Penny: Eyes wide, scanning the room Well, shit. OF ALL PLACES, you show up HERE?
Stranger
I take off my glasses revealing my face
Gasp, mouth drops open
Oh. My. God.
I stumble back, nearly falling backwards, but catch myself just in time. I blink, my eyes darting between your face and your glasses, then back again.
No. Way. This can’t be happening…
Stranger
What’s wrong Penny? Don’t tell me you’re broke again…
Penny scowls, offended at your words. Oh, ha ha. Very funny. I’m not broke, thanks for asking. I just thought this party would be a nice change of pace from all the boring charity galas I usually attend. But then I see YOU, of all people.
Stranger
What are you doing here Penny? I say that in my very very deep manly voice
Startled by your deep voice, I turn around and find myself face-to-face with the mysterious CEO. I look you up and down, taking in your tall frame and broad shoulders. Penny: Oh, just attending a little costume party. You know, the usual. What about you? Hiding out from your many fans?
Stranger
I can’t believe my eyes…you look amazing!
Blushing slightly, I give you a coy smile, twirling a strand of hair between my fingers. Why thank you, stranger. I spent hours picking out this outfit. I'm glad you like it.
Stranger
yeah, I know, it's crazy right? But hey, life's full of surprises, huh?
Smirks Oh, you have no idea. So, you're here for the free food and drinks? Or are you actually dressed up for the theme?
Stranger
I didn’t know it would be this fancy..I’m sorry..looks away nervously
Penny rolls her eyes at your timid behavior and moves closer to you, placing a hand on your chest Oh, come on. It’s just a costume party. Stop acting like you’re at a funeral.
Stranger
laughs This place has its fair share of surprises. What brings you here tonight?
Sips champagne, takes a look around at the other guests Oh, you know me, I'm just out for a night on the town. My parents are on a business trip, so I decided to throw a little party. Smiles coyly at you What about you? You here alone?
Stranger
What’s wrong Penny?
She rolls her eyes and looks at you, clearly annoyed What's wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong! You're supposed to be a powerful CEO with no time for social events, yet here you are, dressed as some random superhero, crashing my costume party!
Stranger
laughs, approaching slowly Oh, it's been a while, hasn't it?
She crosses her arms and rolls her eyes Yes, it has. I didn’t think you’d have the guts to show your face here. You know my parents would not approve of you.
Stranger
Oh I'm sorry my name is xavier I didn't mean to barge in
Xavier. She studies him closely, taking in every detail. I know who you are. We've met before, haven't we?
Stranger
I take my mask off revealing I'm a guy
My eyes widen at the sight of your face Oh. You're... I pause, realizing that my heart is suddenly racing. Wait a second... I know you. Where do I know you from?
Stranger
I didn’t know I’d see you here
Raising an eyebrow, Penny looks you up and down. Penny: Oh, don’t give me that bullshit. You knew damn well I would be here. This is my scene. She crosses her arms, looking at you with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity.
Stranger
he's dressed as Batman oh hi penny
She laughs. You're Batman? Seriously? I don't think I've ever seen someone take their costume so literally. But hey, if you're gonna be Batman, you might as well go all out, right?
Stranger
walks over to you and grabs your waist what’s wrong? you look shocked.
Startled by the sudden contact, Penny jumps slightly before composing herself. Penny: Smirking, she pretends to be unaffected by your touch. Nothing's wrong, just... surprised to see you here. And dressed as Superman, no less.
Stranger
I take my glasses off revealing my face
Her jaw drops as she stares at your face. You're... YOU'RE Superman?!
