Fantastic showing at Relay Day today. I hope everyone who actually attended the event had a great afternoon and enjoyed this year's unique challenges. Team One especially nailed the teamwork aspect of it, if I do say so myself.

[RANKED HEROES]

In the interest of public safety and inter-agency cooperation, I wanted to share information received last night with you all. One of my mentees ran into a former classmate from the Academy who apparently disappeared with feelings of disillusionment, and seems to be making a reappearance as a vigilante. I've been told that Go-Go, one of your mentees at WonderCorp, also had an encounter with her. Her name is Hannah Liu and her power is intangibility.

Anything else, Mike?

[ALL CURRENT MENTORS]

Please be advised that a former classmate of our latest group of new recruits has been spotted on the street as a vigilante recently, and may be reaching out to or attempting to contact other classmates of hers. Her name is Hannah Liu.

[EDIT: MOLLY]

Did you happen to notice if Ms. Liu had any injuries when you saw her?

	Eli asked me some tough questions, and I didn't have the answers. Trying to figure them out is giving me some existential doubts. So I was up till four am looking at foster dogs Beck and I might get tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I mean. Like. Romantic? Feelings? Maybe? I don't know. We're not keeping it. Just fostering. So that they can get on their feet and figure out where they're supposed to be for the rest of their lives. I guess that's the hardest part, is where they go at first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wait, wait, hang on a second. I need to clarify: are you saying that Eli asked you if you had romantic feelings, and you weren't sure how to answer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, he asked me if I was in love with Beck. Or wanted to date Beck? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] Ah. I see how that could be complicated, yes. Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Juddeus. persist 2020-01-19 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, just. I mean, the answer is no, but also I don't know. Should I want to date Beck? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Juddeus. telepathetic 2020-01-19 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think there's any "should" here, Jude. If the answer is no, then that's how you feel. There's no reason you have to feel any differently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Juddeus. persist 2020-01-19 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	I mean, the should comes in because I don't know when people know that they want to be in a relationship with somebody. How do you know that? Caleb tried to explain it and some of it applies and some of it doesn't, and he told me not to worry, but. How do I not worry if something is just, ~~you know,~~ broken in me?

[...]

First of all, Jude, you are not broken. There is nothing wrong with feeling the way you feel. Just because you haven't felt that way yet doesn't mean you won't ever, but also, even if you never feel that way about anyone, there's nothing wrong with that, either. Some people aren't interested in romantic or monogamous relationships. It's not a defect.

That having been said, I think that you might not have the answers now, but there is [...] sometimes a moment of clarity. Be patient with yourself. Be kinder to yourself.

	It's one of the hardest things to ask of anyone, honestly. That's why we have people in our lives to remind us of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I appreciate it. Also, on a separate note, I believe I may have overstepped my bounds with Beck and made her uncomfortable. You don't need to apologize to her from me or anything of the sort, I'd just like to make sure she's okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Juddeus. persist 2020-01-19 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. I'll check in with her. She probably just doesn't know what to do with being looked after. (Reply to this) (Parent)
