Bus CXV

Louisa: Would you rather be able to fly or turn invisible?

Jack: Both

Louisa: You have to choose

Jack: Then neither

Louisa: What, you're too good for just one superpower?

Jack: What's the point of being able to fly if everyone can see me? It'd be ten minutes, tops, before I got declared a danger to national security and shot down by anti-aircraft guns.

Louisa: Okay, then forget about flight and just choose invisibility

Jack: That's no good either. If I can turn invisible but still have to walk everywhere, people will just keep bumping into me all the time.

Louisa: Fine, what power do you want? Totally free choice.

Jack: Selective hearing. I wanna be able to block out all the stupid things that people say to me.

Louisa: That's really lame

Jack: Yeah, but whenever people say it's lame, I'll just block them out

Louisa: Still lame

Jack: Alright, what would your power be then?

Louisa: I dunno. Maybe really good cooking skills. I always burn everything.

Jack: Cool. We could be a superhero tag team.

Louisa: Not much of a tag team. Somewhere there's a deaf chef who's got as much power as the two of us combined.
