Hey, if you accept a guest role in a superhero story where you're not the headliner there's always a change that you're going to end up as the bitch.

Besides, who on Earth is trained to be an ambassador ro an alien world? Vizh genuinely has more perspective and experience to suit him to the job than almost anyone.

I wanted to have at least one plot strand focus on him (and on each of the young cast) while I had them assembled.
