The icy midnight air gave a gentle slap on my face: a relaxation and separation from the harsh reality in this world. 

It was a moment of contentment and peace. 

"I would give up the entirety of London for power. London is too sad." I was joking of course. It was a running joke I'd make and it sounded funny in my head. It never gets old. 

She rolled her eyes in a sarcasm equivalent to a dose of toxin enough to kill a baby elephant and let out a chortle, expressing mirth. Things have been getting quite tense and serious lately so I knew a joke wasn't harmful to make. 

"Okay, sharp cookie. Now be serious. What will it be?" 

I looked away, trying to hide my blush and a slight smile curled on my lips. 

"My old life in town in exchange to see superheroes." I know the answer sounded delusional and childish, and yes, it is definitely not right in the head to wish for something that doesn't exist.
