Could be worse. That could have been the interview for a 48 minute interview.





And a lot of the time, nobody believes them.





It's a pretty universal and obnoxious thing, that if one person happens to be able to get something done easy, they earn hate because they "didn't put in the time" or feel enough pain to get there.








In a way. Anna has never really seen just how far hate and fear will go. Nena has. So when Nena detects hatred in her direction, she steels for a fight to avoid being disabled or imprisoned etc. But she doesn't fault Anna's hopefulness. She wishes she could be like that, too.





That's smart of her.





Lara is only slightly older than that. She's became a superhero because she found a super team by accident at 16, and was bored with living her life for school. She found it way more complicated than she asked for, and ended up retiring after a couple of years to complete her education, working on the side as a spokesperson and model representing various causes. That's around the time she visited the Parodyverse, and decided she missed the superhero thing.





Lara is has no objections to the grey area. She's willing to work with anyone as long as they're not going on a murder spree in her presence. Hopefully the Baroness, the Hood, etc, would be smart enough to figure that part out, and keep Lara neutral.

Where it might get tricky later is if someone in the Lair Legion faults her for not taking them all down while she had the chance. From her point of view, she doesn't believe she has the right to do that just for them existing.

I guess you could say Lara is highly individual.





That could get interesting if the others have a plan to turn on Lara at some point. VV might be on the fence about it, both since Lara has done nothing to harm her, and because VV might feel like she might be next. Kind of like the Hunger Games - VV might feel like her smartest alliance is with the one who *won't* turn on her.

And also, she can kind of use a friend "on the inside" for her next run-in with the Lair Legion.





Keiko is far less aggressive, because she believes it betrays her intentions. She would behave calmly, maybe even friendly and compliant. All the while, though, she would be looking at indirect ways she can either disable the powerful meta, or simply disappear abruptly, if needed.





In that case, the Alliance probably has already negotiated some sort of trade arrangement. The only thing they won't trade is their most advanced weapons, though; way back in their history they were already stung by that.
