Heroing 101 [Wednesday, period 2, class #4]

There was no Hammer today. Instead, a blonde woman in very little clothing with a whole lot of cleavage stood at the front of the classroom. Some may see similarities in the face to another blonde who seemed to be missing from class, but only if they were looking at her face. "Hello, friends. My name is She-Ra. Your teacher was unavailable today and asked me to speak with you in his stead about a topic very dear to my heart." Which she touched because it was the literal thing to do as she walked the floor before them.

"Diplomacy. The art of dealing with your nemesis when he is at his weakest. You've fought and won the battle but tell me, what now? Do you destroy your enemy when he has no ability to defend himself? Do you allow him to live out his life in jail, which he is likely to break out of given past attempts at incarceration? Or do you set him free, allowing your compassion and hope for a brighter future to set an example to him?" She paused allowing the students to consider the options she'd provided. "Is there another alternative? Let's discuss what you would do, as super heroes fighting super villains."

Helen shrugged. "When we faced Them, we killed those we could and chased the rest out of the worlds in such a way that they could never return."

"Sending them home sounds quite ideal," She-Ra replied with a smile. "However, taking a life in exchange for a crime?" It was sort of stunning her that so many had this response.

Helen shrugged again, looking down. "When we came to stop them from destroying all of the worlds, They attacked us. We could choose to die or defend ourselves."

"I'm sorry, I'm trying to imagine a world where there's no other option, but in my experience, there's always an alternative to killing," She-Ra informed her.

"I hope you never learn otherwise," Helen said quietly.
