It's The Right Thing

Chapter || Sixteen

"Hello?"

"If you could be any superhero who would you be?"

"MG, it's like . . . four o'clock in the morning. Why are you up? More importantly, why are you calling me?"

"Because I want to know what superhero you would be and I couldn't wait six more hours for you to wake up."

" . . . . "

"Hello? Runner? RUNNER?!"

"Whaaaaat?"

"Answer my question."

"I'm too tired to *yawn* answer your stupid question. The sun hasn't come up and I don't smell promises of any coffee."

"I will personally send coffee to your apartment if you answer my question."

" . . . . "

"RUNNER?!"

"HUH?! Dammit MG! Let me sleep. I'm hanging up."

"I know you have me on speakerphone. Can you even see your phone to hang up?"

"You hang up then."

"I guess I'll tell you who I would be since you asked . . . I would be Ant-Man. I mean he can become the size of an insect and do anything like fly on an eagle's head or sneak into the White House without a trace. I could shrink in size and get the hell away from Henry."

"Who's Henry?"

"Are you awake now?"

"No, but your voice is irritating me."

"I thought my voice was beautiful?"

"Not when it's talking about Ant-Man in my sleep."

"So you are dreaming about me?"

"I'm hanging up now."

"Did you find your phone yet?"

"Your voice is somewhere near my thigh."

"Are you talking dirty to me, Runner?"

"My hatred for you is growing by the minute."

"Fine, I guess I can stop talking and let you sleep."

"Or you can hang up."

"Wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to say that we slept together."

"Is that what we're doing?"

"Absolutely."

"Whatever. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Honey Bun."

"Don't ever repeat that."

"Stick to Runner?"

"Mm."

"Runner it is . . . Goodnight then Dear Runner."

"You can stop talking now."

"Okay."

" . . . . "

" . . . . "

" . . . ."

" . . . . "

"I would be Dark Phoenix because she has every power. She's strong, she's beautiful, *yawn* she's everything I want to be in one."
