Commander and Leader
Prologue
Dear Diary,
Life in the City of Townsville has always been a mixed bag of ups and downs. I was born into a confusing, crazy kind of life, but it's one that, I have to admit, I've grown to love. First, I was an outcast, a freak in a town of strangers. Then I became a scapegoat, someone to blame for my first nemesis' near victory. After that...I became a heroine. Sure, there were still low points in my life, but, for the most part, I was a celebrity! The town loved my sisters and me for the protection we gave them. They idolized us for our power, which seemed to only grow with every passing day.
These days? It's...hard to explain. I know I'm idolized, I can see it when I walk through the streets. I can also tell that I'm envied and maybe even resented when I walk through the halls at school. I'm eighteen now, in my senior year of high school, and I would be baffled if I managed to make it through these years without a few enemies. It's fine, though, I've grown used to having enemies. And I do have friends, people I hold dear that I know I can always count on. It's just...some nights I get this strange feeling. I feel so lonely and I can't explain why. Or, maybe I can, and I just don't want to face what the truth is.
I went on my first date when I was fourteen, with a boy named Mike Believe. He's a nice boy, a friend we've had since we were in kindergarten. I had fun. It's just...it was impossible for us to really relax around each other. He was always nervous, constantly second-guessing himself and terrified that he would make me angry. Which is silly! I'm not a temperamental person...okay that's a lie, I am known for having a temper, but, I would never stay angry with Mike. When we broke up, he started to cry...after a while, it got on my nerves and I ended up yelling at him, which caused him to cry even more. We've been awkward around each other since...
When I was fifteen, my sisters each picked out a date for me. Buttercup picked a boy named Del Fernandez. He was a nice guy, well-liked and charismatic, the darling of the wrestling team. He liked to brag about how much he could bench press and how many matches he'd won. I think, when we started dating, he was undefeated. God, he was cute, I loved how I felt when he hugged me...but, things didn't last long. He loved to roughhouse, but, eventually he broke up with me because he couldn't stand that I always beat him when we wrestled, even if he was twice my size. Admittedly, after I kept him pinned for an hour, while he struggled to get free, I just couldn't look at him the same again either.
After Del, Bubbles asked me if I was interested in trying something new. That's when I started dating Bonnie Peters. I'd never considered dating a girl before, but Bonnie was special. She was gorgeous, and smart, and always fun to be with. My sisters say I was the happiest they'd ever seen me with Bonnie. We lasted...almost three months. Then, one night, she called me to say it wasn't working. Between school, student council, being a superheroine, my job at Hotdog on a Skewer, and my community service, the time we spent together just kept getting smaller and smaller. She wanted someone she could keep up with. Someone with a regular schedule. Someone who didn't have to stop every date to put out a fire or fight a monster. She wanted to still be friends, but I can't remember the last time I spoke with her.
The last time I went on a date was over two years ago now. I had just turned sixteen and I think I was desperate. A young man named Scott, he never actually told me his last name, asked me out on a date and, against my better judgment, I said yes. The first date was okay, at best. He spoke down to me, he refused to make eye contact with me, and I just know he was undressing me with his eyes whenever he did look at me. But, it felt exciting. It felt naughty and forbidden. So even after a mediocre first date, I agreed to a second. That was our last date...one of Townsville's oh-so-brilliant criminals decided to start shooting up the restaurant. I took care of it, with no casualties I might add, but...I remember looking back and seeing him cowering behind our table. I finally made eye contact with him, as a bullet hit, and bounced off, my cheek. I paid the bill and left him after the shooters had been apprehended...and haven't been on a date since.
I always imagined the hardest thing about finding love and romance would be protecting them from my enemies. I thought, if I got with someone, my foes would find out and put them in danger. My father had been endangered so many times in my childhood, how could I let someone I love go through that? It dawned on me, after that date with Scott...that wasn't the hard part. The hardest part about having someone to love was...finding that person. I'd grown up fighting monsters, thwarting villainous plots, and constantly testing my will against death itself. Compared to that, listening to someone talk about stubbing their toe, or building a fence with their uncle, or anything...anything at all. It was so...
Boring.
I'm bored with humans...bored by humans.
And that's...why I'll always be alone.
