Clearly she wasn't going to win this particular 'argument', even though she really didn't mind. It was nice feeling as though she were important because there were times that got lost in translation when one travelled with a mad man in a box who saved the world on a daily basis. That sometimes it felt she was along for the ride and nothing else. Usually she was pretty good at keeping her head up and feeling like she was a part of it. Sometimes though she wasn't so sure.
"Well, I'll always be happy to be your hero." Even impossible heroes who travelled in a box needed their own heroes it seemed. And if that was to be her role? If she was to be that for Troy and her dad and John, well, she wouldn't be upset. They had all been there for her even when she didn't want them to be, so she would gladly return the favour. Even if it seemed mostly to be only in the dreams.
