Also fucking "Well it will divide us from the Exiles" ARE YOU FUCKING DEFECTIVE MENTALLY; NO IT WILL NOT. Fucking RE-PAVED ROADS AND SCHOOL SERVICES DO NOT MAKE FOR A FRACTURED SOCIETY.
WHAT IF WE UPSET THE INITIATIVE AND THE EXILES? :(
Not that I was going to come out and just say oh right by the way the Initiative gave me what passes for their blessing so maybe you should all bear that in mind before you flip your shit.
Except maybe I should have.
Or maybe I should have pointed out that maybe part of the reason why the Exiles don't take us seriously in the first place is because we're disorganized as fuck.
It's okay; it just gives me more "i"s to draw hearts on.
And yeah, he's a fucking problem-- wait, no, he's GOT a fucking problem, PERSONALITY-WISE.
Normally I wouldn't be committing this shit to text, because it'd look bad if someone hacked my phone, but tbh I SORT OF WANT ALL OF THIS TO GO PUBLIC SO ALL YOU ASSHOLES KNOW THAT I AM FED UP WITH YOUR DESIRE TO MAKE UP BULLSHIT EXCUSES TO COVER FOR YOUR PETTY FUCKING NEED TO SUPPRESS CHANGE BECAUSE YOU ARE SCARED.

I had such high hopes for her. I think she has some valid points, I just wish she could have, idk, kept them to herself until the meeting WHERE PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD CAN HAVE A RATIONAL DISCUSSION, MAYBE.
OK, the thing is that I really want to agree with you but I think she could be useful if she's on our side. She contacted me the other day with a list of "conditions" for working with us — I think if we meet them (or at least appear to) and she throws her support behind this venture, we'll have a big advantage.
1) attendance at all meetings 2) access to records & paperwork 3) treated as an equal, not a subordinate 4) the setup of a formal training system for those interested in participating but no experience
Doable, I think, considering 1) attendance will be encouraged, 2) the only actual paperwork I will want to deal with = meeting minutes, 3) I'm happy to humor her, and 4) every good government needs interns.

This would all have been fine if our resident Senator hadn't gone stirring up shit so eloquently. It's always the nice ones, isn't it?

And absolutely; the nice ones are usually the dumb ones.

If my suspicions are right, Helena's more than capable of keeping it professional. She might have to be in kevlar and a cowl to do it, but...
Then again, my default assumption is that everyone from Gotham that's wound up here is a vigilante, soooo I could be way off.
But there's no way in hell she's just a high school teacher.

Also because they're cool?
