Can We Sue?

Lightning Strikes Again!

Harry rolled his eyes at the headline as he walked past the newsstand. Really? He was tired of the headlines he was getting lately—not that he could complain about it since nobody knew that he was Lightning.

The whole "secret identity" thing was a must these days; between nosy journalists and social media, if it got out that he was one of the masked superheroes fighting for the safety of the people of London, he'd never get any peace.

"Lightning strikes," Ron said, walking up to him, rolling his eyes. "You'd think they'd be a little more inventive this late in the game, wouldn't you? It's not like you're new on the scene."

Harry shook his head. "Why be inventive when you can be lazy?"

"Did you see the one they did for me the other day? 'Hit with a Cannon', the fucking idiots. I wouldn't mind but I didn't even hit the guy, I just roped him up and left him there for the police."

Harry snorted, he couldn't help it. Ron always got so heated about the headlines, it didn't matter who they were about. It was always funnier when he was annoyed by one of his own though.

"I'm surprised Hermione hasn't had any about 'claws' yet," Harry said, as the two of them walked to the cafe where they were due to meet up with Hermione—code name Cheetah.

"It won't be long," Ron replied, huffing. "It's insulting really. Can we sue them? Is that a thing?"

"For shitty headlines that aren't actually offensive to us? Probably not," Harry replied, pushing the door to the cafe open. Hermione was already there waiting for them. She took one look at Ron's face and then sighed.

"The headline?"

Harry laughed, and Ron joined him after a moment, leaning over to kiss his girlfriend in greeting.

"The headline," Harry confirmed as he sat down.

"You've gotta admit," Hermione said, smirking conspiringly. "It was pretty lame."

"Oh it definitely is," Harry agreed. "I just don't think I can sue them for it."

Hermione laughed. "No, probably not. At least they're not accusing us of being extraterrestrial these days."

"… confirmed that the Ferret has been seen in North London…"

Harry perked up as he heard the radio playing and the three of them listened intently for a few moments before Ron sighed.

"I'll go tell them that we want the coffee to go."
