Riley's POV:

The walk to the nearest restaurant was quiet, however, halfway there Charlie got tired and decided to use my leg as a ride.

He was so tired he made Hailey carry Roger for him.

"Why do you do that?" I asked as I bent down to pick him up.

I wasn't about to drag him across a dirty sidewalk.

"Cause I'm tired," Charlie said as he wrapped his small arms around my neck.

"Good explanation," I said as I continued walking.

Hailey couldn't help but chuckle as she stared at us.

"I've never seen Charlie get that close to anyone," Hailey said.

Biting my bottom lip, I was readying myself to speak when a phone went off. I was about to reach in my back pocket for my phone but then I realized it wasn't my ring tone.

"Sorry, that's mine," Hailey said as she pulled out her phone.

"It's fine," I said.

Moving ahead of us a bit, Hailey answered the phone and began to speak.

"So Charlie, what's your favorite hero?" I asked.

"Nightwing!" He exclaimed.

"Nightwing?" I asked as I stared at him.

"Yep," Charlie said as he hugged me tighter.

"Who the heck was that?" I thought to myself.

"Well, I like Korra." I mumbled.

"Why?"

"Cause she can fly," I responded as my eyes drafted to Hailey.

She looked a bit perplexed but it made her look so adorable.

"I wanna fly!" Charli exclaimed causing Hailey to look at us.

"I don't think you can handle it," I said looking back at him.

"Yes, I can!"

"Well, ok," I said.

I didn't know exactly how to make him fly so I did the next place thing.

I stopped walking and bent down, telling Charlie to stand for a minute.

I told Charlie he needed to stay still and not move too much since I didn't want him to fall. I then told him to climb on my back.

Once he did as he was told, I stood up.

"This isn't flying," Charlie mumbled.

"Just wait," I said.

Grabbing him around his wrist, I pulled him up and told him to quickly straightened his back.

The kid wasn't light that's for sure.

I then placed his stomach on my head and he began giggling.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yes!"

Passing Hailey as I sped walked slowly in front, Charlie's voice echoed through the street. I was currently holding a few inches above my head. I had to readjust my hold on Charlie, but once I felt comfortable with my hold, I moved him up and down as if he was a dumbbell.

"Be careful you two!" Hailey yelled.

"We're superhero we don't have to be," I told her as I turned around to face her.

She was still on the phone and for some odd reason, I was annoyed. I wanted her to talk to us.

"Who you talking too?" I asked.
