AN: So if you haven't noticed I've changed some things and I'm reposting all of the chapters. I have edited them and changed some P.O.V. problems I was having with the story. I really have wanted to post earlier but life just doesn't seem to want to cooperate. Thank you so very much for your patience and I'm glad you're still bothering to read this. I'm writing this at twelve at night so this should be good because its when I do my best work. Please don't forget to review but I do smile when people follow this story. Love you all! ~StargazingDragon~
Intro
I was taught at an early age that the world was corrupt. Some of us are not so lucky like that. Others like Superman grow up in a good home with people who love them. Heroes like the Flash have families that are kept safe until another hero inherits powers. It's the people like Batman that I can relate to, that the world often overlooks. Sometimes to be a hero you have to be the villain. Sometimes to do what is right you have to do something that will destroy everything you believe in and break you till you're on your knees. Sometimes you must give up everything, because in the end it doesn't matter what happens to your body or your mind, it's the people you save that makes a difference.
Cities like Gotham, big cities that are terrorized by gangs and plagued by villains, those are the cities that need heroes like Batman, heroes that seem to be villains but protect the people all the same. Some cites like Jump City have problems with poverty and villains like Red-X often give back to said population. Villains like Slade keep the people united even though we pray to our God or Gods that they no longer haunt our streets. We need heroes like the Titans to stop people like Slade and give us hope. Sometimes the ultimate hero is the ultimate villain.
The line between a hero and a villain is a thin one much like a tight rope. The world is full of many shades of gray. This makes things more complicated, but it also pulls us out of out of our selfish lives to understand that the man sitting next to us on the bus has as much reason to live as we ourselves do. Villains and heroes remind us we are not alone in the world. They teach us to never let go of our values because they will protect us and remind us of their own values. Every man, women, child, hero, and villain has a place on this earth. Every person deserves a chance and every human deserves to live.
In a world like this one we have to look over our shoulders and carry weapons to walk home at night. Things like this will never change. Sometimes people are desperate. The man who murdered someone's father was hungry and couldn't feed his kids and something goes wrong. Like the Sandman needed money for his daughter's health and he accidently shot Spiderman's uncle. In the world there must always be a villain and a hero. It doesn't mean things will be fair and is doesn't make things right. It only keeps us sane. Without these tests we would not be the people we are today. Without stability government is just a word. Without heroes and villains life means nothing.
My name Sola Tala, meaning lone wolf in a Native American language. My mother named me before she died in child birth. My father was murdered in front of my very eyes. I became an orphan and was taught that the world is very corrupt. I soon realized what we have to do and what we want to do is not often the same thing.
