"You know," Megan said idly as Dan sped Archie toward LexCorp's Paris tower, "I know all kinds of dirt on Lex Luthor from back home. Enough to bust him even if he's not the one trying to kill Adrian."

Dan leaned back a bit "That's great and all, but how are we suppose to get our hands on evidence, without we ourselves going to jail? And then they'll be an investigation on how you got all of that, and come one Megan, Lex Luthor has money."
He wasn't really thinking in complete sentences at the moment.

"Back home everybody knows who he is. He's like a byword for evil."
She paused.
"Evil and baldness."

"Talks too much," Rorschach snarled at Dan.

Dan shot Rorschach a look "That's where you come from, here he's been a beacon of hope for displaces refugee's" he turned to her "everyone know's he's evil, but just how were about to find out."

"Maybe he's just jealous of Adrian. That'd be enough, with how his mind works, right? I mean... Adrian's like, ten years older than him, right?"

"And Adrian's like... I mean, there's way more going for him in the public sphere. And he looks ten years younger, and he's not getting a little paunchy like Luthor is, and Adrian's got an adoring boyfriend to boot-"

Rorschach made a sudden choking noise.

"That he's gay, you mean?"
She crossed her arms and added, a little hotly, "Is that a problem, Rorschach?"

Rorschach's head jerked in a way that could only mean that he was suddenly looking intently at her.
"Extension of soft liberal sensibilities. Veidt grown too permissive since he quit. Was never as hard on criminals as they deserved. Let them live. Dragged pimps and drug dealers and murderers to the police instead of dispensing justice. Relied on corrupt system to take out the trash. Quit when bored, to sell fantasies and coddle public."
He turned again, this time so that he was facing forward.
"But still one of us."

Megan glanced down at her costume through her goggles and smiled a little despite herself.
"Yeah. One of us."
She didn't care whether Rorschach had meant to include her in that particular us. She was part of it, whether he approved it or not. She was in a costume, getting ready to storm Lex Luthor's- Lex Luthor's!- building and dig for information that could possibly save Adrian Veidt's life.
She was a goddamn superhero.
