"Being a superhero probably isn't all it's cracked up to be," Chris said lowly, still flipping through his book. "It's like being a military man without the dental and health insurance, I bet." His father told him some of the strangest things.

"Yee-eess," said Wisp, leaning back and flapping her hand amiably at Christian, "but you know what you're doing it for? You're doing it for freedom. I don't know what dental is anyway. I bet Mr. Tyler is cool with us not getting dental."
Dental sounded a little rude.

Delilah gave Christian a considering look, aquamarine eyes half-lidded. Then she nodded at him; for what, it was his guess. Turning back to Rory, though, she looked a bit crestfallen. "I don't know. There's nothing wrong with being a pirate. Mama's a pirate. So's Uncle Kiet." She paused and held out both hands to display a few exceedingly shiny (and somewhat tacky) bracelets. "Uncle Kiet brought these for me from space. See, they're space pirates so, if superheros fight pirates, I can't."

Rory thought quickly, seeing that, well, pirates were apparently a good thing. "Well, I don't think we'll be fighting space pirates or anything like that, so you're parents could be exempt!" Exempt sounded like a really good word to her, after all. That and parents shouldn't be attacked.
She then took a moment to admire the bracelets and couldn't help but thing of Polly. Polly would have been an -awesome- superhero. Unless it came to shinies.

Chris groaned, falling back and covering his face with his magazine rather than reply to that. She didn't even know what Dental was! Of course, he had only found out the other day when his grandmother and mother had dragged him to the dentist office. (his teeth were perfect, by the way, but she really thought they might want to get a Vet to double check that.)

"Parent," Delilah corrected carefully. "Uncle Kiet isn't my Papa at all. I don't have a Papa. Uncle Kiet is my... Well, he's my Uncle Kiet." She considered the situation. "And I have good teeth so I don't think I even need dental. I didn't even chip a tooth when I bit down on..." She trailed off and looked decidedly sheepish, studying her toes with sudden interest.
