(Sophia and Gabriella finally enter their home, when Sophia turns on the news)
"Ugh, why do you watch the news? It's always depressing", says Gabby.
"Cuz I like to know what happens around us and not just focus on what our next meal is"
(Sophia looks at Gabriella as she opens the fridge in search of food)
"What's that supposed to mean?", mutters Gabby.
"Nothing!!.."
"BREAKING NEWS: Our very own scarlet speedster has saved the day once again! This time with help of our very own neighboring city's vigilante, The Green Arrow. They teamed up to fight yet another rogue meta human. Here we have footage of the scenes from this great epidemic..."
"Why are you still watching that?"
"Because it's... Never mind. I just want to know who the guy is. I mean if he is saving the day wouldn't he want some sort of recognition?", wondered Sophia.
"No, cuz he has a life that is better than that. It's cool to stay in the shadows and leave people in the dust, literally."
"Come on Gabby, you know that wasn't even funny."
"Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Plus I don't get what all the fuss is. He's just a hero with superpowers, a meta-whata?"
"Maybe but what if...? A meta human Gabby. There's more out there that could harm us. At least we have someone who's good instead of someone seeking revenge."
"You concentrate way to hard on something that is already taken care of, plus it's better to not get involved with those super-humans before we get hurt Sophia, Like the last time. If he ever wanted people to know who he was he wouldn't wear a mask and hide himself from the public. Every good hero knows that, unless your like Wonder Woman or Superman. Besides he wants it to be that way, so be it."
"Meta humans Gabby. Yah, but..."
(Sophia rolls her eyes at Gabriella)
"Sophia, get over it. We are safe and that's all that matters. Let him do his job, he doesn't need people like you getting in the way", Gabby seriously points out.
"What's that supposed to mean!?!?"
"Nothing!... (Gabby sighs). Chicken?"
"Sure why not."
