“Ah, that is only true in fantasy and fictional stories, my dear Summer. This, however, is reality. That means that anything can happen, including us losing,” East says.
“That is always a possibility along with us winning and a great many other scenarios,” East patiently explains, not that said Superhero really thinks they would lose to this particular enemy that they’re currently up against, but that’s not really the point now, is it? The point is letting West know the truth or, at least, East’s version of the truth.
Too bad, it’s all lost on West who may or may not have been paying attention or is just intent on ignoring such words. You be the judge of that.
“Uff, no way, uh-uh, me lose? Ain’t gonna happen. Ever. Maybe you lot-” West points at East. “My sidekicks, I mean, will lose, but definitely not me. But, don’t worry. If you’re in trouble or if you need help, I’ll always be there.” West speaks with much conviction as if there could be no possible doubt about the truth of those words.
“I’ll show up to rescue you lot ‘cause that’s just how much of a ‘super special awesome’ Superhero I am.” West strikes a heroic and awesome post (it goes without saying that that would be the Superhero’s description of said pose, but, you knew that already, didn’t you?).
