I told a nearly omnipotent being this today, and he smiled at me, and agreed. That's right, folks, the Birds of Prey took a trip to Oa to see the Monitor. Most of you probably aren't familiar with the Monitor, but he's kinda like a god, I guess.
I don't know how many of you are reading this. I writing this in the aftermath of the Sinestro Corps attacks on our planet. Many of you don't have access to the internet, or even power. Those murders killed many, and did massive damage with their attacks. All the worlds heroes responded, as did the armed forces of the world, to do battle with the invaders. The Birds were at Star Labs, doing battle with the force sent there, and we were doing ok, until they gated in reinforcements. Luckily, Wondergirl and Supergirl showed up as reinforcements on our side, and were were able to take down the bastards with not much damage to the lab. Octave was knocked unconscious during the battle, and Gecko and I were shaken up, but we took our licks, cleaned up, and went out and found more of the bastards. I'm resting now, and I'm lucky enough to live in the embassy, so we have our own power source. If you need food, water, or just to charge your phone, come on over. The grounds are already flooded with tents, I don't know if there is room, but if you can find a spot, you'll be welcome, too. Many of Luthorcorps buildings are still intact, so you could also find food and shelter there. Lex loves a photo op, and charity is usually a great one. To those of you whose homes are intact, think about helping someone else out. We will be rebuilding from this for a while, and its not over. They'll be back. We'll fight them off again. All of us will, together.
The portion of the Monitors intelligence that conversed with us was a little piece of his curiosity. He said he was Curiosity, and so I took that as its name. Curiosity appeared as a beautiful child, perfect in every way, except for maybe his lack of hair, but it looked as if that was the way he was supposed to look. He was so beautiful I had to pick him up. Its been a while since I've held a child like that. I know it wasn't really a child, but sue me. We went to the Monitor because of this invasion we saw coming. We asked him what we needed to do, and he said we are doing it. We are walking the path. He said we can beat this thing. I believe him. We will beat this thing. Let that be what you take away from this, hope, and the image of a woman holding a beautiful child on her hip. Life goes on.
Baggage
We all have some, and we all bring our baggage to our new relationships. We got to deal with some of mine a few days ago, when my mother, the supervillain, introduced herself to my team. Today, we got to deal with some of Octave's baggage. And her baggage is sizable. Like, starship sizable. Octave's sister showed up, and tried to forcibly recruit her into her perverted pirate crew. And, I gotta say, they were pretty good. They trapped us in a big force wall, and then tried to take us out, one at a time. They took out Gecko, and almost got me, too. I had to grab Gecko and run. When they saw they weren't going to get us, they ran away to their friggin space ship, and launched missiles at Metropolis, to punish us for fighting back, I guess. Ellegy, if you are reading this, know that you are the worst kind of coward, and I'm going to someday enjoyed tearing your spaceship apart around you, someday. Also know this, if you kill an innocent in your quest to kidnap Octave, I will avenge those lost. You have been warned.
On a completely different note, Superboy and I, what, got together? There is a lot of stuff brewing, a lot of stuff going on, and another team of newish heroes were mentioned, the Outsiders. They were a bunch of young and upcoming heroes, and they got recruited by the Justice League to do something really dangerous. Long story short, they never came back. Nobody knows what happened. They just disappeared. More heroes, gone. I took it as a reminder. I'm trained to be a warrior, and sometimes, warriors die. So, I guess I'll gather my rosebuds. God, Superboy, it really does sound kinda dumb, doesn't it. Can't believe they stuck him with that one. And, it makes me sound like a total perv... :-)
Laterz.

Serious Shit
First, its come to my attention that I have some readers in the superhero community. I suppose if you are going to put it out there, you should expect it to be read. So, welcome all! I hope you enjoy my random thoughts.
So, do I tell you, dear reader about what is going on? Do you want to know? I imagine most of my readers don't know about most of the serious crap going in the world. In fact, I'm sure I don't know half the stuff that is going on in the world, but the stuff I do know about is serious. Which kinda has me concerned about the the other stuff. Is telling you going to lead to hysteria, or is not telling you going to lead to fear? Or, does this not matter at all? Maybe not enough people read this to really matter, or people just consider it a prank of some kind? Screw it. I shouldn't lie, or not tell you the truth, not if it concerns you. And this seems to concern everyone. Remember my Fear entry, below? There are several different color rings, and each ring is powered by a different trait. The green ones are powered by will, the orange by greed, the red by rage, and the yellow by fear. There are purple ones and blue ones, too, but I'm not sure of their traits. Anyway, the yellow ring wielders come from another dimension, apparently, and they want to come here to fight the green lanterns. Now, there are a few yellow wielders around, but they want to come here en mass. And, they are planning on using this planet as their base of operations. There is a lot of fear out there, and its making them stronger. In fact, we seem to be very susceptible to fear. We panic, and do stupid things. People use fear to prey on us. People use fear to try and manipulate us, to control us. Maybe that is why they are trying to come her. Maybe every time some government tool use fear to manipulate the people, he is giving them a little more power. Am I getting morbid? Anyway, fear make them more powerful, and they are going to try and come here with their big Anti-Monitor boss, and try to take over. So, try to think happy thoughts, and don't let fear affect your life so much.
Also, some rogue Kryptonians have found themselves a planet, and are trying to breed themselves a new civilization. Of course, they are lead by a criminal Kryptonian general, and have captured Superman. In addition, said general, Zod, is hostile to Earth, and he'll want to conquer us.
So, do you feel better or worse? Big mystery, where is Superman, solved, but not in a good way. I'll probably take some heat from my fellow heroes for this. I understand why they tried to hide his absence at first, but its time you knew.

My Mother, the Supervillain
Well, its official. My mother is the supervillain, Dark Angel. She has her own villain group and everything.
And last night, she set a trap for me. Now that I have superpowers, and, maybe even more importantly, now that I have a connection to Wonder Woman, mommy dearest has decided its time for me to come home. So, she lured us out by threatening to release a homicidal Kryptonian in custody, and then struck. She didn't appear herself until we had taken out most of her lackeys. She brought along her witch, Circe. Yes, THAT Circe. We fought Roulette, who was still, at the time, collecting a government paycheck (not much longer, I'm thinking), Silver Swan, Darkfire (Starfire's sister), Penny Dreadful, and some gadgeteer whose name I've already forgotten. His performance at the event really wasn't impressive enough for me to remember his name. If Circe hadn't fetched him back from where I left him, he probably still wouldn't be back at my mother's lair. I fly REALLY fast. And gadgeteer boy thought it would be a great idea to grab onto me. So, I flew him about 40 kilometers away from the battle site, broke his grip on me, and got back to the fight. Circe had to fetch him back. Its too bad. He really didn't have a chance to fall very far. After we had taken out Roulette, Darkfire, ditched the guy, and mostly taken out Silver Swan, my mother showed up to salvage the fight. Now, she brought Circe with her. I'm sure Circe could've taken us all out by herself. She's been a witch for several thousand years, and is rumored to be the lover of one of the Greek gods (Its best not to gossip about gods, they can get persnickety), but, apparently she's on some kind of leash. She's made some kind of agreement about something, cause a few seconds after she showed up, Doctor Fate showed up! The sinister helmet himself! Anyway, he showed up, they talked, and she scooted. I will admit to getting really mad when I saw my mother take the field. I tried to truck her, but she's very good. I ended up trucking Penny Dreadful, instead. My mother probably has the people to get this done, eventually. And she has Circe to really mind fuck me if she gets her hands on me. So, if I disappear for a while, then show up acting all evil, well, you know why.
