*Ding*
“I’m not ready for this”, Steve lamented to no-one in particular as his microwave dinged in a judgemental tone. It was Steve’s fifth Pizza this week, and it was getting increasingly difficult to look the delivery guy in the eye.
What annoyed him more was Uber Eats kept assigning him the same delivery guy every time! He was paying the extra €3 to order from Uber-eats just to avoid this situation with the delivery-guy from the local pizza joint. Maybe he should consider Deliveroo for future deliveries?

But he could not help himself; when he started the super-hero life, he swore to treat himself to a pizza every time he saved the world. Recently, the world was in constant peril, and you don’t go back on a promise just because things get difficult.
To be fair to Steve (which we should be; he just saved us from a giant rampaging robot, by punching him into space with his super-strength! If needed, we can be unfair to Steve as long as the unfairness is in his favour), if there was one thing he could burn, it was the pizza calories with his super-metabolism. If there was another thing he could burn, it was everything else. He had those laser eye thingies that could burn everything, and make everyone feel warm inside when looking into them.
Steve finished his pizza, planned the next day and put it in his calendar. He kept a flexible hour for world-saving, and also penned down 25 minutes for meditation, which he decided to take from his “cooking” time. If he saved the world, it would be pizza night, and if he did not, he would have that flexible hour to cook.
He then remembered he forgot to ask the robot’s motivation to destroy the city. He made a mental note to be more like the super-heroes from movies, and discuss philosophies with people trying to kill him. If nothing else, he might finally make another friend out of this. A friend he has to kill, but who was he to judge his friends for being dead.
As the radio he was listening to from 15 km away with his super-hearing played the last song for the night, Steve too decided to call it a day and retire to bed. But not before brushing his teeth.
Remember kids, dental hygiene is a must if you want to save the world.
Good night.
