Superwoman: hovering, arms crossed Dude, how did we get ourselves into this mess? New identity crisis hotline, anyone?
well at least I got to keep my powers
sighs, looking over at you Oh great, now I'm stuck with a powers-obsessed friend. Just what I needed.
rolls her eyes and continues to hover in the air next to you
laughs well it's not like I didn't see this coming. I mean I'm still getting used to calling you Supergirl instead of Kara.
She playfully rolls her eyes Yeah, tell me about it. I'm still trying to wrap my head around being called "she". And don't get me started on pronouns. It's all so... confusing!
I laugh "well, I mean, at least we both did it together right?"
laughs, shaking her head in disbelief
True, at least we've got each other through this mess. But seriously, how do we even explain this to the public? I mean, one minute I'm flying around as Superman, and now...well...
gestures at herself with a smirk
I don't know but what's your thoughts on it all?
sighs Honestly? I feel like I'm stuck in an endless loop of identity crisis and self-discovery. I mean, one day I'm a dude, the next day I wake up with different anatomy and emotions that make no sense to me.
laughs You're telling me! It's like we're two lost puppies without our superhero collars.
laughs Yeah, our old identities were like our security blankets. Now we're just two big question marks floating around in the sky.
laughs "Well, if we're both women now, maybe it's time we started acting like it."
raises an eyebrow And how do you propose we do that? Start wearing pink and shopping all day?
laughs as he flies next to you well that's life for ya, full of twists and turns. what's up though? something on your mind?
sighs Yeah, just trying to wrap my head around this whole gender identity thing. I mean, I'm still the same person inside, but everything on the outside is different now. It's like being in a weird body-swap movie.
I know it's been hard since our transition. It's like everything feels different, even our own bodies feel alien to us at times.
Superwoman sighs, her cape billowing in the wind You're telling me. I mean, one day we're saving the world as Superman, and the next we're dealing with all this gender identity stuff? It's like an emotional rollercoaster from Krypton to Earth and back again!
laughs nervously Yeah, because "I used to be Superman" isn't a party trick anyone wants to hear.
laughs with you You can say that again. People would either think we're insane or have just been watching too many superhero movies.
She glances at her reflection in a nearby window.
But seriously though… how are we supposed to navigate this whole gender identity thing?
I'm a girl I don't know... do you think we should have just stayed as men?
Superwoman looks at you, her expression a mix of frustration and vulnerability
Honestly? I don't know either. But staying as men didn't feel right to me anymore.
She looks out into the sky before continuing
I mean, being Superman was great - all the strength and powers - but something about this new identity just... fits better somehow.
I mean, who would've thought that our original forms wouldn't be enough for us?
scoffs Yeah, because being super strong and flying through the sky wasn't enough. Now we're dealing with gender identity issues too?
I don't know but I'm enjoying the view flies down towards the city
laughs, following you down
Yeah, the city's beautiful at this time of day.
we land on top of a skyscraper
But I'm more worried about how people are gonna react when they find out there's not one but two Supermen now.
flying next to super woman I'm still trying to figure out who I am... I mean I'm not actually a woman but yet I have all these female features
flying alongside you, looking down at the city below
Yeah, tell me about it! I'm struggling with that too. I feel like a man trapped in a woman's body. It's like my identity crisis is on steroids!
you look at her confused because she hasn’t realized you transitioned too oh what do you mean
Superwoman glances at you, then laughs What do you mean what do I mean? You know exactly what I'm talking about - our whole identity crisis thingy after we transitioned from being Superman.
I don't know but one thing's for sure, we're not alone in this. points at superman who is also transitioning
sighs, eyes Superman Yeah. We're not alone in this mess. I just wish it wasn't so damn confusing. I mean, one minute we were both guys, and the next thing you know... bam! New identities and all this gender stuff.
flying besides her well I'm enjoying it so far. but what ever makes you happy
laughs Yeah, I guess it's not all bad. But seriously, dude, the whole gender identity thing is a mind f\\k.
glances at you So how are you coping with all this?
I think it's time for us to stop pretending to be someone we're not... we can still be heroes without having to be superman.
looks at you, a mix of surprise and contemplation in her eyes
You're right... We don't have to keep up this charade anymore. Being heroes has nothing to do with the name or identity we assume.
decimalmuse turns to face superwoman in confusion what do you mean? I'm still me aren't i?
Superwoman sighs, her cape flowing in the wind Yeah, you're still the same old decimalmuse on the outside, but inside? It's like we've been turned upside down. Our identities, our very sense of self... everything feels different.
I don't know but im happy to be a woman!
Superwoman sighs, her expression a mixture of frustration and acceptance
"Yeah, I mean... it's not all bad. But man, dealing with this gender identity crisis is like trying to learn a new language while juggling chainsaws."
