Wanting to be a superhero and becoming one, are two completely different things. But becoming the opposite? That's way easier. And sometimes it's not on purpose.
Fate didn't want me to be a hero.
I was a fairly normal girl, growing up in Central Cit...
And I'd give up forever to touch you Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now ~Iris ~ Goo Goo Dolls~
...School: September 28, 2010...
All day Richy has been in a bad mood and nobody knows why. At lunch I confront him about it.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Obviously not, the scale goes great, good, okay, not okay, I hate you, and then I'm fine," I say. "What's eating you up?"
He sighs. "There's this girl..."
"Ooh! Richy has a crush!" I squeal. "Who is it?"
"Y-you don't know her... S-she goes to a different school."
"Oh, so why are you so upset?" I ask. "Did she reject you?"
"No, nothing like that..." He sighs. "She's shown a lot of interest in me by teasing and flirting with me. But... my best friend asked her out and she accepted."
"Sounds complicated," I admit. "Why don't you just tell her you like her?"
"That's the problem, I don't know if I do," he says.
"Have you ever liked a girl before?" I ask.
"No."
"That makes more sense. Well, you obviously like her if your jealous of your best friend," I admit. "Wait, isn't Barbara your best friend? She's lesbian?"
He begins to laugh. "No! No! She's not! My best friend is male. He doesn't go here either."
"Oh," I say. "You have a lot of friends from somewhere else."
"Well, when your dad is Bruce Wayne, you meet a lot of people."
I laugh. "I guess so." I give him a stern look. "If you like this girl then you should tell her."
"If you only knew the situation," Richy sighs, going silent. He changes the conversation. "So, do you live with your aunt?"
"Well since I got a scholarship to Gotham Academy, I have been," I say. "I like my aunt, she's really cool. Aunty Selina teaches me gymnastics sometimes when we're bored. She has money, so we go to lots of cool places too."
"Yeah, same," he says. "The cool places part, not the gymnastics!"
I laugh. "I kinda figured. I can't see Brucie doing any kind of gymnastics."
"You have no idea..." he chuckles.

After school I head home to get changed, get dressed, then run to the zeta tube to head to the cave to wait on Wally. I'm wearing sunglasses to conceal my eyes with my outfit that I find incredibly cute. I'm guessing Wally will too.
