{Heroic deeds}

“Are you sure? I will cuddle you if you want, but I don’t think you will like it.”

“Of course.” The woman nodded, awaiting further instructions. As a superheroine, she never really have time to cuddle or do other things that meant contact with normal people outside of saving them, so she didn’t want to screw this chance up by doing anything weird.

He then gasped out in surprise as he heard a much more powerful wind blow outside, gusting hard past the window as it made a loud, yet soothing, whistling sound, as if she was charming him with the music of her wind. “O-Of course my dear! S-Same for you.. m-meep!” James blushed harder, the really strong winds outside combined with her soft breeze indoors made him feel very flustered, he couldn’t help but feel like Storm’s intention was to tease him hard, this caused him to squirm around as one of his weaknesses was being teased like this. He expected her to start talking about the outdoors wind next, possibly about how he might have problems staying on the ground, being blown away like a feather or kite, or something along those lines, just to get an adorable response from him. “Y-You’re blowing outside too, a-aren’t you.. my love~?”

It had been like this ever since the moment they had started dating. His love for the strong gusts of wind she was capable of blowing, together with her love for teasing him resulted in her enjoying her powers even more. Before she would rarely use them, unless she really needed to, but now, she used them as much as she could.

He took her by the hand and escorted her toward the largest machine in the room.  Massive, spherical, with tubes coming out at every angle and height, with steam coming from chutes at the top, all manner of fruits, vegetables, and other foods in tubes leading into the bowels of the machine.  Wonka pressed a button and it sprang to life.  After about 30 seconds of whistling, small steamy “pops”, and the sound of food being mashed and steamed, a little bell rang.

“Ah, here we are, done!”

Willy went over to the small dispenser and took out a small packet of gum that was already wrapped upon exiting the machine.  Nice and easy for tossing onto a conveyer belt to be shipped out to candy stores all over the world.

Taking one of the pieces of gum, she unwrapped it before staring back at the man. “Are you sure this won’t make me gain weight? Because if it doesn I won’t be able to go out for dinner with you.” She smiled playfully, not wanting him to feel like she thought he was a liar or that he wasn’t sure of what he was doing.

“I am, but I thought you already knew that.” Ororo smiled, blowing a gentle breeze in his direction.

“Are you sure? I will cuddle you if you want, but I don’t think you will like it.”

“It’s just that I haven’t cuddled with anyone for a while, and I’m afraid I’ve lost my ‘touch’ for cuddling because of that.”

“Are you sure? I will cuddle you if you want, but I don’t think you will like it.”

“Yes, my suits inner workings are very delicate and if  not handled properly can kill someone. The person  inside didn’t bother to read the instructions, so he  paid the price.”

     The way he spoke about the death of the person inside him was chilling      to even himself, and if he could’ve he would’ve ended up shuddering as      he reached up to gently scratch at the back of his head with one of his      decayed hands- a habit he had picked up from the last preformer inside      of him,

“Does anyone else know that there’s a dead person inside of you?” Even if he was right and the person deserved to die such a horrible death, it couldn’t be normal to keep a corpse locked inside of a suit. It couldn’t be good for him either. She could imagine how bad it must be to know you have a decaying body inside of you.

Willie smiled and tugged on his collar, not having expected a yes from her.  The candy seemed to put her at ease, relaxed her body language.  He didn’t know the real reason, but thought instead it was just from her letting loose and enjoying herself.  It seemed like she didn’t get a chance to do that much.  Such stiff shoulders!

“It’s a date.” he said, half-questioningly.  “But no after dinner mint for you, no.  I have something special planned.  In fact, it’s something you could have now and unlike the rest of my creations, it won’t fill you up before dinner. Interested, Ms. Starr?”

Willie bowed in an exaggerated manner and took her hand, before giving it a playful kiss and smiling with his eyes as much as his lips.

“Something special?” The woman smiled, excited to get to try something else. Everything had been so good so far that it left her wondering what could be better than this. Maybe it was some special candy that he had in store, or another chocolate swan.

“Well I guess that makes two of us. The only one who  really knows what’s happened in this place is currently  dead inside of me when the idiot forgot to lock up the  springs properly.”

“I am, but I thought you already knew that.” Ororo smiled, blowing a gentle breeze in his direction.
