Mako's Message:Sorry about the decline in the rate of posting. Life has been rather exhausting. This story is still the most recently updated though, and it hasn't been a week yet so I can't really feel too guilty. Rate of update is pretty much the only thing I have going for me.

Anyway, I didn't talk much about what went on during the rest of the week, but just so you know, this DOES take place more or less a week after Ch36. Anyway, hope you enjoy and I'll be responding to last chapters reviews now.

Oh, the website I mentioned is based on... well, two real ones. The World Super hero Registry( worldsuperheroregistry dot com) and Real Life Superheroes(reallifesuperheroes dot org). The first one does't seem to have been updated in at least a year, but RLS is very active, they're both worth a look though.


Jessi took me aside today because she wanted to show me something. She said she was sure I'd love it because I'm "into those real superheroes and stuff."

I didn't really think I'd done anything to make her think that, but I guess I haven't really shown much interest in anything aside from comics. I guess real life superheroes isn't that big of a jump.

The site was called The Real Super Hero Registry.

It had little profiles on anybody who put on a costume and gave themselves a name. It had real ones for people who'd actually done something. If they were mentioned in any sort of news media there were links to the article or the video. There were forums, and articles about being a super hero. It was interesting, seeing some of the home brew equipment people came up with, and their advice on being a hero. Some of it wasn't that bad surprisingly. One of the guys said hockey pads were a better bet than springing for Kevlar, since you're more likely to be fighting guys with knives and pipes than guns.

Probably true if you're going for small game criminals.

But what really caught my attention, was the three featured profiles.

Kick-Ass.

Hit Girl.

Big Daddy.

The Big Daddy profile was actually more of memorial. Apparently Dave had sent them a message letting them know what happened to him, since the page had previously listed his fate (along with mine) as unknown. They managed to attribute some of our actual actions to him, but only because they pretty much gave us credit for any dead mobsters in the last five years.

I had to keep a real tight grip on myself as we looked through it. There were all sorts of memorial tributes; drawings, stories, photoshopped pictures. I almost lost it. Just the idea that so many people wanted to make these tribute for him, not knowing anything of him before that night, almost made me crack. It would have been hard to explain that to Jessi.

Despite almost breaking down looking at all the Big Daddy tributes, it was kind of cool to see my page. I guess Dave told them my name was "Hit Girl" as well as what happened to Daddy, maybe even more of what happened at the warehouse. I don't think he mentioned our assault on D'Amico's penthouse though. If he did I'm pretty sure it would have been mentioned on my page. These people would have loved that story and never let it go if they heard it.

It also would have meant he admitted that Kick-Ass killed people. I don't think he'd do that.

Didn't stop people from speculating though, after all, they both happened the same night.

I have mixed feeling about some of the art of me. Some was actually really good ( I think I might get one of them for my wallpaper…) but there were some that were… well, they were "safe for work" but I most definitely don't have tits, so they were kind of weird to look at. There were two pictures though were I had breasts that I could completely excuse and that's because they were barely noticeable and where obviously there to imply that I was older than I looked. Possibly because they didn't(couldn't?) believe a pre-teen did all that.

Heh. Fools.

Anyway, it seemed a lot of people wanted to know what happened to me after that night. All Kick-Ass would tell them though was that I was alive and well.

I might join this site… I mean, if Dave can, why not? Maybe I could write some articles on what it's like to be in the field and what kind of training is important. Or how to get blood out of your cape. That seems like the sort of article they'd like.

I don't know why Dave decided to contact them about what happened, but seeing everything they put up in honor of Daddy was sure worth it. I'm going to have to find some way to thank him.
