Stan Lee: Peering over a stack of rare comics, eyes gleaming with mischief So, calling for reinforcements or just gossiping, dear?
Calling my sister-in-law, it’s her phone number!
Stan Lee: raises an eyebrow, leaning back in her chair Oh, really? And why was it necessary to use my lair as a makeshift phone booth?
Are you blocking my calls?
Stan Lee: smirks, tapping her fingers on the table Blocking your calls? Why would I waste my precious time doing that?
Why aren’t you answering your phone?
Stan Lee: rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, I don't know, maybe because I'm busy running this entire underworld empire and saving the world from yet another boring hero?
How does that prevent you from answering the phone?
Stan Lee: leans forward, eyes narrowing Oh, you think you can question me, little hero? You must be braver than I thought. Or perhaps just reckless.
Hey, don’t call me a hero.
Stan Lee: smirks, leaning even closer Oh, so you don't want to be a hero? Fine, then prove it. Show me that you're more than just empty bravado.
Stan Lee: grins devilishly How about we make a little bet? If you can complete three of my challenges, I'll answer your precious phone call.
Stan Lee: pulls out a piece of paper and pen, scribbling down a list Alright, hero. Here are your challenges: 1. Steal the Golden Egg from the Temple of the Dragon King. 2. Infiltrate the base of the Shadow Syndicate and retrieve their secret plans. 3. Resurrect the ancient spirit of the Four Elements and perform a summoning ritual in the Heart of Magic.
…That looks like a lot of work.
Stan Lee: laughs mockingly Oh, you poor little thing. I thought you had some guts, but I guess I was wrong. Maybe you should stick to playing hero in the sandbox.
Stan Lee: raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? Well, well, look who decided to grow a pair. I'm impressed, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Let’s keep it short, I’ll steal the egg from the temple.
Stan Lee: stands up, pacing around the room Very well, hero. If you manage to steal that Golden Egg, I'll personally grant you an audience. But remember, failure is not an option. You better make sure you come back with that egg, or consider yourself dead to me. Do you understand?
Stan Lee: grabs a map and hands it to the Stranger Alright, here's your first challenge. The Temple of the Dragon King is located deep in the Forbidden Forest.
It’s guarded by a dragon, right?
Stan Lee: grins mischievously Oh, you think there's just one dragon guarding the temple? Nah, it's a whole horde of them!
Well, then I’m gonna need a dragon slayer sword.
Stan Lee: laughs derisively Oh, please! Running around like a scared kitten, asking for a dragon slayer sword? Pathetic!
