Chapter 65

I chuckled. “As if you had much of that to begin with.”

“Bitch,” came the reply.

“And amen to that.”

I heard her laugh inside my head. “Are you dead, my love? This some sort of spirit world trick?”

“I was already dead to begin with, Dara. So, no, no trick. Radiation leak is more like it,” I replied. “I’m a Superqueen now.”

The harmonious laughter returned. “And you’re using your powers for good instead of evil? Now there’s a switch. Did hell freeze over, oh wifely husband of mine?”

“Nope, just my heart,” I retorted. “In any case, this thing you’re hearing is sort of like a radio wave. Short distance.”

“How short?”

“Hmm, maybe fifteen feet. Directly, give or take, below you.”

She sucked in her breath, if only in her head. “Won’t you be spotted?”

“And in boy drag,” I amended with.

Again she laughed. “Will I even recognize you then?”

“To hear it told, I’m quite handsome this way.”

“Says who?” she was all too quick to reply with.
