Adventures in supersiting

''Don't touch your armpits. Don't laser your brother. Don't take over the world. Don't be like Max. Don't have more children. Good night, everybody!" and mom blasts the door with her electricity powers and phoebe turns around. 

"wow, mom still got it." phoebe says. 

"where are you going? I need you and Max to babysit tonight." Mom says. 

"what?" Both Max and Phoebe say. 

"Mom, I was going to Cherry's tonight." Phoebe says as she and Max make their way over to our parents. 

"yeah, and I was gonna not babysit." Max says. 

"Well, now you're not not babysitting. Wait." Mom says looking at dad and he nods and she turns back to them. 

"Yeah, that's right." she says as they walk away. 

"well, uh, can a neighbor watch Billy and Nora?" Phoebe asks. 

"yeah." Max says. 

"and risk the kids exposing their powers to a non–superhero?" dad asks phoebe sighs. 

"They won't they're really responsible now." Max nods and we all look at Billy and Nora. 

"Dance! Dance, I say!" Nora shouts at Billy while zapping him while he tries to dodge using his speed. 

"ow! Cut it out!" Billy yells. 

"Ha ha ha!" nora yells she's kinda scary but I'm scarier. We look away from them and back at mom and dad. If I were them I wouldn't trust those two with a neighbor either. 

"please, mom, cherry is the only friend i've managed to make since we moved here." Phoebe states 

"that's one more than i thought she'd make." me and Max say i smile and fist bump him. 

"I'm sorry, honey but your father and I gave up crime fighting so you kids could have a normal childhood." mom says.

 "that's right which is too bad, 'cause i still got it!'" Dad says and I roll my eyes. 

"Yeah, and a little extra." Mom says hugging dad and I roll my eyes. 

"This is the worst. You know sometimes I wish we didn't even have superpowers." Phoebe says sitting down pouting sometimes i wish that too that's why i don't use mines unless necessary. 

"I'm sorry Phoebe." Mom says kissing Phoebe's hair and Phoebe rubs it.

"Come on, thank you." Mom says. 

"to the thunder-Mobile!" Dad shouts. 

"minivan." Mom corrects him 

"to the thunder-minivan." Dad says walking out the door. 

"no, it's just a mini- whatever." Mom says waving it off and leaving Max gets up and sighs. 

"How can I become the world's greatest supervillain if I have to babysit Zippy and Lazergirl?" Max says. 

"You can use that to your advantage, you know." I say and Max then realises what I mean. 

"Wait a minute. You guys are way too cool for babysitting. How would you like to assist me on my latest project?" Max says. 

"sure." Billy says. 

"guess so." Nora says. 

"Alright. Phoebe! You deserve a girls night. So why don't I babysit Billy and Nora while you invite your friend over here?" Max says I lean on Max and he wraps an arm around me.

 "Are you nuts? What about dad's number one rule?" phoebe asks. 

"Everything goes better with gravy?" i ask she looks at me like im dumb.
