Author's Note: I'd like to give a warm thanks to Alexandria-likethecityinEgypt, for the warm review in chapter 1 with the perspective she has as a parent. If you're reading this chapter, Alexandria, hope you enjoyed the Mother's Day chapter. This one is very short, I'm afraid, since the topic can't be stretched for long. Please review afterwards for more ideas and suggestions.
M'gann pulled out another tray of cookies from the over with her mind. She smiled as she examined the latest batch, less dark and more of a golden-brown. Just like the pictures said.
"Yo, Megalicious, are those cookies?" Wally zoomed into view, his face already drooling onto the trays.
"Wally, don't touch them, they're not ready." M'gann scolded right as Wally swiped a cookie from the tray she just pulled out of the over and popped it into his mouth. A moment later…
"HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT IT BURNS US!" Wally spat the cookie from his mouth and dashed over to the sink, turned the faucet on and placing his mouth over it for a few moments before spitting out the water.
"Lukewarm." He grumbled.
M'gann sighed and extended her hand out to the freezer, opening the door and pulling out several ice cubes with telekinesis.
"Pleesh don' p't 'n mah mouf, Meg." Wally stuck his tongue out, trying to fan out the burn. "T 'ooks 'eird n 'inky."
"Hold out your hand and stop talking."
Wally complied and felt the ice melting into his hand, tentatively placing one of the cubes on his tongue and rubbing it like a salve.
"Trying to get the bad taste out of your mouth." A snarky voice came from behind.
Wally turned around and saw Red Arrow standing with his arms crossed in front of him. He forgot that the older teen had come earlier to visit.
"He ate a cookie right out of the oven, and I don't appreciate you calling me a bad cook for the 12th time you've been here." M'gann frowned.
"I heard a thing or two about those. Burnt on the outside, burnt on the inside." Red Arrow said.
"Where did you hear that?" M'gann crossed her arms.
"Du'." Wally said with an ice cube in his mouth. "Tat wa' ne 'ime. 'E ot 'etter."
"Try one." M'gann lifted one of the cookies from the tray, the treat floating in midair. "Careful, it's hot."
Red Arrow looked at the cookie floating towards him with suspicion before blowing at it a few times. He took a tentative bite and stopped mid-crunch. He walked away.
Ten minutes later, when M'gann and Wally were looking for burn ointment, all of the cookies had vanished.
Author's Note: Practice makes perfect, and M'gann won't get it right the first time but will learn from her mistakes. I am not ashamed to say that I am a dude who enjoys baking, I'm the only other guy in the family who isn't my father that can cook more than just pasta. I plan on trying some recipes I found on YouTube from Tasty, those videos are short and amazing. Next update will be this Sunday, so stay tuned!
