“I think they do it to protect the people they love?” He was pretty sure that was the reason anyway. If people knew who the heroes were out of their masks or in Superman’s case behind the glasses then all the people they loved would be in danger every day. Which would make heroing be a really hard thing to do. Probably make it impossible. “But Superman does it different than the others because he doesn’t wear a mask. I think like all the other heroes wear masks. Or at least the thing over their eyes.” He couldn’t remember what it was called...
“But they don’t have to hide here from us on the boards, but I think they still have to hide when they go out and save people because people don’t know they’re real?” Which was a difficult concept for Henry to understand. He kind of felt bad for all the other people who loved heroes and didn’t know that they were real. He was still reeling over the fact he had their autographs and even photos with some of them.
