[He's been mulling this over since he met Hannibal, really.]

What was the first turning point in your life? Do you even remember who your real heroes were, when you were a kid? Or maybe some people do actually idolize their parents. For me, the only idols are the ones who can't become real, but it's been pointed out to me before that it's possible to worship someone in spite of their faults.

When I were a little girl, there was - 'is name was Dick, and 'e was a highwayman. And I'd've done anything. Anything. To convince 'im I were worth keeping around. To let me follow 'im. And I did, 'cause I'm better at convincing than I knew back then.

Dick turned out to be... well, a bit of a dick, in the finish. But the things I loved in 'im; the freedom and adventure and the way 'e smiled. Well. Some things stick a long time, don't they?

My parents were pretty crappy.

I made my own heroes. My friend and I. [Her smile is soft, and wistful.] Rocketgirl, Amazogirl. Supergirl, too, there wasn't one back then.

And Batgirl, of course.

There were none.

I never idolized people... or not exactly, anyway. It was a place, for me, and the people who got to be there.
