Alex's phone buzzed. [I]Alex! My dress won't fit. I'm fat! I don't wanna go. Help![/I]

Alex looked at her phone, shooting a quick text back to her friend while she waited for a response from the mystery Epic.
[List][*]You sure you put it on the right way, Rox? I'm a little busy trying to sort out a...problem. I can't pop in like normal.

[*]Um...Oops. Hehe. Sorry.

[*]Not like that, Rox! You turn the dress around and try again?

[*]I did! It won't fit over my fat boobs!

[*]Wrong way, Rox. Meant to go from the bottom to the top. Like men.

[*]Like what?

[*]Men, Rox. Like, they work their way up, then back down. That's a horrible metaphor. Just pull it up, not down. The opposite of what you'll be doing later haha

[*]*blush emoji* Don't you start with kissing?

[*]Sure. But kisses can start anywhere. Like, say, the inner thigh. Hint hint.

[*]Eep

[*]*Wink emoji*

[*]Nooooo

[*]Yessssss. Did the dress fit this time?

[*]I'll try now. Come by when you're done with your person.

[*]... Way this is going, I'm going to be a long while.
[*]Then use your trick and hurry him up. That one that you use to finish off

[*]I toldja Rox, not that kind of thing. I'm on duty.

[*]Oohhh

[*]Yeah. So go have fun on your date. I'll catch up tomorrow. You'll need to text me when he's gone

[*]Ok[/list]

Alex sighed, reading the lastest messages from the mystery lady.

"I think we can agree to disagree on petty crimes always leading to bigger crimes. There are always exceptions to every rule. You're smart, I'm sure you already know that," she replied slowly. "And yeah, the City has it's problems. That's why Heroes like myself do everything we can to work on it. The High night not be perfect, but they do more than you might have realized. Venom protects the City from plague and disease. Island keeps structures and roads together no matter what destroys them. Electric runs the power, so we always have power. Maybe you haven't heard of Eclipse. I was still a kid when he showed up in the City. If it hasn't been for the High, this City would be a crater, and he'd have continued through the rest of the planet."

She paused again. "Freaks aren't always bad, you know. As for your other point, if you actively worked with me and some others we could more easily stop the threats that appear. It would also help keep Heroes off your back for dealing with the smaller crap."

She waved a hand. "We get powers. As far as I see it, it's up to people like you and I to fix this bullshit. Because power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Mind that line, because anyone can travel down that road without realizing it."
