Enter one fed-up crazy woman.
"So. Single mum. Used to it. Raising two boys, all has been well for the last twelve years."
She pulls a pack of Rothmans out of the back pocket of her jeans and lights up, a true sign that she's at her wits' end. She never smokes in public. Like....less so than she drinks in public, which is saying a hell of a lot.
"Except now puberty is hitting. Suddenly I'm getting hormones along with the sass. Suddenly my sweet little boys are turning into aggressive little men. Should I douse myself in testosterone to establish dominance? Or should I find a better outlet for my little hellions?"
This marks the first real question Hippolyta Hollister has asked in many, many years. Pay heed.

Hippolyta will never, ever admit to being the worst sort of helicopter mom, though.
"You've been here...what? Five minutes? Kiddo, I've seen things that'd curl your hair. This is the realm of gods, monsters, and superheroes. And you can't tell the players if you don't have a program."

"And you do not know what sort of monsters or superheroes are in my world. Or who I have met in my time here."

"Sure," she drawls. "Whatever. I hope that never bites you in the arse."

"We have always felt it was important to prepare to face anything the world, or the Nexus throws at us. So we are not unprepared. And now, we teach our children those same lessons. So they can make their own decisions."
