Hero Rising
“Saving people was as normal to me as fighting.
I was a healthy twenty-something vampire whose abilities, to put it modestly, were the best in the world. I couldn’t be expected to rot on an island and not help those who needed it. I admitted to myself that I missed kicking the asses of bad guys. Oh, I missed it like crazy. Lena was right about that, but my true motives were the feel-good reward of triumphing over adversity and evil. It was in my emotional makeup that I needed to do this a lo...t.
However, my family needed me, too. I knew that and that was why I made the decision to become a superhero. It was my reason for existence: to save those who could not save themselves. If only there was a way to balance it, where I could just do an assignment on a regular basis, but come back to my little family and retreat into being a husband and a father. I loved that, too. I wanted it all.
I needed to talk to Tommy. This time I wanted to have a serious talk with him about what he thought.MoreLess
