-A new face has appeared! At least new to almost everyone of the Legionnaires save for one. And boy does she have a ten mile wide smile. She's practically bounding in her seat as she starts to record the video. Fortunately for her, these devices aren't impenetrably high tech. Hell, compared to spellphones, they're downright antiquated by being an actual physical object. Still, those blue eyes of her (what was with the odd rings in her irises?) were shining with what could only be described as wonder.-

"To the Legion of Superheroes I make this solemn pledge: To use my powers for good. To fight for justice and protect the innocent. To aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe.

I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am Miss Guns-n-Roses!"

It all sounds so romantic! The life of a super hero! I can hardly believe it! If there are three jobs every girl wants in life, they are being a queen, being a rock star, and being a super hero, and while I've come really close to two of those, this third one is right at my doorstep! I'm already here, even!

Who knows, in between rescuing cute alien animals and saving innocent people from danger and evil, I might even finally find MR. Guns-n-roses! -She's starting to talk faster, like really fast...- Can you imagine? If I were the wife of a super hero, with both of us being super heroes, we'd become the ultimate power couple! The literal ultimate power couple! Our honeymoon would be on a distant planet with the most gorgeous of sunsets over a glowing ocean, but be interrupted by a sudden attack from a dastardly, scheming villain! He'd cackle, -She deepens her voice throwing her head back and turning her hands upwards with fingers hooked- "MWA HA HA HA! I FINALLY HAVE YOU, MR AND MRS GUNS-N-ROSES! PREPARE TO SUFFER!"

But our love is too strong for them! In a long, blistering battle, we destroy the evil with the marvelous full strength of love between husband and wife! A bond unbreakable by the most terrorizing villains of the galaxy! We'll stand as a testament to love, and when the dust settles, we'll hold each other closely! Mr. Guns-n-Roses will say to me -Another deep voice, and a bad British accent, apparently?- "Darling, I don't just fight for the galaxy, I fight for you, and nothing can take you away from me~"

-... Her nose is bleeding. A lot. Oh god.- So perfect...

A-anyways, hello! -She quickly grabs a tissue to dab up that rush of blood.- I'm actually Elphelt Valentine! It's nice to meet you all, and I hope we can all work together for a better tomorrow~!

You know you don't need a guy to be the most you you can be, right?

[marryonette]

But how can I be a wife without a husband? You can't just be a wife on your own, silly!

[a_shadow]

Why would you want to be a wife to begin with? It's just being beholden to someone else who thinks they know better than you what's good for you, the way I see it. There's no point to it.

[marryonette]

I... I don't mean to be rude, but you don't sound like you've had good experiences with romance.

[a_shadow]

I haven't had any experiences with romance. Not like that.

[marryonette]

Oh! In that case, I can probably help you! I make a great cupid! -El. Stop.-

[a_shadow]

No thanks. I know enough about romance and everything involved to know I want nothing to do with it.

[marryonette]

Huh? But you just said you had no experience!

[a_shadow]

Not personal experience.

It's complicated to explain.

[marryonette]

That's okay! I'm a good listener!

T-that is if you want to talk about it...

[muroieda]

She means ya can take a wife instead!!

[No she doesn't.]

Ya can be a wife AND have a wife! That way the both of ya get to be a wife. Win-win! Ehehehehe~

[marryonette]

I've considered that before, but... I'm not sure my womanhood could handle it!

[muroieda]

Whaddya mean by that?

[marryonette]

What if my wife...

... is a better wife than I am!!?

[muroieda]

Ya implyin' ya would rather have a relationship that doesn't have a li'l bit of friendly competition?

[The Great Outwifing of whatever-year-this-is.]

[marryonette]

Love isn't about competition! That's a different thing entirely! The competitive part comes first, when rivals develop a closeness that develops into something more!

[muroieda]

Agree ta disagree, mate. Yer partner should always be bringin' out the best in ya.

[marryonette]

IT'S NOT THE SAME!

-jesus christ el.-

I mean... my womanhood is really important to me! If someone truly loves me, they won't make me feel self-conscious about it!

So I'd take her as a husband instead!

cw: allusion to suicide

[muroieda]

[Damn, girl. That sounds like some explosive lack of self-esteem right there.

Of course, Junkrat is too people-stupid to analyze or even explain this eloquently, so what actually comes out is a burst of hysterical laughter, followed with:]

Are ya seriously that desperate fer validation?! Mate, if ya can't find yer self-worth within yerself, you sure as hell ain't gonna find it in someone else!

[Speaking from personal experience on this one. If he valued himself as much as his peers did, well, he probably would've necked himself years ago.]

[marryonette]

Why are you being so mean! A woman's heart is really delicate, you know! You shouldn't say things like that!

[resist_the_future]

Elphelt. You shouldn't pay attention to them if they have nothing important to say.

It's only wasting your time.

[Aw here it goes.]

[marryonette]

But they're being rude! I can't just leave it to someone else to inform them they're being rude!

[resist_the_future]

Do you really think they'll listen to you and change?

[marryonette]

...

Anyone can change, Ram.

[resist_the_future]

[that's not fair, sis.]

They have to want to be able to change.
