Obsession - (noun) An idea or thought that continually occupies or intrudes on a person's mind / the state of being obsessed. Somehow the words are both a comfort and a sense of worry. Mary-Sue's mind is somewhere dancing off in the far reaches of her subconscious and she is only partially conscious of the moment before her. All things also lead to a certain point. There are paths, there are doors, there are timelines and there are obsessions. One of these days they're going to come together and her hyper awareness of the fact only seems to make her smile. It's acceptance. We obsess, it's our nature. She wanted this. The idea of being a superhero. Of making a change. It's just that somewhere in the middle of it became littered with grey. Superhero is black and white, everything else is grey, so what exactly are you a superhero of? The law? Life? Who invented morality? Green eyes blink before she looks at the other woman. Smile just curling the corner of Mary-Sue's lips. Fingers reach up to wipe away a droplet of water running along the curve of her nose, stinging the cut. Water that's surely mixed with a bit of sweat. She really shouldn't even be the hero right now. She doesn't have the disguise. Doesn't have the persona. Why does that stop people? Because life is actually grey. You can't expect just to be a hero without consequences. Everything has consequences. Sometimes the heroes have to break the law to end some suffering. Sometimes you have to tell the people you love their wrong - that shouldn't hurt, that shouldn't have consequences, but it does.

"Some people call that passion."   Mary-Sue replies, slightly raspy voice a low purr of a sound. She stands up straight, eyes taking in the destruction of the moment. Nothing like thrill. Nothing like seemingly being trapped. Isn't that the connotation of obsession? Entrapment. Well, unfortunately for everyone that set off that bomb that left them in a pile of rubble - she has the power to find her way out of a trap. Metaphorically, currently physically, mentally. She's found a way out of her addiction, she's found her way back to her sister and she's going to get them out of here. There's another timeline where this never happened and in another timeline obsession is passion.
