Dear Berenice, why did you choose to join the marshals instead of enlisting in the national superhero corps?

emeralddodge:

Because Alysia got away, and I just couldn’t take it.

It’s been three years since the hospital battle, and I still can’t stand that she literally slipped through my fingers. That damn cow ran away when I was grappling with her, and she hasn’t been seen since. The Marshals are fugitive hunters (among other things), and they’re heavily involved in rounding up the remaining Westerners and, now, supervillains. I’m going to be there when they finally take Alysia down.

The NSC is just a new way for superheroes to serve, but with more oversight. It’s still city-based and focused on eliminating street crime. I want to go bigger than that.
