Zero and Peter's Apartment, LA, Monday Evening

[swerval_zero]

So there was a show about models. Normally Zero ignored those, because the stupid hurt her brain and she'd gotten enough of it that one time she'd volunteered to help out at Claude's show, anyway, but this show about models was different. This show about models had someone she knew in it. A former bandmate, even. So Zero was camped out on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn in her lap and Fish perched on one shoulder, cheering Chad on.

She just hoped being around other models didn't somehow leach his brains.

"Why would I be discouraged?" Peter asked. "The cat's safe, a little girl is happy, I got to hang around in a tree for a couple minutes, and I couldn't find anyone else who needed help even though I searched for a few hours. That's a great day."

Parker considered that, then admitted, "It does sound like a good day. But if I were doing the caped vigilante thing, I'd be pissed off every day I didn't bring down a major crime ring. But that's why you don't have an ulcer, I guess." She pointed at the screen. "On the other hand, I could be these poor people. Aside from Chad, who is still awesome."

"I think the key point there is that I don't wear a cape," Peter said.

"So your fashion choices are saving you from pointless angst?" Parker asked with a grin.

"I wouldn't say it saves me, but it helps," Peter said with a nod.

"Cool. Hey, are you the only superhero guy in L.A.?" Parker wondered, curious. "Do you guys ever run into each other at crime scenes?"

"I'm the only one in this whole world as far as I can tell," Peter said. "They don't seem to have superscience here to help people get powers."

"Good," Parker said decisively. "Not that we couldn't use a few more heroes." She briefly thought of Jarod. "But that always seems to go hand in hand with mad scientists, and speaking from what I know about them, that never ends well."

"Nope," Peter said.

He knew plenty of scientists, many of whom were on the mad side of the line. 'Nope' was all he needed to say.
