With great fame, comes great danger
So, they had agreed to go the charity ball.  Heather recognized a few people, she thought.  The mayor, for one.  Maybe a couple local celebrities.  And sadly, a fair amount of media coverage inside, though the team had managed to escape at least some of the attention.

She was carrying  a drink.  Not because she could drink it, but because it at least gave her something to do with her hands.  She was a little uncomfortable, she had to admit, with this much of an overt display of wealth and power.

But it was good for them and good for the city and, more importantly, good for the people they'd helped.  She just had to keep telling herself that.

"Huh," Lenny seems to think on that. He kind of fades out, looking over to Jess and Harry before stubbornly looking elsewhere.

Yeeeeah. Awwwkward.

"I don't see it all the time," she said. "I kinda have to be really looking for it."

"Kinda reminds me of how Bird-lady does't let me use the bulk of my powers unless 'hope' is really needed."

"I'm glad I don't have that kind of restriction," Heather said. "Then again... I suppose I'm kind of always on."

He chuckles. "There's a joke there, but I won't touch it."

Heather laughed as well. "I appreciate it."

"So what do you think of all this? I'm not exactly used to stepping in high society."

"It's not exactly my scene either. I've gotten some confused looks from people who saw me at the fire. I don't think they know what to make of the chair. 'Is he pretending? Is it a different person?' That kind of thing?"

She nodded. "Makes sense. Probably surprised a lot of people."

She went on. "On the plus side, I've gotten a handful of cards from people who want to commission sculptures."

"Yeah. It feels pretty good to be going outside and doing stuff again. I don't think I really left our for the first couple months after this happened."

"It suits you," he agreed. "You look good..I mean being out and about." He clears her throat, hoping to dispel some awkwardness.

Heather smiled and perhaps there was a little darker coloration spreading along her crystaline cheeks.

"Thanks," she said. "I'm glad you decided to stick with us."

There's a chuckle at that. "She's good at that. Of course, she's grown-up around this kinda mess."

"I can't picture that," he says, shaking his head.

Heather kinda shrugged. "Well, I'm from Opal. We've got a couple Starmen, the Shade, Mr. Bennetti... Black Condor and the Dibnys for a little while... So heroes aren't really anything new seeing around."

She went on. "But yeah. Growing up knowing them and everything? Having them as "family"? I can't picture it."

Lenny nodded. He resolved to just enjoy Heather's company and ignore what was going on with Jess and Harry. "So..was your hair red before?"

She shook her head. "Not even close. I had dark hair before hand."

He studies her for a moment. "You know, I can totally see you with dark hair."

Heather giggled a little. "Maybe," she said. "But can you picture me being black?"

To Lenny's credit he doesn't show much of a surprised reaction. In fact, he studies her face a bit more. "Yes, yes I can."

She smiled. "Yeah. I think it kinda surprised Harry and Jess when they went back to Opal with me. Realized it had never really come up."

"I can understand why they may have," Lenny said.

"My aunt Carol is black actually. God it's been awhile since I've seen my cousins."
