Insecurity

Fortis: "What makes a hero? Is it their backstory? Their abilities? Can it be made? Or is it something everyone is born with?"

Kid 1: "Ummm.... their powers?"

Fortis: "(Rubs his fake beard) Hmm that's one thing but if that were the case we wouldn't have villains (Gives candy to kid 1)."

Kid 2: "(Waves hand franticly) Oh Oh Oh I know their backstory!"

Fortis: "(High fives kid 2) Good guess but wrong (Kid 2 goes from smiling to frowning) Two people could have the same story but ones a hero while the others a villain (Gives kid 2 a king size chocolate bar)."

Kid 3: "(Quietly while looking down) How their born....."

Fortis: "(Picks Kid 3 up) We have a winner and their prize is of course (places a sack of candy about the same size as him next to Kid 3) A hero is someone who choses the path of heroics while a Villain is someone who walks the path that makes them most happy."

Kid 1: "Um.... Then how are they bad?"

Fortis: "Simple they don't mind or care about hurting others while hero's try their best to save everyone no matter what."

All kids: "(Eyes of admiration) Are you a hero!?"

Fortis: "(Laughs while he gets rid of his fake beard) Sorry to disapoint kiddos but I'm someone in the mix."

All kids: "(Confused looks all around) Whats a mix?"

Fortis: "(Weak smile full of sadness) Someone who tries their best to be good but does so in a way that's different compared to hero's."

Kid 3: "(Quite) What do you mean?"

Fortis: "What I am is someone who instead of trying to get everyone to work through their problems and become better like Superman (Sad smile) I instead make sure they can't hurt others instead."

Before the kids could ask anymore questions about what he means or his past Fortis goes up up and far away from Gotham as he makes his way back towards Mount Justice and see what they were up to.

But when he got there he saw that the infamous or famous Roy harper was now a part of the team and from Fortis could see Artemis was not feeling too good about this but from what he knew this was challenge was not for him but for another.

Fortis: "Hey Wally (Waves hand)! I need your help with something."

Wally: "(Surprised and almost choked on whatever snack he was eating but proceeds to gulp it down it down like a cartoon character) Sure man what's up."

Fortis: "(Moves arm around Wally to whisper) I need you to help Artemis."

Wally: "(Whispers) Why?"

Fortis: "(Whispers) Because she looks like she needs some help."

Wally: "(Whispers) Then why don't you do it."

Fortis: "(Pats back) That my friend is a good question."

Saying that Fortis just walks away leaving Wally confused again while Fortis watches everyone in Mount Justice smiling at how everyone here was going to be a greater person than he no matter the age while Ghia'ta and Per Lynn made sure he knew how loved he was.

Fortis: "(Bumps into Zatanna) Oops my bad."

Zatanna: "No it's okay it was my fault it's just been a hectic day is all."

Fortis: "(Looks around) I can see that but do you need help with anything."

Zatanna: "No not really but (Bows down and smiles) thanks for asking anyway."
