The next morning I tiptoe into the kitchen and grab myself a snack, but when I get to the living room, Isaac is already there. He’s sitting on the couch and watching TV, and he briefly looks up at me before focusing back on the screen. For a moment, I wonder if I should just go back to my room, but then realize how stupid that is. We just had sex. That shouldn’t change anything between us, or should it? I settle myself on the other side of the couch, with enough space in between us.

“Want some?” I break the silence, turning the bag of chips toward him.

“Sure.” He dips his hand into the bag and takes a handful.

“Chocolate?” I push the chocolate bar toward him, and he raises an eyebrow at me. Instead of answering, I take a small piece of chocolate and put it in between two chips, then pop it into my mouth. A smile tugs on Isaac’s lips, but he doesn’t take the chocolate.

“We need a superhero,” Isaac says a few moments later. “Someone who could take care of the bad guys instead of us. Someone who won’t accept a bunch of money or power and cover up things for the bad guys.”

“Yeah,” I say, as I stare at the TV screen. The vigilante discharges three arrows into his enemy, who drops to the ground. Could I ever let an arrow or a bullet fly in Archer’s direction? I don’t even know.

“What you said yesterday...” Isaac turns his head toward me. “I know you want to stop our mission, but the party is tonight and... I’d like you to think about it once again. We don’t have superheroes who can take care of this, and if we don’t do anything, Archer will just continue hurting people and being a threat to everyone, especially to you and your family. Even if Raphael goes down, Archer won’t. He’ll never pay for what he’s done to us and to everyone else. Do you really want him to get away with everything?”

“No.” I sigh. “But Archer wants me to prove that I’m serious about this whole owning a slave thing, and I can’t really prove what’s not true. I don’t know what he’ll ask of us, so if we go to that party, we’ll confirm his suspicions and everything will go down the drain. He was a bit... pushy with me yesterday, so I could say I changed my mind and don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore. He won’t think that’s too odd.”

“You’re wrong. We won’t confirm his suspicions if we act our parts right,” Isaac says. “Look, I pretty much know everything that can happen at a party like that because I’ve been to many, and I know that whatever happens, I can handle it.”

“And what if you can’t? What if you change your mind when it’s too late?” I give him a pleading look. “Just trust me on this. I don’t think we can do it.
