Dunno if it makes you feel any better, but you're a way better role model than I am.

Yeah, that's probably not helpful.

It is a small, small comfort, but I appreciate it, I assure you.

It's not so bad, being a bad role model. Gives you a bit more freedom.

I am a fantastic role model thankyouverymuch.

I think you're a pretty good role model? I mean if I couldn't be me, it'd be cool to be you. Maybe kinda weird all things considered, but also cool.

Course you are. And I'm not saying you're not.

So which newspaper has it out for you?

Definitely not. I've seen bad role models, and you're not one.

But you know most news outlets are ambivalent (at best) about costumed heroes. It's no fun, but you know you're doing good work, and so do we. Everybody else can suck it.

...television pundit. I know, I know, don't listen to them... but.... they're just so... greasy and... diabolical.

It is, at times, the weirdest.

But thank you.

Proving anyone calling herself Huntress, no matter what reality, CLEARLY has her head on right!

Um

Unless there's an evil you somewhere I haven't met yet.

Well, the theory of the multiverse says that every potential reality exists somewhere. So maybe there's an alternate you and an alternate me somewhere robbing banks?

Most've them have made a deal with a demon to get their jobs, so I wouldn't be too surprised they're spewing that kind of thing.

Maybe it's time they had a nasty little surprise...which one was it?

Us irresponsible vigilante types gotta stick together.

I live to serve.

I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to let people put hexes on corporate news outlets for me, not matter what they called me.

~~Rhymes with "socks."~~

... if we're talking about the same "news" outlet, they aren't very fond of us, either.

Heh, I'm starting to think that they should just hide your dad and I in the Watchtower attic, like Cinderella, with the press comes calling.

We're. Not good with the talking to... a lot of certain members of said press.

At least you'd look really awesome robbing banks. That's a plus, right?

He, uh. Really isn't. I'm... pretty sure we've had to stop him from sending in editorials as Green Arrow, actually.

I don't really watch much TV, though. Were they just badmouthing your outfit, or was there something else?

I really want to see those editorials.
It always seems to be the outfit. Which is why I keep wearing it, bcause eff them. I have boobs. People are going to stare at 'em whether there's a window or not. I like the look, I don't get why showing cleavage has to mean "omg I want male attention!" Maybe I just want some ventilation. Maybe I need somewhere to keep my lip gloss, 'cause not everyone has a utility belt.

If they went after the property damage angle, that I could probably let that slide. I mean. I've left a lot of craters in the ground. Never any civilian casualties, but... lots and lots of property damage.
Oh, and there's like a ton of youtube clips of me swearing a lot. I really hate cell phone cameras.

You really don't.

... yeah. Cell phone cameras can be... difficult. [Not that he's ever had to deal with anything related to that and his secret identity, or fansites of any sorts, nope.]

Let's be real here - we'd be the hottest bank robbers this side of Bonnie and Clyde. Luckily for our corner of the multiverse, we mostly use our powers for good. ;)

Ha, give me a call the next time you're stopping one in Gotham. It'd be a blast just to see the looks on their faces.

You kind of have a small legion of like... super dedicated fans, don't you? I mean, I can get why and all. But semi-stalking a superhero never struck me as particularly wise.

[He groans.] M- Speedy keeps sending me links. It's maybe 1/4 really intense martial arts enthusiasts and 3/4... fangirls, I guess. And fanboys.

Jack Ryder is the biggest hack "super-journalism" has ever seen. And I'm including G. Gordon Godfrey. I swear, I could write a book.

So, you're saying, if I happened to talk Johnny boy up there to like, curse him to a lifetime of stepping on Legos with abnoral frequency, I wouldn't be doing anything thaaaaat bad, right? Or maybe really mild but annoying allergies to fabrics commonly used in the manufacture of undergarments?

Not that I'd really... I mean... that would be... wrong...

...On the other hand, Ryder's tendency to get under our community's skin sometimes turns his character accusations into self-fulfilling prophecies.

She collects these links for you? How... thoughtful.

Your fansites sound a lot nicer than my fansites. Well. "Fan"sites.

You... you really don't want to dip your toe into that pool.

A girl can fantasize, can't she?

Yes, she's... very diligent.

Honestly, there's a lot of fetishizing going on. But it's probably still less... volatile than yours.

I'm not sure I follow.

Maybe you're not.
