			Fixed a small typo. I agree with Tony's suggested change, although I kind of liked the bit where Sarah gradually gets more and more insulting to Wally. Some way to combine the two?

			Joel runs a hand back through his hair.

			JOEL: Whoa, Sarah, I...I had no idea.

			Sarah takes a deep breath.

			SARAH: Of course you didn't! Nobody does! And nobody can! Joel, this cannot come out. It just can't.

			JOEL: Okay, okay. I get it.

			SARAH: Alright. Now, your turn to spill. What's going on?

			JOEL: Oh...actually, kind of a funny coincidence. There's another supervillain who's going to be at open day, passing himself off as my legal guardian. I don't know what he's up to, but he's prepared to kill anyone who gets in his way.

			He pauses.

			JOEL: Not really all that funny, now I come to think about it.

			SARAH: Perfect. Just perfect. We have to keep him away from my folks. What if they recognised each other?

			JOEL: Actually, getting them to meet up at some point might not be a bad idea. If they start talking, we might get an idea of what he's up to.

			SARAH: Wait, what?

			JOEL: And of course, it'd be the perfect opportunity for you to practise your Little Miss Evil act and throw them off the scent-

			SARAH: Joel, what is this? I'm telling you things I haven't trusted anybody else with, and all you can think about is how to best work it to your advantage?

			JOEL: [i]Our[/i] advantage.

			SARAH: That's not even remotely the point. You're trying so hard to be a hero that you've forgotten how to be a decent person.

			JOEL: I'm only-

			SARAH: Exemplar must be very proud of you.

			For once, Joel doesn't have an answer. Sarah shakes her head, picks up her bag and walks out of the room.
