Lexi couldn’t help but laugh at his comment about his underwear. “I feel you my dear I really do.” She could relate. A lot of tucking and rolling gave way her pants allowing some of the cold snow to get inside of her jeans. But aside from wet underwear they both were grinning ear to ear and laughing a lot. It was a good date day for their three month anniversary. This little fact may not seem like much but for a crime-fighting-superhero-couple-who-have-been-wanting-to-date-forever, it was kind of a big thing.

Parking at the curb in front of Peter’s house, Lexi watching him walk out tilting her head slightly as he did so. God he was so handsome and always has been so it was surprising to her that she never thought of trying to do something with him sooner. But better late than never because never is regrettable. Being with Peter is something she would never regret and it’s about time (as Aunt May would put it). Checking her reflection in the mirror she fixed her hair to the best she could before freshening up her makeup and tossing her bag into the back seat as he returned and climbed back into the car. “Oh Peter my how you’ve gone.” Lexi said in her ‘mocking old ladies’ tone. “You’ve been eating your vegetables and drinking your milk. Boy you’ve gotten tall. Those eight hours of sleep a night is really doing good for you. You’ve turned into a handsome young man, a young lady would be lucky to have you… if only I was thirty years younger…” Her voice was playful and teasing but the twinkle in her eye said she was pretty sure Aunt May’s friends would be saying those things as soon as he left. And let’s face it, Lexi was very lucky to have a man like Peter, and a friend like Peter.

“So I’m curious.” She began, a starter always to something that could lead to asking for information he might not want to give her. “Did you know what I was getting at when I spoke about the hero’s reward on my rooftop? The night of the interview.”
