There's a point where you just have to say enough is enough

Well, that's one asshole sitting at home crying tonight. Or in the ER. At least you made the world a little better on your way out of your job.

voice;

[yousonofabat]

It's a gift, you know. I try to make the world a little bit brighter in everything I do.

voice;

[futurebatwoman]

Well, I feel you certainly succeeded today.

Got any ideas for a new job?

voice;

[yousonofabat]

First order of business is a little me-time. I'm overdue for a vacation. After that, I think I'm going to concentrate on my freelance work. My partner gets his panties in a twist when I overwork myself, anyway.

voice;

[futurebatwoman]

That sounds pretty reasonable. Everyone deserves some me-time.

Yeah, mine did too. Yours got dragged here with you?

voice;

[yousonofabat]

I would rather have some me-time in the company of my cat, but he's at home. I'll settle for a couple in-flight drinks during my me-time to compensate.

Yeah, he did. He's...adjusting.

voice;

[futurebatwoman]

Adjusting to this place seems like a full-time job sometimes.

voice;

[yousonofabat]

Yeah, but you've gotta roll with the punches. What's life without a few alternate reality adventures and a space abduction or two? Boring.

voice;

[futurebatwoman]

If it's good for nothing else, it's got great entertainment value.

And I can't think of a better way to start a story than "so this one time, I was pulled into the armpit of the multiverse..."

[futurebatwoman]

I'll totally get to one-up Kai-Ro at the story table if I ever get home. Eat it, Lantern!

voice; [batcrypted]

[yousonofabat]

I wish that I could say that this would be enough to one-up the Lantern I hang out with. I don't know how, but Milagro has the best-worst stories possible. I've stopped trying to win against her. Guy ruined her for the rest of the world.

Mine's a total sweetheart most of the time, but he gets this look in his eyes when he's story-telling - I'd swear he's enjoying how much of an edge the whole "I can fly in space and do whatever I want!" thing gives him. Lanterns. Cheaters the lot of them.

voice; [batcrypted]

[yousonofabat]

Sometimes, you have to remind Lanterns that they're just space cops that fight crime with bling fed by their imagination. Give 'em a little reality check. Me, I try to always remember that I'm just a lady in skintight body armor who fights for love, justice, and all of the riot toys a billionaire's budget can buy.

It's an important perspective to keep in mind, that's for sure. The brooding Dark Knight thing Batman gets going on is pretty bad for your sanity, I think. At least when taken in large doses. It's fun every so often.

There are those who are called to brood, grumble, and make lesser mortals pee themselves a little, and there are those who were blessed with a sense of humor. The two are mutually exclusive, usually, but sometimes even Bats 1.0 can make a funny.
