My Overlord is Better Than Your Overlord
Between The Fighting Spirit and Heart of Gold
"If I have to be kidnapped, can't I at least be kidnapped with internet?"
Lysis sighed. "The internet is easily trackable."
"But we're all fairies! There has to be something we can do about that. I mean, we're at a hotel with free wifi, we can't leave until tomorrow morning, and I can't even blog about my Overlord? Something is just not right here."
"Your overlord?" Avalon muttered. The tomboyish fairy of tools (not to be confused with Kaylee, the ironically feminine fairy of mechanics) and I were getting along a little bit better... but just as I didn't understand her, she didn't understand me, and we both made no secret of how weird we thought the other to be.
Safeyah tapped me on the shoulder. "Excuse me, Mia," she said, "but what is an overlord?"
Nakisha smiled sheepishly. Ever since we had picked her up, we had been talking on the spirit channel so she could hear. "I don't know either," she admitted.
I grinned. Suddenly, I needed internet twice as much. I had a mission.
About a half hour later, we were all gathered around Lysis's laptop, using her Netflix account. It was a tight squeeze for eight girls, but somehow, we made do. Subtitles were on, even, because, as Nakisha put it, "television doesn't get the spirit channel."
"So, this Castiel pulled Dean out of hell?"
"Gripped him tight and raised him from perdition."
"What's perdition?"
"I think it's hell..."
"That's what I just said!"
"I like Dean, he reminds me of me."
"WHOA LOOK AT THOSE WINGS."
"They're not real. I've seen real wings up close..."
"We all have, Lysis, it's a television show that aired this season before fairies were released from Tir Nan Og."
"It's still so unrealistic..."
"Whatever! Next episode!"
Avalon, who was the one who decided she liked Dean (which, in turn, made me like her a little more), reached over Safeyah in order to click to the next episode, but Saf stopped her. "Wait. I still do not know what an overlord is."
The fairies all turned to me. "Well," I said, "the guy who plays Castiel... did you like Cas?"
There were shrugs and nods and murmurs of "yes."
"Well, the guy who plays him is called Misha Collins, and he's my idol, and is twice as awesome as Cas. He is my overlord, and I am his minion. And he'll rule the world someday."
They all looked at me funny. "So, an overlord is someone who does evil?" Saf asked.
"I think so," Avalon said. She cracked her knuckles. "Can we kick his butt?"
I sighed and shook my head. "He's not evil. He's awesome. It's... it's just harder to explain than I thought. Come on guys. Let's watch the next episode."
Author's Note: This chapter was mostly inspired by my girlfriend. Ironically, she's more of an Avalon than a Mia, but she's a huge minion. So, go Zoë!
To all who don't like slight crossover chapters, apologies.
