“Of course, silly, as soon as husband dear comes around, we would love to be a part of your team. Saving the world and all. Sounds like such an adventure.” I clapped my hands together in celebration. I wasn’t expecting this, but it was nice to be in such a nice, warm, family environment. If I was being honest with myself, I had been missing the excitement of work. At least I would be doing this with Leon by my side and for the good of mankind, instead of evil.

“Problem. I’m not fucking joining, and I don’t wanna fucking be married to you, crazy woman. I don’t want any of this shit,” Leon cursed. Everyone turned toward him now.

“He’s got some issues going on. But don’t worry. My Leon is a very good man. I know he’ll be on board soon.”  Of that I was one hundred percent sure. Eventually his poor-me attitude would drain away from his soul, and he would really help the world. He was meant for this. As soon as I’d found out about the Hero Society, I knew this was where he belonged—with these people, and doing good.  He was special; I’d seen it from the beginning, and I was going to help him see it too.

“Jesus Christ. You’re all mad if you let her in this, let alone think I want any part of it. I’m out of here.” He threw his hands up and jerked the door open so hard it broke free from the jamb.

“Dammit!” He set the door down and stormed off.

I was about to go get him when Phillip stopped me.

“Here.” He handed me a little card.

“Your card to get in without the theatrics.”

I tilted my head to the side; he knew I was going to join?

“I can see the future. Not all of it is set in stone, but I knew you’d come, and you would be good for us. Plus, my sister would have spoken up by now if you had any intentions to harm us.” He looked at Rose, and she nodded with a half-smile.  I really wished she would have stayed out of my emotions. Too many were always running around in my head, and it wasn’t a nice place to be for my own self most of the time, let alone someone else trespassing.

“Awesome. We are all going to be best friends.” I grinned and went to walk after my man.

“He’s heading toward the bay. Give him about a ten-minute start, then he’s going to need you,” Phillip told me and I nodded. Nice to have a little future insight, could be handy here and there. Like where my phone was when I lost it.  Happens all the time.
