It's only fair.

Honest opinion, go.

You're a teenager from severely fucked up circumstances. I don't even know what the circumstances are, but I can practically taste them. The humor as a defense mechanism, the amount of time you spend in costume, the level of dedication you put into in doing everything, it's all over you. Something's pushing you, some part of your past, and probably not all of it is good.

So. I get protective.

A lot of you is like a regular teenager, but taken to extremes. You're figuring yourself out, your place in life out, and it looks like you're trying to latch onto something concrete - the superhero identity - to give you direction, clear purpose, even though this is the time for your life when confusion and wandering is normal. Hell, even encouraged.

In a sense, I admire your dedication to your cause, even if you don't always know what the hell you're doing, like when you were humiliating that thug. On the other hand, I know the damage that kind of dedication can do if someone uses it as a way to ignore the crap underneath their skin in their life, which I think you might be doing.

It's hard to say. I see you, I see your potential, and I see what you're doing, and all my old instincts as a mother kick in. I've watched people die without getting anywhere near to being involved with superhero fights.

So I worry.

Long story short, I care about what happens to you, and wish you cared a little more. Or, at least, thought about it more.

Ugh, knowing this makes the whole guilt complex thing like, nine thousand times worse.

But it's nice to know, at the very least.
