"Ace, what's the rush? Can't it wait?" Lyra asked as her little brother dragged her into his room. But seeing how serious he looked, she decided to hear him out. The cheese-loaded sausage pizza could wait.
Ace sat Lyra down on his bed and fixed her with a dead-serious gaze. In a deep voice, he asked, "Lyra, what are you willing to give up for superpowers?"
"Seriously? I thought this was going to be important since you were acting all sus. I'll play make-believe with you later—right now, I need to save my pizzas from Danny. Besides, I thought you'd outgrown these games," Lyra said, appalled that her little brother would drag her away from her "cheesy babies" for something like this. Still, she forgave him, thinking maybe this was his weird way of saying he missed her. Men—why can't they just say what they feel?
