Superpowers

Brimah pulls up a chair close to Kojo's desk and sits down next to him. He doesn't say anything.
Kojo pauses his typing to look up at his work bestie, waiting patiently for him to form the words.
Brimah finally pipes up, "I think I have super powers."
"You don't say!" Kojo rolls his eyes and goes back to typing.
"No, seriously. You remember Trish had a date 3 weeks ago?"
"Yeah... "
"But..."
"But she didn't go because the guy called to cancel."
"And you remember last week, her date?"
"Yeah, the thunder stor..." Kojo's eyes widen in mockery, "no!"
Brimah nods with a satisfied smirk on his face.
Kojo's face turns serious again, "Brimah! Pure coincidence. Let it happen a 3rd time, then we can talk. Also, why don't you just tell her you like her?"
Brimah clutches his imaginary pearls, aghast.
"Oh no no no, my other superpower is fucking up potential relationships. I'll love from afar, thank you very much."
With that he dramatically coasts his chair back to his desk.
