[It's so idealistic. An ugly part of Amy thinks back to all the times she prayed her power would just one day disappear, leave her relieved of the incredible burden forever. It's easy to forget about the millions of kids around the world who looked at her - looked at Victoria - and wanted to be just like them.]
It's a nice sentiment. But there's a pretty big difference between helping people and fighting a fifty foot tall city destroying Kaiju. I guess you must just have to do a lot of training or something.
[Shouldn't everyone do what they can to help others? Shouldn't they rejoice in all that they can grant others? It's a sentiment that she can understand. Something that she desperately wanted to believe in. And it's a sentiment that shattered her with all her good intentions.]
It's admirable. Just not really done in my world. Capes are best for fighting other capes, generally, with some aid from the non powered employees and leadership of the various hero agencies - but there's a very clear divide. Having said that I was never really a combatant. Just the girl they came to when they were missing half their body or something.
[She feels a twang of unexpected bitterness and resentment as she describes them. They threw her in a meat grinder for what amounted to a lie, after all.]
