| One of my 'pets'. It's a summoned demon. Most definitely not a piece of my own anatomy! |
Warehouse guard duty is... Boring. When you're guarding a shipment (like I usually do), you can at least look out the window and see the changing landscapes. With warehouses, you just keep walking the same route over and over again and things grow old fairly quickly. Every now and then, I just leave a 'pet' of mine to continue the guard route and go off the beaten path to mix things up a bit, but it's still quite monotonous.
The last few days have been quiet. I have seen one of the guard occasionally, making his rounds. There's an alley cat which walks by every so often. The rain even let up once or twice, but aside from that, nothing has really happened. Still, it gives me time to practice with my abilities - fine motor control with psychokinesis, teleportation precision, things like that. And, it gives me time to think about stuff. About the Titans, criminals... Myself.
Maybe it's the incessant rain outside. Maybe it's the general pall of twilight that falls on this city, but I can't say I've been thinking positively about myself. I mean, what kind of heroine am I? Instead of using my abilities for 'good', I stay out of the fight by protecting shipments of dangerous chemicals, valuable objects or powerful technology. And then ask money for it - though I do kind of need it. If I asked, any of the teams would probably have me. If they even know who I am.
But... No.
My abilities work better if I'm alone than if I'm in a group - or rather, there is less danger involved for others if I work on my own. I might ask money but it's not that much. And the stuff I guard... The transports are weak links in security and so far there's only been one guy who managed to give me the slip. Stupid cross guy. And I go places other Titans might never go and help people there if there's a need for it. Little towns. Out of the way places. You'd be surprised how many giant scorpions, spiders and sandworms I've encountered so far.
Lousy rain. When I'm done with this assignment, I'm heading to Metropolis for a few days.
