   "Haha,  yeah—"  he would have to accept that her life was slightly insane,  because he'd never fought ninjas before so he would just nod with a stupid smile on his face.  Although,  he imagined she was just kidding,  so he thought it was okay to laugh.  He was trying to pretend he wasn't stressed as hell in that moment,  because he was good at that.  "Is there anything I can do to help??  I'm—  I'm free.  Available.  By which I mean—  uh,  there's nothing on my calendar right now.  Obviously."

She lowered her eyebrows (even more). Confused, sure, but she decided not to comment on anything else. People talked to themselves out loud, didn't they? Well, she didn't. But many others did. Perhaps she was mistaken to think there was someone else there, indeed. Good, she trusted Dex enough to be relaxed in his presence. He had helped her before, when she had no one else to count on but herself... but she wouldn't be so quick to put her guard down if there was anyone else there. "Yeah, thanks. Just catching my breath. There's a limit one can take of fighting ninjas for a day, am I right?" she attempted a little joke, though she didn't really smile at that.
            
            
            // <333 absolutely, thank *YOU*, my dearest xx

   "What?  No!  Haha,  no,  I wasn't—  I didn't say anything.  Not out loud.  Not that you'd hear it if it was in my head,  anyway...  Sorry."  He had such lousy luck,  he was realising,  as his mom found it quite easy to scuttle off and laugh to herself.  "Uh—  are you okay?  Can I help you with something?"

"'Aggressively purple' is bound to be my favourite description, like, *ever*," the young archer said with a laugh, patting his shoulder as way to let him know he didn't need to aim for 'forgiveness' for a tease, she loved joking around! "I... I'm not so sure about that, but I definitely love the the optimism and appreciate the hype, so let's go!" she said it all very quickly and with a cheerful tone that almost made it hard to understand her words, raising a fist in the air like in a victory motion.

   "Of course,  you're my aggressively purple friend!  You're always on my mind!"  Dexter offered in an explanation to aim for forgiveness after his teasing comment.  Friendly banter,  after all!  It was totally fair.  "Yeah,  okay,  this is good.  We're gonna make the best pasta you've ever had in your entire life!"

"Aw," she placed a hand over her chest dramatically. "I'm touched you thought of me!" the young archer laughed then, bumping her shoulder against his carefully. "No way? Really?! Well, then -- I think we'll do just fine, then. I've never had more than two fires in the same try," she countered jokingly, tilting her head slightly to watch him. A wide smile on her face. "What are your thoughts on this one?" she pointed at the recipe on the book. "It includes pasta. Pasta is usually easier, isn't it?"

"Right? Thank you!" after all, Batman had no super powers, just like her. Besides, you never saw her and Batman in the same place, so she could totally be Batman! Joking aside, it was always the well-trained heroes that she admired, and not the ones with super powers (no offense to them). That explained why she was so madly in love with Hawkeye and Black Widow (platonically, of course). "Ah, it was quick -- I threatened them both with bombs... easy! Not real ones, it was all done in their crazy, mime ways. Although I might've made them believe I had actual explosives -- maybe."

   "You are so Batman."  He nodded enthusiastically —  because Batman was pretty cool,  and so was she,  so he made the connection there.  Besides,  she knew herself better than anyone else did,  so if she saw more similarities with Batman he was 100% on her side!  "How long did it take for you to get them to break it up?"  He imagined it would take him quite a lot of loud begging for them to stop,  but maybe she had smarter methods.  Or maybe even quicker ones.  There was a method to her madness,  he could tell,  and he personally was a huge fan!

She was interested in hearing from him too, though! Actually, Anna 'envied' his composed and calm nature. He looked like such a cool guy in her eyes, like a Yoda of sorts, she almost hoped he would teach her his ways so she would stay out of trouble. She was too afraid of asking him, though, because she didn't think she was ready to put her life in order. She was born and raised within the *chaos* that imagining an organized life sounded only like a distant dream. "Oh, they did. If I understood it right, they called me Supergirl. And I'm so freaking offended, because I'm much more of a Batman! ...Anyways, when I arrived, it was already a mix of both! Sometimes they pretended getting hit, sometimes they pretended to dodge it. Let me tell you, it's something that'll be forever carved in my brain."
