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

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

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."

"Let me make sure I understand this," Anemone said slowly. "There's been 'past attempts' at incarceration, indicating he's done all this before. The previous tries at locking him up didn't work, and there's no indication that he plans to change. Right?"

"That is one take on a potential nemesis in question," She-Ra confirmed.

"Why wasn't he executed after the first few times to take over the world or whatever?" she asked. "Is there a lack of evidence or something?"

Anemone wasn't trying to be difficult, really, she just didn't understand what all the fuss was about.

"That is the question I'm posing to you. This isn't about one case in particular so much as how, as a superhero, you would solve the problem," She-Ra pointed out. "Do you believe execution is the only solution to crime?"
