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."

"I want to think that people can be rehabilitated," Warren said, still speaking toward his desk. "But it really does depend on the situation. The person you're setting free might go on to do the same thing again. But if you just end their life in cold blood, there's no taking that back."

He hated this class. Hated it just like he hated everything else.

"Lock him up. It might take three lifetimes, but if there's a chance there's something in there worth saving, it might be worth it."

"I appreciate your thoughts on this, Warren," She-Ra replied, noting he was speaking to the desk. "Having faith that you can help people see that what they're doing is wrong takes a lot." She should know.

"It's easier when you know that even villains have somebody at home who misses them," Warren replied. And hey, that desk was an awesome listener, too. "They deserve to be prosecuted for what they did. I'm not saying that they even can be turned around. But... I'd rather try."

"And all we, as heroes, can do is try," She-Ra agreed. "I would rather stop my enemy from finishing his dastardly crime a hundred times over than give up on trying to show him what's right."
