I don't own YA
A/N: This is a bit less of a fic, and more my views on what I hope they'll do with his character based on the latest interviews with the new set of writers.
Written before the actual issue was released.
A Change in Perspective
"I don't want to lose anyone again" - thinking that, I sat and did nothing while the world around me burned time and again. Even if they needed me, they were better off without, is what I thought, and stayed away.
After all, the last time I thought I knew what I was doing, so many people got hurt, some of them killed - my friends -dead.
So really, what good can I do? I'm better staying out of it all, where I can't get anyone hurt again - or worse. There'd be other people out there to save the day, just like last time. There always is.
And whatever happens, if I do nothing - it's not my fault.
Only it doesn't work that way. Not in this business. People get hurt, and if you could help, but didn't? You're an accomplice. And if you're the only one who could help, but didn't? It's on your hands. No way around it.
It doesn't matter what happened the last time-
"Chavez!"
"I'm fine, worry about yourself."
What matters is that you get over yourself.
"A worthy adversary indeed-"
"Not the time to be impressed, Demi-God!"
Get off your high horse of pity and shame, and start walking on your own two feet again.
"Is he- is he glowing?!"
"About time, Magic-Boy!"
You owe the people you lost at least that much. And the people still there?
"Billy—"
"I don't want to lose anyone again" - Thinking that, I got up and started doing something about it.
