HOTH: DAY 7
Hello? Your paper plane is mine now, mystery thrower, so I hope it wasn't meant for someone else? I have a letter, a map, a sending stone that isn't much of a stone at all, and a very basic understanding of what in the hells is going on right now. So I've managed to go from world-ending catastrophe to, uh, pocket dimension-ending catastrophe? I suppose that leaves me with two real questions:

How bad is it on a scale from one to ancient dragons? And has anyone seen my sister? Looks like me, but with a braid. Likes to shoot things with arrows?

	Sure. My sister is kind of an ass so I think I'd like to try a brother. I usually just do my headband. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've only been a brother to one person, but she hasn't ever seriously tried to kill me, so... maybe I'm all right? We'll give it a go and if I end up with an arrow through my ear, I probably deserved it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I do an arrow in the ear, you went full on evil. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I go full on evil, please arrow me in the ear. Nice to meet you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mean, it would just be to take you down while we tried to fix you, but permission's always nice. I'm Kate Bishop. Sometimes known as Hawkeye. If you're going to be my brother, then I should know your name too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. That's more mercy than I expected, which should probably worry me. Ah, sorry, my manners are shit. I'm Vax. Is Kate good or are you trying to get a heroic something going where people know you most by your deeds and a nickname? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Really? What kind of world do you come form? Where I'm from, there are superhero vigilantes. I'm not a superhero, but I am a vigilante, so I use the codename Hawkeye. But I'm known so it doesn't really matter. Just kind of one of the things the cool kids do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The kind of world where evil generally meets a violent end, hopefully before it goes unchecked and digs itself right into the ground of a place. But it's mainly that you're brand new to me and judging how someone handles themselves faced with evil isn't exactly one of those things you can pick up on the surface, you know?

I get it. Kind of. I mean I don't really understand what makes a superhero different from a hero and why that's a specific set of vigilante, but codenames? I get that. And I'm going to tell you the urge to assure you you're one of the cool kids is there, but I'm not going to say it say it because that's already venturing too close to corny brotherdom and I won't do that to you in the first hour.

Well, the world I'm from, we give people chances to change. It doesn't always take, but everyone makes mistakes. They should get a chance to do better.

Superhero heroes usually have some sort of power that normal people don't. Like super strength or flight or telekinesis. I have a friend who makes star-shaped portals that can take you anywhere in the multiverse. I don't have any powers, except my awesomely amazing abilities when it comes to archery.

Of course that's fair. I've given second chances, but I've also put evil down without a second thought. I can't think too much about whether it was right or wrong, but all that means is that you're probably a better person than I am.

Archery is a super power to me because I'm pure shit with a bow. But the rest, where I'm from, is just magic. Not everyone can do it, but I could never call a single one of them that I know a superhero to their face or the ego in some cases would be completely unmanageable. Question, though - are the star-shaped portals that way for aesthetics or is it a part of the whole magical power package? Like could she make them any shape she wanted?
