Pure [Drabble #7]

If we're actually making the superhero thing happen I gotta practice. Here we go!

I don't think I'm a hero. 
The definition of a "hero" is a person who is idolized and looked up to for their courage and noble qualities. Someone with a pure, good heart built to die for others. That's exactly the opposite of me. Maybe it defines the others on the team, but still. 

I have no idea how to be a superhero. I can't pull the underdog story and go from metaphorical rags to riches. I'm not Superman, born to fly and punch things and whatever else he does.
I'm just regular young adult Casey who needs to find a college and get a job and "settle down with a nice man" according to my parents. 
I wasn't born for supervillains and secrecy and little children dressing up as me for Halloween. 

...Not as if that isn't cool or anything. It totally is. So is being praised and thanked for your hard work and loved by a ton of people and possibly made comics about. Okay, maybe the superhero thing IS kind of rad.

Maybe I'll give it a shot.
