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.

	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)

	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)

	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)

	While I can see the importance for female role models, I have not precisely put myself out there in the dreams for girls to know who I am. (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)

	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)
