The Alien Will See You Now, Sir. by mosaix
"You want to work for us? Doing what?"
"Saving you."
"From what?"
"From us. From humans. You should leave – now."
A wry smile. "You are so dangerous?"
"Oh yes. More dangerous than you can imagine."
"But we have conquered half the galaxy."
"Have you slaughtered your own kind?"
"Our own kind?"
"Nailed them to crosses?"
"Nailed!"
"Burnt them alive?"
"What!"
"Shot, gassed and incinerated millions?"
"Stop, stop. I had no idea! When can you start?".

Little Wonder by DavidEvilOverlord
"I work all day,” said the superhero. “You can’t even make dinner?”
She ticked off tasks on her fingers. "Weekly groceries? Done. Washing? Done. Ironing? Done. Children to and from kindergarten? Done? Supervillain? Fridged. Dinner? No.”
“What?”
“Dinner?”
“No, before that.”
“Ironing?”
“After.”
“Children?”
“Supervillain?”
“Overkill. Frying pan to the face, carving knives everywhere else, into the fridge.”
“So, no dinner?”
“Not unless you’re taking me to dinner. I’m not Wonder Woman.”
