Super powers

I wish SuperD had X-ray vision. It would have come in handy yesterday. We were convinced that his arch nemesis, The Red Menace, had stolen his keys. The evil villain ate mine. Months ago, I tried to unlock The Menace's trunk, and the key snapped right off in the lock. Since I'm not blessed with super strength, I blame the sinister car.

And yesterday, we thought the villain had struck again. We looked all over the house. SuperD's keys were nowhere to be found. We searched for hours. SuperD was distraught. The Menace drained his powers. We did not want to pay someone to break into the car. The Red Menace would not win!

Then at bedtime, SuperD suddenly exclaimed as we walked down the hallway. The villain was not to blame. You see, SuperD clips his keys to the belt loop of his pants, and at some point in time (probably when he relieved himself), he accidentally tucked his keys into his waistband! 

This whole problem would have been avoided had he not been wearing his mild-mannered computer tech disguise. His superhero costume doesn't have belt loops!
