Rules are great to have in theory, but not every rule works for every person. I learned that the hard way with Batwoman. She wanted me to be more like her - training, everything - and while I'd always looked up to her...wanting to be like someone and having that someone wanting to put you into a specific mold are two very different things, sometimes at odds with each other.

[The most important thing that she'd learned? Though they were both Kane women, they were each vastly different from each other. Kate had suffered loss, she was looking for a way to serve. Bette had been in it for the glory, and now she was looking to prove that she was more than just that. They both wanted to do good, but how they wanted to go about it were two very different things.]

It's funny. You ran away from the thing that I sometimes wish the most for. I'm not judging you for it, but I have to wonder if I'd have felt the same if I was part of the colony, as you put it. Or would I also have hightailed it away, back to LA or something.
