Thank you very much for the kind words, everyone!
Iolanthe: I think I recall reading somewhere that child soldiers in Africa, in the midst of a horrible situation, still have their kid stuff interests. There’s no doubt Kara’s been through a lot, but she had love and support through all of it. Plus, I think having superpowers gave her a feeling of empowerment that was reassuring; she never felt helpless. She’s grown up a little, but she’s still a kid, I think.
