[ Now that the sickness is finally disappearing, everyone can get back to living their normal life. Granted, she is certain that some are still recovering so Lena being, well, Lena, has a question for everyone. It's one that she hopes will help distract some people and maybe give them a chance to gush about something cool.

That, and she gets to learn more about the different worlds out there. ]

Okay! I think this is on and working. I don't usually do an entire network call like this, but, uh, hey! Lena here, with some questions for you guys! Does anyone have heroes in their world? Because I'd love to learn about the different types of heroes out there. [ Because who doesn't love to learn about that. ]

Also, I'm actually kind of curious to know if anyone here is one... a superhero or just a good ol' hero is good enough for me. I'd love to meet you! Be kind of good to have some sort of hero club or if we can work together in the future if something like this ever happens again.

But, I hope it doesn't. [ Because nobody deserves to get sick. Still, the idea around it is still there in case anything big happens and the royal guard can't just look after it -- assuming it's in an area where they are. ] So if you're a hero then hit me up! If you have a favourite hero, let me know about them.

Cheers!

I guess after everything that has happened to people I know, I just want to have some... hope about others believing that there are heroes.

[revlon]

That's no bad thing.

[ She considers for a moment. Her brother is a delicate subject and one she isn't entirely willing to discuss with a stranger. However — she doesn't have to be terribly specific. She won't name names, not for classified missions, and she won't imply she was part of the campaign at all. It could just be a story, really, just like all the others. It was in the papers. Public record. ]

There are plenty of people who know they're meant to fight for what's right. During the war, it often wasn't a question. A good friend of mine did everything he could to get to the front, despite every door being shut in his face. All he needed was an opportunity; and once he got one, he ran with it. He saved thousands of lives in service of his country. In just one instance, he broke through a blockade to rescue half a battalion trapped in enemy territory by a blizzard.

Some would say that he went above and beyond what duty expected of him. But that's just who he is.

[quevalry]

[ that's a relief for her to hear. ]

Woah... he sounds so cool. I know some people who are like that, but, I don't think they went as many lengths at this guy. It's pretty amazing how there are people who are willing to do anything to be able to help those in need.

They're the true heroes.

[revlon]

I don't know how appreciative he'd be of me telling war stories. But it was in the newspapers in our world, so it isn't terribly different.

What about you?

[quevalry]

It isn't like you've got to tell me all the deets, so I'm sure he'll be fine with it! Otherwise.... eh, oh well.

About me? Like, stuff I've done or people I look up to -- because there's a bunch of people I look up to! Or, I did. [ she's still a little salty. ]

[revlon]

Oh yes?

[quevalry]

Mhm! People who help create the organization I'm with or was with. It's gotten a little complicated thanks to finding out that some people are still alive when we thought otherwise and... yeah.

[revlon]

Are you referring to everyone being rescued and put into pods?

[quevalry]

I wish. They faked their deaths back home, or,
lied about it at the very least.

[revlon]

You'd be surprised how often that happens. Or maybe not. Sometimes it's a necessary thing in a job that attracts enemies — for lack of a better word.

[quevalry]

Yeah? I feel like there's no need to leave some people in the dark about it though.
They don't have a right to complain about what has happened since they decided to play dead, too.

[ she still has a lot of feelings to work through. ]

[revlon]

Ah, well, fair enough. That sounds reasonable to me. I take it they disagree?

[quevalry]

Yeah, they do.
I assume it's why they figured it would be fine to do in the first place.

[revlon]

Are they friends of yours?

[quevalry]

Their people I looked up to, kinda like a father figured and a mother-figure.

[revlon]

That certainly makes it more difficult. If anyone in my life pulled a stunt like that, I don't know if I'd easily forgive them. All the more if they were someone I respected in that way.

[quevalry]

That's my current problem. I know I can't stay mad at them forever, but I'm not sure how to really move on from this.

[revlon]

Time, I think. As trite as it may sound.

[quevalry]

Urgh. Time is such a pain to deal with and that's coming from someone that can control their own time.

[revlon]

[ Wait. ]

Aren't we all in control of our time?

[quevalry]

Yes. But, mine is different to yours ... it's complicated. I can rewind my time, and make it go faster too.

apologies for how late this is, feel free to ignore!!

[revlon]

When you spoke of controlling time, you meant that literally. That's incredible.

i can backtag until the end of days /flexes

[quevalry]

Yup! It comes with a price, naturally, but I have done a lot of good with it.

until events drop and then we're all screaming

[revlon]

The heroic sort of good?

relatable

[quevalry]

I like to think so. Kids looked up to me from what I saw.
