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.
