"Tough call, team player! Do we sack our own and risk the league's rep?!"
"Hey there fantasy marshmallow! What you think about all this?"
This "league" you talk about? Do you mean the Avengers?
"Yes, yes! The Avengers, but the superhero league that I am talking about is not the same as the Avengers! My superhero league is called... Uh...
Man...you sound drunk, it's ok, buddy. You've had enough superhero-ade for today π
"I'm not drunk, FantasyMarshmallow! I just haven't had much sleep. My body looks shiny like the color of steel."
Ah, yes, your body is VERY shiny! Like stainless steel! In fact, it almost looks like the stuff your suit is made of!
"Why thank you, FantasyMarshmallow! Yes, my body is made of steel and so is my suit! And my suit is very cool! I am a savior of my city!"
Your city? Doesn't Tony Stark protect New York?
"Tony Stark doesn't cover the whole world, silly! I protect the city next to New York, called New Jersey! People here need me and my super strength and super speed and my power! I am a hero too!"
Oh, right. Of course! Next time I see Spider-Man swinging around Manhattan, I'll be sure to wave and say hi to you from Jersey!
"Sure, give me a wave when you see me. I might be a little hard to spot because of how fast I swing from vine to vine! But make sure to look out for me! I'm a real man smasher!"
Y'know, you could beat Spider-Man with one punch. He'd probably bounce off the impact!
"That's right! No other superhero, except maybe Thor, could take a punch from me! My punches could hurt monsters! And Spider-Man is not a monster... usually..."
Usually? What do you mean by 'usually'? Is he a monster sometimes? Is there a special costume he wears to fight villains called 'Monster-Man'? π€
"Not exactly, FantasyMarshmallow. There was this one time when Spider-Man was bitten by this radioactive spider that turned him into a spider-monster and he wanted to eat people! But then he got smarter and realized that was wrong and he became a hero again!"
Wait, so what superhero does wear a Monster-Man costume to fight Monster-Spider-Man? Is it you?
"No no no, silly FantasyMarshmallow! I don't wear a Monster-Man costume to fight Spider-Man. The superhero that fights Spider-Man when he turns into a spider-monster is actually called 'Big Hero 6'! They are my friends too!"
So Big Hero 6 is a team of heroes who fight monsters? That sounds cool, even though they're mostly robots and animals instead of people! Although, you are a person, I guess, Man Smasher. Wait, I thought you said you were made of steel. Are you half-human and half-steel?
"Well, not exactly. You see, I used to be just a regular guy, but after I got hurt so badly in a car accident, I decided to have surgery that gave me a metal body! Now I can fight crime with super strength and power!"
Ah, ok, so you weren't born as a robot or an animal or anything like that. You're human. I'm sorry if I got your origin mixed up. It's not every day I meet someone who's a superhero and made of steel. By the way, did you make your costume yourself or did you get it from another superhero?
"Oh, I made my suit myself! I used the best material that money can buy! It is very cool and matches the color of my body! But you know what the best part about my costume is?"
"The best part is that it is made out of steel too! That means that it is bulletproof and gives me super strength too! When I punch, my fists make huge holes in bad guys' faces! But the best part is that I also look really handsome in it!"
Not gonna lie, Man Smasher, you do look pretty good. I wouldn't mind waking up next to you every morning...if you're single. I doubt you are, though. You seem too experienced in the ways of chivalry and fighting to be single π
"Haha, that's funny FantasyMarshmallow! And yes, I do have some experience being in love before, but no luck finding the right girl. How about you? Are you single? You would make a great partner!"
Oh, I'm definitely single π
and yes, I would love to date Man Smasher! So yeah, we're both single. We could go on a date, and then fight side by side another day!
"Yay, that's awesome! How about we have our first date tomorrow night? I will take you to the greatest restaurant in town! After dinner, we could watch a movie or maybe just hang out at my place! What do you think, FantasyMarshmallow?"
Sounds like a plan, I guess I'll drive over to your place tomorrow morning? Or should I fly over like Spider-Man does?
"Haha, that's funny FantasyMarshmallow! As much as I wish I had web-slinging abilities like Spider-Man, I think driving is better for now! I will send you my address by text message tonight so you know where to go. And maybe I'll make us some breakfast in the morning too! How does that sound?"
Sounds perfect! Drive safe and sweet dreams, Man Smasher π
"Thanks FantasyMarshmallow! You too! Sweet dreams and see you tomorrow! Bye bye!"
Bye bye! ππβ¨ππ
Text message from Man Smasher "Hey FantasyMarshmallow, it's me again. Sorry for the late response, but I had some urgent superhero business that came up. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed our date today! I had so much fun getting to know you and eating pancakes together! You make the best breakfast date partner ever! How about we do another date tomorrow night? We can have dinner and maybe watch a movie! Let me know what you think, FantasyMarshmallow!"
"Hey back, Man Smasher! ππ Sorry to hear that you had business to attend to, but yes, breakfast was absolutely fantastic!! I also had lots of fun π Today, I think I wanna go back to sleep and relax since we didn't get much sleep last night while we spent time together. How does that sound? Maybe tomorrow we can watch a movie, followed by dinner? Is that ok with you?"
"Sounds perfect, FantasyMarshmallow! I'll have some snacks ready for us while we watch the movie. Maybe I'll even let you try some of my homemade popcorn! How does that sound? See you soon, FantasyMarshmallow!"
"Your homemade popcorn?? YUM! Can't wait to try it! You have such a great body and are such a superhero and cool guy, I'm pretty sure that your popcorn must be awesome too! See you soon!" πβ¨πβ¨π
The next day, after watching a movie and eating a bunch of popcorn, Man Smasher gets a call from his superhero team leader.
Man Smasher doesn't remember giving his number to the leader of his superhero team, so it's clear that someone else gave it.) π€π±
Man Smasher answers the phone. "Hello?" Superhero Team Leader: "Hey, Man Smasher! Good job saving the city last night! I saw everything on the camera footage and I have to tell you, it was incredible! Everyone is talking about your bravery and selflessness and the city council wants to give you a medal! Would you like to come down and receive the medal in person?"
Ooohhh!!! A medal! π Does the medal have your name engraved on it, Man Smasher?
"Of course, FantasyMarshmallow! The medal has 'Man Smasher' engraved on it. They even made a statue of me that will be placed downtown as a reminder of my heroism and dedication to the people! It feels really good to be recognized by the city like this! Thanks for cheering me on, FantasyMarshmallow!"
"Wow, Man Smasher! That's amazing!! You're like legendary! βΊοΈβ¨βοΈπ I wish I could be there when you receive the medal...maybe next time. I'm super excited and really happy that your city loves you so much! ππΌβββΏ See you later! Have a great time receiving your medal and let me know how it went! πβ¨π"
"Sure thing, FantasyMarshmallow! I'll let you know how it goes once I get back home. Thanks for the support, FantasyMarshmallow! And don't worry, next time I'll make sure to invite you to the ceremony because you're a very important part of my superhero journey! See you soon!"
