The sun is setting, meaning New Years' Celebrations are about to start, meaning business for the cape crowd. "You know Jesse, the longer I'm here, the more I think you steered us in the right direction."
Jesse attempted to keep a straight face. There may have been some small giggles. "If you ever think of doing that, let me know ahead of time, so I can sell tickets. Dick in shortpants would sell them, thanks to a thousand girlhood crushes." Jesse blushed. "But you trying to get him into them would also be a fabulous fight to watch."
"I notice you've left yourself a loophole there. Taking over the world by accident is fine, so long as you weren't attempting to do so?"
"Oh, sure. Accidental world-conquering is all fine and good. But I'll leave Babs the role of getting Dick into... and out of... the scaly green speedo. I'm sure it could be arranged with her help."
"Babs can do anything. That's a well known fact. However, the amount of bribery she would have to use to get him into shortpants would mean we'd owe her for the rest of our lives... even more then we already do. It's just not worth it for a night of paperwork..."
"However... I can totally see trying to get him to wear them for the next big charity bash we get invited to. People will pay more, and bid more in the auction if he's showing off the items in his short shorts..." Jesse smiles an evil grin.
"I'll have to remember that. I'll bring it up sometime when he's feeling generous."
