Third Floor Dorm Hallway, Saturday Evening

Stephanie had already decided she had no problem with waking up somewhere that wasn't home; it didn't smell like cigarette smoke, and Dad wasn't around to yell.

Mostly, Dad not being around meant that absolutely no one was going to complain or make her stop when she found a towel, stuck it down the collar of her favoritest shirt ever for a cape, and took off running around the dorms pretending to fly.

"Lookit! Lookit! I'm Sooperman! ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

No one would complain, right?

Right.

"Who's Sooperman?" said a little girl who, as was only right and proper, was taking her dog for a walk.

By riding down the hall on her back.

Little girl.

Big dog.

"I'm Sooperman!" Stephanie declared, striking a muscle pose. "I'm a superhero!"

. . . that wasn't very helpful, Steph.

Leaving aside whether she had a good answer to the question, because she didn't anyway, there were more immediate interests to deal with.

"Big doggie!"

"You don't look like a man," said Cally, not touching the superhero part. Because she had no idea what one was. Unlike a man. "This is Nana. Nana, this is Sooperman!"

"It's just a codename," Stephanie explained Very Seriously. "Hi, Nana! Hi, other person! You don't look like you need saving."

She came by her superhero complex honestly, okay?

"I'm Cally!" Cally who might need saving from slipping off Nana's back, but no, a good quick grip on her collar did the trick. "Saving from what? And what's a code name?"

"You can't be a superhero under your real name," Stephanie explained in what was an extreme oversimplification of the concept, but cut her some slack; she was five. "'cause bad people like my dad who get mad every time you try to stop 'em would come after you if they knew who you really were!"

But Dad wasn't around anywhere, so . . .

"Can you keep a secret?" she asked, glancing around.

Cally was a little concerned about somebody's dad being a bad person; it didn't make any sense to her. Still... "Of course. Nana can too. 'Cos she only talks in doggie language."

"Okay!" One more quick glance around, and then Stephanie leaned in to whisper behind her hand.

"When I'm not busy bein' Sooperman, my name's Stephanie. Stephanie Brown. But don't tell anyone!"

Cally nodded solemnly. "I won't. You're not very brown either, though. You're rather pink!"

[identity profile] batwaffles.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Stephanie giggled. "I like purple better, but that's not my name."

"I like green." No, REALLY? "I've only got the one name, though. You've got three!"

You know. If you counted Sooperman.

[identity profile] batwaffles.livejournal.com 2011-04-17 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you were counting Sooperman, just you give her another thirteen years or so, Cally. She'd pick up another three at least.

"Green's good too," Stephanie agreed, being agreeable like that. "What color d'you like, Nana?"

Yes, she was asking the dog. Just to be fair. It was the principle of the thing!

Nana's non-existent eyebrows scrunched together for a moment, before she answered, "WHUFF!"

And tried to lick Stephanie's face. As you do.

"Aaaaaaaaaack!" Stephanie yelped, tumbling over backwards in a very non-superheroic way. "That better not be superbadguy drool!"

Nana looked vaguely insulted.

Well, no, Nana looked like Nana always looked: big-eyed and patient.

"Nana's not a guy. Or bad!" Cally defended her.
