No Capes by joecool123

Blurb: "Why wear a mask?" I whispered as my fingers brushed the satin garment that revealed only his enigmatic eyes.

"No one can find out my real identity," He replied, his gaze pouring into mine, "Anyone could be behind this mask.  Besides, it keeps me safe."

I held my breath, realizing just what could happen if he left the city.  How that would change everything.  "Okay," I continued, letting the cool drizzle of the nighttime air soak my skin, "I suppose that's pretty standard... but why not wear a cape?  Don't superheroes usually wear capes?"

He cracked a boyish grin and took a step away from me, like he'd suddenly inherited a windfall of energy.  "Nah.  Not unless they want a death wish.  Capes are hazardous for your health, Madeline."  He looked me directly in the eyes, and I suspected he was about to divulge his best advice so far.  "No capes."


A/N: 5 out of 5 stars.  I just recently finished reading this book, and it was just so marvelously mysterious that I couldn't put it down to the point where I finally fell asleep only to have dreams about superheroes and having powers of my own...Don't we all wish our world was as amazing as fictional creations?  If only.  Anywho, HIGHLY recommended.
