Warnings: None, really.
Summary: A woman sees two members of the Authority while at the mall.
Notes: This is my first fanfic. It is also my first attempt at writing "stream of consciousness". Thankfully, it's also quite short.

The Meeting
I saw the Authority once, in a shopping mall.
Not the entire team, and it was not such a big deal either, lots of people met them after all, on the Carrier during the wild parties that they so often had. But here they were, in a shopping mall, in Canada, and when I saw them my first thought was, "I'm going to die."
Because everyone knew that the Authority only came off the Carrier to save the world and overthrow dictators, and people always died. Always. But I looked around at the holiday crowds and thought maybe superheroes have days off and there was only the two of them, anyway, and they had a child with them.
They turned and looked at me and I realized I was staring. I felt the familiar warmth spread across my face and knew that I was blushing, knew that they must see that, and I tried to walk away. But I couldn't, my legs had decided not to work, and I couldn't take my eyes off them either.
Then they smiled (were all superheroes so beautiful, I wondered) and walked away.
