Chapter 68: It's The Same As Having Wings

To heck with the Avengers! Suck it Justice League!

Peter knelt nose-to-nose with his son. "Hey Pete! You wanna see my super power?"

Michaleen did! He did! Oh yes, yes, yes he did!

"Allllright!" Peter leapt up. Now was his chance! Wendy had disappeared (undoubtedly to pursue Gwendolyn), so the coast was clear! Time to fly!

Before they had left King Arthur, the guardians (MINUS PETER) had decided to keep their powers concealed from their children. Everyone (again MINUS PETER) decided it was better to wait until they were fully reacquainted.

Peter saw no reason to hide their powers. 

Their kids were already going to be surprised by their sudden appearance, right? And they wanted their kids to like them, right? Peter reasoned that they might as well shock the snot out of them and become the coolest parents in the universe at the same!

It was a win-win situation. And Peter knew Wendy would agree (once she left him unattended long enough to spill the beans).

"My super power is like none other! It's the best in all the world!" Peter crouched. "But – I can't do it alone! I need a wingman! Do you think you could help me, Pete?"

"Yes!" Michaleen clambered to his feet. "Let me hewlp Daddy! Let me help!"

The party guests drifted into the living room, smiling at the little boy's ignorance. Nearly everyone knew what Peter was about to do and how Michaleen was going to react. It was going to be priceless. Time  to get front row seats. 

Peter waited for his audience. When everyone had settled, he beckoned to Michaleen.

"Okay Pete..." Peter placed both hands on his knees. "Are you ready to turn on my super power?"

Michaleen tingled with excitement. "What power do you have?"

"What power do you think I have?"

Michaleen pointed to Peter's ears. "Super hearing?"

"Ha!" Peter laughed. "Good guess! But nope!"

"Super strength like Hulk?"

"Nope!"

"A super suite like Iron Man?"

"Nope!"

"Super senses like Spiderman?"

"Nope!"

"Super speed like Gwen?"

"Awww!" Peter nipped Michaleen's nose. How cute! Michaleen thought his big sister was a superhero! That was adorable! He had such good kids. Obviously they got it from him.

"Nope!" Peter answered, "But another good guess! Try again! What super power do you think I have?"

"Um um um!" Michaleen flung back his arms. "Flying? Like Superman?"

"Flying?" Peter arched a hand overhead. "Wowwwwww! Flying would be pretty amazing wouldn't it?"

Peter winked at Michaleen. "Do you wish I could fly Pete?"

Michaleen's eyes widened. He started connecting the dots. "Yes!"

"How much?"
