freckles and red hair. She seemed normal, cool. And, she was pretty. Shit! With Venom chuckling in his ear, Flash quickly cleared his head (that was never a challenge) and he gave her a dopey grin. "Hey, yeah I was hoping for a parade." He held his hand out for a handshake and then pat the spot next to him on the fountain.
"It's weird, not having big buildings. You know? Maybe it's different cause you're used to the mansion. But, I feel antsy." He looked up, noting that the skyline could be scaled without any superpowers. Flash turned to her and fished out a protein bar from his pocket.
"Let's share it, huh? The food here seems scarce." He showed it to her. It was peanut butter flavored, but looked like it probably tasted like a plastic brick. "Can you mind trick yourself? Can it work that way?" Flash was interested. He loved hearing about powers, abilities. Supers.
