So today was eventful!

Not only was there this huge fire in California that we helped to put out, but some dude who called himself Enigma Man decided that he wanted to take over the world with his mysteriousness. 'Course, it wasn't just that, otherwise it would have been no big deal. No, this guy had some crazy shadow powers or something. Reeeeally easy to lose track of. One minute he was there, then suddenly he was gone, hiding in plain sight or something. And then he'd leap out of another shadow fifty feet away, and, well, that was a pain. It's not really easy to hit a guy if he doesn't stop dodging.

I should know, I do it all the time.

In hindsight, the shadow thingy itself was pretty cool, except the dude wouldn't shut up about how mysterious he was and how no one would be able to defeat him because he was so straaaange and unknooooown and all that stuff. It was, to use the understatement of the century, annoying.

But anyway, Enigma Man is all defeated and stuff... I guess we'll leave it to the cops and the government to decide how the hell they're going to keep him locked up.

So now it's my turn at monitor duty waaaaay up in the Watchtower. Don't worry, Batman, I'm totally paying attention, really I am.

((OOC: Yes, I totally get to make up supervillains because I'm taking Flash from between Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. XDD I thought the idea was awesome, shut up.))

...so kinda robots but not really.

Are they still around?

Here and there, but not as many as there used to be.

So, out of curiosity, what do you do in the midst of all this?

I'm a pirate, naturally! We rob from the elite, who hoard their resources, and give to the needy. The orphans, the displaced, the isolated areas who don't get aid.

Awesome! You're like Robin Hood, only from the FUTURE. That's so cool.

As a result, we're among the most wanted people on our world.

Well, yeah, I can imagine they wouldn't be too happy about that.

But sometimes it's more fun to be the bad guy.

I wouldn't know about that, but then again I guess it's all kind of relative. I mean, to lots of people you're the good guy, right?

As you said. We're bad guys in that we're in direct opposition to the established order.

So I'd be more inclined to call you good guys, but hey, that might just be me.
