Superpowers | Elton & The Ironist
@dxctorxwho ‘s Ironist asked Elton...
“Do you think taking a spider in an MRI machine will give you superpowers?”
“Well, there are certain levels of radiation in a MRI. Probably not enough. And the spider-- I mean in Spiderman’s case, was already radioactive, so I guess you could just get the spider radioactive by some means and then hope it bites you and hope you get superpowers and not... just die of a radioactive spider bite.”
Elton prattled on about superpowers and the like before looking up at the other man in the record shop, “Why? Have a MRI co...” The words fell away completely along with his goddamn mind, as he was 99% sure he was staring in the face of one mister Jeff Lynne of only his all time favorite band in all of existence. The other 1% was currently trying to remember his own fucking name.
“You’re my biggest fan-- I’m! I’m-- Elton, I’m your biggest fan, Elton Pope. I mean, that’s my name not-- You don’t care, you’re Jeff Lynne! But you know that-- I’m going to shut up now, I’m-- Um.” Elton took a deep breath. “Hello.”
Good god. Elton inwardly groaned and thought what could be more embarrassing and then realized he was holding a rather nice copy of ‘Eldorado’ in his hands that he was planning to by to replace his somewhat junky LP.
