Jouska ~ A hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head

I was on my way to pick Peter up from school when I saw a couple of kids shoving him around. His books and bags were sprawled out on the floor. He had a black eye and through the window I could hear some kid calling him "Penis Parker".

Poor kid was being bullied.

I open the glove compartment and grab my favorite dagger. Yes, I have a favorite dagger, what about it?

I sigh and get out of the car.

I should have stretched.

"Hey Peter!" I call out, spinning the dagger in my hands, "You okay?"

His cheeks flush red when he notices I saw him being bullied, "No, I-I'm good."

I tilt my head slightly, walking towards the group of boys, "You sure?"

One of the boys wolf whistled, "Hey hottie, who are you? Penis Parker's babysitter? You think you could babysit me a couple times?"

The other kids give him handshakes, "Nice one Flash!"

I start walking up to them, but Peter immediately stops me, "You can't kill them."

He takes the dagger from my hands and I glare at him for a second, "Fine."

I push Flash against the wall, choking him, "What did you say earlier, kid?"

The other boys ran away while Flash choked, "N-Nothing."

"You're gonna leave Peter alone, got it? I see you bullying him one more time and I will take the knife Peter took from me and I will shove it up your ass. Do you understand me?" I press my arm against his throat, but still controlling the strength given to me by the super serum.

Flash whimpers, "Y-Yes."

I smile, letting him go, "Good."

Flash scurries back into the school building like a little mouse.

High school boys are such pussies.

I pat Peter's back, leading him to the car, "Let me know if those boys are troubling you again."

"Thanks Thea. Also, is it okay if you drop me and my friend Ned off to the library?" he asks me.

"Sure kid. Does he know about your secret?" I ask him.

"Yeah."

Peter texts Ned and, in a few minutes, a guy comes in the car, holding a huge Star Wars Lego box.

I start to drive to the library and we talk for a while. At one point, I accidentally revealed that I never watched Star Wars and now Peter and Ned were yelling and annoying me.

"HOW HAVE YOU NEVER WATCHED STAR WARS?" Ned yells.

I sigh in annoyance and point at the McDonalds, "Do you guys want some?"

They immediately stop yelling at me about Star Wars and started telling me their orders.

I go into the drive-thru and look back at the two boys, who were jumping up and down excitedly in their seats, like little puppies.
