Summary: It's a fairly important question, especially if one is a superhero: What is your super power? (Part 5 of the Superheroes! Series)
"You know," Evin gasped, half bent as he gripped the stair rail tightly, "I know that it has the best view of Corus and the surrounding countryside, but the top of Balor's Needle has to be the worst place I've ever heard of to hold a tactical meeting."
Dom glared at the blonde. "Only—you can," he coughed, "have full conversation—when—winded…"
Evin tilted his head up, squinting against the sunlight. "Almost there, come on."
The wind buffeted them, whistling through the iron latticework staircase, and Dom turned his face into the breeze. "I dunno, it makes me feel like I'm flying, you know?"
"No."
Evin Larse was a man who liked both feet solidly on the ground, thank you very much.
Dom ignored Mr. Negative Nancy.
"If I had a super power, I'd want to be able to fly."
"Yeah, yeah, that's great…"
Dom paused on the top step. "Well, what would yours be, Commander Larse?"
Evin flashed a toothy grin. "I'd be INVISIBLE."
Eyebrows together in a puzzled frown, Dom looked the infamously flashy Player head to toe. "That's a little refined and understated for the like of you, though, isn't it?"
"Are you kidding?" Evin's grin grew. "It'd be the best trick ever." He turned smartly on his heel and pulled open the door at the top of the Needle. "I'd get to hear and see EVERYTHING."
Dom, abandoned at the top of the stairs, watched the door click shut as he took a moment and imagined Invisible Evin.
And shuddered.
