that's a hell of a responsibility to take on for one person.

[bestversion]

Then it's a good thing I'm not on my own.

[nepotis]

so what's your herosona?
Mom's Food Gal?

[bestversion]

It's Ms. Marvel.

[nepotis]

you know what? I was going to make fun of it no matter what you said, but that name actually doesn't suck.

[bestversion]

Thanks. I think.

[nepotis]

[ Sorry, Marvel. This is the best you're going to get from him. ]

so what does Ms. Marvel do, besides be marvelous and eat her mom's home cooking?

[bestversion]

Fight crime, help with community stuff. I did roadworks as my last big mission.

It's not always exciting. Sometimes it's just. Being there when someone needs help.

[nepotis]

roadwork? what, like a crossing guard in a costume?

[bestversion]

No, the roads got flooded and I had to help ferry people safely.

Bad infrastructure is just as villainous.

[nepotis]

if not more so.

I appreciate the bona fides. it sounds like you're the real deal. not all "heroes" are so helpful.

[bestversion]

[ she doesn't know what to say to that. she's seeing the downsides of it. the whole civil war escapade. bruce banner's death. ]

I try to be.
