Anyone got an aspirin? There's a lot to say about someone who hits you over the head from behind. Let's just hope he and I never cross paths again. I think I need to lie down.

-- Please tell me you handled some of those guys?
-- Also, are you okay?
[Sully]
-- Maybe I should have stayed put.
-- Probably would have hurt a lot less...
[Anne]
-- Are you okay?
-- I hope you stayed safe during all of that.

Remember what I said about things being safe here? I was wrong. Completely, 100% wrong about that. I have no idea what's going on with the superheroes here, but it doesn't make me feel safe anymore. In fact, nothing but myself makes me feel safe. You wanna know why? I killed three people today... I mean, I think I did? Rocket gave me a gun a few months ago when that freaky zombie head was floating around, and I never really used it. But today, I did. People started grabbing at me, and they had guns too. Big ones. And before I could think about it, I shot one of the women in the chest. It wasn't fun, but it felt good. It felt good not to be helpless and dependent on someone to keep me alive.
The fact that people leave here so much drove me not to. I don't want to leave or die and I don't plan on it either. So when two other guys came at me, I flipped the gun to the energy setting Rocky told me about and I let 'em have it. Adios, guys! They flew a good ten feet back before they slammed into a wall. I didn't feel like a girl anymore. I didn't feel fragile, innocent, or weak. I felt strong. Empowered. We'll ignore the fact that some guy hit me over the head when I wasn't looking because that certainly wasn't badass, but I don't think I'm going back to being a little girl ever again.
