Commentary:
They were here to save Avi from being pooped on.
This 6-pager is a crossover with WHO KILLED THE CENTURION?, my friend David's novel, which I, as its editor, contributed enough to that I have a cover credit. The story is his, many of the jokes are mine. It's available on Amazon now.

"On it," says Eddie Gagnon.
"Oop," Avi steps back a little, but stays near Eddie Gagnon and looks on in awe as he puts up a seafoam-green shield — his superpower. As they settle into the shield, they look up, as a white substance splats down on top of it. Bird shit.
"Oh my god," Avi facepalms as the shield dissipates and, as Eddie Gagnon steps aside, continues, yelling "The -- stupid -- bird!!"
"They're here to save you," Aquila says. "From being pooped on."
"They were here to save me from being pooped on."
"They were here to save you from being pooped on."
They look at each other, lightly confuddled.
