Thank you again for inviting me this afternoon.&#8221; Silver-gloved hands cut sharply throught the air, wielded by blue-clad arms. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t think an Ascendant could&#8217;ve survived that big an explosion at the end, let alone a normal citizen, but the way he did it \u2026brilliant! Movie magic at its finest.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red-and-silver limbs wrapped around the nearest blue arm, hanging &#8211; literally &#8211; on his every word. A femaile voice cooed, &#8220;Oh, I don&#8217;t know; I think you&#8217;d have come out of it without a scratch.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man&#8217;s tanned mouth curved up in a wry smile below his blue-and-silver mask. &#8220;I may be a working Ascendant, a living, breathing superhero\u2026but I&#8217;m no stunt-double. Those guys are tough. Besides, even if I did survive, the conflagration would&#8217;ve burned up my costume. I wouldn&#8217;t be able to show my face afterwards, for fear of being recognized!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Believe me, if your costume burned off\u2026who said we&#8217;d be loing at your face?&#8221; Laughter accompanied her words, as did the hint of a blush. Across the table, a body in orange-and-silver snorted with amusement, while the others around the briefing table smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrie tried not to be sullen, but it was very difficult. She crossed her spandex-covered arms more tightly across her violet-and-silver chest. The only good thing about the rest of her night was that she wouldn&#8217;t have to see the two lovebirds seated to her left interacting any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#top\">Back to the top.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From The Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance &#8220;Man, that was a great movie!
