“That’s your costume?”
Molly looked down at what she was wearing, making sure that she hadn’t forgotten any parts of it. “Why, what’s wrong with it?”
Tony coughed. “Nothing... really. It’s just, rather conservative, don’t you think?”
“Why?” Molly asks. “Is there a written rule that female heroes always have to be scantily clad?”
“I could probably find somewhere-”
“No.” She says, turning back to the full length mirror hanging on the inside of her closet door. “I want to wear pants, I’ll wear pants. Seriously, have you ever tried to do a kick in a skirt? I already have a belt, I don’t need another one.” She smoothes out her hair from where it was starting to get frizzy under the goggles.
“Spandex then.” Tony suggests, leaning against the headboard of her bed.
“Pass. Do you have any idea how much shit I have to secret about my person? Can’t hide a heat-ray under spandex.”
“I thought only villains had rays.”
Molly glared at her best friend via the reflection of the mirror. “Fine. Can’t hide a two pound uber-turbo-charged hair dryer under spandex.”
“Y’could try.”
Molly gave Tony a look to indicate how little she appreciated his humour at the moment, and went back to surveying her outfit.
As you might be able to tell, it's about superheroes. But it's also about life and love and following your dreams, even if no one thinks you'll make it.
In a world where all superheroes have superpowers, Molly Maldonado is trying to break the mold by being the first certified hero without any. All while finishing high school.
...It's better than it sounds, promise.
