"Right-a-roony!" Harley praised not at all surprised that Superman was catching on and rolling with the punches. He may not be crazy, but if the papers were to be believed his life was still wild.
"All around the world little boys and girls have fears, nightmares, nasty icky shadows that lurk and make them tremble under their monogrammed bedsheets. So what do they do to be brave and find the courage to face the night? They think of characters! Figures of myth they love and adore! People who make them feel safe!" Leaning closer with a crooked grin and wide eyes she added conspiratorially "And sometimes they make a terrible mistake and think of people like me instead."
Bursting out with laughter at her own joke she rummaged around int he sleigh and produced a bag full of red, white and green candies, popping a green one into her mouth and sucking on it before offering the bag to the boys.
"So because reality is all messed up and broken or whatever, when the kids want us here badly enough...POP! We appear! And now we're drafted into this war against the nightmares that have also been POPPED into reality."
And that was...as far as Harley considered it, the basics.
"And we're led by this handsome devil, as well as the Easter Bunny, and Jack Frost, and I think the Tooth Fairy but I might have imagined that. I know I saw this unicorn with a little fairy following her around...and there's these kids from Oregon, and this geeky guy who I think may have watched every TV show ever, and there's the Yeti and the elves..." And what had started off somewhat helpful was veering off into rambling territory. Time to reign her in Rich.
