Cosmic Fran Pt. 2

Do you remember those choose your own adventure books? I loved those books. I mean. sure, sometimes you'd choose the lame adventure but there was always that little moment of fear, excitement and anticipation when you just didn't know what was going to happen next. I loved those books so much the notion of them sort of become my life.  Every day is a "choose your own adventure" for me. 

See I am not one of those brooding superheroes who is constantly at war with his purpose and his methods. I have made PLENTY of bad judgements and decisions, but I don't let it weigh on me. Most of the time. I am not exaggerating when I say I can literally do anything, be anything the situation warrants. Does it always go to plan? No. But who hasn't crushed a few buildings and/or set public landmarks ablaze? It comes with the territory!  Breaking eggs and all that. ​I am tired of rich boys with toys hogging the spotlight and then crying about it. ​It's time for a different kind of hero. A Fran kind of hero.

Yes, I know "Fran" isn't the most superhero of names, but I have never thought once about changing it. Fran is who I am. I did add the "Cosmic" because I like a little pizazz, but don't be calling me "super" or "captain" nothing. I'm Fran. That's all I need to be. No shade Cap, just not my style. ​You know earlier when I was talking about secret identities. Maybe I just don't like secrets. Masks, fake human names, assigned superhero names. 

If I sound pissed and defensive it's because I am. We are told all our lives to "just be ourselves" but then every institution, structure, process, place, etc. forces you to conform.  I was not born to conform. 

And I simply won't be doing it anymore.
