[ During Time Ripples ]

[ Someone's been noticing a pattern. Maybe not necessarily connected to the age fluctuations, but one never knows. Instead, she wrinkles her nose slightly. ]

Is it just me, or have people here become a good deal more...amorous, lately?

It's something in the water, isn't it.

Mm? Oh, no. [She waves her hand dismissively at the camera.] I signed my contract and trained when I was off of school. Once they'd trained me up a bit, I got thrown into the deep end. There's no room for training wheels with HeroTV, not if you want to do better than the others. Granted, I had a better field support crew than most anyone else and my powers are good for almost any situation, so that helped a lot.

[She raises her chin, haughtily. Her eyes glow and an aura springs up around her. Not quite pulling out all the stops for Blue Rose, but she finds that just showing off her NEXT looks can be dramatic enough.]

But I'm the Queen of Heroes for a reason. And once I realized that my job as a Hero was more important than any side jobs I had, I got even better.

[...But still always in second place. Never the King of Heroes.]

'Better than the others'.

[ The tips of her ears twitch, ever so slightly. ]

Is that what this is about?

[icysmile]

Here? [She snorts.] God, no. Here, it's about making sure everyone gets out okay. Back home, though? We got scored on how well we did. People saved, property protected, that kind of thing. The Hero with the best score got... Well, a lot of advantages and opportunities.

They don't have that setup here, so trying to compete is a waste of time.

[Not that it's stopped her from competing anyway. Just more low-key than outright subverting the other heroes. The Legion wasn't set up for outright Hero politics. They're just heroes.]
