SUMMARY: Crimefighter Robin is irritated by her new
sidekick, "The Kick," who has dressed in bright green spandex -
which isn't really optimal for protection in a fight - and seems
hopelessly naive about crimefighting; everything he knows, he
learned from comic books. However, she needs help; she's not
been herself since she was shot recently, and is in a weakened
state. And though she's skeptical that he wants to be a hero for
altruistic reasons - he was a PR major and want to establish his
"brand" - at least he knows enough not to wear a cape, which
would be both impractical and dangerous. And he says his true
motivation was being a fat kid who was bullied, and now
wants to stand up against injustice. She also tells him it's
good that he trains, but rarely gets into actual fights; comic
books make fighting look cool, but true heroism includes
avoiding fights unless they're absolutely necessary. As a woman
calls for help and the sounds of chaos and calamity arise in the
distance, Robin reluctantly allows The Kick to accompany her to
the rescue. |
