"Which meant my sister and I had to help save the world without superpowers. Or superhero friends to call. And we definitely didn't get as famous for it. Everyone in town thought we were heroes, but it's not like anyone else in the world knew what happened."
He stared at Sam and Kon both like he was mentally cataloging their existence as (superheroic) otherworldly oddities.
(Interacting normally with other kids his age? What was that?)
That was when a waitress came over and put down several glowing, sparkly drinks in front of them.
"These are courtesy of those sentients over there," she said cheerfully, nodding towards a nearby group of teens that waved enthusiastically, hoping to get their attention.
