Introduction
Since the beginning of time, I can remember that my mother had always seen me as her gem. She would make sure that I was in perfect shape, that my confidence was never low, that I felt satisfied in everything I did and that I knew she was always there for me. My mother happens to be Sally Jupiter… and sometimes, I ask myself just how I manage to put up with her. It's not that I don't care about her, it's just I don't care enough to understand her. I have at the beginning, but as I got older, I started to realize that she just didn't let me. But there was something that she did let me do, and that was to become a super heroine. I didn't really have the choice to be honest, and I dread this job everyday. I just sit back, watching Adrien and Edward fight about what we should do. Jon tries to always stop them from fighting, and Dan and Rorschach don't seem to give a damn anymore. I don't either. I'm almost 16 years old, and all I'm doing is taking other people's orders and wearing a stupid tight latex outfit. The only thing that's keeping me from leaving right now is the fact that I know I'm fighting for humanity's sake. This world needs help, and I'm willing to give all that I've got. It's hard to see the everyday lives of people, who suffer great losses over injustice. What are we doing in the world anyway? We're destroying it, little by little. I see the world dying everyday… and it scares me. I've got to tell myself, "You can do this Laurie" every single time I'm out there doing my job. I remember Dan told me a couple days ago, "In order to help the world, you've got to sacrifice all you've got". I believe that, honestly. But I still wonder, how much of myself am I sacrificing here? I've seen in the news how brutal the superheroes of the Minutemen have ended. It's either you die, or you end up insane. Can I really do this? I'm living in this corrupted society, and trying to help them makes it seem like the walls are closing in on me every single time. I get so scared. I feel so lost. And in just about a few minutes, I'm going to try to save someone's life.
