Well, I could not stand by forever, it would seem. A group of terrorists intended to set off a bomb in a courthouse in London, but I stopped them and saved the people they'd taken hostage. Apparently I can move faster than bullets from an assault rifle. And the looks on those men's faces when I stopped them and saved everyone was rather priceless.

Though I cannot deny there is a palpable vacuum in the world with Superman being dead. There is more chaos and fear in the air as the world mourns. I have a sense of dread about what is yet to come.

	Quick question, doll. Just how did ol red undies die? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Fighting Doomsday. He stabbed Doomsday with a spear made with a kryptonite tip and Doomsday stabbed him through the chest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay so it's grimdark Earth, got it! Yeah that was a shitty day, totes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To put it mildly, yes it was. Though I tried to not get involved in the fight. I was going to leave, even having gone so far as to get on a plane. But after seeing images of Doomsday rampaging in some part of Gotham, I just couldn't sit by any longer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Considering this is the 'grimdark Earth,' as you call it, I suppose that I am a bit darker as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is what I used to be. I learned the hard way that the world is a very dark and unjust place. Of course, it did not help that I was raised to believe that the world was an idyllic place. Having that childish worldview shattered almost all at once was a rather rude awakening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Even the shiny happy world is a shithole, but that's just how it is on these bitches of earths But you an' a couple others, always beacons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cannotstandby 2018-05-25 07:06 am UTC (link)
	It's rather hard to be a beacon when you refuse to be part of the world. Sometimes I wonder if I should have simply stayed on Themyscira. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then we'd all be dead! Leaving was the right thing to do. You're an inspiration! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cannotstandby 2018-05-25 07:16 am UTC (link)
	An inspiration to who? Bruce is one of only two people who even know what I am, let alone what I am capable of doing. And even having saved those people at the courthouse, I still have no wish to step into the light as a hero. Superman was the beacon, not me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps, but it is not as though I was seen by anyone other than Superman, Batman and Lois Lane. The courthouse, however, is a different story. There were children there that I saved from a hail of bullets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cannotstandby 2018-05-25 07:57 am UTC (link)
	Yes, it was. And it was satisfying to see the disbelieving look I got from the terrorist when I stopped all of the bullets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wait, you know Superman? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cannotstandby 2018-05-25 06:18 am UTC (link)
	Yes, though it is more accurate to say I know of him. I only met him once, when I fought alongside him to stop Doomsday from attacking cities and hurting innocent people. He died during that battle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fluffy_cop 2018-05-27 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	He died? I didn't know he could! I'm sorry Diana. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cannotstandby 2018-05-28 07:59 am UTC (link)
	He had to use a spear that had a tip made from kryptonite to kill Doomsday so he was weakened when he stabbed the creature with it. Superman was stabbed through the chest. Had he not been so close to the kryptonite, I imagine he may have survived. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fluffy_cop 2018-05-28 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	At least he died as a hero and protecting everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cannotstandby 2018-05-30 02:46 am UTC (link)
	He did. He loved Earth, and he gave his life to save it. He reminded me a little of someone I knew long ago who died in a similar way, protecting everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fluffy_cop 2018-05-30 07:30 am UTC (link)
	I'm so sorry. I can only imagine it's hard to lose people in the same way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cannotstandby 2018-05-30 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	It is. I closed myself off for a century after I lost Steve. My dream self is still closed off, and preferring to ignore the world around her. She has reacted to it a couple times, but otherwise she prefers to ignore it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope your dream self is able to come around with time. You know what they say...time heals all wounds! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cannotstandby 2018-06-02 01:57 am UTC (link)
	I hope so as well. She has a potential friend in Bruce Wayne if she'd just let him in. I think she is afraid of letting people in only to ultimately see them die if they are mortal. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sounds to me like you got involved at the right time for those people. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cannotstandby 2018-05-28 08:21 am UTC (link)
	Indeed it did. I only had twelve seconds to stop the bomb from blowing up four city blocks of London, but I succeeded in saving them all. (Reply to this) (Parent)
