‘Psst!’

It came from the staff toilet, where the door was slightly open and a face peeped through the crack. Mrs Sponge went closer.

‘It’s me, Mother,’ hissed the Green Meanie. ‘Get in here!’

‘I’m not coming in there with you. It’s a toilet,’ said Mrs Sponge.

‘Don’t be ridiculous. Hurry up, before someone comes along!’

Mrs Sponge sighed and slipped inside the door, which the Green Meanie bolted on the inside. It wasn’t an ideal place for a secret meeting – it smelled of bleach and was as cramped as an elf’s shoebox. Mrs Sponge looked around for somewhere to put her saucepan and decided on the floor.

‘Is this going to take long? I’ve still got a rice pudding to make,’ she said. ‘Why are you wearing those silly glasses?’

The Green Meanie took them off. ‘It’s my cunning disguise.’

His mother snorted. ‘You think you’re going to fool anybody like that?’

‘As a matter of fact, your head teacher just gave me a job.’

Mrs Sponge stared. ‘As a teacher?’

‘Naturally.’

‘But you hate children. You told me they were disgusting maggots who should be boiled in oil.’

‘You’re forgetting, Mother – these maggots have superpowers,’ said the Green Meanie. ‘With the right sort of guidance, who knows what they could do?’

‘You mean one day they could be superheroes?’ asked Mrs Sponge.

The Green Meanie raised his eyebrows. ‘Or supervillains,’ he said.

Mrs Sponge sat down heavily on the only available seat, which was the toilet.

‘Why not? Think of it,’ said the Green Meanie. ‘With an army of super-brats, I could do anything. I could rid the world of fat-headed do-gooders like Captain Courageous. I would be unstoppable! MWUH HA! HA! HA!’

His evil laugh was cut short by an unpleasant sensation. Looking down, he realised he had trodden in a saucepan of mashed potato. He removed his foot with a sucking sound.
