"Come on Katie! We're going to be late!" (Y/n) Kane stood impatiently by his sister's bedroom door in a good old fashioned Superman costume.
"Coming!" Kate Kane replied before opening the door and walking out a minute later.

"I uh- I thought you were going to wear your batgirl suit" (y/n) spoke as he crossed his arms.
"Batwoman" Kate corrected, she knew her brother loved to get that wrong. "And I decided wearing my own suit isn't the best idea... so this"
"The skirt is kinda short and you're showing a lot of cleavage" that earned a glare from his sister. "Fine, you want to go to shul dressed like a shiksa then be my guest. I'm not standing next to you though"
"I'm wearing a wig" Kate shrugged as if that made up for any other shortcomings. "Now let's go hear the Megillah"
—————————————————————
Purim was one of the happier Jewish holidays. While some holidays were to commemorate genocides or fighting off conquerors this one was about one of the times the Jewish people triumphed and were accepted by the king of the time and allowed to live when they were supposed to be killed.
This holiday was celebrated by wearing extravagant costumes, the giving of gift baskets, and feasts. There was also lots of wine. It was a very happy time of year. To start all that off they had to go to shul, otherwise referred to as temple or synagogue, to hear the story read from the Megillah.

"I still don't understand why they can't read it in English" Kate Kane leaned over to whisper to her brother where he was sat in his Superman costume.
(Y/n) just shook his head in response. He jokingly thought that he wished they had gone to the adult reading instead of the kids one. Then he wouldn't have had to sit next to his sister since the men and women of the congregation were split and stood on opposing sides of the room.
Kate was about to whisper something else when the Rabbi reading the Megillah said the name "Haman"
In response to the name being read from the scroll all the children, and (y/n), in the room yelled "Boooooo!" and shook noise makers. Haman was the villain of the story and this was the traditional response, a way to have the children involved in the story and enjoying themselves.
Kate couldn't help but smile as she saw that her brother was still so involved in the ceremony. After her father's death Kate had been hesitant to remain with the religion but seeing her brother's enthusiasm assured her that coming here with him had been the right choice.
