[quote=@Thanqol]"You're [i]going to[/i] -" she hissed. "I don't even want fame. It's stupid! Only stupid people want fame! I just want a completely reasonable amount of respect! I've overthrown two megacorporations and am about to take down a third and I'll be the ruler of the world before I'm thirty. Is it too much to ask that every stupid teenager with a hoodie and a halloween mask stops breaking into my office to challenge me to a fistfight? That stupid old people stop second-guessing my business strategies? I just want to be taken seriously, and if that means blowing up Australia then that's what's going to happen."

"Look, lady. Humanity, collectively, is the most stubborn, idiotic, and illogical bunch of animals that you will ever meet. You are currently wearing so many different layers, in exactly such a fashion, because that is how things are done, including the makeup coating your face and nails. You just yelled at probably the most powerful tool you have access to and threatened to destroy it out of pique, because that made you feel good. You all, collectively, keep threatening your own cities and doing terrible things to each other and then go [b]right back to where you were at the start.[/b] You. Are. Idiots." She takes a deep breath. "That's not, however, a bad thing. Out of the sheer, stubborn idiotic decisions, you decide, generally, to care about each other. To help in spite of the society built to make you care about yourself first. You want to be the ruler of the world and you're expecting to get [b]respect[/b] for it? The one possible position where you can get blamed for everything that goes wrong, and every single hero will be after you for vengeance, for freedom, for whatever, and every single villain will be after your spot. It's not the smart thing for them to do, no, but it's the dumb thing to do and that makes it the human thing to do."
