Um, hi.

This is really awkward.

I mean, even for the beginning of a letter.

Whose idea was this to begin with? Sounds like something the Invisible Woman, or worse, her brother, would have thought up.

Hey, why don't we have superhero pen pals? I mean, it would be a great way to get to know each other! Blah, blah, blah.

Oh, yeah, you might not even remember who I am.

Uh. Problem.

How am I going to keep you from tracking this back to my secret identity? Keep you from figuring out who I am?

If you haven't already…

Have I mentioned that this is awkward?

Um… so, yeah. Um… what's been up with me?

I, uh, captured a few jewel thieves today in the act. That was exciting. Got villain-ized again by the Bugel again. That was entertaining.

Nothing makes my day brighter than to see myself painted as a criminal.

Um… I'm kind of complaining to the wrong person, aren't I? Half the population of your city thinks you're an urban legend. Half of the other half thinks that you're a demon.

Not that you that you show them otherwise. I mean – just as a friendly piece of advice between heroes, y'know – you could really work on your public image.

Being a little less menacing couldn't hurt.

And a smile… wow. That would do wonders.

I won't even start on how a few jokes could make you a lot more friendly looking. People might even line up to buy Batman dolls if you are good enough at it…

Um… I'm rambling. Sorry. Tired.

And a little overstressed.

I better end this letter before you really truss me up.

Man, I'm gonna kill the genius who came up with this idea. Has to have been the Human Torch.

Spiderman –

I don't care whose idea it was. Don't write me.

Ever again.
