Victor is sitting at a computer and calls "Hey Molly, you got a minute?"
"What's up?" She walks over with a smile. He couldn't help but think about how cute she was.
"I was bored and started thinking about our conversation about costumes earlier so I decided to look up the best superhero costumes. Real and comic book."
"Cool" She stands beside him looking at the screen as Vic clicks a link.
"Black Cat? Her costume is boring, why is she on a best costume list?" Molly looking at the screen didn't notice that Victor couldn't help but grin. He glanced at the low cut top and didn't agree with Molly's opinion that it was boring. They were judging based on different standards though.
"It's just whoever did this page's opinion. Do you like any of Storm's outfits?"
"Yeah some of them are cool, I like that one." Molly tapped a picture of Storm in a mostly black costume with a cape that showed a lot of skin. He couldn't help but think about Molly wearing something like that, then felt bad for thinking about her that way-even though it had been happening a lot lately.
They switched between a couple of websites with Molly mostly liking the more colorful outfits. "So does this mean you think costumes are cool too?" Molly said it with a gottcha grin like she'd caught him.
Victor paused deciding to be careful how he worded his answer. "I think some of them are cool but that doesn't mean I want to start wearing one."
"Not even ever?"
"I didn't say never, maybe one day but I don't know what it would look like." Molly seemed to take that as a small victory. Victor spent a couple seconds glancing at her butt, the cloth shorts she had on hugged it really nicely, then forced his gaze back to the screen. "What would your costume look like Mol?"
"I dunno, I come up with a bunch of ideas but I haven't really decided. I like her costume" pointing at Spider Woman "not for me but it's cool."
Victor started to stand up "You can sit down Molly, I didn't think to grab another chair."
"It's ok, you sit down." He obeyed then was surprised when she sat on his left thy. Vic affectionately put the palm of his left hand on her back as he moved the mouse with his right. The next website had fictional superheroes and villains resulting in Molly getting excited when she saw Harley Quinn. "That's really cool I like that one." She absentmindedly adjusted getting more comfortable and Vic's eyes got big for a second when she straddled his thy-luckily her back was to him-but he recovered his composer, for the most part, pretty quickly. "Why is Buffy on here, she doesn't even wear a costume?" Vic didn't have a good answer for that.
The next page had a mix of guys and girls resulting in Molly complaining about Daredevil and Black Bolt's costumes being boring and rated to high. "Spiderman's costume is cool." Vic agreed but got an eyeroll when he said he liked Spidey's black costume also.
Molly leaned forward a little and Vic couldn't think about anything except how there were only 3 thin layers of cloth between his skin and between her thighs. Then the memory of the view he'd gotten of Molly's panties up her skirt he'd gotten a couple days before filled his mind. Thank God she hadn't sat in his lap or she'd know the kind of things he was thinking about, even if she didn't realize the thoughts were about her.
Trying to act natural and maybe reign in his thoughts he ask what she thought about the costumes from Watchmen. "I never watched it, it looked kinda weird."
"It was awesome, they changed some stuff from the comics but the movie is still great. Alan Moore is a genius…"
"Victor, your one of my best friends, but you're really being a geek." She started the sentence stern enough to get his attention but gave him a little smile when she saw that he wasn't going to keep going fanboy on her.
Victor had gone back to the search results to find more costumes and Molly giggled. She pointed at a page that's heading said Top 10 Skimpiest female superhero costumes. "I see what you were looking at."
He could tell she was picking at him but he pointed at the search bar where he'd typed Best Superhero Costumes. "Not guilty. You're curious about that page now aren't you Molly?"
"Not as curious as you are. We can look if it'll make you happy." Victor clicked the link knowing he was in a no win situation weather he clicked it or not. "She-Hulk, her costumes not bad. I kinda like Supergirl's outfit."
"That makes sense, your costume had a skirt and cape."
Molly smiled then said "My shirt was bigger though."
"That's true, so do you think her costume is to skimpy?"
"No, it's cool. Nico and Lina wear stuff like that. I don't think Nico would wear those colors but there's nothing wrong with her outfit." "I don't even know who those two are." Vic started to explain the DC character's histories then caught himself. "She looks naked but I guess she's like Mr Human Torch." Vic agreed that she probably wasn't really naked. Vic scrolled down a little showing Tigra and Shanna as 6 and 5. "How the crap do they fight bad guys in bikinis?"
"Um I don't know, it doesn't seem like a good idea." Molly was looking up at him a little nervous. "Don't worry I won't tell Chase or Nico or Karolina that you said crap, don't worry about it."
"Thanks Vic" She leaned back against his chest and he carefully put his left arm around her and gave her a mini-hug, then she leaned forward again looking at the pictures. 4 was Red Sonja in a chainmail bikini and Witchblade wearing less at 3. "If that's number 3 I think I'm ok not knowing what the number one wears."
"No problem." Vic backed out of that website. "Do you have a Princess Powerful logo?"
Molly's eyes brightened "I hadn't thought about that! A costume with my own symbol, hehe there's like a thousand X-Men and they have to share, someday I'm going to have a symbol that's just mine."
They heard Nico's voice from the kitchen. "Victor, it's your turn to wash dishes!" Followed by Chase "Is circuit-boy waterproof, I don't want him shorting the place out while I'm watching tv."
Molly hopped up "You better go, I don't want you to get grounded. And Vic, thanks for not calling me Bruiser."
He thought about hugging her but decided to just flop on of the cloth eyestalks dangling off her hat so that it landed on top of her head. "You're welcome, I had fun hanging out with you."
"Me too." She darted off toward her room with a brain full of thoughts that he couldn't even guess at.
