Soooooooooooooooo. I feel like a lot of times when we post on here it's something serious, or someone left, someone arrived, you get it. And honestly, I've got no problem with that cause it makes sense! But how about some more icebreakers?

FanPort got me thinking cause obviously all the locals are crazy about superheroes, and even non-superheroes, but what about you guys? If you come from a world with superheroes like me, you've got a pretty good head start on everyone else. Still, everyone's probably got some kind of hero, right?

And now I'm sure you're wondering, "Stephanie, who is your favorite superhero?"

Well, drumroll please...

[The drumroll is so she can think of a good answer. It's not working.]

Uh. I had a poster of Superboy when I was in high school. Wait, is Superboy here? I just realized how weird this could potentially get...

You know, I never really thought about superheroes before I became one. I didn't even know who half the people I'd met were.

[ A Superboy poster, though, huh? Cute. ]

Wonder Woman'd be a good choice. Everyone loves Wonder Woman. [ He pauses. ] And, just for the record, Superboy was here, like, a couple of times. Nice guy. Different world than the one I'm from, though.

But he's not here now, right? Like I'm over that crush, but still. I don't wanna make him feel awkward or anything.

[It'd actually be nice to see Kon. Not in this context, though.]

Was she your favorite of all the ones you met? I can't imagine what it'd be like being around superheroes like that... Although I guess it's easier if you're not a huge fan, huh?

[khajidont]

Nah, he left ages ago. It's been a couple years since I've seen him.

[ He grins a little at Steph. ] Tell you a secret. [ It is not at all a secret. And they're in public. Listen, let him just play coy. ] Booster Gold's the first superhero I ever met, and before I met him, I thought he was just a toothpaste mascot. Boy, was I surprised. [ His smile only fades a little at the question of who his favourite hero is. ]

I don't think you can pick favourites at a certain point. They're more like, um... friends than superheroes.

[ Though he does have an entire building financed by him called the Ted Kord Memorial Centre. It doesn't take much to clue in on who his favourite might be. ]

Whew, he sounds like he'd be... an interesting superhero to meet for the first time. I think i've spotted Batman a few times? But I'm from Gotham, so that makes sense. Never met any, though. Well, I've met all of you guys here, but-

[It's different. At least it's different than the story her secret identity's trying to tell.]

But I think I get it. Like you're equals, right? It'd be kinda weird to go all fanboy on someone you have to work with.

[khajidont]

Yeah, exactly. I think that's something that'd get HR called on you... if they had HR. Now that I think about it, they probably should. They'd have their hands full.

But yeah, it'd be a little weird. Heroes are only stories until you get a chance to figure out there's a person underneath it all. A great person underneath it all, in a lot of cases! But still just a person.
