Food is a close second,\u201d he retorted in mock defensiveness, giving a sassy scoff and laying a hand on his chest as if he were offended. Johnny thought about the suggestion, dropping his hand to his side. \u201cI guess it just depends on where we\u2019re flying. You can fly, right?\u201d he asked, not remembering much about her.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOh yes. Possibly faster than you. Shall we try it?\u201d Summer balanced a little flame on her fingertip, smiling. \u201cPossibly we can investigate those other things you think about later.\u201d She stepped toward the exit, checking over her shoulder to see if he would follow.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Johnny knew he talked to her for a reason. Without a moment\u2019s hesitation he followed after, pondering her last words. God, that sounded tempting. Good thing Johnny wasn\u2019t a stranger to temptation, let alone someone to fight against it. \u201cNot to brag, but I\u2019m 99.9% sure I\u2019m faster,\u201d he retorted cockily, a challenging grin on his face. \u201cWith those odds, my bet\u2019s not on you proving me wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve never seen me fly flat out, though,\u201d she pointed out. \u201cI do SAR. There\u2019s little reason for me to go as fast as I can. What\u2019ll you bet, then, Johnny?\u201d They popped out into the cold sunshine, and she tilted her head up to look at the sky.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll bet that threetwoonego!\u201d he exclaimed bolting up into the sky, flames curling around his wrists and quickly licking up his arms and chest till they consumed his entire body. The fire flickered as it ate up his entire outer layer of clothing and radiated heat, the pure degree of it making the air around him shimmer. \u201cCOME ON, SLOWPOKE!\u201d he called down, the transformation only taking near ten seconds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>His anticipation gave him away, and Summer laughed when he took off, only half a second behind him. She waited until they were both well up before she manifested her wings, answering his call. &#8220;Who&#8217;s a slowpoke?&#8221; A few curls of flame swirled around her laughing face. &#8220;Now be serious, Johnny. Make a real bet and stop cheating.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>keep-calm-and-flame-on: iamthefirechild: keep-calm-and-flame-on: iamthefirechild: keep-calm-and-flame-on: \u201cYou know, I may be lecherous and a bit of a playboy, but it\u2019s not the only thing I think about.
