You can't save a life. You can aide a life, you can support a life and you can destroy a life; but, the action of saving a life is, in fact, impossible. A life will do what it wants; the human brain makes its own choices. If it wants to make a mess it will make a mess. If wants to create peace and protection, then it will create peace and protection; however, if it wants to create havoc and destruction it will create havoc and destruction. Often in the case of the 'real world' heroes don't exist, villains and things of that sort are everywhere and heroes are, in fact, events of courage that come and go like the clouds in the sky.

There are, sometimes, actual people who could be mistaken for heroes. Their ideals and actions are mostly of the heroic nature so inherently people think of them as heroes. They fight the scum of the systems and the hold a shield to the swords of the powers-that-be. They're relentless fight is painful and heartbreaking, the more they do the more that comes. It is these people that inspire future 'heroes'. Eventually they must fail; that s the nature of life: 'you win some you lose some' in fact is you may win some; but, you must lose one eventually". Their biggest feat is to create a something everlasting, a chain of heroes that will step over and over to counteract the villainy that exist. To be a hero you must think and to be a villain you must have an, apparent, lack of thinking; and, because of that heroes are destined to fail every time. Time takes its course and deteriorates the human mind. Thinking because harder and the hero mentality begins to fade into the shadow of seniority. There are; however, worse things that can happen to a 'hero', something worse than physical destruction. Mental destruction was always the saddest and single most terrible thing that could happen to a hero. When the hero is in his or her prime and something steals from it's capabilities of thinking clearly, people choke. It's a scary thing to watch and even more offers a sense of helplessness to the common folk.

The News reported: "In our week long exclusive look at the 'heroes' of Gotham we've taken a deeper gander at some of the common people who have helped Gotham a better place in the past, this week we're looking at heroes of our present time and what better time to do this on the week two of Gotham's most notorious criminals are to be arraigned and sent to federal prison. Today's focus is on Harvey Dent; Dent, who has been called the 'greatest D.A.' in the world, has put most of Gotham's high level criminals in prison. His relentless effort to make Gotham a better place has made his name a household item and his image a welcome one. Graduating from law school two years early Harvey Dent immediately returned to Gotham to help with the growing domestic and legal problems, despite offers from Washington D.C., London and the People's Republic of China. Dent started as a tiny fish in a sea of sharks; but, soon showed that he had his share of bites in him too. In his first year of serving Gotham Dent prosecuted a record two hundred and fifty criminals successfully and quickly became deputy D.A. After an unsuccessful attempt on his life, by the mob, Dent fought back against the mob, being the only D.A. to openly challenge the mob by refusing insanity pleas for known mob members. Within two years Dent was able to bring the Gotham mob to it's knees and stood as the leader member in Gotham's legal system quickly ascending to the title of senior D.A. of the greater Gotham area and becoming the youngest person to hold the title. Gotham's Dark Age would put a shadow over Dent's efforts and glory very quickly. Dent was unable to enjoy his glory as a new wave of criminals entered the city from the embattled New York area. Dent found himself as one of the primary targets for criminals; but, Dent never let threats stop him from publicly speaking out against those criminals. In a historic event Dent called on the G.C.P.D. and the citizens of Gotham to not harbor the criminals anymore and to 'shake the foundation of this land until these criminals fear for their own safety'. Dent would see a dramatic increase in people reporting crimes they witnessed; but, the G.C.P.D. was falling apart upon itself and failing to bringing criminals in. Rumors of criminal corruption within the system started to spread and Dent spoke against corruption; but, as more criminals slipped in between holes in the system or just weren't being brought in, people began to lose faith in the system that existed. Dent did what he could as D.A. to stop crime; but, fell short due to the corruption. But as you all know that's not where it ends, tomorrow we'll be talking about our next addition to the 'Heroes of Gotham' , James Worthington Gordon and his efforts followed by a report on the mysterious Batman the day after, be sure to join us for that and goodnight."

The T.V. clicked off and the room sat in darkness for a long moment before the light came on. On the couch he sat there with nothing to say, in his hand his coin, he flipped it into the air and it came down slowly into his waiting hand. He turned it over onto the back of his left hand and looked at it. There was no emotion at the result, there wasn't a single give away in his expression just a stoic stare into nothingness.

You can't save a life.
