Okay, so going near the castle is a really not great idea. Nobody do that.

	I could help. I have the power to do that. I should do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe. Just... be careful? I believe in you. No matter what. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's a girl on the network that says we have to kill the queen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The queen? Wait... wonderland... the Red Queen? Holy crap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, on a few levels. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know what to think about any of this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Situation is dire, the world is in peril, and we have no clue what to actually do to stop it. Sounds like a crazy time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cosmiccastaway 2013-02-22 05:55 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, no kidding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, Lorna? Be careful. No dying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cosmiccastaway 2013-02-22 06:12 am UTC (link)
	Not planning on it. I guess I should see if that girl has any ideas how to get in and. . . do whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hesnohero 2013-02-22 06:20 am UTC (link)
	yeah. Let me know if you need, you know, any help storming the castle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd be able to use my powers better than me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hesnohero 2013-02-22 06:26 am UTC (link)
	... no.Really, no. You are a smart, creative person. You can do this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not brave enough for this. If it was just running around tripping my brains out it would be one thing, but this is darker than anything I've had to deal with before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna hesnohero 2013-02-22 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Then... come home. And let me do this. This isn't something you have to do. I'm the soldier, Lorna. You don't ever have to be that person and you shouldn't force yourself to be that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex cosmiccastaway 2013-02-22 07:17 am UTC (link)
	I have the ability to help, though. What if people get hurt because I decided I couldn't handle this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

But the point is that you are not a soldier, or a hero. Unless you want to be one. They wont get hurt because you don't do this. This city is filled with dreamers, and we have freaking Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, and more here.

This situation wont be a tragedy because you didn't step up.

If you want to be a hero, you can, but if you do not, then don't make yourself. Xavier was an asshole, and an idiot.

Hulk isn't really a sterling example of awesome superheroness. Or Iron Man, really.

Neither of those things make him wrong. Not about this kind of thing, at least, though we could probably easily decide he has the ethics of, well, a spoiled rich guy.

But that's the point! Spoiled rich guys don't help people with the influence and power they have. That's what makes them so bad. I have power, and I might just be a stoner running a marginally legal business, but I can help and I should.

I'm just afraid to, is all.

	Do you want to try to help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex cosmiccastaway 2013-02-22 08:20 am UTC (link)
	I'm not sure. But I don't want to sit around if I can help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna hesnohero 2013-02-22 08:22 am UTC (link)
	Then it's time to go on a quest. I wont let you fail, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex cosmiccastaway 2013-02-22 08:24 am UTC (link)
	Okay. I don't have a costume. Oh wait, I guess I do. It's pretty skimpy, but that seems right, somehow. I'm insane, aren't I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna hesnohero 2013-02-22 08:33 am UTC (link)
	It's okay. In the closet I have kevlar for both of us, then we can go grab the all terrain vehicle and pick up Alice. Time to go waltzing in Wonderland. (Reply to this) (Parent)
