The Trouble With Supermen

Darkness reigns over the city. I laugh, enjoying the beautiful cruelty of my own creation. Suddenly, a man flies in, and he's dressed in the most garish outfit I have ever seen. Honestly, what sort of a man wears tights? He grabs me, flies away and then drops me down on a rooftop about two miles away. The indignity! "You'll be safe here, Miss," he says. Safe? I was in no danger from my creation. I turn around and slap him.

"Listen up and listen good. I don't know who you are, and I don't care. How dare you interrupt me?!"

"But you were in danger. And, as I am a Superhero, it is my job to save anyone in danger; besides, saving someone so cute is a great perk."

A hero, great. That's the last thing I need, to have some idiot bumbling around, trying to spoil my plans for destruction. The city would be mine! Wait; did he just hit on me? So much like a man. Now, there has got to be a way to use this to my advantage. "A superhero, hmm? I don't believe in them."

"What? How can you not believe in Superheroes? Of course they exist!"

"No, no, I don't believe they do. And therefore, you cannot be a superhero, sorry. You must be suffering from delusions of grandeur, you poor thing. Now, go back to the hospital and get out of that costume." He's sputtering, the poor idiot. My plan is working. Now for the final blow. "You don't exist. Get away from me." He takes one last look at the chaotic city and slowly, slowly flies away. Hah! Take that, asshole! Now then, where was I? Oh yes; now I remember. Darkness, my darkness shall reign in this city for as long as I have breath.
